  • 31 Weeks

    l1dy4sryp1n7ll60jjbkhd2x_500.jpg

    Brenda is at week 31 this week. My money is still on a 36 week delivery date since that’s the average of when twins are delivered. She’s hoping for 37-38 weeks which would put us into the week of Christmas or New Years. I think no matter what happens, they will be December Boys.

    Brenda is doing very well and had another checkup this week (she goes in every two weeks). The boys are both head down at this point, although that will probably change again in the coming weeks. They seem to change positions every few days. They’re also very active and you can often feel and even see them moving by watching her belly.

    The baby room is almost done with the final touches. I put up the curtains yesterday and the shades for the windows come in this week. I’ll be posting a final photo of the room soon. It’s come a long way since it was the computer room!

    That’s all for now!

  • A Poem to Share

    I’m not a huge fan of poetry, but I can appreciate it from time to time. I recently ran across this poem in a book I read and it really spoke to me so I decided to share it here. It really hit home and gave me great pause. I hope that you enjoy it as well.

    Slow Dance

    Have you ever watched kids on a merry-go-round
    or listened to the rain slapping on the ground?
    Ever followed a butterflies erratic flight
    or gazed at the sun into the fading night?

    You better slow down, don’t dance so fast.
    Time is short, the music won’t last.

    Do you run through each day on the fly?
    When you ask “How are you”, do you hear the reply?
    When the day is done, do you lie in your bed
    with the next hundred chores running through your head?

    You’d better slow down, don’t dance so fast.
    Time is short, the music won’t last

    Ever told your child, “we’ll do it tomorrow”
    and in your haste, not see his sorrow?
    Ever lost touch, let a good friendship die,
    because you never had time to call and say “hi”?

    You better slow down, don’t dance so fast.
    Time is short, the music won’t last

    When you run so fast to get somewhere,
    you miss the fun of getting there.
    When you worry and hurry through your day,
    It is like an unopened gift thrown away.

    Life is not a race, do take it slower.
    Hear the music, before the song is over.

  • Brenda Magazine Cover

    Brenda recently appeared on a national magazine cover and we thought we would share it with you. They were doing an article on future mothers of twins and asked her if she would pose for the cover. The necklace she’s wearing was a gift from the Queen of England that we received on our honeymoon in 2003.
