30 weeks tomorrow...time for some updates...

Well I officially suck at this blogging thing. I haven't updated in about 6 weeks. I have lots of pictures to update, but I am putting them off until I find my USB cord for my camera. My sister was here helping me organize for my shower and I can't seem to find the correct one. 

We officially joined the family life. We brought a mini van. It is actually a nice van. We got a black Honda Odyssey. It is Josh's car!


 I do however have a few pictures to share this time. My sister came out to see me and throw me a shower. She was amazing! She helped me out so much. I love that she is so crafty. It is nice because where I am weak, she is strong and myself vice versa. Too bad she doesn't live closer.  We were going non stop all weekend. I could barely keep up with her. My poor ankles were non existent, they had officially turned into cankles that weekend.  The first day she was here, she got to go to my 28 week ultrasound. Here a few pictures were able to get of the boys.


Here are some face shots of Morrison.

Only one we got of Dylan.



The boys are doing good. They are measuring small, but everything is working great!  At 26 weeks they were 1 lb 8 oz and 1 lb 9 oz. Morrison is still going to give us some troubles. His placenta is sitting nice and low right over my cervix. It has split into two and is only connected by a vessel. I am going to ultrasounds every two weeks to check things out. My cervix was 3.5 cm at 26 weeks. My OB stated that if it shortens to 2cm she will put me on bed rest.  I went back to the ultrasound at 28 weeks. My cervix went up to 4.2 cm. It is looking like it is going to keep those boys in there, which we need them to do. They started practicing breathing, but those little lungs are not ready for the real world anytime soon. They gained weight. Morrison is up to 2 lbs 2 ozs and Dylan is 2 lbs. At the ultrasound, Morrison was breach and Dylan was head down. They had been that way since 20 weeks, but when I went to my OB at 29 weeks, they had flipped. It is amazing how you can feel them dancing around non stop, but I never felt them flip. So we go back to the ultrasound Thursday for the next update.


When my sister was she helped me sew the bedding for the cribs. I need to have Josh help me put of the curtain rod before I will take pictures. She made curtains for us too. The room is turning out great. I love it. The shower was great too. I will share some of the pictures and details soon.


My work peers are the sweetest. They threw me a shower at work. It a diaper and wipes drive. We stock up. I am truly blessed by their kindness. One of the directors is talented and made us a cake. The great thing about my co-workers is they knew it would important for Josh to be there too, so they invited him. I think it was mainly to carry everything out, but he didn't have the van keys with him.

Adorable and very very yummy cake...!


The packed up van and Josh's golf clubs. :)

  1. Umm...I didn't know diapers could disappear off the shelf so fast! Watch out!!! And Amazon Mom is definitely the way to go...we've done our pricing and so much cheaper. (oh and newborn and preemie diapers are pretty much the same size but newborn are usually cheaper.) We are so excited though everything is still going good! It was great seeing you the other day! I miss our chats!
