Week 27 & 28

Hi again! It's been a crazy couple of weeks. I will start with last week Tuesday. I had an appointment to take the diabetes test, get my Rhogam shot, and see my doctor for my monthly checkup. The appointment started in the lab where I had to drink the orange sugar drink. It actually didn't taste as bad as I thought it would. It was like really sugary pop or melted popsicle. Then I went down a floor to my doctor's office. We listened to the girls heart rates and she took my pulse, which was much better. She also said that when I went back to the lab they would retest my thyroid levels to see how that is going. So, I went back to the lab and had to wait until it had been exactly an hour after I drank the orange stuff. They took my blood and then I went back down to my doctor's office for the Rhogam shot. They had to wait until after the blood was drawn to give the shot so that they wouldnt interfere with eachother. After that my appointment was finally over. My doctor's nurse called me back later that day to tell me that my thyroid levels were normal and that I passed the diabetes test. Good News!!

Thursday night after Kevin's volleyball practice and after my conference for work, we headed to Watertown for Wedding Weekend! Friday morning we got up and went to the Opera House to setup for the rehearsal dinner that night. Rehearsal went well and the dinner was great! After the rehearsal we headed to the reception site to get setup. It looked gorgeous!!

Saturday morning Mom and I headed to our hair appointments and then off to the church. Crazy but so fun to see my brother get married and Lauren looked beautiful!! As far as my bridesmaid dress goes--I am really glad that the wedding was last weekend. Not sure I could have fit into it for too many more weeks. I did end up doing a shoe change after pictures were finished. The ones I really wanted to wear were not practical at all, but were so cute! At least I stuck them out for a little while :) Thanks to my parents and to the Olson's for a GREAT weekend! Congratulations to Reid and Lauren!! Hope you are having a wonderful time relaxing in Mexico!
PS....Unfortunately all of the pictures I took were on my mom's camera so I have no pictures to post of the wedding.

Today we had an appointment for an ultrasound so we got to see the girls! Everything looks great and the girls are continuing to grow. Baby A is 2.9 pounds and Baby B is 2.8 pounds. The doctor said we didnt have to come back for another 4 weeks. The ultrasound tech said that is pretty great for having twins as some people have to come in every week just to make sure everything is going ok and that the babies are growing.

We also want to say Congratulations to Kristen and Dan on the new addition to their family. They were blessed with a little baby girl-Sydney Bernice. So excited to meet her!

Since I didnt post last week and I actually didnt even get a picture taken, I thought I would take a picture this week with last week's and this week's veggies--cauliflower and lettuce. These veggies are not near as cute as the little fruits we started with but that is ok :)
