Where did this year go??????

21 weeks

Today I am 21 weeks exactly! It's seeming to go a lot faster. In fact I know I don't have much time left before I am completely immobile or put on more bedrest so I have been very busy. I have been working on getting the twins room ready and am very proud with how it's turning out :)


* On a quick side now we think we have settled on a boy name, Henry William Davis. We already know we are keeping Emma Maria Davis for sure :)


So, Remember this:

It has now turned into this:

I still need to get the middle drawers knobs. I am going to get pink for the pink for Emma's side, green/blue (haven't decided yet) for the middle drawers, and of course orange for the Henry's side.

Idea of course is that the pink side will be Emma's side, orange side will be Henry's side and the middle will be diapers, socks, miscellaneous that works for both of them :)

I still need to get the diaper changing pads on this though, got the idea from this pinterest post:

So cute huh?!

Here are other projects I have been busy doing for the twins room:

* We decided to go with something neutral that would work for both. I'm kinda sick of the whole zoo theme that is always used for babies rooms so I wanted to do something different (only now I found out.. it's actually a big thing.. go figure!) I'm still claiming I came up with it first haha. We wanted to do a woodland theme room.

Inspiration came from this fabric I found:

Here is Henry's crib blanket:

His has orange backing. Emma's will have pink ( just need to finish hers)

Here are the curtains:

An picture wall art ( Need to finish Henry's ):

I think it's turning out cute so far! Still need cribs, bumpers, and a rug. Also there is a bench ( I will get a picture of later ) that I am going to turn into a toybox/reading nook so I need to get a pad for it and put the fabric on and get the pillows sewn.. oh boy.. this all may not be done by the time they get here! Had a doctors appointment yesterday ( everything looked great! ) but she told me I need to start really taking it easy. This is going to be soooo hard! I am going to force myself to do it for the babies but I am just not one to sit around and do nothing. I always have to busy.. I will survive!

On another side note, I have had a swollen lymph node in my right armpit for.. years now.. don't even know how long but it's never bothered my, except that it protrudes out some, only I could really notice but that was all. Doc said I could have it surgically removed if it bothered me but nothing to be worried about ( this was when I was about 18 )

Well a couple weeks ago it started to swell more and is really tender :( So I asked my doc about it and she is sending me to a specialist today to look at it and make sure it's not Lymphoma ( a kind of lymph node cancer ).

I am sooooo nervous! I have of course been researching everything about it and so far it looks like I could be in the clear and that it's just a normal thing that swells when pregnant BUT it's always better to be safe than sorry! SO I will keep you posted.

Well as if this post isn't long enough already here are a few more things that happened the last few weeks:

Sisa's ADORABLE new haircut:

And a little family Christmas party because one of my brothers will be in California for Christmas:

I'm so sad it turned out so grainy! I was trying out a new technique I read up on about taking  Christmas tree photos and it involved the shutter speed setting.. apparently I don't know exactly what I am doing lol.. the color turned out great! And the lights glitter beautifully but everyone is grainy :( I still have a lot to learn! And practice makes perfect right?

Being Thankful + 19 1/2 Weeks

Thanksgiving came and went way to fast this year.. infact this entire year, season.. everything is going way to fast. In a way I am thankful for it because I can't wait till I get to hold my 2 little babes in my arms :) But at the same time.. I don't want it to go by to quick because we have been trying to enjoy as much time as we can with just our little Sisa!


Thanksgiving day 


We headed over to Devins moms for some yummy Thanksgiving dinner. I had the task of bringing pie. We decided rather than buy store bought we were going to hand make them from scratch this year. We made an Apple Crisp, Banana Cream (my fav), and we tried a pumpkin pie cake (delicious!) Should have gotten pictures but they all turned out delicious!


After dinner at Dev's moms we went to my moms for some MORE food. Talk about being stuffed!


That is one thing I am definitely thankful for, family. I am also thankful for how close both of our families are. 


We decided to skip the FULL black friday events this year. We did go to Walmart for the 10 o'clock sale because they had $5 princess barbies! Sis really loves princess's this year. Can't wait to give them to her :) Next day we ended up hitting some stores Old Navy, Shopko, K-Mart. But that was about the extent of it this year.. I just get WAY to tired and worn out.. hmm.. wonder why?


We did get our Christmas decorations up that weekend tho :)

Sisa is really loving Christmas this year which is really exciting. She loves learning the Christmas songs and has been singing them non stop.


My work had a Christmas party the following week at Elements. The food was delicious and I stuffed myself about as much as I did for Thanksgiving; 4 course meal! Yay.. stuffed! Awesome part.. our work gave everyone Kindles!


I'd tell you how it is but....

I've been trying to get a turn from her!


19 1/2 Weeks

Now for the fun part :) We got to find out what we are having last Monday and welcome.....

Emma Marie Davis

And 

Samuel William Davis 

( name is still up for debate haha )

We are so excited! A little boy and a little girl! We thought having a boy was impossible! But we would have never thought we were going to have twins either so I think we can officially say a miracle (or 2) was most definitely sent our way :)


Can't wait till they are officially here :)
