I went and had a ultra sound, stress test and a check up today! Everything looks really great, especially the babies!! Baby B is still flipped head up but they say that ok as long as Baby A stays head down! Baby B weights a HUGE 5 lbs 9 oz and Baby A weights 5 lbs 6 oz, I have HUGE babies!! They say if i can make it to 35 weeks, this saturday, the babies will probably get to come home with me after only staying for 3 days!!! I really hope that is what happens but we will see! As of right now i am still only a 3 and nothing has changed, I still have 12 days before they will start me and with the way things are going i might make it! If i havent had them by saturday i can do what i want and no more bed rest so on saturday you may see me out trying to run with my 11 pounds of just baby!!

34 weeks
Since this is my scrapbook/journal I am trying to keep it updated as much as possible! So this post will be a little boring and there wont be any pictures, I have my camera in my bag ready to go!!
We had kyles birthday on Sunday, my family came over and cooked his favorite breakfast, stuffed french toast! Then we had his family come down and kyle got to cook them hamburgers, i was no help with anything this year so i guess ill have to make him something really good next year!
My poor Grace woke up last Thursday with a horrible cough so i rushed her to the doctor to get her on a antibiotic just in case the twins came but the doctor told me that it was just allergy's.
So after Thursday to Sunday of only getting worst and running a fever i decided i would just make Dr. Chamberlain look at her when i had my appointment on Monday. I didn't get to take her to see the doctor so Nancy took her for me and got her on a antibiotic and she is feeling so much better now, thank goodness!
Monday we woke up to do the normal Monday thing, NST at 10 and Dr. Chamberlain at 1:30, but it didn't work out that way this Monday!
I got to my NST, oh how boring those are, both the babies looked good and the water in the sacks were good, but i was having contractions pretty regularly, (I thought they were braxton hicks). So off to labor and delivery they ship me, i got hooked up to the monitors, had 3 tests done and had to be checked, the funnest thing of being pregnant. After all of this they decided i was dilated to a 2 and was in preterm labor. They gave me a shot to try and stop the labor and that did nothing but make me shake! After talking to the doctor and running around not telling me much of what was going on, they move me to my own room and told me to get comfortable. They started to give me pills that were suppose to stop the labor but all they did was speed it up! The doctor came in and told me i would be there at least till they could stop my labor or till the girls were born! Kyle had to take my poor sick Grace home then rushed back to the hospital to spend the night there with me! All day Monday the contractions were there and so they just watched me and told me to wait, and that's what we did. Tuesday morning they checked me and i was to a 3+ and having contractions one right after the other every two minutes, so they stopped the pills and decided to just let me go and see what happened. They let me off the monitor and my IV to shower and go for a little walk and told me that in 14 to 16 hours the babies would be here. After my shower and walk they had all the doctors come talk to me and the nurse tell us about the NICU, i was scared to death because she told us the babies could be there for 2 to 4 weeks and that's a long time. we got everything signed and were just waiting for the babies to tell us when they were coming. After about a hour the contractions slowed and slowly left to one about every 15 minutes and continued on like that till now! Tuesday was a very long day of waiting to see if something was going to happen and putting up with a crazy nurse who reminded me alot of Hitler! I was very stressed cause i wanted to keep them in as long as i could but i did not want to sit in the hospital with a IV and the monitor hooked up to me waiting. So we waited and waited and nothing more happened so Wednesday they checked me and i was still at a 3+, they did a ultra sound and finally told me what was going on!
Something, we are still not sure what put, me into labor, then both the babies decided that they were going to try and move into the birth canal at the same time. When my uterus would contract, instead of doing it above the babies to push them out the were going below the babies and pushing them higher. If the contractions would have kept going they would have had to do a emergency C-section. They said the pills must have slowed my labor down enough to relax there little home in my belly and give the babies some room so baby B flipped head up. It is still ok and i can still have them normal it will just be a little harder with "B" head up!
After 47 hours sitting with all the cords hooked up to me, a IV, a horrible bed, having to ask to go to the bathroom, and nothing to do but wait, they let me go home. I am now on bed rest but i would take that any day instead of being in the hospital. I go back Monday to see all the doctors and to see if everything is still going good, hopefully they will not be keeping me this time!
If i can just make it till the end of next week when i will be close to 35 weeks the babies will be good and not have to spend to much time in the NICU. I am feeling really good, i just don't get off the couch much and that's really hard for me, but when i start to go crazy i just think back to the hospital and I'd much rather be on my couch! Hopefully Monday they tell me i can do a little more, but if they don't i only have to sit around and be lazy for about another week.
This will probably be my last post till the girls are here, i think i am ready, i am just hoping that the girls are both ready too! I hope that this post just isn't rambling, i have no brain left!

