Update

So I know I have been very behind on blogging lately. I don't really have much of an excuse except that until this week I was still working so when I get home at night I am exhausted and don't really feel like logging on. Now that I am officially off work I have a little more time to blog. So here it goes...

We kicked off August with Carter's 3rd birthday at Chuck E. Cheese. While I have to admit CEC would not be my first choice for a birthday party it was the best option for us this year. They did everything which was nice and it was very reasonably priced. The bad thing was it was SO crowded. We even had his party on a Sunday thinking that would be better but it wasn't. There were so many people there it was almost too overwhelming. But Carter had a great time and that is what is important.

Our family picture. It gets harder and harder to get a good picture with a 3 year old.

Games were enjoyed by all...

even the big boys

Carter was pumped about his cake. He kept sticking his fingers in it and could hardly stand waiting for it.

This is him waiting for his cake as you can tell he was not happy. It was so cute.

He was enthralled by Chuck E.

The favorite present was his Toy Story car from my folks.

And here is my big 3 year old.

I don't have any pictures but I did have a short stay in the hospital earlier this month. The day after Carter's birthday I woke up feeling terrible. Long story short I had a stomach bug that dehydrated me. I was admitted for a night to get IV fluids. I felt much better and have been working hard to make sure I stay hydrated so I don't have to go back until they are born. So far so good.

As for the babies things are continuing to go well. I went to the doctor last Thursday and baby A weighs 6lbs 1 oz and baby B weights 5lbs 12 oz which is great for twins. I am still scheduled for delivery this Friday and I can't wait. Not only do I want to meet these little ladies but I am so over being pregnant. We have everything ready and now it's just a waiting game. Speaking of having everything ready here are pictures of their nursery. The only thing I want to add is their initials on the wall above the lamp. I haven't talked much about names as we were still deciding. Finally this weekend we came to a decision. It was a long process but we are happy and can't wait to see them. So without further adieu the girls will be named....

Adalyn Ann & Brooklyn Grace

As for how we got the names, we just like Adalyn and Grace and have for a long time. Ann was my paternal grandmother's middle name and Brooke is my middle name so they both have a family connection. I hope you like them as much as we do.
