Well it's official! The shower is going to be on March 28, 2009, hopefully at the neighborhood clubhouse. We will know for sure if that will be the location in a few days. Our theme will be ocean/underwater and Candace is planning lots of fun stuff. It just so happens that the shower will take place the same time Jessica and Eli are coming for their visit!!! I can't wait to see them. Nana is also going to come in and be able to enjoy the shower as well!! Nana is going to stay at Gammaw and Pappaw's house so at least she'll get some sleep!
Nana and Zeda got the boys stroller so now if Sawyer and Finn make a surprise appearance in the next few weeks, we're ready for them except for swings and diapers! Our pattern for the car seat and stroller 
are: Melbourne by Graco

I found this ad in one of the baby magazines and flipped over it! These little things were created by a mom/md for her daughter and make all the sense in the world to me. They are called Pacimals and they are a new "twist" on pacifiers. They are huggable pacifiers. The website is http://www.pacimals.com/ - They have a sweet little video on their site that will explain just exactly what these things are. I let Ava and Jaylen pick out which ones they liked the best.
Ava picked out Callie the cat:
And Jaylen picked out Macey the Mouse:
Oh yea - I forgot to post a picture of the Halloween costumes - you all know how much I LOVE/OBSESS over Halloween - I found these little costumes awhile ago and couldn't resist!
Let's see, what can I blab about.......I've been sick with a cold for the last few days. My throat has been hurting, really badly at night which is why it is 5:00 a.m. and I can't sleep so I thought I'd post.
I don't go back to the dr. until 3/3 so I won't have much to report on the boys between now and then. I did however have one heck of a contraction today! Peter, the girls and myself went to the grocery store for a little over an hour and on our way home I started feeling really queasy. When we got home, I got out of the car, started up the steps and it hit......I couldn't straighten up for a few minutes. Everything just got really super tight and kinda took my breath away. Since I've never even experienced braxton hicks contractions before, this was a little shock. I hunched over, made it to the bed, got on all fours and just started rocking back and forth. After a few minutes I felt the pressure and tightness subsiding but it lingered for just a bit. Needless to say, I didn't enjoy it. I guess it's just a sign of things to come and a reminder that with this pregnancy, I have to take it super easy. I really don't want to end up on bedrest again BUT - I did share with Peter that the only time I am truly comfortable is when I am in my recliner (thanks gammaw and pappaw!!!!) or when I am laying down. I feel so badly that I can't help out more. Peter has been a CHAMP throughout the whole thing. He made a kick a** dinner last night. We had Paula Dean's crabcakes (mom made them for Valentine's Day and we LOVED them), beef stew and a Caesar salad with the dressing he made from scratch. OMG the whole thing was YUMMY!!! Maybe he should have been a chef! All I know is that I am so lucky! He's even stopped making brownies and chocolate cake since I can't have any. It's just tooo tempting when that stuff is sitting right in front of my face.
Ummmm, what else.....I've been reading a ton and finish a book in about a day and 1/2. I am stuck on Laurell K. Hamilton's books - you know, vampires, werewolves, creepy stuff. I am just waiting to see if Stephanie Meyer - author of the Twilight Series will follow up with another book.
Alright - gonna get off of here - I'll keep you all posted!