I made it to 33 weeks and i am pretty miserable and HUGE!! I am still walking and awake for the most part so i think i am still doing pretty good! When i was pregnant with Grace i didn't get one stretch mark, i have not been so lucky this pregnancy! I have so many stretch marks around my belly button its not even funny, i don't think i will be wearing a swimming suit ever again!! I just keep telling myself there are only a few weeks of this left, only about 20 more days at the most, thank goodness!!
Last Saturday i got a surprise diaper shower, i was most defiantly surprised and i got so many diaper! It defiantly help me out so much cause diapers were the only thing left on my list!! now all i have to do is finish packing a bag for me and write my thank you then we are ready to go!
Sally made the cutest diaper babies, i had never seen them but i thought they were about the cutest thing! 
Grace has got allergy's so bad i took her to the doctor to make sure she wasn't sick, but they said it was for sure allergy's! She has always had them but if the wind blows it seems like the poor girl cant breath or anything! Kyle picked her this rose from one of his bushes and she carried it around for 2 days till it died! 
Here is my HUGE belly picture, i have very few shirts that fit over my belly now and so by the end of the night i usually have on a tank top with it pulled up over my belly, my pj pants on and my slippers, kyle made me put on pants before he'd take a picture of me!! 
I just read this and it is pretty scattered and boring, but it is the best i can do in trying to keep up!! I have no brain so that's my excuse!!

Pregnancy Pictures
Well I got talked into doing the pregnancy pictures that i swore i would never do! I figured since this very well could be my last pregnancy i might not get the chance to do it again if down the road i wanted to! Here are a few of the ones that i dont look like i am about to "pop" as some rude stranger put it the other day, and a few really cute ones of Grace!

