{Final Nesting}

The thing about finishing the nursery so early is, you kind of run out of things to do. AND, I'm already wondering if I should have gone with a different look.

There are SO many options, right?

 So, I've found myself making more burp rags.

 And car seat covers. That was a process because I ordered adorable seat covers but couldn't find anything that matched really well. However, I didn't want to have  a perfect match!

 Cloth diapers washed and ready for 3+ mos. With as much diapers at first, I like to start with disposables.

Baby Update:

The girls are BIG. Believe it or now, I am glad to hear that! I feel SO, SO, heavy. Rolling side to side takes so much effort. I have only gained 8 lbs. BUT, the girls are almost 5 lbs each! At 31w5d they were each 4lbs 13oz. C-section is scheduled for 37weeks on Monday 2/24 at 7 AM (5 AM arrival).

 I don't want to have them any sooner due to developmental milestones like their sucking reflex and lungs. I am still working and plan to until delivery as my job is as sedentary as it gets; but don't discount it, it's really mentally tiring, as is running our life lately:-) 

{So INCREDIBLY Sick}

 

I just finished 2 rounds of antibiotics and I wish there was a cure other than time for my back. Last Friday I couldn't walk and I swore more than I ever have in my life. The excruciating pain lasted for 3 good days and then by the 1 week mark I gained more motion but still with some pain.

In the meantime, I also had my top wisdom teeth out! SO sick. With 8 hours of bleeding I am going to leave the bottom ones in.

 Poor Ry was in the E.R. 2x in one weekend with croup and pneumonia.

 We watched many movies while sick! We'd like to think we'll be healthy when we meet these little gals in a couple more weeks!

 The kids feeling better thankfully hitting the pavement tying up last minute errands before we have 2 more family members.

 We even found a convenient place to let the kids sled near by; they LOVED it! 

{New Years Eve/Day}

On New Years Eve we took the kids to the Fun Center up the road. We love the place because they have climbing structures, jumping inflatables, and arcade (we don't use), and a nice skating rink. The coolest part, they allow children to bring scooters (i.e. Razor... great for kids like Ry who don't want to skate).

New Years Day

We visited Provo Beach Resort another fun place with indoor surfing, bowling, climbing structures, an old carousel, arcade, golf simulator, and a ropes course Maisey loves (freaky as you climb around ropes high in the top of a warehouse type ceiling).

 (Lazor game light game)

 Finishing up with ice cream at their creamery in their old fashioned diner.

We had some cider and other snack foods (my fave taco dip) and played games to ring in the New Year.

We are excited for all the changes 2014 will bring. Little did we know while ringing in 2013 how much change would come. I am somewhat embarrassed to say 2013 is a year I'm so glad to say goodbye too!
