30 1/2 weeks


Michelle is just as beautiful as ever in her 30 and 1/2 week of pregnancy. We had our 5th year wedding anniversary last night and I took her to the Breakers in Palm beach for dinner. We had a good time and we talked about how excited we were to have the twins. everyone from the valet to the waitress and guests at other tables all had comments to her on how good she looked to good luck with twins. There are two things in life for which we are never truly prepared: Twins

One little Angel


See how she is resting her chin on her hand. How Cute!!!
I am getting prepared for questions asked most often:
Are they twins? - duh
Are they girls? - doesn't matter if they are in pink dresses, still asked!
Are they all yours? No actually one is mine and one is yours, do you want her back now?
Are you twins also? - haven't figured that one out yet
How do you do it? - you do what you have to do
Are they identical?

4 D Pictures of the Girls - 30 weeks

Michelle went and got these amazing 4 D pictures today and are they ever cool. I can't believe how much you can actually see their faces. She also brought home a DVD of the girls and it is so cool to watch them move around. What do you think by these pictures, are they identical or fraternal? There are just way too many pictures to post so I selected just two that had their faces in the same position. Sometimes the babies were opening their mouths and it was fascinating to watch them rub their eyes and kick and punch each other. At on point it looked as if they were holding each other by the hand but since they are in two separate sacks I guess that would be impossible. I am getting too excited now to actually see them. Michelle and I watched a video about two ladies who had twins and the both said the same thing. We are going to be very busy the first few years but after that they are much easier than having one because they entertain each other. Michelle said that she counted ten fingers and ten toes on both Reese and Riley and they look so sweet and peaceful. They both weigh 2.8 pounds and we expect that they will make it to at least 37 weeks. The doctor said they were right on track in size and weight and that they looked very similar in all of their features. We will have to wait and see in a few more months. Leave us a comment if you think that they are identical or not.

30 weeks - Baby Shower

I wanted to thank everyone who came to the Baby Shower!! We can not thank you enough for all of the nice gifts and seeing everyone was just great! I think we are set on diapers for the first month or two and the gifts that you all brought were just fantastic. All of the guys had a great time playing poker and I think that all of the girls had fun doing the baby shower stuff. I know for a fact that the shower would have been boring to me without the poker (and the beer). I wanted everyone to finally see the the picture of me with a smaller belly than Michelle. I guess I only have a few more months to make this claim so I better let everyone know while I can. It was really good to see all of our Friends and family during the shower and I can't wait for the babies to get here. We are waiting up tonight for the babies new furniture to get here. I will post the pictures soon.

The twins room is almost complete.......Just waiting on the twins.

We finally have the girls room finished. The second crib was assembled by Michelle and I on Saturday and it was a little easier than I thought it would be. I can't believe that they will be here in about 10 more weeks. Michelle has bee very tired the past few days and is supposed to stay off her feet. The babies are so active in her belly, it is really neat to see them both kick and move around. They respond to our voices and we enjoy talking to them everyday.


Michelle is 27 weeks pregnant in this picture. My has she grown in the past few months. I hope to take more pictures the last 2 months and once the twins are born.

Erik painted both Reese and Riley's Names

They look great!!!

The Girls room is almost finished

Erik Wartberg painted Reese's name for us and it looks awesome. He will paint Riley's too to go in their newly decorated room. Annie, Michelle's sister has been a big help since I have been in Georgia. She painted the walls, hung a border and put up Tiki like straw above the windows and closet. It looks really good. Michell went to the doctor today and the girls are getting really big. Both of them are 2 pounds each and are starting to become very active. Michelle has been told to stay off of her feet more now because the girls are trying to come out and it is much too early for that. If I could only get her to stop being such a busy body and lay down the last few months I would not worry so much.

In the new ultrasound that Michelle got today we can see the babies features. It is so crazy but one of them has her eyes open. I will put up the pictures soon. I can't even wait to see my girls, and I bet Michelle can't wait to release them too. It has been a little more difficult for her the past few months with having heartburn and tremendous kicks from double trouble. I will be getting finished with the Georgia deal and heading home to West Palm in the next week or so just in time for the Baby Shower. Can you believe that we will be seeing the little girls in only a few more months.
