It is going to be one hot summer

On the way up to Cleveland I could not cool down. I had removed my socks and shoes. I had to have Neal give me shots of AC to keep my temperature under control. Poor Neal could not handle it. I never thought this day would ever come.



No luck on getting Lebron to autograph my belly, but we did see a great game. Never thought Neal would be the one trying to drag me around to see the entire arena. Needless to say my calves are sore just from walking around once. Sad! The babies must have been thrown off at the game. They were randomly kicking throughout. Usually they are quiet at night. What lucky kids, they got to go to a Cavs game at negative 3 months old and they got to sit on mommy's lap the entire time!

25 weeks

Things are going good. I had a string of 7 days without getting sick. Suzy had her shower this weekend and received a ton of stuff. We are both very fortunate. I would post pictures, but my pregnancy brain kicked in and I forgot to put the battery in my camera.

Up this week, CAVS game. I cannot wait. I have wanted to see Lebron up close for some time now. Neal even gave me permission to have him sign my belly. So Lebron, if you happen to be reading this, I will be the pregnant lady in section 123 that most likely will be dozing off in the second half (not because of you, because my body gives me no option). Please come by and sign my belly. It will make a great post for my blog. Our seats are awesome thanks to my dad.

Blogger has not been uploading my pictures for two days, so I will load as soon as it starts working again.

My clothes are shrinking!

It must be because Neal is doing laundry now. I cannot think of any other reason.....

Is that a bad word?

I am not proud. Today the babies heard words, terrible words. They were all said to the idiot on the phone at Target. Baby registry services suck and Target is at the top of my list. I was told if I wanted to make changes, I should read them to the girl over the phone. What year is this? Regardless I am now trying to get them to delete the whole thing. Every time I click on one thing, I have to log in again. You can imagine how frustrating that is. I used to love Target, but now they are the DEVIL!

In addition to the above rant, the registries change what is in stores weekly or they discontinue items. I am sure shoppers are just as frustrated. You can only return 2 things to Target a year without a receipt. AGGGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!

Cleveland Baby Shower

The shower was a success. My mom and sister showed their creativity. They made a pink and blue diaper cake and a homemade corsage made with some baby socks. I was very impressed. The hall was very nice and we had a great turn out. It is amazing how generous people are! We received so many things for the babies. We also got some Ohio State gear and Indians gear! We also received a crying baby to start torturing the dogs with. So far neither dog likes the baby, although Tippy did give the baby a couple of kisses. My dad supplied us with our first set of math flash cards, a very important thing in our family! Our living room, is packed with all of our new things. Where do we put all of this stuff? Just looking around at all of the things makes me realize what a big change we have ahead of ourselves. I did not feel the babies kick throughout the shower, so I am pretty sure they slept through the entire thing!



I did not think I was that big until I saw the pictures. All I can say is YIKES! Thanks mom, dad and Stac for putting this on for me! I really appreciate it!

Ultrasound

I had another ultrasound today. Everything looks perfect. Yes, I am already bragging about my unborn children! I would post pictures, but I do not have the patience for the scanner. Both babies have flipped since the last ultrasound. They are pretty much kicking each other in the head. Jen said it best, sibling rivalry starting already. Our baby boy weighs 1 pound 1 ounce and our girl weighs 1 pound 4 ounces. I get to see them again in 4 weeks. I am spoiled! I could watch them all day. How am I going to keep my eyes off of them once they are here? Neal and I are back to working on names. We are thinking of just having a list and deciding on the day we meet them in person.

Build a Bear

Neal thought I was crazy, but I wanted to go to Build a Bear to make the babies their first stuffed animals. I have never seen him so embarrassed. Especially when we had to do some sort of ritual with the stuffed animals heart. We got our girl a bunny and our boy a dog. The bunny is named Thumper after my childhood rabbit, which was more like the size of a small dog and the dog is named Tippy. Neal's first dog was named Tippy as was my mom's , so as far as I am concerned it is a family name. I got proof of this event. Here is a pic of Neal hitting the pedal to stuff the animals.

Man does he look like he is enjoying himself. Of course we were too cheap to pay for outfits for the stuffed animals. Stuffed animals did not have clothes when I was a kid anyways!
