Baby Shower #3

This past week was our third and final baby shower. It was so great to see so many work friends and family members! Thank you so much to my Aunt Ruth and my sister-in-law Rachel for a beautiful shower! Here are some pictures for you to enjoy!
Check out this beautiful cake! Our little monkeys will be here before we know it!


My special helper for the day, Ellie. She did a great job helping me unwrap the presents and clean up afterwards. Isn't she adorable?


My Aunt Linda, Aunt Ruth and Cousin Jenny! Thanks Ladies for a great day!


This is a diaper bag that my Aunt Linda made! She makes custom bags and this is perfect!! It has double the pockets for my boys!


I just love this picture! Ellie had so much fun helping me unwrap the presents. Her personality really started to show as the day went on. She made a comment on Saturday too that she couldn't wait until the babies were out of my tummy so that she could play with them! I can't wait to see how she plays with the boys!

Baby update: We are 30 weeks!! We went to the doctor last week and I am measuring about the size of someone who is 36 weeks pregnant. The good news is that the boys are measuring much closer to where they should be. About 4 weeks ago, they were measuring barely 30 percentile and I was a little worried. This past week we had one at 38 percentile and another at 42! So, they are catching up with their growth! Each baby was weighing in at about 2 lbs 13 oz. So, they are a little small, but not by much!

Mommy update: The bigger I get, the more uncomfortable I get. We have been told that we can't travel anymore until after the babies come. So, Thanksgiving and Christmas will be local this year. Everything else seems to be progressing well. We just are keeping an eye on how long I stand up and how much rest I get. My ankles are swelling pretty bad, but if I limit my activity I can keep them under control at least.

I did experience another first this week too! Emory woke me up on Saturday morning with the hiccups! It was adorable! I started laughing and Chris woke up to feel for himself and then he was laughing too. It was really cute. I can't wait for many more firsts!
