28 weeks and counting

The babies are 28 weeks 1 day old in my belly. They are movers and shakers the past few weeks and my husband is still amazed at the movements. He'll put his hand on my belly, feel a few kicks, and then ask "Did you feel that?" It's so cute.

Yesterday was a big baby buying day. We have had some issues with purchasing our baby furniture from JC Penney's and finally had to cancel that order. We stumbled across a gigantic Babies R Us store down the interstate from us...they had such cute clothes. Bobby and I picked out a bed room suit and glider for the boys room. We especially enjoyed trying out the gliders. It took a lot longer than needed but I'm glad to finally be able to take that off my To Do list.

Next we traveled to Hobby Lobby and found some vinyl wall posters that I hope will go well in their room. Bobby purchased an antique looking world map to put up in the room and had to spray paint the cheap ugly frame bought at wal-mart. There is no real "theme" for the nursery - mostly shapes, patterns, and colors....and I guess with the map and posters it has something to do with traveling the world, accomplishing great things, etc.

The bed is ready for our little monkeys.

Bobby and I made another big decision this past week with the agreement to hire a maid for the next week months. I'm too big to do much if any house work and Bobby is too busy with school and getting the babies room ready to clean. I plan on calling her Monday morning and set up a day that she can come and clean every 2 weeks. I'm excited to have a clean house without hurting myself or the babies.

26 Weeks Down

Today I am 26 weeks pregnant and feeling every single pound these babies weigh, which is nearly 2 pounds by now. The doctor said that I could stop working whenever I felt like it because she wants me to take it easy till the babies get here. I assured her that I'm taking it easy at work and will let her know when I want to leave work and begin "nesting".

In the mean time, I have ordered baby furniture and bedding, and can't wait to have everything set up in the room. My sister is creating a canvas for us to put on the hospital door with the boys info. We choose Psalm 136:1 as our birth announcement verse: "Give thanks to the Lord for He is good. His love endures forever." Everything will be in the same colors and design as our bedding.

We were blessed to have a baby shower while in Mississippi for Christmas and thanks to our wonderful family and Oak Grove family, we have a slight dent in diapers and wipes. Not to mention some super cute baby clothes and toys. A really sweet lady from Oak Grove made the boys two crocheted blankets - one white and the other baby blue. I can't wait to wrap the boys up in them.

2010 has been an awesome year but I can't wait to see what God has in store for us in 2011.
