Baby Shower

Thank you to Crystal and Anjela for the most wonderful baby shower one could ask for! You girls did an amazing job!! Everything was so adorable and so well planned, I felt so special and so loved! I am lucky to have you in my life and I am so lucky to call you girls my best firends!!

I am waiting on the pictures that were taken at the shower (hint hint) then I will share them with you... in the mean time, here are a couple pictures of some of the items we received.

Feeling Special

So today my cousin Lisa took me shopping, and because I am supposed to be on bed rest and not walking around Target, she made me ride around in this motor cart.. hahahaha, I felt like such an old lady!!! It was fun tho, until it ran out of juice!

She bought me an adorable outfit to wear for the baby shower and she picked up my shower gift(s) while we were there! I am so excited and so grateful!

Thank you Lisa!!!

The Glider

One of the pieces of furniture that my mom and dad purchased for us (with all the nursery furniture) is the Glider that Danny wanted to watch sports and rock the babies in... he is more than excited to try it out before the babies get here.

30 Week Belly Pic

30 Week Ultra Sound

I had my 30 week Ultra Sound Appointment today and Grandma Kathi came along. it was fun for her to see her grandbabies! They are both growing wonderfully and are estimated to be over 3 pounds each.

If you click on the picture, it will enlarge and you can actually see the facial features of both babies.

Elissa Lynn - 3 pounds 2 oz


Derrick James 3 pounds 6oz (You can see he has his hand on his forehead)

We have gotten a little bit more done on the nursery! I can't wait to get all the bedding in there, its going to be so cute.

This is the pattern we registered for at Target... The baby bedding will be the pink/brown and blue/brown and the rest of the nursery will be brown/white (like the curtains, changing table etc)

29 Week Dr. Visit

Things are going really well. Babies are both growing at a great rate and their heartbeats are in normal range. Good news!

Since the babies are growing so well, the Dr. put me on Modified best rest for the remainder of the pregnancy (9 weeks to go) to prevent preterm labor. Basically because they are getting so big, my body only knows "size" not how many babies. So because everything is so large, my body would naturally think its ready to deliver... but of course the babies are not ready yet.

Modified bed rest means I am supposed to lay around and do NOTHING all morning and all evening long. For an hour or two during the afternoon I can get up and do small things, but simple things. I started this yesterday, and I am already bored out of my mind. I don't know how I am going to do this for 9 weeks. I tend to catch myself walking around the house looking for things to do... I know *BAD* but I feel so unproductive and BORED! Ugh!

Thank you!!

A special thank you to Heidi Lund for thinking of us when her friend was ready to pass down some baby clothes! She brought us over a bag full of little girl clothes, adorable clothes!! I had so much fun looking through them all and can't wait to put them all in the dresser in the nursery!

We have a TON of baby girl clothes Newborn-3 months and are in need of only clothes 6 months and larger at this point... as well as Boy stuff. We have nothing boy yet :o) other than a couple of outfits.

Here is a pic of the pile Heidi brought over tonight.

There were a few little outfits that refer to Grandma, I thought my mom and Kathi might like... here is a pic of one of them... adorable!
