Coming sooner than we thought!

Again, I am such a proud mommy. My little boy now says "please" and "thank you". He is always so helpful to the teachers at his tumbles class. He helps them put things away. They hang up these Harrison-sized punching bags for them to play with and he was helping carry them back to the closet. They were as big as he was and he could barely see around him! It was so cute.

House update: We met with the contractor on Saturday and should get our quote back today. Other than the sheetrock, paint, trim, and molding in the 2 basement rooms, they are going to take out the original tile in the basement bathroom and replace it with slate, put tile in a little "niche" that we have by our bedroom where we are going to put a fountain, and put waynescotting and crown molding in Harrison's room and paint the walls blue. He says it will take 2 days but I will believe it when I see it because thats a lot of work!!! The media room was wired yesterday and they will be back to install the equipment after its sheetrocked and painted. The office furniture is arriving tomorrow but the hutch and credenza were damaged so they are requesting another one. But the big news is our deck plans are already approved! So we should have a start date on construction very soon!

Baby update! We visited the specialist today. Harrison got to play with his grandmother, great-grandmother, and Aunt Kathy while we were gone. They wore him out like always! I now have my next 18 appointments set up. And thats only through July. Wow! We saw the babies on the ultrasound and everything is still great! They are still flipping around. Henry is head down where he should be but Charlie is transverse, which means he is in there horizontally, in fact I think he was even diagonal! This is no big deal. If Henry were to be transverse, they would have to do a C-section because there is no other way to do it. But if Henry is ok to be delivered the natural route, Charlie would probably change his position after Henry was delivered. But again its too early to start making predictions! Charlie is 1 lb, 10 ounces and Henry is 1 lb, 14 ounces. That is give or take 4 ounces. This is bigger than average. I have come to the same conclusion that I came to when I was pregnant with Harrison. He always measured a week bigger, like Charlie and Henry are (for those of you that haven't been pregnant, that means they are measuring like they are to be born a week sooner than predicted). Due dates are based on a woman's 28 day cycle, but I have always had a 21 day cycle, meaning my due date would be a week earlier than a 28 day cycle. I told my dr my theory on these babies and he completely agreed. That means I would be 25 weeks and 1 day as of today. It again doesn't mean much because twins come when they want to come, but its very likely that the babies will come sometime in July. He said the babies would definitely start "trying" to come around 32 weeks, which would be June 21.

Adam had a mediation on Satuday that lasted 17 hours!!! So he missed a lot of fun unforuntately, but he settled the case and this was a big case for him! Since I am not really able to do all the physical stuff involved in swimming lessons right now, MeeMee and Pop Pop came with us Saturday morning and Pop Pop got in the pool with him. Harrison did so well and stayed under longer than he ever has. Later that afternoon we went to Hailey's 4th birthday party at the Little Gym. Harrison LOVES that place! And he especially loved hanging out with the 4 year olds, particularly the girls of course. He did everything that they did and didn't need me at all! Its always good to see him having fun like that, because sometimes he can be shy and he will wrap himself around my leg. He doesn't like icing so I had to remove all the icing from the cake (I did so by eating it). I hope he gets over that soon, because de-icing a cake is a process! And I don't know what I will do about his birthday cake. Maybe give him his own little one without icing??? His Papa Hat was passing through town to buy a boat so we met him and Terry at Fuddruckers for an early dinner. Harrison made both of us spend all of our change on the claw machines with the stuffed animals. Adam usually gets it on the first try, so Harrison was a little annoyed that we came up empty handed! Adam and I had a movie date planned for Sunday but when he didn't come home until 2:30 am I knew that he would want to spend Sunday playing with Harrison. So we have a fun relaxing day planned tomorrow, just the two of us - couples massage, pedicures, and lunch. I can't wait! I am sure he is reluctant for the pedicure, but once those ladies start to rub his feet and calves, I know he will be addicted! So rare that we can make time to have a day like that so I can't wait.

I am feeling pretty good although the weight of my belly is hurting my hips and back more everyday. My pregnancy belt is supposed to arrive today and they are wonderful for back pain! I have been very excited about this :)

Harrison still talks about the "Doctor hurting Mommy" but this morning his concern was the "Doctor hurting Princess". He just melts me!
