We had a great and wonderful weekend. Sorry for the long post, but we did so much!!!

On Friday, I had my 20 week OB check up appointment. We had an ultrasound and both babies look healthy and happy. The ultrasound tech did have a little bit of a hard time distinguishing them between Baby A and Baby B, because they were moving so much. Baby A is labeled as to which one is closest to the cervix and they had nearly switched spots by the time she was done measuring them. They each weigh approx. 10 oz. I'm measuring like I'm 24 weeks pregnant, so about 4 weeks larger than a singleton pregnancy. I thankfully didn't have to much to speak with the doctor about since I'm feeling so much better. Nexium, the purple pill, is a miracle drug. I wish I would have had it when I was pregnant with Connor. Dr. Byrkit said everything is going great and I just "need to keep growing". She said I'll probably only make it to about 35-37 weeks. I'm already past the half way point!! So much to do, so little time. I'll go back in 4 weeks and have another ultrasound to make sure they are growing at the same rate.


After getting to see our girls, Dale and I went to dinner at Pastabilities. Dad and Robyn had Connor for the evening! I ate like a pregnant women. I cleaned every plate they brought us. I'm glad we were hidden in our own little corner of the restaurant!

After dinner we went to Kohl's for a little shopping. I'm super excited because they had a pair of maternity jeans in petite sizes. I was so excited and I kept telling Dale!!! I'll be getting online to shop for some more! After finding a pair of jeans, we stopped by the baby clothes! Big mistake. I hit the 80% off rack in the girls section and went to town. Dale stood by patiently while I got lost in my shopping induced high. It is so fun to shop for girls, especially on the clearance rack!!
We were able to get quite a few matching outfits for next summer. Dad and Robyn brought a very hyper Connor home and it took us a while to get him settled for bed.


Saturday morning Mom, Connor and I hit a few garage sales. I came home with quite a bit of clothes, considering we only hit three sales. I definitely capitalized on another woman's shopping addiction. I always complained about not finding boys clothes at garage sales and I'm now convinced they really are harder on the clothes. We also went to see Grandma Wingard and Uncle Bobby at lunch time. Saturday night was just Connor and I hanging out at home while Dale went to an overtime job.

Sunday was just as busy! After church, we went to lunch with Dad, Robyn and Erica. Connor kept asking for ice cream with lunch, I hate printed coasters!! I told him we would get some ice cream later if he tried a bit of shrimp and crab. He refused to eat the crab after it hit his tongue and he choked the shrimp down, while I kept asking him if he wanted ice cream. Poor kid, but he needs to try new foods and maybe someday he'll eat like his mommy!

After lunch we went shopping for a mattress for Connor's new bedroom and ended up at DQ for an ice cream cone. I kept my promise!!

My most productive time of the entire weekend came on Sunday afternoon. We Dale woke up we emptied our walk in closet and put it back organized!!! I could probably sleep in there tonight, just because it makes me feel so good. It was becoming a dumping ground and now it is all organized and happy!! I do have to add that it is a little depressing looking at all the clothes I won't be wearing, since my belly is growing by the minute!!

So there's our weekend. I hope everyone had a great weekend and has an equally great week!!
