Merry Christmas from Team Haass!

Merry Christmas, everyone! Forgive my late update this week, things have been a bit rough around here! To make a long story short, I'll share an important lesson I learned this week:

8 months pregnant with twins + stomach flu = Bah Humbug

I had planned on including some pictures with this post, since many people have been asking for a look at "twin mountain," but will have to wait until next week, because I can assure you that in my current state I am far from photogenic :)

But enough complaining, we still have much to be thankful for this Christmas season!  I had my 31-week doctor appointment on Thursday morning, and am happy to report that the twins are still growing strong.  Both are estimated to weigh a little over 4 pounds now, and both have hair on their heads that could be seen on the ultrasound!  I got a big kick out of that for some reason :)

Also, my doctor said that as long as things continue to look good in uterus land, he will remove my restrictions around the 34 week mark, and I will be allowed more time on my feet and out of the house. I am not expecting to be able to run a marathon, but I would love to be able to work on the nursery a bit and get a badly needed haircut before the babies are born, so this is very exciting to me! 2 weeks and 3 days left of bed rest- I can do that!

That's all for now, but I will post some pictures next week, I promise!  Wishing everyone a wonderful holiday!
