Productive Weekend

This weekend Tony and Charlotte (my mother and father-in-law) came to visit. Thankfully, they were able to help us with some home improvements. Brian has taken on the job of remodeling our downstairs bathroom. Since this is the first time he has ever attempted this type of task we really needed Tony’s help (not to mention his tools). The other big project was painting the nursery. Charlotte, Tony, and Brian all worked on that while I sanded the walls in the bathroom. We thought that would be safer than me breathing paint fumes for several hours. The bathroom is still a work in progress, but we got a lot accomplished.




Another big accomplishment this weekend was purchasing the babies’ furniture. We took Charlotte and Tony to two stores to help us make the final decision. We settled on two cribs that convert to toddler beds and full size beds, one dresser, one combo dresser/changing table, and a glider. The furniture will be here in 8-10 weeks and the glider will be here in 6-8 weeks.

Tomorrow we are headed to Jacksonville. Brian has to go to a meeting for work and I am tagging along for fun. Sat. we’ll head over to my parents’ house in Panama City, and our baby shower will be on Sun. afternoon. We are looking forward to seeing all our family and friends. Brian ordered the cake for the shower to help with revealing the genders of our twins. Charlotte tried really hard to get us to tell her this weekend. It’s been hard to keep this a secret so I am looking forward to telling everyone this weekend.

Here's my belly pics. for week 20. Comments I have received this week from strangers include: "How far along are you? You look like you are ready to go soon!" and "How far along are you? Oh, you are having twins....I thought you looked big for 20 weeks!" and the worst comment so far..."You're having twins!? I would slit my wrist if I found out I was having twins!" Yes, someone actually said that to me. It was my hair stylist. I don't think I will be going back to her for a haircut!



These pictures were taken in the newly painted babies' room! In case some of you are wondering why I have my glasses on in most of my pictures it is because my eyes have been too dry to wear my contacts for extended periods of time. The doctor says that will go away after I have the twins.
