The Most Random Post Ever...Maybe

Our internet has been down for about 24 hours.  I've felt totally disconnected from the world! Maybe because I had time yesterday during Addie's nap to post some pictures and couldn't. Who knows...but there's no excuse! :)

Last week, Addie ended up with her first yucky throw-up stomach bug. Yuck and not fun! She slept and cuddled and slept and cuddled all day Monday and Tuesday. As much as I didn't want her sick, it was such a sweet time with her! I was so thankful we could do just that...cuddle and sleep!

oh...and watch videos! (way blurry...sorry). She loved cuddling with her giraffe from Kat Kat!

This past weekend was crazy. I got told to "rest and stay off my feet" two days before such a fun weekend. My mom really wanted me to just cut something out, but instead, Paul came with us to both birthday parties and chased Addie the whole time! Is he a great or what?

There was a Mother's of Multiples sale here in Montgomery Saturday morning. I hate to say it, but it didn't touch the one in Birmingham. That's ok. I found 2 cute outfits! :)

Then we had Anna Beth's birthday party in Wetumpka at the Sonshine Park. It was a gorgeous day!

This is a huge playground, and Paul literally followed her around the whole time so I could get a few pictures and then go sit down!

Anna Beth (birthday girl) and Addie swinging! Their birthdays are only a few days apart!

And look at this darling cake! Anna Beth's mommy took a picture to Publix, and this is what they made! Adorable!

While Addie and Paul stayed at Anna Beth's party, I ran drove down the road to Rena's shower. Our 40 weeks due dates are only a week apart, but she'll have a scheduled c-section and who knows when the twins will show up.  No matter what, our girls will be about a month or less apart! And Addie and Rena's son Jace are about 6 weeks apart!

Here are the 3 expectant mother's at the shower: me (2 days shy of 33 weeks*), Rena (32 weeks) , and Rena's friend (who will deliver next week!).

Then on Sunday we had Lucas' 2nd birthday party! It was another gorgeous day, even though rain was predicted! We played outside the whole time! I forgot my camera, but Anna took these for us!

Addie had a blast on this powered 4 wheeler (in her smocked dress)!

She was so excited that Lucas had so many balls to play with!

Then there was church on Sunday and life group at our house Sunday night. Neal and Jennifer surprised us with a shower and this gorgeous cake! Jennifer is an amazing cake decorator! Check out that bow!

Addie was so sweet with baby Toni, Neal and Jennifer's little foster baby. She loved giving Toni her paci (and taking it back)!

(This was even after our church had a huge baby shower for us last Sunday! I left my memory card at home and couldnt take any pictures...but I figured I'd mention it! We got some wonderful gifts and so many diapers and wipes! Praise God!)

What a fun weekend! I'm so thankful for my sweet husband! He was such a trooper, never complaining once about all the places we went and all the time he had to spend chasing Addie. Usually we do it together, but he was on his own! He's been fabulous at home, even after working all day, cooking dinner and doing dishes. I am so thankful he's so committed to our family and to Addie.

*Now, if you made it to the end of this post, you're a dedicated reader! I intended to take a 32 week belly picture but never did. So here I am 33 weeks + 2 days. What's amazing to me is the difference in how high I was carrying the girls at 32 weeks 5 days (see picture from Rena's shower) vs 33 weeks 2 days! I stood up Monday night and all Paul could say was, "Whoa! Look at how low you are!" Then Addie's teachers said the same thing when I took her to school Tuesday! I could definitely tell because I can finally BREATHE! So I'm anxious to see what the doctor says today at my appointment today!!!

  1. Praying, praying, praying for your appointment today. 33 weeks is a HUGE milestone, and now it is in your rearview mirror! You are rocking this twin pregnancy, and I could not be more thrilled for you. Can't wait to see these sweet girls in just a few weeks! Hang in there, mama :)

  2. I have no idea how you did all that this weekend with a 2 year old and while very pregnant with twins. I got tired just reading about it. :-) You are awesome and we are praying for you in these last few weeks.
