Last Friday was the final shower. It was thrown by Elizabeth's visiting teachers from church. Here's a picture of the hostesses with the mosteses.
Everyone came here to the house, which was nice, because it meant we didn't have to lug all the gifts home afterward. We received lots of very useful gifts. At this shower we received more gear than clothes. I don't know how they all resisted the urge to buy those cute matching outfits! It's hard to pick favorites, but one of my favorites was definitely a gift from Sis. Vest who used to be Elizabeth's 1st Counselor when she was the Primary President. She made a really neat mobile with lambs. Since both of the babies already have mobiles for their cribs we are going to hang this one in a corner of the room up near the ceiling. I think it will look really neat.
Refreshments included fresh fruit and chocolate fondue and a beautiful cake from Long's Bakery (yum!).
Elizabeth had a doctor's appointment today. I didn't go again this time because there was no ultrasound. Everything went great! She is now measuring 39-40 weeks (how comfortable that must be). Hannah's heart rate was in the 140's, and Noah's heat rate was in the 150's. Dr. Asdell made a comment about Noah being much more active than Hannah. Sounds like we're in for a real treat! ;) She said to keep up the good work and that 35 weeks is a good goal. That's only 12 days away!! EEK! She did say, of course, the longer the better. So for now, Elizabeth will keep trying to hold them in (much to her dismay)!
The next doctor's appointment will be in two weeks. It will include an ultrasound and an exam. Now the question is....will she make it?
I thought it might be fun to have everyone take a guess when they will be born and see who is closest. My guess is going to be 36 weeks exactly, which is September 28th. What's your guess? You can enter it by adding a comment to the post. It's pretty self-explanatory, hopefully everyone can figure it out.
The next post will either be after the next doctor's appointment in two weeks or if something else happens in the meantime. I'll be anxiously waiting for the next post....believe me!

I hope the birth date is before the 28th as I'm going on vacation to WA and won't get the news right away. I'm betting on the 26th.

my guess is Oct 2, which I think will make it 37 weeks.
I know you don't want to hear this, but she is doing so well I think she'll go pretty far. I'm going to say Oct. 10. Good luck!
I like Peggy's guess of October 2, as that is my brother David's birthday. I had actually thought of guessing that date - maybe it's a sign?!?!?
Just to make it more interesting, though, I will make my guess September 30th.
I have always thought Elizabeth's babies would be born on Sept. 30th. But since that day is taken, I will go with the next day - Sunday, Oct. 1st. I always thought it would be neat to have a baby on Sunday because of the poem that says, "But the child born on the Sabbath Day is fair and wise and good in every way."
I think Sept.22. That is New Moon night. It also is a Friday, how convienent. I hope all is well, it sounds like you are doing great. Lots of Love.
My guess will be my birthday which is Sept. 24. However, I think it would be neat if one baby was born on one day and the other one on the following day - that way they each have their own date!

I was going to log on and say October 2nd. It just sounded good. Then I read the comments and saw I wasn't the only one....I think it is a sign!

I'm going to guess October 6th. I think it would be cool if Hannah was born on the 6th and Noha was born on the 7th.
And, Yes!, I think Liz is looking very beautiful.
Best of Wishes, Mom & Dad. I know you are waiting on pins & needles for the big day to arrive. The next phase of your life is about to begin. Enjoy!
