31 weeks, YIKES!

We have been very busy the last few weeks trying to prepare for the babies arrival, we have decided that they just can't come early because of one small detail, we just can't come up with names for them, any suggestions are greatly appreciated! Tanner has been very busy with farming and planting and with the weather not cooperating it has been an exhausting start to the year. We are also in the process of trying to buy a new car which will accommodate our growing family and have had not much luck finding exactly what we want so we are starting to compromise and think we have finally found one that will meet our needs, more on that in the next few weeks hopefully.
During my last few OB appointments I passed my glucola test (thank goodness), have been maintaining good weight gain, have had repetitive negative fetal fibronectin tests, and though I have been contracting have managed not to dilate my cervix at all. I am currently still working 3, 8 hour shifts a week but my Dr. wants me to cut back some more in another weeks or so. Both babies are growing steadily Baby A was measuring 2 lbs 13 0z at 29 weeks and Baby B was measuring 3 lbs 1 oz. I can't believe they are already that big. We will probably have another grownth scan this week and fully expect them to be closing in on 4 lbs each. Both babies are currently breech which definitely causes some rib discomfort, they are very active and get the hiccups a lot ( I guess they get that from their mom). Our little boy has the chubbiest cheeks, I just can't wait to kiss them!
Our little girl seems to have a much longer, narrower face. I love how you can see all the spirals in the umbilical cord in this picture.

My belly picture at 30 weeks, I can't believe I have over 6 lbs of baby in there!

And what an adorable belly it is! Although I don't want them to come early either, I sure can't wait to meet them! I haven't come up with any good names for you, but I'm sure that whatever you choose will be absolutely perfect for them. By the way, if you're reading this, I forgot to call you on Friday night, but I'm going to the staff meeting on the 12th (unless something changes and they would prefer me not to go, but we'll plan on that...). Talk to you later! Thanks for the update by the way!
