Week 26 In Review

Hey Everyone,

Sorry I have missed for the last few weeks. I know my pups helped me out last week by taking up the slack. They’re good dogs. You'll be happy to know that both got an extra treat for that help.

Since last week, we have had two showers. One was given by the Christ UMC Choir. It was really great. I can’t believe how wonderful everyone in the choir is and how much they care for us. Our choir is filled with special people and Kristi and I both feel very fortunate to be a part of such a wonderful group.

The other shower was given by friends locally and it too was wonderful. Our friends brought many things for the kids, had a delicious cake there and made a cake out of diapers. Here are a few pictures from that shower.

 Also, Kristi’s cousins Katy and Nicole and her mom came in for this shower. It was a wonderful surprise for Nicole to be here and really nice that both she and Katy made the trip down from Ft. Worth for the day. Here is a picture of Kristi and her mom at the shower.

The babies’ room has also come together. I have the room painted, all the furniture built and we have even started moving stuff into the bookshelf. I think the dogs showed you pictures of the room already but here are a few from better angles.

We also went to the doctor last week and Kristi and the kids are doing great. The doctor said she was very pleased with the way everything looks so we couldn’t be happier. We go tomorrow to get another measurement ultrasound. Hopefully everything will continue to be perfect. Last time both babies were above average in weight and length with the boy being a lot bigger. I’ll let you know where they are this time.

At home, the babies are moving often and Kristi and I have no problems feeling and even seeing them move. The boy is easier to feel since he’s on top but I finally got to feel the girl this weekend. Apparently they love music because they really start kicking anytime Kristi sings, she’s at a concert or when I play music for them. It’s a good thing they like music because look at what Kristi’s cousin Katy bought the children.

It’s obvious Katy loves the children very much already and wants them to be happy.

That’s about it for this week. I’ll let you know what the ultrasound shows next time and probably put up some new ultrasound pictures. Until then, I hope you have a great week.

Dr. Daddy

From a Poodle’s Perspective

Hello Everyone,

I’m Mojo.

And I’m Ozzy.

Our Dad, Dr. Daddy, has been really busy lately painting rooms, building furniture, cleaning the house, etc. in preparation for our new brother and sister. Unfortunately this means he hasn’t done the blog for awhile. I know many of you have been wondering what his problem is so we thought we would help out and write one for him.

We know that you always want to see what Mom looks like these days so we’ll go ahead and show you.

Isn’t she pretty!  There is no doubt that she has our brother and sister in there. She went to get her nails done the other day and while there the man doing her toes asked when she was due. She told him July and he just stared in disbelief. When Mom told him that she was carrying twins he said, “Oh, that’s why you’re so big.”  We don’t know what happened to that guy but we would have been spanked and sent to the back yard for a crack like that.

Our grandmother, Nonni, is here this weekend also. You can see where our mom gets her good looks.

As we said, Dad’s been hard at work in our brother and sister’s room. Here is what it looks like after the paint and building furniture. This is the new bookshelf. Notice all the books. These are Mom's (or Kristi as most of you know her) books from when she was a little girl. Isn't that cool.

Here's the chair that Boyd and Nicole gave us. We tried jumping on it but the darn thing glides back and forth and Ozzy fell on his butt. It was funny.

 Here's one of the cribs.

Here's the other one. Notice all the diapers in this crib.

Mom and Dad’s church choir had a shower for them last Wednesday and boy were people nice to them. Mom and Dad couldn’t believe that people in their choir cared that much for them. Our parents' were very appreciative of all the nice things the choir brought for our brother and sister, especially the diapers. Check out this stack.

Boy, we can't wait to get into those and tear them to shreds. Dad loves it when we play "tear things up." I'm sure he'll really love it when they're full of poop and we get into one. FUN!!!!

In addition to last Wednesday’s shower, friends threw another shower for Mom today. We’re sure Dad will show you those pictures on the next post.

That’s about it right now. Tuesday, Mom and Dad go back to the doctor so we’re sure Dad will post a lot more after that.

We hope you have a good week.

Mojo and Ozzy
