July update so far

We had a great 4th of July here in Ester. We did what we have been doing for years, watch or be in the Ester Parade and join in the picnic at the Ester Community Park. It was a relaxing day and Abby had a blast hanging out with her little friend Emily. Most of these pics are from July 3rd, we had playgroup at the park and one of the ladies, Anne Jenkins, had a camera and took some pictures of Abby and I. So not much going on here until a week from tomorrow when I will have my c-section and our little boys enter our lives. It is going to be a big change for us but we look forward to it. We will post pics as soon as possible. I have a feeling I won't have time to be on the computer a lot once they arrive! Hope this finds everyone well.

Our last 4th of July as a family of three!

30 more days - 34 weeks

So I have 30 more days until the scheduled C-section! I am pretty uncomfortable but I want them to grow big and strong so I'm not ready for them to arrive yet. We have a lot we need to get done before their arrival. I have pretty much grown out of all my maternity clothes but I refuse to buy any more. I have been wearing a lot of sweat pants and large shirts and a bella band to cover my belly if the pants don't stay up or if my shirt comes up:) So here is a picture of the big ol belly.

Fathers Day 2009

I think Cam really enjoyed his day out fishing with his little red headed cutie today. His friend Reed from work took them out fishing for the day. So not only did Abby get to go fishing with dad she got to hang out with two older girls, which is always exciting to her. When she got home she told me all about the fish they caught. Our friend Theresa went on the day long adventure and took a lot of pictures from what I'm told so when ever I get some copies from her I will post them. Wish I could have joined them but I didn't think it would be such a good idea being out on a boat being 8 months pregnant with twins.

61 days and counting

61 days until my scheduled c-section which makes me 30 weeks pregnant today!!! Today has been a great day for me. This is the first time in a long time that I have spent most of the day by myself and just resting. My dad came and got Abby yesterday after work and my mom will be bringing her home some time this afternoon. I seem to be getting tired pretty quick now and trying to keep up with a 3 year old is becoming challenging. So here is a picture my mom took this past Tuesday (29 weeks 5 days)

Silly Abby and Catch up

So I haven't posted in a while so here are several pics of Abby being the silly girl she is and one of me in my "blueberry dress"(Cam and Abby call me blueberry mama because my belly looks so huge in it, maybe because it is:)) I found out at a recent appointment that the boys will be delivered by c-section at 10am on July 21st unless they decide to come earlier. I also found out that I am a little iron deficient so now I am taking yucky iron pills, but everything else was good!

We had an awesome Mothers Day yesterday and I feel so blessed to have the family and friends that I do. We had friends come over for brunch and had the guys cook for us. Right after we got done eating the power went out, but that didn't stop the fun:) Some guy cut down a tree on the power line behind our house. It took GVEA 6 hours to get the power back on. He must have really messed it up because they were out there the whole time and had to bring a heavy equipment up to help repair it. So we got to try our generator out and it was great having so we could keep the refrigerator cold and the pump going so we could flush the potty!

So here are some pics from the past month.

Abby and Chase, Baby Update

While I was at an ultrasound yesterday Abby went and spent time with her good buddy Chase Boy. It was his 1st Birthday so Abby brought him a gift and helped Jo make him a birthday cake. Jo gave Abby the beater to lick but she decided Chase boy needed it more! So when I got there we put our party hats on and sang Happy Birthday to Chase and ate some cake. Even Chase got a piece. So below are some pics that Bob and Jo sent to us of the exciting day Abby had and another picture from last Friday. Jo does such a good job at wearing Abby out we had no problem with bedtime last night.

So we got to see the boys again and they are still definitely boys. The nurse asked the doctor at some point if he verified that the sex of both babies is still boys and he said "oh yeah definitely". Good thing because I have started to get rid of all the clothes we have. With the measurements they can get approximate weight and they believe Baby "A" is 1lb 10 oz and Baby "B" is 1lb 9 oz. From the measurements it appears Baby "A" is going to be longer than Baby "B" and they both have big heads! Thank goodness I'm having a c-section! I don't have any ultrasound pics to post, at this point it is getting hard to take pictures and actually tell what you are looking at. And no belly pics right now I will work on that. As of yesterday I am 25 weeks 4 days and everything seems to be going good.

Abby also started swim lessons today and she did awesome for her first time. She even attempted to put her face under water. If you know Abby she can't stand having water in her face. I will have to remember to bring a camera sometime to take pics.

Abby Turns 3

This past Sunday we celebrated Abby's 3rd birthday. She had a blast, it was a little crazy we had 14 kids there ranging in age from 1 to 7! But all that matters is she had fun:) We had it at the Fire Station because I didn't want that many kiddo's in the house:) Also yesterday we went and got her 3 year old pics done at sears. She did awsome and the photos came out great. In one of the pics is her with my pregnant belly. I think I'm 23 weeks pregnant. I keep losing track, it must be my pregnancy mind. I can't seem to remember anything these days.

Even Chase boy showed up for the party! Abby thought that was pretty special

My mom wanted to take some pictures of her in this bag with her ballons. They turned out pretty cute.

Listening while we sing Happy Birthday to her!

Abby with the big bump, like I said I think I am 23 weeks pregnant.

Just a cute fun picture.

What a big girl!

Abby and the big 3!
