Brenda is still doing very well with the twin boys. She\u2019s still getting around OK and we were able to run some errands this weekend together and also go out for dinner. That\u2019s a marathon day for her!<\/p>\n
We\u2019ve decided to hold off on buying a van for another 3-6 months. Since Brenda will not be working at the office (and generating income at the office) we just want to be sure things are not going to get too tight with another vehicle payment. My guess is by the summer things will have adjusted fine and we\u2019ll get it then. I\u2019m probably going to have to get a full time replacement for her early next year.<\/p>\n
This weekend I assembled a few other baby related items, did some minor home repairs, and gutted the laundry room to get rid of just too many things that had built up over the years (do you really need receipts that are 14 years old??). Since our house is small, I\u2019m really trying to make the best use of the space we do have. By the end of the day (very end) I had thrown out several bags of garbage, an old dresser and countless other items, and assembled 3 new shelving units and organized what was left. So not only is there more space for future storage, but it\u2019s a whole lot cleaner!<\/p>\n
NAMES<\/p>\n
Although we\u2019ve been pretty close for awhile, we finally 100% agreed on the names for both boys, and even assigned one to baby A, and one to baby B. They are not in a sealed gold envelope and will be announced once they enter the world.<\/p>\n
It\u2019s a very busy week for me with lots of edits and a few meetings as well. Brenda\u2019s main job right now is to RELAX and keep the buns in the oven until they\u2019re good and ready!<\/p>\n
My money is still on a week 36 birth. We\u2019ll find out soon enough. At this point, any day is possible!<\/p>\n
Stay tuned!<\/p>\n
