Shower day

Lindsay konked out about 7:30 after we ate.  The shower is of course the reason she nodded off so early.

Hope you enjoy the video, just some of the highlights from the very end.

We also want to thank everyone very much for all of the great gifts. We went out and bought both car seats with the gift cards we got at the shower.

Kicks

So I work strange hours.  I usually don't get home from work until about 11pm every night. I try to go to bed quietly so I don't wake up my pregnant wife, but I rarely succeed.  Last night I woke up everybody. The twins were still until about 10 minutes after I turned off the TV.  After that though, it was either a wrestling match or some sort of Tai Kwan Do exhibition.

Today Lindsay has the day off to get ready for shower number 2 tomorrow.  I know she's very excited to see everyone tomorrow.

Also, my new video camera is supposed to arrive today, so look out for some video posts shortly.

Love Day

While we aren't much of a lovey dovey couple, we did use this weekend as an excuse to have a nice date night. It was actually my perfect idea of a date night - early dinner at Garozzo's, back home and in PJ's in time to watch the KU Basketball game at 7. I even stayed awake through the entire game!

We also finished another nursery to-do by building some shelves in the cubby area behind the door of the nursery (see the picture to explain, it sounds confusing). With just a small closet in the room, I'm excited to have a place to store extra diapers, toys, etc. We continue to add to the collection of diapers (all sizes) as we find good deals!


We also celebrated Valentine's again this evening with regular Sunday dinner at my parents house. Mimi continues to spoil these babies with clothes! We were also celebrating that Kelsey and Justin have sold their house and bought a new one since last week! Pending inspections etc, moving day is in just under a month and we are looking forward to seeing it!

Happy Valentines Day to everyone! Have a great week!

Baby Shower #1

We had an fantastic weekend because it was my first baby shower! This shower was hosted by 3 of my Chi O girls, and was amazing! I am so lucky to have a great group of girl friends in KC, and I can't wait for more of them to have babies! Plus, we also had great friends in town from Colorado for the weekend. This may be the first year in awhile that we don't make it out to Colorado, so it was great to see them. These babies are so blessed with all of the gifts they have received. I feel like it gets more real each week! Not the greatest pics of me, but hey, it's what I have:

At least those pictures give you a good picture of my growing belly! Also proud to say I parked in my first "reserverd for expectant mothers" parking spot this weekend. Justin took a picture, of course, to preserve the memory! I suppose this is why Best Buy got our business that day....

We had another ultrasound last week and everything looks great! The babies are 1 lb 6 oz and 1 lb 7 oz (we don't remember which one is which). It is getting pretty crowded in there, so it's much harder for me to tell who is kicking me!

Thanks for reading!
