Twin boys and their secret language

knitting for my babies

My sister bought me lots of yarn for Christmas to knit two baby blankets for the sliders and I'm somewhat through the first one. I need to pick up the pace to finish this one and get another done in the next couple of months.






No pressure.

Showers and flowers

I finally got around to hooking my new camera up to the computer and although I still know very little about my camera, I now have a full week to learn all about it. The first thing was to download my first pics to the computer. Those pics are baby shower pics!


Shower yum yums!


Shower flowers

Thank you beautiful ladies!

I was 25 weeks in these photos and now I am 26 weeks. Since I am learning the new camera I can take some belly photos to show how big I'm getting. I went shopping last week with my sister and since I still have about 2 and 1/2 months left and all of the maternity clothes that I have now aren't really fitting, I bought large and XL sized maternity clothes for the last couple of months. I'm preparing to get huge.

New camera- yay!

I got a new camera which is good news but I have no idea how to use it which is bad news. I have spring break next week which will give me time to learn it and then I can upload lots of great photos!

Can't get enough

Pretty much my favorite pregnancy food is sugar snap peas.



Weird. Not avocados.

Pooh and the sliders

We went to dinner the other night with some friends who have two children and the dad was talking about how he read books to his son while in the womb and now he is a voracious reader...

Skip ahead to two nights later (after I went to Black and Read and bought 15 used books for 40 bucks-all the best books too!) and now my man reads to the sliders at night before we fall asleep. Yay!


We started with my all-time-favorite...


And then we read Nate's all-time-favorite:


Which is a surprisingly funny book. Both of us were laughing out loud at great passages from In Which a House Is Built at Pooh Corner for Eeyore such as:

The more he looked inside, the more piglet wasn't there

And

He looked up at his clock, which had stopped at five minutes to eleven some weeks ago.

And the part I just love:

The more it snows

(Tiddely pom)

The more it goes

(Tiddely pom)

The more it goes

(Tiddely pom)

On snowing.

And nobody knows

(Tiddely pom)

How cold my toes

(Tiddely pom)

How cold my toes

(Tiddely pom)

Are growing.

So wrong

But funny

Just so you know, I would never do this to my child (at least that's what I say now..)

Prenatal yoga

Prenatal yoga might be my most favorite pregnancy thing. It is similar to non-prenatal yoga but very different at the same time. I love it because it is mostly just sitting around and stretching. The hardest thing that we do in prenantal yoga is downward dog which is a resting pose in regular yoga so we are "resting" pretty much the whole time.



If any non-pregnant people came into our class, they would be thinking, "so people pay to sit around on the floor and move their legs a little bit?" but it feels so nice when everything else feels tight, sore, uncomfortable, and weird.
