Playing together

Here are the girls both sitting up in their chairs. You are getting to see an Emma smile too, which is hard to get on camera right now.

Bath time

Here we are doing baths. Can you tell which baby this is? (Hint: It is harder without having the hair)

Playing in Our New Exasaucer

We had a great visit with John's sister and her family this weekend. The girls had their baptism and it went really well too. Here is a good picture of Emma playing in the new saucer toy that someone from John's work let us borrow.

Playing

Today we have been busy playing with grandma Cheryl. Emma likes to sit in her blue chair and Charlotte was playing with her toy phone.

Good morning

We have been playing together under our play gym.

Love,
Charlotte and Emma

Sweet Charlotte

On July 13th I got a new iPhone.  With this technology I started taking photos of my sweet babies everyday and sending them to my parents.  This was the first one.

Charlotte, July 13th, four and a half months old.

I haven't wanted to whine

It has been a while since my last post, mainly because I was afraid that all I would do is whine, which is not the intention of my blog, or really what I imagine anyone wants to read.  I will leave it at the fact that being almost 36 weeks pregnant with twins can be pretty uncomfortable.  I won't go into the details, but really, no one tells you that every joint in your body will start to ache.  But we have made it to almost 36 weeks, how amazing!  What a journey to get here, I really didn't know for a long time if it was even possible.

The babies are doing great.  We are now in the throws of birth plans and figuring out how all of this is going to work.  My doctor is going to take out the stitches that he put in so long ago on the 28th of February, just 10 days away!  I think that he is pretty sure I will go into labor then, but it could take a few days.  I feel nervous and apprehensive and scared, but also excited and ready for these girls to make their arrival.  We are continuing to get prepared, organizing the house and getting errands out the way so we don't have to worry about them later.  I think both my husband and I feel a little shocked that the time is finally arriving and wonder about how our lives will change and what we have gotten ourselves into.  Thank goodness we have each other, as well as the support of our families.

I promise that I will do better about keeping things updated and try to get info on here as soon as I can about their arrival.  Look for baby pictures in the next couple of weeks, how exciting!
