Father's Day

I am so thankful I have had such a wonderful father growing up. I have been lucky to have someone teach me about God, family and the values I now hold in my life. He will soon be a grandpa and I know that he couldn't be happier about that. He calls and checks on me each day to see how me and the boys are doing. He has been surrounded by girls his whole life so he won't even know what to do with a couple of boys except spoil them rotten:)



This is also sort of Lane's first Father's Day. I know he will make a great dad. He is a wonderful husband and is so great with kids. Only a few more weeks until he gets to meet them.


Love you dad and lane!!!!

Some Pics

Here are a few prego pics my sister's friend did at our house, since I can't leave. I am not into showing off my belly but I don't have that many people that read this so what the heck. Pretty good for her first ones if I say so myself. Thanks again Christina!!!

30 week weigh in

Today was another checkup at the doc to find out how much the babies are weighing. I was guessing a little over 3 pounds and I was right:) Ethan is 3 lbs 9 oz and Aidan is 3 lbs 14 oz. They are porking right up which is excellent. We really couldn't get any good pictures of them, b/c they are really getting cramped in there so we are stuck with a picture of one of their feet.

Also over the past couple of weeks a few people have asked if we are sure they are boys. I thought after all the ultrasounds we have had YES they are boys, but for those still skeptial here once again is proof that they are in fact boys.

Courtney and Me

I was excited to find out when i was pregnant that one of my friends from high school was pregnant as well and our due dates were only 5 days apart. Well, I will have the boys much earlier than her, but still exciting! I was so glad when she was able to come up for my shower and we could compare bellies and all of that fun stuff. At first I was like wow we aren't that much different. Maybe I'm not that big after all, but then when we took the actual photos that told a different story. I've got her beat by quite a bit and my belly is really pointy. I guess that is because I am carrying two little boys and she is carrying only one:) Here are our pics. Can't wait for Aidan and Ethan to meet Asher. I will definitely be taking trips to Marion more often once the boys get here, b/c if I don't I am sure their grandparents will not be happy with me.

Baby Shower

28 weeks and counting

This past weekend I had my first baby shower. My sister has been planning this for months(which she did the most amazing job ever) and we almost thought we wouldn't be able to have it since I am on bedrest for now. Instead all of my friends and family made the 2 hour trek up to my house to celebrate the day with me, which I am so thankful for!!! We transformed the basement into a baby jungle theme, which is what our nursery is done in, and it looked amazing. I got soooooo many wonderful things for the boys and needless to say I think they may be a little spoiled from everyone, especially their grandparents!!! Thanks again to all who came. Here are a few pics from the day.

Pregnancy Pics

Since I can't really get out of the house now or do anything for that matter one of my sisters friends came up this weekend to take a few prego pics for us. She is just starting up her and her husbands business, but she did an excellent job. Lane and I were so happy so we can look back and remember this, b/c in all honesty I do not think we will ever go through this again. Check out her website and go under expectations....www.connellyphotography.com. I will post some pics later on here as well once she sends them to me:)

Mother's Day

This is one day over the past few years that I have dreaded so much. I never thought that I was going to be a mother and the day just made me sad. Well this year is different, I am a mother to be and I couldn't be happier. Even though I am on bed rest and couldn't do anything it was still great to be knowing in just a few weeks that I will have 2 little boys here. Still hard to believe!!! My mom, dad, sis, her husband and my granny all came up for the afternoon. They cleaned my house and then we got some food to go and brought it back to the house, so we could have some time together. It was wonderful. I am so blessed with such a wonderful mother!!! She would do anything for me!! My granny did get me the cutest card, so I will post what is said.......

Hi Mommy!
Even though I haven't even been born yet,
I wanted to tell you that I can hardly wait to see you and play with you.
But in the meantime, just know that I alreay love you and
know you'll make a really great Mom.

Love,
??

P.S.: Who's the guy who's always patting you on the stomach and saying
"Hellooooo in there"? What a goofball.

Happy Mother's Day to all!!!
