Sapphires are BEAUTIFUL!

Ha! Ha! So here it is September 1 and my belly is still growing. Our doula pointed out that sapphires are the birthstone for September and would make a beautiful mother's ring. Needless to say, I quickly shared that with Matthew who was not amused. ;)

We never in a million years thought we would be here watching college football with the babies still in utero. Maybe if Oklahoma and Texas play well today, the babies will decide to come out so they can root on their two favorite teams! Or if I cheer loud enough, it will startle them and send them out to join us!

This past Wednesday marked the victory for the babies on the friendly bettin' calendar of expected arrival date and genders. They outlasted everyone's predictions! Thank you to those who participated and let the lesson be learned, never bet against a Jankowski! The twins had their first deposit of $33 made into their savings account!! That should at least pay for 1/2 of a college textbook that they can share...

I had a cervical stretch done yesterday by our midwife to help promote the commencement of labor. I had stronger, though still not significant, contractions yesterday and this morning, so we are hopeful that it might have worked. We have also scheduled an induction for next Friday which will hopefully motivate them to come out on their own before then. At least there is an end in sight.

Come on babies, come out to cheer on the Horns and Sooners!
