30 weeks

Pregnant that is! With twins. Can't believe it. They will be here in 7 weeks max! We are getting super excited but I'm feeling overwhelmed to say the least. Lots to be done still and unfortunately, I don't really feel like doing any of it. The nursery is almost finished and I'm in love with it. However, the baby laundry hasn't even begun and let me say, there is a lot for two babies!
I had my first hospital admission this weekend and thankfully everything turned out ok. We are crossing fingers and toes that these little ones stay put until 36 weeks and come no sooner!

I'm feeling really big lately, with swollen feet and hands. The rings have finally come off until after delivery and that's fine with me. They were feeling SO tight!

I feel like I got my nesting done early. I sewed a lot of burp cloths and bibs for the babies and got most of the nursery finished early. The only thing I'm waiting on is the last etsy order for the cribs. It's taking 2 months!!

Here are some random pictures and a few bump pics:)











A little bit if the sewing I did. I ended up with over 50 burp cloths! Overboard you think? I made a few of them on prefold r&f diapers and the rest I just took fabric and backed with Chenille. And I loooove them! Here's the link I used. http://www.howdoesshe.com/gorgeous-designer-baby-burp-cloths/







My first sewing experience with minky dot. Not easy!






These are the twins' crib blankets. I did not make these. Another Etsy purchase!







Baby boy Holden


Baby girl Tess


A wreath my friend made for one of my showers! Looooove it!




Just a cute hospital outfit. I had the hats made on etsy from the seller crafty cheetah found here. https://www.etsy.com/shop/craftycheetah





My friend Sarah made these calligraphy prints for me and I had them framed. They are just perfect.


Think baby girl has a few bows?



That's all for now! I'm hoping to get a little caught up on blogging before our new family members arrive!

Arkansas August 2013

At the end of July, Samuel and I headed to AR for a nice, long 2 week visit! We had a great time! It was pretty much my last time to travel before my pregnancy progressed past 20 weeks.



My best friend Holly came up while we were there and we had such a great visit! Here she is letting Samuel sit in her lap and drive on the dirt road!! He was SO thrilled considering mom told him "no" to that earlier.


I introduced him to the Wizard of Oz!


We enjoyed the Grape Festival which I haven't been to in years! It was fun!






We visited Papa Chuck at work one day and Samuel got to ride the forklift. To say he was happy would be a huge understatement.


Just playing in Walmart


I hit the 17 week mark while we were there!


Lunch with my sweet nieces...US pizza of course!









My family gave me a wonderful SURPRISE shower while we were there and it was lovely. Such a great time! These babies were spoiled very early on:)











We got to fish in the pond. Samuel tried but never caught a fish. Next time!








Loved the little fresh market stand my grandmas house. My fav!


Grandma and Papa surprised Samuel and the grand kids with this battery operated tractor and it was a huge hit! He loved it!



He's riding here in his pj's because he was just too excited to change.


Swimming in the cousins pool!


On the plane headed home:( A sad day but such a great trip!


Home at last!!
