It occurs to me that after my CONTRACTIONS! EVERY SEVEN-TO-TEN MINUTES! LABOR! IMMINENT! post of this weekend, I should now update every day, lest you think I pumped out these kids, mastered twin breastfeeding, got them both on the same sleep schedule AND hired the perfect yet totally affordable nanny and that’s why I haven’t posted.
Not that you’re sitting around, thinking: why hasn’t that huge-assed, sloth-toed Watson posted lately? What the hell is going on?!?
(If you did think that it would be quite mean, really. True. But mean.)
Where was I?
Oh yeah! No babies yet. The contractions didn’t continue yesterday, I took it easy and just relaxed most of the day and made sure to stay very hydrated, which of course meant hauling my large self off the couch and into the bathroom on a regular basis.
I’m due for another NST tomorrow and then I’m going back to my OB on Friday, so I think I’ll play it by ear for the next day or two and see what happens. There seems to be slightly less fetal movement, but of course with two in there it’s fricking hard to tell who’s doing what. If that continues and starts to freak me out, I’ll call the doctor asap and go in for a check.
I’m 36 weeks and 1 day today. I would love to hit that window of 37 weeks, yet not cross the threshold into 38 when my dr might want to induce. So not that I’m demanding or anything — just hoping for a several-day window when these kids decide to make an appearance. I guess if they don’t make a move to vacate the ute this week, I might have to take matters into my own hands. (Alex, for $1000, what is NIPPLE STIM?!)
Before I start really blathering incoherently, Iknowtoolate, here are some photos of where the babies will be making their home. With more to come because, honestly, I just don’t have that much to say.
To ensure their love of Boston Terriers at an early age:
Thank you for the update! The room looks adorable and I am totally mesmerized by your stroller (from the last post). Is this tried and true perfection? How did you go about picking one?
Keep hydrated and KEEP US POSTED!
WHEW!!! I’ve been thinking of you and wondering if you had those babies… thanks for the update. Crossed fingers and toes that they make their appearance long before you need to worry about the “I” word.
Nursery is DAMN cute, too.

V cute nursery!!
I did wonder if you’d had those babies, but I didn’t call you huge-assed OR sloth-toed, either in my mind or out loud! 🙂
You’re hilarious!!! Now, I didn’t say those horrible things about you, but I did just said to J, “I need to go check on Watson to see if she delivered those babes yet.”
I will be checking back daily and anxiously waiting with you.
Adorable nursery and I loved the comments from your dog in that last post. Yeah, his life is about to change big time. Poor puppy.
Wishing you all the luck in the world as the Watson countdown begins!
Thanks for the update. I hope those twins continue to hang out for a little longer for you!
The nursery looks great. I love the animals on the walls.
It won’t be long now!
Maybe their first words will include “Bosco” (pronounced bokko)!
Hope they arrive soon!
I love the crib 🙂
Glad the kids decided to hang around a bit longer – the saying around here is ‘a day on the inside is like a week on the outside’
Any special reason why your doc wants to induce at 38 weeks?
Thanks god for updates 😉 Nice choice for the nursery too, like it 🙂
LOVE the nursery. who did the paintings? and the murals? me likey.
it looks like there is a standing baby in the crib? are you sure one didn’t sneak out?
