We still can't agree on middle names. And be "we" I mean "me." Max and Miles will for sure be their first names. (Unless the ultrasound techs have all made a terrible mistake but I highly doubt that.)
We got a Canon SLR camera that also takes 1080p video, but we both have to learn how to use it. It's a little intimidating, but yet exciting because we've been wanting an SLR for a long time.
We had a Baby "Celebration" (not a baby shower since guys don't do baby showers haha) with the Adams' family and several friends. Almost every single person invited was there... all the support really made us realize (again) how wonderful our family and friends are.
Zach has officially taken over the housework. I can't do the dishes because my belly is in the way, and I feel like sweeping/mopping/vacuuming is enough to send me into cardiac arrest. Our house is pretty clean and organized because Zach has just the perfect amount of OCD. We both know this. I'm not complaining about it either.
I had no idea this pregnancy would require such patience. I'm only 31 weeks, and I have to be honest... it's very frustrating at times, especially when I don't want to ask for or accept any help. But my pride is on it's way out the door, and I'm sure by the end there will be none left. Zach is being a good sport about taking on the extra responsibility.
I'm having plenty of contractions but our doctor isn't too concerned about it at this point. On Monday, they did some monitoring at Labor & Delivery and I was contracting every 5 minutes, but because I'm not "progressing" too much, seriously our doctor didn't even bat an eye. I'm learning that with a twin pregnancy, all symptoms and issues are considered "normal", so alot of times I don't even bother to ask. Unless Miles decides to flip into a better position soon, it looks like this will probably be a c-section delivery. I'm not sure how I feel about that, but I will do whatever is required to bring this into world safely. I've never had surgery in my life!
We are so anxious to meet our little guys but know it's important they continue to bake as long as possible. Physically, I feel ready for their arrival, but mentally...not so much. Neither of us feel prepared for parenthood, but we keep telling ourselves that this is just part of the adventure!!

OH you are so adorable! Hang in there. C-Sections are not the ideal way to go (in my opinion) but they are nothing to be afraid of. The recovery is harder but the delivery is easier. I have had two of each. You and the boys will do great and we cannot wait to meet them. I am glad that you married such an awesome person who is willing to help out.
Love to all

Rochelle - You look AMAZING!!! Most moms pregnant with twins would kill to look as good as you!!! Hope to see you at Thanksgiving!
Oh yum! I love this post! Keep them babies baking! You are too cute. Zach and you are going to be amazing parents. I don't think anyone really knows what to expect about being a parent, and that's half the fun!
Oh lordy! Twins!! I still can't get over it.
