Our Virginia Family Visits

Nana came and stayed with us for most of the month of July to help me out with Abby before the boys arrived and then Pap came to join us after the boys were born for a week. Poor Pap we just put him to work on fixing our hand rail, installing screen doors, and building the grandkids a sandbox. But most importantly they got to spend time with their grandkids. This week Tim, Kaye, and Dabb are here visiting us. We have had a great time with them and are sad that our time with them is coming to an end. I will post more pics later when I get a chance to download pics. Tuesday Abby will be starting preschool and Cam is headed back to work so I am going to have my hands full with the boys. Abby's preschool is part days so me and the boys will be going to get her at noon. Wish us luck! Here are some pics from our visit with our family.

Enjoying a nice evening outside!

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.
