We are 21, going on 22 weeks pregnant now, and we made it through quite the set of storms! I mentioned in my last post that it had been raining for nearly two weeks, and it hasn't really stopped until today. We were hit with Tropical Storm Cindy which brought 4 days and 4 nights of non-stop rain... The yard looks like a jungle... Barry'll tackle that on Tuesday when he's done with an intense weekend of work looking at him.
So back to the boys... I'm really enjoying feeling all the summersaults going on in my belly. Every hour or so, I notice them both dancing in there! Barry has been able to feel them kick a few times too, which is always exciting. I've mentally adjusted to knowing I am going to raise two boys. I've moved off the nervous feelings and primarily feel excited about the new adventure. I'm letting myself bond and feeling ready to meet them.
The boys now have names, but we're keeping them to ourselves for now - not sure if we will share with the world or hold-on to the names until they're born. We're really happy with the names though and believe they're the perfect blend of honoring our loved ones and our style.
Libby has really taken to talking to my belly, which I find incredibly sweet. She likes to say, "Hi brothers. Libby. Big sister." Ryleigh has lost interest now that she knows they're boys, but she does get excited about sitting in the "way back" of the van when the twins arrive.
In preparation news, Barry made a TON of progress on the yard. I'm hoping we can get that project wrapped-up before my BFF arrives in less than 2 weeks! In the nursery, we have curtains up, a new rug on the floor and the first coat of pain on the accent wall. All we have left is to finish the wall, assemble the cribs and then start organizing.
Next up, we'll pull everything down from the attic and sort-through what we have and what we can replace. Right now, we're being spoiled from friends and family sending clothes and gifts. I just don't know what we would do without our tribe!
Work threw me a curve-ball this week with the potential of a new role. Decisions and challenges lie ahead, but not until next year, so taking it one day at a time and enjoying this pregnancy.
And lastly... my stay-cation is swiftly approaching! I'm taking-off a week from work to celebrate July 4th with the hubby and kiddos, playing for a SUPER long weekend with my BFF and celebrating the twins with a Baby-Q... I am so excited!!!!!
Happy weekend y'all! ((hugs))
