This is my update for the last week or so. On March 21st my Crossroads church family threw me my final baby shower. I knew the ladies would have some sort of surprise for me, but they truly outdid themselves this time. What was my surprise you ask? My best friend Andrea flew in from Arizona and showed up at my house at 9:30 in the morning while I was getting ready. I hear the doorbell ring and think - who could that be - then I hear Andrea say "Candi." I was like, WHAT??? I was truly in shock b/c just that morning while I was doing my makeup I was trying figure out what the surprise would be and I thought, how awesome would it be if Andrea showed up, but then I rationalized with myself and knew that it was impossible. And then there she was...she actually showed up. It was so incredibly special to have her share in this big day; she actually led a time of prayer and encouragement for me which was so uplifting. Another surprise of the morning was a fun Price is Right game...and who played Bob Barker, none other than my hubby. I had such a wonderful time with my sweet friends from all walks of my life, it was a great way to celebrate! Hope you enjoy these photos from the shower.

On March 25th I went to the doctor for just a regular check-up. My blood pressure continues to be stable, no anemia and I'm measuring just fine. I will go back to the doctor on April 8th for another ultrasound and I'll find out how much the babies weigh. Hopefully they've gained over 1 lb. each b/c I know that I had gained 4 lbs in 2 weeks and I'm hoping most of that is baby. I'm continuing to work, hopefully for at least a few more weeks - I'm kind of playing it by ear. I'll be 34 weeks this Friday, which is the mark that the doctors told me they wouldn't stop me if I went into labor. We're still hoping that they'll make it to 37, preferably 38 weeks, so hopefully I've got 3-4 more weeks until they arrive. I feel like we're much more prepared. We've gotten all the presents put away, the sheets are on the bed, the changing table is stocked with diapers and the carseats are in the car. The only things I REALLY need to do are go through and wash clothes and finally, pack my bag for the hospital. I'm so in shock that they're so close to being here.
