32 weeks and 3 days!



We made it another week! We had great appointments this morning. I freak out when they weigh me, it just keeps going up and up. I have gained 28 pounds so far!!! OMG
The girls are getting so big though so thats good! Ramsey is head down now and she weighs 4 pds 9 ozs and Evie is so low we cant see her face in the ultrasound anymore!! She weighs 3pds 11 ozs. So can i take off 8 pds for them??? haha
They were rolling all over the place this morning, normally they are sleepy like there mom at these early appts! There kicks and movements are starting to hurt. We had a false alarm on Tuesday. I was having sharp pains in my upper stomach and back but when they did the ultrasound you can see that Ramsey is pressing hard on the placenta and that is what i am feeling. They hooked me up to a monitor and i wasn't having any contractions, so that was good.
They are still saying that i can do more at 34 weeks, yeah!! I am already starting my weekly appointments so we will go again next friday and set a date for the induction. It will be around 37 weeks so only 4 weeks max!! They said because they are already a good size they will probably come on there own soon!! AHH We are getting excited!!
Thank you so much for your prayers,visits,food,phone calls etc over the past 14 weeks. I cant believe it has been that long. I certainly did not think we would make it this far. We are so grateful. God has really watched over me and my girls.
We are coming up on Catherine Graces birthday, April 6th. We think about her all the time and know that she is watching over us. I don't even feel like i can complain about what has happened to us with this pregnancy because these babies are perfectly healthy and doing great. Bed rest is no fun, but with what we have been through i would do anything to bring these girls into the world. We can only give God the glory for these twins, they certainly came out of nowhere. Of all the times i questioned God when we lost Catherine Grace. To know then what i know now. He is in complete control and knows exactly what he is doing. My doctor told us when we found out we were having twins that it reminded him of the story of Job.
JOB 1:21 "Naked i came from my mothers womb and naked i will depart, the LORD gave and the LORD has taken away; may the name of the LORD be praised"
JOB 42:10 "After Job had prayed for his friends, the LORD made him prosperous again and gave him twice as much as he had before. The LORD blessed the latter part of JOBS life more than the first."
We have been grateful for great doctors and family and friends. We love you all

It's true. While i am being lazy, sitting and playing on the computer. My hubby is vacuuming, windexing, pledging and mopping every inch of our little house. He even rolled up the rugs, vacummed and mopped under them...i dont think i have ever done that??
I bet the girls wont have a problem getting him to clean their room for them :):)

2 more weeks of bed rest..i hope!! I will find out more at the doctor on Friday. Hopefully they will let me do some more stuff, i really want to go to target or out to dinner!! I did get my hair cut and colored yesterday and i was so excited!!!  I actually got to head to the salon. What a great field trip it was! Oh the simple things in life.... 
Several of our friends have had their babies the past few days and it is making us very excited!

In Memory


Jonathan's grandfather passed away on Sunday. He was such a great man and was always so kind. He was so active even at an older age. Last year we went to his farmhouse and we couldn't keep him from getting on the ladder and trying to clean off the roof! He lived alone and took care of himself and even drove himself to church! I hope i am that active into my 90's.
Here is the obituary that was in the commercial appeal yesterday. 
 GEORGE “G.R.” HARRISON, 93, of Memphis went to meet his Lord on Sunday, March 8, 2009 at Quince Nursing Home. Visitation will be at 10 a.m., Wednesday, March 11, with services following at 11 a.m. at High Point Funeral Chapel, 3788 Summer Ave with burial in Pine Grove Baptist Church Cemetery in Coffeeville, MS. Mr. Harrison was a veteran of World War II. He served his country as a Master Sergeant in the US Army. He was the former owner/operator of Ellis Barber Shop for 40 years. Mr. Harrison was a devoted member and deacon of Charjean Baptist Church. He was preceded to heaven by his wife of 62 years, Myrtie Lois Harrison. He is survived by a daughter, Ginger Martin of Colleyville, TX and a son, Randy Harrison of Memphis, five grandchildren; Michael, Chris and Jonathan Harrison, Jeff Martin and Jennifer Ramos of Euless, TX and two great-grandchildren, Jesse and Elisa.
The funeral is today and i wish i could go. I was unable to go to my grandmothers funeral during christmas also. I will be thinking about my sweet husband and his family today.
Jonathan and i have been very blessed to have such wonderful grandparents. We also have some good genes. My grandfather passed away several years ago but he was 92, my grandmother passed away this christmas and she was 92, and Mr. Harrison was 93. What a blessing to live that long. Think about what all they have seen. I feel like the past 10 years have changed so much can you imagine 90 years. I hope i am fortunate to live that long. Evie and Ramsey will have my dads parents for Great Grandparents. I never knew my great grandparents so i think they are lucky little girls:)

Jonathan and me at the Farmhouse. Mr. Harrison is in the background. This is the house he grew up in. It is the neatest house and we enjoy going down there and "exploring" I learned how to shoot a shot gun here...watch out!

Germantown Girls Shower

This past Saturday my best friends from high school and their moms threw me a baby shower.  It was at Anna's moms house and Mrs. Pennel is quite the baby shower decorator, she is so creative! Several friends and family came in town for the shower, there were over 70 people there. I could not believe it! It took me over an hour to open the wonderful gifts. All the girls put so much time into the decorations and food and they gave us our car seat and graco swing. Jonathan's favorite part about the swing is that is has an ipod hook up. Baby things are so high tech these days!! I have a few pics and i will post more later. Thanks again for everyone who came and to all my girls!! I am truly blessed, Love you all
