First Bath


Bath Time For Jake and Lilly


Lilly Grace was not a fan of the bath, unlike her brother, Jake. He was pretty mellow and seemed to enjoy his bath time quite a bit! She wanted no part of being naked in a tub of water, no matter how warm it was. Just another example of how different these two truly are! One thing is for sure, we are learning lots from our little sweeties. What works for one may not necessarily work for the other. We are thrilled to be able to share this adventure... and quite an adventure it has already proven to be!!!

Tomorrow is the Day!



Well, we made it!! FULL TERM! Here is a lovely shot of my HUGE belly! Jake and Lilly will be here tomorrow. Due to low fluid, my doctor is inducing a few days early which is just fine with me!

The Nursery Is Finally Finished!












The nursery is finally finished! We are so excited to welcome Jake & Lilly! Cody put his artistic abilities to work when he painted the wooden letters that spell out the babies’ names. He also transferred this beautiful vinyl quote above the closet door which is a daily reminder of just how precious these two gifts are to us. Both babies have their very own growth chart. It will be a while before they can stand and measure their height, but when the time comes, we’ll be ready! The rocker by the window is the very same one that Cody’s mom {Grammy} rocked him in more than 30 years ago. My favorite thing in the nursery is this white rocking horse. We actually have one for each baby, but will wait to pull the other one out until they are old enough to enjoy them! I just can’t believe that in just a few weeks, we will be welcoming them home. It has seemed like such a long time that we’ve waited for them, and now looking back over the past nine months, time has really flown by. I know these last several days will go by so quickly while we are still trying to take care of those last minute “To Do List” items! We have a scheduled induction date of July 12. Hopefully, Jake and Lilly decide to wait until then to make their big debut!
