The Final Count Down

So we are dwindling down the days until Michaelangelo Alexander and Ellie Grace are here with mommy and daddy. We are officially 4 weeks and 5 days away it's so unreal that my babies are almost here. We've been having baby showers and preparing for their arrival that the last few weeks just seem like a blur. I don't remember much of anything lately just knowing that in a month I'll have 20 toes and 20 fingers to kiss and squeeze and 2 giant hearts to fill with love for the rest of their lives. Lots of love for the entire family to fill. I realized Saturday after the baby shower that I really need to invest in a camera because there are so many things I'm going to want to take pictures of.  Life moments that their aunts and uncles, grandparents and even me or their daddy might miss that needs to be documented for future references. All I know is that people keep asking if we are ready and I always reply with a yes and a smile but I'm realizing the closer we get I'm ready but I'm not. I'm not ready to ridiculed by other mothers for mistakes that may be made I'm a new momma but I have to learn from the mistakes I make in order to learn the right ways. I'm not ready for people to ask if they can hold my precious children unless they are family.  I'm not ready for other mothers to look at me in the grocery store and ask when was the last time I had any sleep. I am however ready to see seth hold his son and daughter for the first time. I am ready to see all our families cry when they hold them and say congratulations to seth and I. And I am ever more ready to bring them home and know that they don't have to stay away from me unless they are staying with family.

Hello old friend

So I know I haven't blogged in awhile so I guess I have some catching up to do. We went February 5th for our anatomy scan to see how these little angels were doing and to see how their organs were growing boy I never thought I could see such long legs and fingers. Both Michaelangelo Alexander and Ellie Grace were doing great no abnormalities or anything. Then February 9th we went for the glucose levels and passed with flying colors woo hoo then we started doing two week appointments to check their growth they have been doing so wonderful.  I've been so busy worrying about everything that I need to be doing to make sure the house is prepared for their arrival. Fast forward to March 26th and we had to make a emergency run to labor and delivery because we thought they were trying to make their appearance. After nearly 4 hours we found that it was just a bladder infection.  We were told to drink plenty of water and stay off my feet and we may make it to term we only have 6 weeks and 5 days left till they get here. We have baby showers scheduled for April 10th, 11th, and the 19th I can't wait to be with all my family and friends as we celebrate this glorious occasion.  
Isn't this just the cutest invitation ever I love my sister in - law she is so creative. So I guess I should post some baby bump pics
