30 weeks...A shower to remember!

This weekend many of my dearest friends threw me the most amazing baby shower I could have ever dreamed of! Absolutely STUNNING!

Every detail was thought of, and it didn't go unnoticed. A beautiful array of delicate, tasty mini sandwiches, a plethora of tempting salads, and mini iced baby themed cookies were placed on the beautifully decorated tables for each guest to take home. We ate on beautiful china while listening to soft music in the background. The weather couldn't have been more beautiful, and Kathleen's backyard was the perfect romantic setting for a summertime shower.

The shower couldn't have been more perfect. Period.

I always knew I had some amazingly talented and awesome friends....but this shower just proved it even more.

Thank you to those who made the evening a special one (you know who you are!), I know a lot of work and effort went into the preparations and I can't express enough how much it means to me.

Thank you to all who attended, having you there made the evening extra special! Thank you for the wonderful and tender gifts, they will be cherished always.

I will let the pictures below speak for themselves. Enjoy!

28 weeks...Hello 3rd Trimester!

Here is a picture of our daughter's profile we got at our 27 week growth scan at the hospital. The babies looked as cute as ever, all snuggled up in my womb.

In the picture below, on the left you can see our daughters head, with our sons feet right there in her face!



The picture below was taken by accident by the doc....any guesses on what it is? I'll give you a hint, there's two of them.



So the doctor said our daughter is about 2 lbs 12 ounces....almost 3 lbs! She said she is growing great, and everything looks good! I even started feeling her little hick-ups last week!

Our little sons heartbeat is as strong as ever, and moves and kicks like normal.

I found out last week that I have gestational diabetes. Bummer! Apparently it is very normal in multiple pregnancies, and will likely leave after delivery. It means I have to watch my blood sugar levels, and get more exercise. If I can control it with diet and exercise alone, then meds won't be necessary. I hope I don't have to use meds, because it can create more problems for the babies down the road. I'm supposed to report my sugar levels to the doctor once a week....so that means I can't cheat on my diet! Well, OK, maybe I can have a piece of cake at my shower :)

So I'm super excited that this Friday is my last day at work! FINALLY! I'll now be able to enjoy maternity leave and take care of some things at home; the nursery, find a pediatrician (anyone have any recommendations?), think of more baby names, etc. etc. I am really looking forward to it!

Thanks for reading everyone!
