happy turkey day!!

happy thanksgiving everyone!! so much has happened it seems in the past couple of weeks. perhaps it's easiest to just list one by one...
  • dawn came to visit from australia - she came and stayed with us for a few days and it was so great to see her. she looks fabulous and is getting married in australia next november! it was a short visit, but we managed to cram quite a bit in which was good fun!




  • work threw me an amazing baby shower last friday, the 21st - i love my co-workers...everyone is so sweet and generous. not only did they spoil us rotten with presents (our mdx had both rows of seats down and it was filled to the brim!), but they wanted to start a little library for the twins, so books out the wazoo...such a fun idea! i'll post pictures as soon as i get them.

  • kitchen and bath remodel - not sure this is the most brilliant idea that jason and i have had to date, but we've just begun some work on the house. we've been wanting to do this for quite some time, but finally just got everything finalized. we're having the tile, countertops and backsplash in the kitchen replaced and then the counters, shower and tub area done in the master bath. they're supposed to be done by the 15th of december, so let's hope they meet their deliverable and these babies don't come early!!

  • 32 week appt - we went for a checkup yesterday and the dr. swaim has officially told me that i am to quit exercising and to take it easy...ouch! :( my cervix has thinned, although still completely closed, but she does not want to take any chances. she hasn't put me on bedrest, but just wants me to take it easy. we go back next friday to take a test which can tell us if i will deliver in the next two weeks (fetal fibronectin)...that will be interesting! let's just hope they don't decide to come before then! otherwise, i still feel great, so this no exercise and taking it easy bit is going to be tough! 32 week belly pic...

other than that, we made our annual trip to the renaissance festival last week, went to see our friends allison and sean who just had their sweet baby cate a few weeks ago which definitely made our babies upcoming arrivals that much more real and supermom kristyna just delivered leighton last week! babies everywhere...so exciting, but so scary at the same time!! and last but not least, janice just got in from the uk last night, so had dinner with her last night and will be fun catching up with her through sunday.

sorry to blab for so long, but lots of updates! btw...a lot of you aren't so much fun not guessing an arrival date! (although i know you're reading these posts!)

Was so great to see yall the other night -- hopefully we didn't scare yall too much! I never posted a guess for the arrival date, so I am going with one on Dec. 31 and one on Jan. 1. I know it's a long shot, but wouldn't that be fun?!!

I'm going to guess Dec. 20th. It's the first date that popped in my head. BTW - doesn't someone have a b-day this week???......
