Beach Trip and 28 weeks!

Since it is that time of year again we headed to the beach (Natalie being 7 months pregnant wasn't stopping us)!! We loaded up on Friday and drove to Port A where we met up with 12 friends for a fun filled weekend in a beach house! The weekend was filled with sun, beach volleyball, corn hole, jelly fish :/, more maternity pictures taken by Kendl, food, drinks, and lots of catching up with good friends! Natalie still enjoyed all of it and was able to hang with everyone :)

Baby stuff:

We are 28 weeks and going strong! Natalie is having a little more trouble sleeping due to the carpal tunnel that has set in. It is actually really uncomfortable throughout the day now as well so we are hoping the Doc can help us with that soon. Besides that the babies are moving a lot and and she is, as you can see from the pictures getting bigger and bigger. We have one more birthing class left and then we will have completed 3 educational classes to prepare us! We have learned a lot and are very happy we took advantage of them. We toured the hospital last week so we have a better idea of what to expect.  The nursery is coming along slowly but surely. I took some before pictures and some "in the process" pictures:

one crib is complete!!

We go to the doctor tomorrow (5-25-11) for another thorough ultrasound and should be getting some more pictures of the girls so we will be updating you all very soon! We love you all!!

Trip to Dallas!!

This past weekend we made a trip to Dallas for Amalie's (Michael's sister) confirmation to which Natalie a sponsor :) We arrived at Alan and Louann's on Friday for sandwiches with family before mass, then headed to the church to watch our sister make the next step in her Catholic journey :) The ceremony was wonderful and we were so grateful to be a part of it!! Afterward we headed to an Italian restaurant to continue the celebration with family and friends :) (pictures compliments of Alan Motl):

Baby news:   

As you can tell from the photos Natalie is getting big which means the babies are too! The books say that at 25 weeks your baby should weigh 2 lbs so we are thinking they are a bit smaller since there are two. Natalie is still feeling good but moving slower and sleeping a little less. The girls on the other hand are doing back flips (or fighting for space like the two to the left). Natalie says she doesn't know when they sleep because they are constantly moving. Amalie and Mary got to the feel them too when we were visiting this weekend :) We have also started taking classes in preparation for birth and the many other joys of bringing baby(ies) home. We will be attending classes every Wednesday and Thursday this month in hopes that they teach us everything we need to know ;) We also go to the Doctor this Thursday (5-12-11). Natalie will have a glucose test and we will get to see where the girls are hanging out these days. We will update you all after Thursday! Keep the prayers coming :)

HAPPY late MOTHER'S DAY to all you wonderful mothers
