34 Weeks and we have Names!!!

Today is officially the 34 week mark, and we are still in mom's belly. Who would have thought that 10 weeks ago, when mom was first admitted to the hospital, that we would be here today. As of today the doctor will no longer take any extreme measures to stop mom's labor if we decide it is time to come out. Mom and dad are very excited about that because that means no more magnesium (the yucky drug) to stop the contractions. Mom is still on her terbutaline pump to help slow the contractions, but that probably won't stop us if we become determined, and the doctor said that is okay. We are definitely getting pretty cramped in here. Both of us are under mom's ribs, and we hear her complaining that it hurts a lot. We also like to use mom's bladder as a trampoline, which I'm sure she appreciates. I think mom and dad are both ready for us to come out soon for many reasons.

We also officially have names now!!! Mom and dad finally decided what we will be named, but sorry, we can't tell anyone. Only five people know our names: mom, dad, us, and Wrigley of course. Good luck trying to get Wrigley to spill the beans!

Finally, we want to thank all of you for your thoughts and prayers during this pregnancy. We definitely didn't make things easy for mom or dad, but we made it pretty far, and we're still going. We can't wait to come out soon and meet all of you, and then we promise we'll tell you all our names!
