Friday's BIG NEWS

☺ ☺

Since the boys love their warm and happy home and don't seem to want to come out on their own (even after ALL the labor stimulating things being done to coax them out), Dr. Echt told us on Friday that if they don't arrive this weekend on their own, that we are to check in to the Labor & Delivery room on Monday, April 21st at 5AM so the Docs can begin to induce labor! Hearing this and knowing that this is it... this is the last weekend... we are actually going to finally get to meet our two precious little packages.... is UNREAL! We've been both going through a roller coaster of emotions between overwhelming happiness and excitement to fear, worry and other never before felt emotions we can't even describe. Knowing that Monday is the day has really put the whole next stage into the very front of our minds. Prior to this news, the day the boys were to arrive was just some day in the future; some far off day that would eventually arrive... now we know. It is so exciting that we finally get to meet these guys and bring them into our world and raise and nurture them and love them and be with them. It is the greatest feeling in the world! YOUR MOM AND I LOVE YOU BOYS AND CAN'T WAIT TO MEET YOU!!!

Thurs. April 17th - Dinner at Adrian & BJ's

Last Thursday, Adrian, BJ and Lucas had us over to their great house for a yummy dinner (Thanks Beej!). This gave us a great opportunity to take some photos of Lauren and Adrian and my sister as well as Mister (Lucas). Adrian is 7-1/2 months pregnant with their new little girl.



Mister, Adrian, Danielle and Lauren!




This also gave us a good opportunity to take some more shots of Lauren's SUPER BELLY!

Here we are at week 37.... The boys gave us another weekend to relax and what a weekend they gave us! Record temperatures in the 90's made for epic beach time and who better to spend our time with than Danielle (aka Dolls - Patrick's sister) and where better to spend it: Hammonds!

The boys were loving the great weather and so was Mama. A couple dips in the ocean got the boys familiar with an envioronment they're bound to spend a lot of time in and they seemed to love it.

We also took the opportunity to get some shots of Lauren imitating a picture we have of her Mom at the end of her pregnancy 30 years ago. The apple sure didn't fall far from the tree!
