We finally finished up the nursery a couple of weeks ago (took us forever!) and I got some time to take some pictures this morning. I think this is my favorite room in the house right now....probably because it's the ONLY room that's actually finished. I wanted a little bit of a circus theme in the room, but not too much because I'm not big on ... read more
Life with Twins: Birth Story
I guess it's high time I posted about this! I actually wrote some of this several weeks ago before either baby was home from the hospital, but the blog has definitely been put on the back burner and I just never got around to finishing. I thought I'd share the twins birth story here, not just for you to read, but so that someday they can read about ... read more
Our Maternity Photo Shoot: Part 2
I showed you a sneak peek here of our maternity shoot, taken by my best friend, Priscilla. For those who are reading this that don't know, we had a photography business together until just a few weeks ago (our busy lives have gotten in the way of all that!). Anyway, she took these on my camera and I edited. Now that I'm finished, I thought I'd ... read more
Life with Twins: Nursery Update
...A nursery! Yay!! This is how the room looked when we moved into the house. We started peeling wallpaper off the walls and discovered that this room (along with the bathroom) had never been sheet rocked. And this is how it looks right now. Still quite a few things to do, but we've made a lot of progress! I promise you, the room has not been ... read more
Our Maternity Photo Shoot: Part One
We had our maternity photos done this evening in miserably HOT weather! I think it was 109 at 7:30pm... Just thought I'd post a few shots and show you some more later when I'm finished with the editing. My BFF, Priscilla, took the pics and I think she did an awesome job! ... read more
Baby Bump Pics: 20 and 25 Weeks
I've had several friends who don't see me very often ask me to post some new prego pics....SO, here they are, all professional and all. Forgive the self-portraits and forgive the lighting...it's the only mirror in the house I can get a pic. And the mirror is way old (which I actually love), but it's got some grainy spots on it, thus the grain in ... read more
Our Gender Reveal Photo Session!
Well, I haven't posted the gender reveal here on the blog, so of course I have to do it here as well as Facebook! We were going to try to keep this a secret until the twins arrived, but who were we kidding?! It's just too exciting...and we felt like our family and close friends were missing out on the excitement. Anyway, I just posted one picture ... read more
Life with Twins: Nursery Furniture
I'm so excited that we have gotten some of our nursery furniture purchased! We bought it Saturday, and picked it up today. I was starting to think it was all going to pile up on us at once. We got a great deal on these pieces from Three Dog Books, a quirky little antique store downtown Wichita Falls. We've gotten several things from them and I ... read more
New Arched Wall
This is going to be a long overdue "house post", but first I'd like to thank everyone for all of the nice, thoughtful and caring comments we've gotten over the past month or so in response to my last few posts about the babies. As I've told you before, I share these blog post links on Facebook and the response I've gotten there and emails has been ... read more
My thoughts on In Vitro Fertilization
First, I will preface this post by saying that these are my thoughts on In Vitro Fertilization. These are my opinions. This post is not intended to start any arguments. Everyone is entitled to their own opinions and beliefs. This is a bit personal, so if you don't care to read it, by all means, don't. :) I personally enjoy blogs more that offer ... read more
