Reality Check......

It is going to be any day now............ I have never seen my wife so uncomfortable as she is now and to think that she is carrying two of my babies I can see why. For someone who usually weighs 105 pounds and now is around 145 is quite a difference. I don't have the words to say how I feel. My poor wife is so tired and bored with sitting around but that will all change shortly, at least the bored part. I predict that the girls will be born within two weeks because I can't see my wife going much further. I want her to be comfortable but I also want whats best for the babies. The last visit to the doctor was good and I hope to have the same result this week. I am getting very nervous, what will I do when it's time? What will I do in the delivery room? What will I do when they come home? I am getting freaked out but I know this is going to come natural to me. I can't wait but the nervous energy is killing me. I can't wait to see little Reese and Riley.

35 weeks and counting


Michelle had another doctor's appointment this week and from the looks of it we may not see the babies until Week 38 - 40. One of the babies is in the right position to deliver but the other baby is laying sideways so it is possible that we may get a scheduled C- Section. Michelle is so tired, immobile and swollen right now that it is hard for her to breath and move. What can I do to help is the burning question? If I was not such "the man" with the dual shot she would not be in such pain. Just kidding around!!!! Scan through the pictures and see her belly from the beginning until now. What a difference!!!! The babies are really getting rambunctious in there. I am in awe at how much they actually push her belly out in the weirdest of places and shapes. I often wonder if I am seeing a hand, foot, elbow or knee when her stomach is being pummeled. I really enjoy seeing Daddy's Duo move but I hope that they are not hurting their mommy too much. This is getting to be a real task for my wife to do daily things like get the mail or drive her car. I want her to stay on strick bed rest for at least the last few weeks but that will be prety hard for her to do. Last night her feet were really swollen and I think that it freaked her out just a bit. It was very noticeable and I think she is getting very close to having the bundles of joy.

Pins and Needles - any day could be the day

I am really getting nervous! Everyday when I get home my wife is exhausted and feeling pain and I feel helpless so I do my best to rub her feet and let her know how honored I am for her to carry our two babies. She is so uncomfortable just moving around that I can tell the girls will be here soon. I want them to stay inside for at least 4 more weeks but the way Michelle is acting it looks to be any day now. We are really getting along so well right now and I could not be happier. I have even been getting so close to my step daughter lately that I feel so complete. My step daughter Taylor who I think of as my own made my lunch for me yesterday. She was so cute about it and wrote me a note that said "Hey Daddy Jay, I hope that you have a great day at work I just wanted to say that I love you. Love Pumpkin" This was the best feeling anyone could ever feel. I ate my lunch with the biggest smile that you could imagine. Taylor can be so sweet and loving when you least expect it. I have been thinking so much now about my new family dynamic and I heard a really good quote, "Any man can be a father, but it takes a special person to be a dad". I promise to make these words ring true with all three of my girls! Blessed indeed is the man who hears many gentle voices call him father!

34 Weeks - Double Occupancy - we are almost in the clear.

Can you even believe it, the partners in crime are so close to being born. All things will become wreckage of the "Twinadoes" when they arrive. I guess that we won't really be going crazy until they start to walk but nonetheless it will be challenging. The wombmates are kicking mommy so much now and moving around that I can tell that they are getting so much stronger. We want to keep them inside as long as possible but feel confident now if they were born today they would be absolutely safe. Check out Michelle's Watermelon shirt, how fitting I sell Watermelon and she is growing them. I just bought the twins some Miami Dolphins gear to be ready for the season. I am wondering how much time I will be able to devote to watching football this season? I can't wait for the twins and football to get here. I imagine that the twins will take a front seat to football from now on. I can't wait untill I can take them to their first game.
