8 pounds

Is anyone still reading this?? If so, please check in! It's just nice to know if this is getting read. :)



So, we've got a couple of big boys on our hands! I guess that's no surprise given the family history. I have almost 8 lbs of baby inside, no wonder I'm starting to get a little uncomfortable! Most people are delivering their one baby at this size, but my boys have probably 6 weeks of growing left to do before they make their appearance. Yikes, this could get interesting...



Yesterday we had an extensive ultrasound where they do a bunch of measuring to make sure everything looks good and the babies are growing at about the same rate. As far as we know everything looks fine! Interesting - at 20 weeks when we had an extensive ultrasound Baby B's feet were bigger, but now this time Baby A's feet are slightly longer. That's not something that would have gotten measured yesterday, but we mentioned something about it and thats when the technician said she remembered us from last time and so I think she had fun checking the feet for us. I'm a little worried about ending up with children that have big feet, and it's a legitimate concern - it can be very hard to find shoes that fit and don't cost a fortune!



Things are really moving along with the remodel. These photos of the bathroom are from a couple weeks ago, so things already look quite different. Thanks to my honey, my dad, and my brother the upstairs was ready for the painter to come this morning (I helped some too, but couldn't do as much as I would have liked - thankfully I have a very understanding husband who knows I can't do everything I normally would). After painting, the bathroom will need a few things done, but the 'major' work is complete. And the bedrooms will get carpeting after painting is complete. Things already look different (especially the bathroom!) but will really look different in the next 1-2 weeks! I'm looking forward to having the work completed so we can start putting things in the rooms and get organized and settled. The rest of the house is a bit of a disaster right now so we could have the upstairs cleared for all the work to be done.

Last weekend was another wonderful baby shower. This was given by my sister-in-law, Kara, and was for Krol friends and family. It was a nice time of visiting, playing games, and of course, eating good food! :) Again, I am so thankful for everyone's generosity. These boys will have everything they need, plus much more! With the way they seem to be growing, I hope they fit into the cute clothes that they are getting. :)



As always, thank you for your prayers for mine and the babies health. Everything has been going well and so please continue to pray that we stay healthy and they stay in as long as they need to!
