Baby Pics

Just stuff...

I am so excited to be getting closer to the delivery date. I can't wait! Only 5 more days to go. I am feeling so miserable. It hurts to be on my feet or walk around and worst of all is going up the stairs. Plus, the kids want me to hold them and there's no room in my lap. I look forward to the physical relief of having the baby. I know there will be more stuff to do, but it is so nice to get your body back. Other than that...I feel great!

Porter and Madison are getting better every day. They are learning to speak more and they love watching Signing Time. I started recording it so they can watch it whenever they want. Madison especially loves learning signs. I am so impressed by how much they can pick up. They have both taken to tantrums occassionally. We have started putting them in their room when they throw one. They are very happy little children. They're so fun to have around. Porter will run through a room, point at me, and say, "Wuv you!" He is still a little cuddle bug that likes to be held, loved on, kissed, and cuddled. Madison is much more pragmatic. She kisses when she feels like it and doesn't always like me to hold her.

They both get very excited when Dad gets home. Brant is so good with them. They love him to death. Even though he is more strict than I am, he is their favorite playmate. Porter always asks him, "Want to fight!" And then, they wrestle and play fight.

Twin Pics

We took the kids in for their first dentist appointment today. I was so glad that they did not have any cavities--or signs of enamel rot! The dentist said, "Mothers of twins always seem to take such good care of their kids teeth." I was kind of laughing thinking I haven't done that well--it must just be good genes. They were both really good during their checkups. Madison got a little irritated at the end.

Tomorrow is Brant's birthday so the kids are giving him photos of themselves for their gift. I am using the photos above. I am going to put touch them up in Photoshop and make them look a little more professional.

Viewing Titanic Exhibit

Brant took me to view the Titanic Exhibit for a Mother's Day date. It was so cool. I loved it. They had alot of the stuff on display, which of course was antiques. I enjoyed looking at everything and reading about all of the people and their lives. It was like studying genealogy. They gave us each a ticket before we boarded the ship. We had the names of actual passengers who sailed on the Titanic. It gave a brief history of their life and why they were on the Titanic. Also, if they were 1st class, 2nd, 3rd, etc. At the end of the tour, you found out if you lived or died. It was very interesting.

Only 12 days left...

I am counting down the days. We have scheduled the delivery for May 21st at 11 am. I am so ready! It will be very fun to have him outside of my belly as opposed to inside! I am experiencing all of the last month symptoms and cannot wait!

Last night Rhonda took all of her daughters and me to Claim Jumper. It was really fun to get out although it is a pain to have to move around being this pregnant. The food was really good. The guys all stayed home and tended kids. Next week is Father's and Sons so they will all be gone for the weekend. Brant is going to take Porter. I think they'll have a lot of fun.
