We have mostly completed the nursery preparations. We have been stockpiling diapers. We have a dresser full of clothes and blankets galore. We have four handcrafted blankets/quilts for each baby waiting to provide comfort and warmth. So now it is a different waiting game. Anxiously waiting instead of waiting anxiously.
We have been visiting the hospital each weekend to have the twins monitored. Each week is a peek at this new life. A time to hear their steady, strong heartbeats. It is fascinating and inspiring. I spend my time thinking about how life will change, the things I will want to do with them, the responsibility that comes with having babies. Imagining playing catch, making smores camping, reading to them, or just plain watching them be alive. I am excited!
And now for some pictures. I have to say everything I want to say before the pictures because I know you wouldn't read it otherwise. It's like a picture hungry mob out there.
First we have a selection of pictures from the showers Meg had at Cheryl's and the family shower at Marlene's.
Next, we have a couple photos of the quilts that Marlene made for each of the kids.
This is one of the blankets that Sherry Myklebust made. She also made a blue blanket. Some really talented knitters/quilters we have here.
With genes like the following two pictures we are going to have beautiful, loving, and intensely strong charactered children. What a blessing to have such family.
Extended family on the Teague side.
And we will finish up today with pictures of the completed nursery.
