Doctor's Orders

So.... I've been on 'modified bedrest' now for the past 4 weeks. Long story short--they thought the babies were coming, admitted us to high risk labor and delivery (at not even 28 weeks!), told us I'd possibly be in the hospital on bedrest until I delivered, gave us some steroids, then sent us home the next day and said I can't work and to take it real easy. To say the least, we were terrified. Matt and some friends gave me a blessing and my family fasted for us the next day.
All in all, we just feel so grateful that they have stayed put and are not here yet--as much as we want to meet them, at 2-3 pounds it would have been a long road in the NICU.
So here I am, in all my biggness and 31 week prego glory.(I'm backtracking here to review the past several weeks.) The crib set-up. I was so excited the day these cribs arrived on our front door. I found a sweet deal online for them- by them, yes, I mean TWO cribs. The reccomendation is to keep the boys in the same crib for about the first 3 months or so, then put them in separate cribs. In February we got to meet baby Evelyn, such a cute baby! She's the newest addition to the Wintch family, soon to be followed by our boys and Emily's little girl. Emily and her boys stopped by this week and we had lots of fun feeding the ducks and going to the park. Some of my girlfriends from work: Emily, JoJo, and Julia. We have some of the best friends we could ever ask for. They have been so supportive and helpful. Stopping by for visits and bringing us dinner--we feel so lucky to know such good people.We had some friends over on Easter Sunday for dinner and enjoyed Conference and playing with Brady. He is such a doll!
That's the last several weeks in review......today I'm 31 weeks and 4 days.......but who's counting.

You look fantastic. I know you don't think so and you probably don't even like to hear that, but it's true. Glad things are still A-OK. You are in our prayers!

You look so cute prego--you're all belly. Hang in there just a little longer.

You're a cute prego girl! Of course you are like a tall stick with a beach ball under that shirt. How do we really know you're pregnant?! haha!
Can't wait to see those bebes! :)

Uh, I hoped over here from Sharon's blog. I had no idea you were expecting, let alone with twins! How exciting, but not the part about bedrest, that doesn't sound fun at all! Best of luck! I hear twins are just the best. Double the work, double the fun, right?
