5 more weeks and counting

We had our 32 week and 4 day ultrasound yesterday and everything looks wonderful! Ari was measuring in at approximately 4.5 lbs and Noah was right at 4 lbs. They're gaining about 1/2 lb a week! They're both almost head down as well...it would be fantastic to NOT have a cesarean. I am continuing to keep my fingers crossed! It's hard to believe that they'll both be here in just about one month. We can't wait to finally meet them!

Yesterday was my last day of work. As exciting as it may sound to go on bed rest, it kind of hits you that it won't really be so great when the time comes. I thought I'd be okay yesterday, but got a little teary several times. As much as I complain about going to work, I truly love what I do and the kiddos that I work with! They drive me crazy, but I miss them already! I know that the new long-term sub will be just fine with them. It's hard for me to give up control. I'm sure that once the Twinkies finally arrive I will no longer worry about not working!

Showered with Love

We had our first baby shower yesterday and it was completely and totally breathtaking! A HUGE thank you to my sister and brother-in-law for all of their hard work and thoughtfulness in putting everything together. Also a huge thank you to everyone for coming! The amount of gifts that we received was truly overwhelming! Mark and I are very lucky to have all of you in our lives.

Ta-Da!

Our cool dachshund lamp from Olozoo.

Don't you love the chair??? Our glider hasn't come in yet.

This bedding from Nurseryworks is appropriately called "Mac n Cheese!"



The Twinkies' room is almost finished! Cribs are up, bedding's in, now we just need a little child friendly decor...and our glider. I totally love it! Thank you, baby!

But wait, there's more...

It drives me crazy that for some reason I can only post five pictures per post. Here are some more pictures of the almost completed nursery. : )

Time's a tickin'

We joke about how hubby needs new power tools for every project. These are just a selection of tools used for this one. : )


This is the handy-paint work of Auntie N and Uncle M. What a great job they did! THANK YOU!!!



With 8 days left until our shower, hubby has been working his heart out on the Twinkies' room! And what an incredible job he has done! It's still not complete, but we're so much further ahead than from where we started. Auntie N and Uncle M came over with the boys last night to help. They were able to start and finish painting the bathroom. Even the boys pitched in! A HUGE THANK YOU TO ALL OF YOU, FROM ALL OF US!!!!!

Under the Sea

These are the wall stickers that I bought from Olozoo in John's Creek. We're going to use them in the Twinkies' bathroom. Both bathroom and bedroom are progressing. New pictures up soon!
