Diaper Shower

On April 11, a bunch of my close friends got together and hosted a diaper shower for me. It was soo much fun and the food was WONDERFUL. They had the shower at Horizons in Fayette. If you have ever eaten there, you know how good the food is, and if you haven't eaten there, then you are missing out! I was soo happy to see everyone that came, and somewhat had a small class reunion with about 6 of my very good high school friends. Aubrey and Lainey are going to be soo spoiled when they get here, its crazy! However, I am soo thankful for the wonderful friends that God has blessed me with and so glad they will be apart of my girls' lives!

Updates

Thanks to "Blackout 2009" last week, I wasn't able to update everyone on things happening at the Deavours' household. I did get to post about our Anniversary, we did enjoy our cake from a year ago and it was still just as good as the first time we had it! We also celebrated Easter with Ms. Wanda's family ( sorry for no pictures, my camera was STILL in the shop) We enjoyed a wonderful Easter lunch, and an Easter egg hunt afterwards. We are soo excited next year Aubrey and Lainey will get to participate in the fun! I just hope their Daddy doesn't act crazy knocking people over to get prize eggs for them! I have seen it happen before!

The next big event in April was Dan's Birthday on Monday, April 13. Due to the blackout, we enjoyed a family steak supper at Ms. Wanda's by candle light. It was a first for all of us I believe! Of course Hudson couldn't figure out why we didn't have the lights on and there was NO TV! lol Danni Kate was very amazed at all the candles, she was too cute!

Dan did get something he had been eyeing for a long time with his Birthday money, a Wii, and what little bit we have played on it, lol he doesn't like that his wife is giving him a little competition! We have enjoyed it though, I am sure the girls are wondering what all the fuss is about! lol

The last update is my Dr's visit on Friday. The Dr wants to start seeing me once a week now. He has told us from day one that most twins are born between 35-37 weeks( which today I'm 32 weeks) My blood pressure was a little elevated so he wants to keep a better watch on it, I have been checking it twice a day since Friday and it has went down a very good bit, which is good. My feet have started swelling more and more, so he just wants to keep a watch on me a little more. He says I'm doing fine, but I'm glad he is wanting to keep a closer check. The girls' heartbeats were strong once again, so that was good news to hear. He thinks maybe 3- 4 more weeks. So maybe we will know more at this week's visit. Please just continue to keep all of us in your prayers!

Happy Anniversary!!!!

Happy One Year Anniversary to my wonderful husband!! Hard to imagine it has already been a year today. We survived the first year, Iron Bowl and all!! lol So I know we are destined to make it now! I am thankful to have Dan in my life and excited about the next chapter we are about to experience together! I love you Honey! :)

Update

I went to the Dr on Friday, first I had to retake my sugar test because my first time around I missed passing it by ONE POINT! However, my Dr was nice enough to let me take the 2 hour fasting test and I PASSED!!! So no three hour test thank goodness!


We also got to have another ultrasound done, within a month, those girls have GROWN! I think last time they were measured, one baby was weighing 1 lb 8oz and the other 1lb 9 oz. WELL within little over a month's time, Friday they were measured weighing, 3lbs 8oz and 3 lbs 11oz!!!! Thank you Lord for growing babies!!!! Dr. Madden said they were doing great! That has been a big fear that one baby might get more than the other, but they are already sharing at an early age! :)


I start now going every 2 weeks until I am at week 34, which is the first week in May, then go every week. It is crazy how fast it has gone by! Still not sure on exactly when they will make their grand entrance. I am praying that they hold out to the last week of May which will put me in week 37, Dr says that is normal delivery time for twins. The only thing we are really watching, one baby is in the breached position, so depending on if that baby turns or stays breached, depends on a C-Section or not. Besides that, everything is good, Dr said I am doing very well myself! :)

We were only able to get a 4-D shot of one baby girl, the other baby girl was being shy and covering her face! Dan and I really can't decide if we can even tell who she looks like, mom did say she looked like she had my forehead?!? However, it does look like she has some hair on her head!

They are also getting bigger that it is hard to see both of them clearly in a picture compared to seeing them together back in January together!

Our "shy" baby girl

Our "laid back" baby girl, she had her head laid back in every picture just taking it easy!

Happy April Fool's Day Mr. Turkey

Today, my wonderful husband was like a kid when he come running, well should I say walking with what little bit of energy and breath he had left, around the corner of the house. Bless his heart, I thought I was going to have to do CPR on him right in the front yard, he just fell down and tried talking to me, but you really couldn't understand what he was saying, but with what he had in his hand said enough. Yes, today Dan got his first Turkey of this year's turkey season. He was soooo excited, he just couldn't stop smiling! I got tickled at him, because you see he had tried calling me to come pick him up in the field behind the house because he was about to pass out from walking up and down hills, plus carrying Mr. Turkey and everything else you need to "call" a turkey up with , but I was on the phone talking with my aunt and wouldn't answer the beep. Sorry Honey!

Dan and his prize

Dan and Hudson

Of course Danni Kate could careless about everything going on

Baby Showers

I had my first Baby Shower on March 21 at my wonderful sister in law's house. Along with many wonderful hostess there to help. They had a baby shower brunch, with delicious food, that not much if any was left! There were soo many people that came and I was soo excited to see them all. Aubrey and Lainey are truly blessed to have such wonderful friends and family waiting on their arrival! Dan of course got the deer in the headlights look when he saw all the gifts, especially the clothes! We had to re do the girls' closet just to hold the clothes they have gotten. So now they have 2 bars up in the closet instead of one!

Mom (AKA Moma D) and me

"Aunt" Amanda and me ( they just had to do the touch the belly picture)

"Aunt" Martha and me Wonderful ladies in my family, my cousin Sherry, Mom, my grandmother, me and my Aunt Nita

These were a cute purchase I made myself, and I did get two pair, Dan was not very happy about the purchase, but that is part of living in a house divided!

On Sunday, March 22, the ladies at church gave us a wonderful Baby Shower Tea. They always go out of their way to make everything wonderful, from the food to the beautiful flower arrangements, it was perfect. Of course once again, Dan got that "look" in his eyes! lol Bless him, it's going to be a handful with 3 women in the house! But he is getting more excited every day! The people of the community blessed us once again with all the gifts they gave for Aubrey and Lainey.

Nana, Dan, me and Moma D

Food Table and Flower Arrangement

This was a cute basket that the girls received, it is a house divided basket all the way around, and was filled with lots of goodies!

Dan and I are truly blessed with all the family and friends that we have, and the love they have shown to us from day one. We are very thankful to have all of you in our lives and in Aubrey and Lainey's lives as well! We love you all! Thank you for all that you do!

Still here

We are still here, just trying to finish up the nursery. As of right now, my camera is in the shop being fixed so I cant put any pictures up, sorry. I hope to have it back next week so I'll try to get some posted then. We finally found a baby chandelier for the nursery and I'm excited to have it put up.

Not too much more going on. I do go for the DREADED sugar test on Thursday, say a prayer I pass the first time PLEASE! lol The girls are kicking like crazy as well, however everytime I try to let Dan feel it, they stop! I aggrivate him and say they are just like him, never listen to me when I want them to! lol It's crazy to think that in about 11 more weeks the girls will be here. The Dr said that normally with twins they try to get you to go between weeks 35-37, well we are pushing for week 37, which will be the last week of May. So have about 10 more weeks to go! Hard to believe. Dan and I both are excited, but nervous as well. However, we have wonderful family and friends that will be here to help us. Please keep all of us in your prayers, and that we do go 10 more weeks for sure and not any earlier!

Hope you are all doing well! Have a great week!