I thought i better try and stay caught up for the most part, so this is what has been going on here at the Leavitt house!
Trueitt is getting SO big SO fast, i forgot how fast newborns change, if i don't see him everyday he looks bigger and different!! He and Jakell are both doing really good and both love each other and don't like to not be touching! Jakells going to make him the biggest mommas boy that ever lived i'm pretty sure!! Grace loves it when we get to see him, she helps Jakell burp him but if you ask her she will tell you that she is farting him!!
Kyle is making our front yard look pretty again, there for awhile it looked like a bomb had went off out front! He got the sprinklers system in a few weekends ago and just planted the grass today, i cant wait for the grass to come up out there it will look so good! It is most definitely spring time here and i wish i could enjoy it more outside, Grace and Kyle are out there pretty much every chance they get! Kyle works and Grace makes twice as much work for him!! I will have to get a picture of all the new plants he has out there, hopefully he can get most of it done before he runs out of time this year!
Last weekend he also got our "garden" planted! All we did this year is tomatoes and we already have 3 started! Next year we hope to have a bigger garden with all kinds of cool stuff planted in it! 
In other news, Kyle drew a Utah bear tag! He is very excited about it and thats pretty much all thats on his mind lately! It even starts on April 11th, yes thats right when the twins are suppose to be here!! I have gotten over the mad part of him drawing out and am now excited for him as long as we have healthy babies who arent in the hospital for long! The bear tag is a bow tag, i think that is really scary but hes already been practicing and has my dad, his dad and all of his brothers really excited!! 
Grace is getting so big, she is going to be 3 this year and i cant believe it! She has quite the personality and she never stops! We got her this cool bug house at the dollar store and she really loves it! Her and Kyle went for a 4-wheeler ride the other day and caught some lady bugs and rolling pollies as she calls them! Her new phrase she says is " Oh my gosh, what are we going to do"! I love it, she says it to about everything and it cracks me up! 
In baby news, I am 31 weeks 3 day pregnant today! They decided that they were going to give me the steroid shots that develop the babies lungs, i forgot what they are called, but they gave one to me on Friday then we went back up Saturday for the last one! I think that has made me feel alot better just knowing that if something was to happen at least they would have that little bit extra. I still have to make it about 3 more weeks they figure so that the girls wont have eating problems and have to have eating tubes. I also had another UTI that was causing alot of the pain i was in and now that the antibiotics are in my system i feel alot better! The doctor has me scared to do anything but sit around for the most part cause i just do not want them in the hospital if they dont have to be! Both doctors have said that my uterus thinks im alot further along than i am and so that is what could put me into labor! I forgot to ask him what i was measuring because i had lots of questions for him this time, like what to do when you want to eat glue!?!?! But i am huge, i hope to get a picture of my huge self today and put it up but we'll see if that happens. I am going to the doctor every Monday now, either for a non stress test, just to the regular appointment or a ultra sound and sometimes more than one of those!! I am really excited to not be pregnant anymore but i am really nervous to have two newborns I really just hope they are healthy and we dont have to spend much time in the hospital!
I think that is about all that has been going on here, hope everyone is doing great!

almost 30 weeks!!
There will be no pictures with this post pretty much cause it hurts my back to bad to sit at the computer for to long. But Annie wants a update and since i love her, i thought i better update, haha!!!
We went to the doctor again yesterday, we go every two weeks and starting on the 13 of this month it will be every week! That is alot of doctors appointments that we drive a hour for and they pretty much do nothing, but thats ok i only have about 6 more weeks!!!
Anyways the babies are doing really good, both are head down and now baby B is actually further down then baby A, so she will come first! Baby A weights 3 lbs 2 oz and Baby B weights 3 lbs 4 oz, so that means i have 6 lbs 6 oz of just baby, i will be HUGE before this is all over!!! We seen that baby B has lots of hair already so we got all kinds of good news!! When the lady was doing the ultrasound it was hard to tell what went to who cause they are so cramped in there already!!
As for me, the babies are doing lots better than me, they are getting so big that i have no room let in there for anything, really i think i might pop!! Both placentas are in the left side of my ribs and have torn the muscle from my rib cage not to mention Baby A is on that side too! On my right side where baby B foot always seems to be, a muscle has stretched out so far that a nerve is all messed up, i dont really understand that one all i know is i thought i was going to die the night it showed up!! There are a few other muscles that have stretched to there limit and i could go on and on about all my aches and pains but i wont!!
I am not on bed rest if you ask my doctor, just suppose to take it really easy but if you ask kyle he will tell you different! I pretty much do nothing but sit on the couch all day and let my mom take care of Grace whenever she is around and wait for kyle to come home to take care of us! Im really lucky that Grace is as independent as she she and that she has all the grandparents, aunts and uncles that would love to take her for a few hours!
The twins room is almost done and i only have bobbies, diapers, lotions and bath washes left to get!! As for names for baby A and baby B, they might just be coming home as baby A and baby B!! We really like the names.......
Alaynna
Alivia
Addison
Adaline
Kessa
Kensely
The only thing that i know for sure is that there middle names are going to be Merri and Nancy after our moms!! So if you like 2 of the names better than the rest or you have a cute name you would like me to steal from you please give me some input!!
As for never texting, calling, or commenting anyone back i am sorry and after the girls are a few moths old i hope to get back to having a few minutes to do stuff like that!! I really hope that everyone is doing great!!
