I can't believe it but the girls are 8 weeks old already! Where has the time gone?
They are so alert and social. Every day is filled with something new!
Here are some updated pictures. Enjoy!

Mommy and her girls

Hannah Elizabeth-8 weeks old

Brooke Rachelle-8 weeks old

Our first Easter together: April 12, 2009

They are here!

Brooke Rachelle and Hannah Elizabeth graced us with their presence on February 19, 2009.

Here are their stats:

Brooke Rachelle Rotherham
Born 3:00 pm
5 lbs 10.2 oz
18 1/2 inches long

Hannah Elizabeth Rotherham
Born 3:01 pm
4lbs 6oz
17 inches long

Both are doing very well. We are loving every minute with them. I can't believe they are over a week old already. Time is going so fast.

Hope everyone is doing well. I'll try and get pictures on here soon.

Love,
The Rotherham family (I love that I can say that now!)

Finally

Just a quick note to let everyone know that tomorrow is D-day! That's right! Brooke and Hannah are going to grace us with their presence tomorrow afternoon! We are being scheduled for a c-section at either 2 or 3. All prayers are welcomed and appreciated and I'll get pictures on here as soon as I am up to it!

God Bless you all!

Update

I went to the dr. today and found out that I am dialated to 1 cm. Exciting news for my birthday! Still haven't set a date yet, but it could be anytime now. Maybe this weekend even. I was tested for toxemia and strep B. I hope it will be soon, but these girls will come when they are good and ready.

There is still a chance I won't have to have a c-section either. The lead baby is head down and if she stays there, we will wait for labor.

We finally have two names.

Brooke Rachelle (after my sisters Rachel and Michelle)
Hannah Elizabeth

We love them! Pray for patience for the mommy to be and a safe delivery.

Hope everyone is well. I will try to update this each day, since I am on bed rest anyway. Have a great weekend!

Really Bad...

I'm really bad at this whole updating thing. It doesn't help that I've been on bedrest since last Wednesday. The dr.'s were concerned about my progression so therefore took me off work completely. I was on vacation all last week, so this is my first "official" week of being on bedrest. I went to see Dr. H on Monday and he measured my belly. OK, I'm 32 weeks, and my belly measures 42 cm. If I were only having one baby, my belly would say that I am 42 weeks along right now. I would be overdue! The good thing, I don't think I look that big. Regardless of how I feel (fat, huge, VERY preggo), I think I look good.

Back to the update.

So, the babies could be here in as few as 2 weeks. Scary, but SO exciting! I can't begin to tell you how much I am longing to hold them and feel them and smell them. I'm ready to be Mommy.

Dr. H is hopeful that we will be able to deliver without a c-section, however, Baby B is taking after her mommy and is showing herself to be breech. She wants to come out mooning the world!

We still only have the one name. Still not agreeing on another name. Not sure what we're going to do. I guess we'll wait until they are here. I feel bad b/c she doesn't have a name yet and we can't call her by her name.

Well, it's back to resting. Hope everyone is doing well! More updates to come soon, I hope!

Update

I have changed my layout. I figured since we know we are having girls, it's ok to make it a little more girly.

I have had a cold since the Sunday after Christmas and I'm really tired of it. It is finally starting to go away, thankfully. I go back to the dr. today and I am very excited. I also go back to the specialist on Thursday. I am really looking forward to that b/c I will get another sonogram.

I am 30 weeks along now and only have 10 weeks to go! I'm so excited! I have a baby shower thrown by my mom's friend Kathy this weekend and then two more showers next weekend. One will be thrown by my aunts and the other will be thrown by my mom. I am looking forward to seeing a lot of people I haven't seen in a while.

I hope everyone had a great Christmas and are enjoying the New Year so far. I know it's only been 6 days, but it has been almost a week!

I will try to update this later tonight and let you know how the dr. appointment went.
Have a good day!
