Fall Family Pictures

A few weeks ago we ventured to the Griggs' cabin to celebrate some family birthdays.  Since most of us were all in one place we took a few family pictures .  We got the CD of pictures today from Andi's sister so I thought I would share a few of them. 

Pictures of the Kids

So, here are some of the first picutres of the kids. The photographer was great, especially given she didn't have any light to help her out. It's amazing how far technology has come. The first is Baby A (Cooper) at 18 weeks and the second is Baby B (Kennedy) at 22 weeks. They say they are measuring about a week further along. So that is hopefully a good sign that they are healthy.

Do I look that big?

Yesterday, I went to get Curtis' Jeep registered and this is a little conversation I had.

DMV lady: Oh, when are you due?
Me: The beginning of February.
DMV: REALLY! I thought you were going to say next month.

I work in a doctor's office and this is an encounter I had with one of our patients.

Patient: When are you going to have your baby?
Me: Beginning of February sometime.
Patient (with bulging eyes): But you're so big!!!

It's at that point that I insist on justifying my huge belly by explaining that I'm having twins:)

21 Weeks

Here's another belly picture with approximately 3 ½ months to go! I'm getting so excited. Okay, I've been excited for a long time. The nursery has been painted since before I was even pregnant. We've cleared out Robert's Craft of all the brown vinyl and are trying to patiently wait for the next shipment. I've been finding all sorts of deals on KSL and Craigslist. I got a double BOB stroller for $300! That's about half off with the extras she gave me. Thanks to my wonderful friends and family for picking things up for me. Cedar City doesn't have very many great deals so I end up asking people for favors. I'm trying to be ready by Christmas even though I probably won't have these babies until the beginning of February. I think it will be nice to know that I'm ready and I'm a little bit worried that I'll be on bed rest at the end (I hear it happens to a lot of mothers with twins). I figure I should prepare for it just in case.

Addresses

Yes, I am posting a blog asking for people's addresses. I've realized that a lot of the people I keep in contact with now is through the blog world. In the coming weeks, we will be having baby showers and in the coming months, we will be sending out some very cute baby announcments. This is a call for any addresses. Thanks so much.

Baby Belly Pictures

Andi had me take a picture a few weeks ago and then again tonight. She hopes to be able to get up a weekly picture so you can see how the pregnancy is progressing (as well as generate some empathetical support from all of you mommies). Here they are. The first one is at about 18 weeks and the second is from tonight. The 20 week mark. Halfway for a regular pregnancy. Doc says that he won't let her go longer than 37 so we're over the hill for sure at this point.

18 Weeks

20 Weeks
