First things first, I went back to work this week after a week off. It was a rough transition back, even with only working 8 hours a day! Luckily, Tuesday we had an all plant meeting off site. We got business updates and had a motivational safety speaker. It was a good day and was fairly short. Tuesday after work, I came home and crashed on the couch for an hour and a half! It's wearing me out. Luckily, I had a great meeting with my boss and my coworker on Friday to talk about how we will cover my workload with only working 8 hour days and we made a plan for covering for me while I'm out. Hopefully this keeps me in check while at work :)
The baby appointment went well this week. The babies are the length of an ear of corn, are growing like weeds and are getting stronger! Both babies were head down at this point, so they continue to flip around. The boy weighs 1lb 11oz and is measuring to a delivery date of 9/17. The girl weighs 1lb 10 oz and is measuring to a delivery date of 9/23. I'm measuring at 30 weeks, which is to be expected with twins.
The ultrasound tech is a pro! We had her last time as well and she is so quick to get measurements and pictures. This is great because I can only last on my back for about 10-15 minutes before I feel like I'm going to pass out. She finished up the ultrasound with me on my side. Here are a couple 3D pics of the babies:

I decided I should do a bump picture this week as well. I feel like I'm growing every day so it seems like I'm changing enough week to week to warrant a new bump picture :)
Yesterday, our second crib was delivered along with some more kiddo gear. My sister-in-law, Kim, her three kids and my mom came down for a few hours. Mom and Kim ended up having to take the door off the hinges to get the crib into the room, but they made it fit. Meanwhile, I went outside with the kids and they helped me put up the rabbit fence around the garden and water my flowers. They don't get to use the garden hose at home so they were very excited about doing the watering. They may have had some wet clothes by the end of it, but it's just water. They dried off eventually :) After lunch, Kim went out to run some errands. Once John was back from his Dad class, we corralled the three down to the ice cream shop. I think their trip back might have been more fun than getting ice cream.
