We Made It!!!

We did it! We are officially 35 Weeks TODAY! WHEW!

I can't believe how fast its gone or the fact that our two little angels could arrive ANY DAY NOW! We've had ultrasounds done almost weekly throughout the entire pregnancy but I can't wait till I don't have to wait a week between seeing those little faces!

Wyatt has been camera shy for about 2 months now so we haven't ever had a good picture of his face. Hayden was very cooperative for the first time back in March when all the grandparents where with us and we were able to get a 3D image of him. He's been in hiding ever since but this past week I finally got to see him again.

I wonder what color hair & eyes they will have? How much alike will they look? Are they really going to weigh what the ultrasound suggests? How tall will they be? And will their personalities follow who they were named after or did we get that totally wrong???

Now I've added to the mix what day will they be born on and who's birthday will they share???

We were sitting in the doctors office last week and Jonathan was reading an article on the Dos & Don'ts of 1st Birthday Parties. I was looking at the cool little toys I want to get them down the road. My favorite was the grill set that was 'just like dads' complete with the little foods to put on it. :)

How long will it before before we get to the point where one wants a Pirate Party & the other a Super Hero Party???  They aren't even here yet and its already flying by!!!!

Mothers Day

Yesterday was my very first Mothers Day. I wasn't really sure if I was officially considered a "mother" since the boys aren't here yet but had a great day none the less.

I woke up to the little kicks & jabs of both boys playing early in the morning. Got cards from the boys, Maggie, & Jonathan. And then the BIG surprise! And I do mean surprise! DIAMOND EARRINGS!!!!!

My husband, ever so sweet, said he thought I deserved something really special this year after all I'd been through. But it wasn't just me. He's been with me the entire way and I couldn't have done any of it without him. I've been thinking for weeks about how special Fathers Day is going to be for him this year. He is going to be such an amazing dad!

He made a wonderful brunch and then we laid around on the couch all day watching movies.

I almost thought I was going to become "official" on Mothers Day after I had about 3 hours of contractions. But, Jonathan had a talk with the boys that their grandparents would really like to be here to see them so about 2 hours later they finally stopped and let me go to bed.

We'll be 35 Weeks tomorrow which was the goal date so I feel really good about where they are now. But Chris & Darla better be on that plane Thursday afternoon 'cause I don't know that we are going to make to see 36! :)
