I need a DONUT!

...and I ain't talking about the kind from good ol' Dunkin'! I need a donut for my ass! These kids are killing my tailbone!

Okay, so alot has happened since my last post. It finally hit Brent and I that we don't have much time left to get done the things that are on our 'to-do' list before the twins are here. I've been painting the nursery like a mad woman while Brent has been working his ass off trying to finish the bonus room before the shower on Dec. 2nd. Here is a picture of Brent working on the bonus room last weekend. He is a tool (a very handy one too!).


This past Thursday we went to Charleston for our BIG ultrasound. The babies are doing well and we found out that we are having one boy and one girl!!! I can't believe it! How did we get so lucky!?!?!? I mean, I feel more blessed than I could ever convey to another human being. It's unreal. This whole process has been traumatic and stressful and something I wouldn't wish on my worst enemy. Having said that, the rewards of this experience has turned out way better that I could have ever expected. I can't imagine going through everything we have been through with a negative outcome. Now, one last prayer... that these babies are healthy and strong when they are born. These are pictures of our babies and their junk. :)




This weekend was another productive weekend. The nursery is painted and the cribs are put together. The bonus room is completely primed. It's still not done, but at least we are getting closer. We bought tons of pink stuff to balance out all the blue clothes we already have. These kids don't need anymore clothes! They have more stuff than me or their father! Spoiled rotten!

Preciousness

Brent is pretty good about getting me flowers for no reason. I'll come home to a bunch and smell them for a minute and then watch them die over the next week, but now I feel like I can extend their life by taking a picture of them the first day and posting them on our blog. Brent was out of town for the beginning of the week and it was harder for me now that I'm pregnant. I need him here with me because my days seem to be so much longer and harder. He was gone for three days too which is a long time for one of his trips. I guess he missed me as much as I missed him because I came home to this pretty bouquet. I can't imagine how it's going to be for me when he needs to go out of town and I'll have two babies to take care of all by myself. I guess we'll take it one step at a time.

J-Rod Turns Thirty!

Brent and I went to Atlanta this weekend for a surprise 30th Birthday for Jared. It was great! We got to see tons of people who we haven't seen in a really long time... some we hadn't seen since our wedding! We met everyone at the Taco Mac at Perimeter to celebrate his birthday and to watch the Florida vs. Alabama game. Brent was hammered and Joanne and I drank our non-alchoholic, skunk-tasting, fake beer together. Rachel and her Alabama friends were being "Roll-Tide obnoxious". Pitts was talking smack to Rachel after they lost and Jared had to talk her out of fighting him. There was this other rando chick there that kept bumming cigarettes off of the group who was just so freaking annoying. It was so fun watching Brent make fun of her to her face. I miss just being able to hang out with comfortably fun and crazy people. Especially those peeps! It was kind of like old times and I think Brent and I both needed it pretty bad. It made us feel normal again for a few hours. We were supposed to meet up with them later at another bar after we checked into a hotel but we tried a couple hotels that were booked and somehow just ended up driving towards home. We stayed in Macon last night. It was relaxing and nice to get out of town for the weekend.

This is our pal Pat. Pat is a very unusually unique character. He is super sweet and very odd and somehow always finds a way to make everyone laugh by doing something ridiculously stupid. Yesterday, Pat decided he was going to eat this HUGE blob of blue icing in one bite. It was about the size of a grapefruit - so nasty. He did it. We laughed and gave him money for his dumb trick. It was great and very Pat. He would be a fun person to have as a pet. We love him to death!
