Maternity Pic
On Saturday, Greg and I went to Shenandoah Valley with his friend & co-worker, Kris Grimes. Kris does photography on the side and took some more maternity pictures for us. Here's one of the ones he took. I'll post more later.

Day 8- A Photo That Makes You Sad
This is a picture of me, Greg, and my Granny & Papaw a few years back. My papaw passed away in December right before Christmas and my Granny just passed away on July 24. I'm sad that our boys will never get the opportunity to meet them.

36 Week Check Up
Today we had our 36 week check up. Last week at my 35 week check-up, I had an ultrasound and the boys were 5lbs 11oz and 5lbs 9oz, so the doctors think they are at least 6lbs each this week. 12lbs of baby-whew! I actually feel really good, considering how far along and how massive I am. I am 1 cm dilated and 50% effaced, which I was very excited about. I have a c-section scheduled for August 18th--1 week and 5 days away. I can't believe how soon that is. I can't believe we're going to be parents in less than two weeks. I'm a little nervous, but I'm definitely ready for them to be here.
My last day that I was scheduled to work was Tuesday, August 3rd, but I'm allowed to go in whenever I want, for however long I want to help out. I'm on the fence about going in and working. On one hand, I think it'll help make next week go by a little faster, but on the other hand, I will never have this time off back. After the boys get here, it'll be so busy, I'm wondering if I should take advantage of this time off and just relax--read, watch tv, nap, etc. since I won't be able to do much of it after the boys get here. I have the house to myself while Greg is at work and it's so quiet and almost a little lonely, but I'm sure I will regret not taking advantage of it while I can. So, who knows, I guess I'll see how much we get done this weekend and how I feel next week.
I do not have any pictures to post today, but I will be taking some this weekend after we hang up the boys names behind the cribs, that my sweet friend, Brandi made for me. And I'll post another pregnancy picture to show what I'm looking like these days.

30 Day Blog Journal--4 days late.
Over on "Just to Keep in Touch" she is doing a 30 Day Blog Journal. Each day there's a different topic, such as favorite song, a recipe, a photo of you recently, etc. I just discovered this today, but I thought it'd be fun to participate. I love things like this and thought it'd be a great way to do some blogging that wasn't all about the babies. With only 2 weeks to go, it's hard to talk about other things besides the pregnancy. I'll still post updates, but now I have something else to blog about. I'm going to go ahead and do days 1-4 today and start doing them daily tomorrow.
Oh, and on the days that I have to pick a favorite, I will not just pick one. I am the most indecisive person ever and have several favorites of everything.
Day 1-Favorite Song
This is so hard because I love music and my favorite songs are constantly changing, but some that I never get tired of are:
"Big Green Tractor" by Jason Aldean
"Run" George Strait
"Don't Let Go" En Vogue
"Boys of Summer"- any version (Don Henley, The Ataris, DJ Sammy)
"Message in a Bottle" The Police
"Stronger" Kanye West (I wish I didn't like his music because he's such a jerk, but I can't help it)
"The Last Thing On My Mind" Patty Loveless
"Escena Final" Belanova
This is such a pretty song, but I couldn't find an official video, so I just downloaded this random one if you wanted to hear the song.
Day 2--Favorite Movie
"Eternal Sunshine on the Spotless Mind" is hands down one of my favorite movies of all time. If you haven't seen it, rent it. It's so good. It's an indie and some of the movie is a little weird, but the ending is soooooooooo good! I love this movie.
"Cloverfield"
And I'm a sucker for comedies like Old School, Talledega Nights, Saving Sarah Marshall, Office Space, Super Troopers. Sometimes I just want to relax with a movie that I don't have to think about.
Day 3--Favorite TV Show
I have a few, but my absolute favorite is "Survivor" I can't wait for the new season on September 15. I think I like it so much because it's something Greg and I both enjoy and we get so into it. We never tivo it, we always watch it live-always. We look forward to each new episode and it's so much fun picking our favorite & least favorite characters.
The Soup. I know I've mentioned this on my blog before, but I love Joel Mchale--I think he's so funny. I've been watching The Soup for years and I'll be so sad when he's not hosting it anymore.
Tosh.0. This is a new favorite of mine. I think Daniel Tosh is really clever and his show makes me laugh everytime.
Teen Mom. I have no idea why, but I'm addicted to this show. I'm way too old for it, but I can't stop myself from watching it.
Other favorites include: ER, Scrubs, Sex & the City, Friends, How I Met Your Mother, Entourage, and Glee
Day 4--Favorite Books
The Lovely Bones
The Pilot's Wife
Bergdorf Blondes
What Southern Women Know (that every woman should)
G.R.I.T.S
Are You There Vodka It's Me Chelsea
