Less than 100 days to go!

Dear Aj & Jaydyn,

How exciting is it that Mommy can write this and say that in less than 100 days, I'll be holding you both in my arms, smothering you with smooches and love! I simply can not wait!

More exciting things have happened since my last letter to you both. We've officially hit the 3rd trimester and 6th month mark, and boy is Mommy getting bigger and bigger! Mommy has also officially gained 6 pounds! But according to all the information I'm reading, you two make up about 3lbs of that 6 lbs gain total, and that doesn't include the amniotic fluid you both are swimming around in or that placenta that each of you have that is providing you nutrition through your umbilical cord!

Your Daddy and his brother Jessie (Uncle Jessie as you guys will be calling him) got your room painted as well and it looks AMAZING! It's a muted/dusty blue color called Windsurf! It goes great with the bedding sets we have picked out for you both! Also, your Papaw paid for your mattresses to go in your cribs, so I ordered them today! I'm so excited I can not WAIT for them to get here! Papaw also gave you boys a dresser for your room, so Mommy will have plenty of space to put your clothes away! Putting your room together is going to be so much fun! It will also take a load of Mommy's mind to be able to walk in there and see everything in it's place just waiting for you both!

Karen and Penny (whom you both will be meeting very soon) are also throwing a baby shower, which is like a little welcoming party for you guys before you get her, for Mommy! It's going to be December 12th and Mommy is very excited! I can't wait to see all the great things that people are going to be bringing for you! Everyone is so excited to meet you, but I don't think anyone is as excited as me! I just can't wait to hold you both in my arms!

Anyways, that's the update for now. Mommy goes to the doctor on the 2nd and will have another update then.

I love you both so much. Grow babies grow!

Until my next letter...

Love always,
Mommy

Where is the time going?

Dear precious and beautiful baby boys,

Mommy here. I had planned on writing sooner, but unfortunately things have been way too busy, as usual. I'm hoping that after Christmas things slow down. So much has happened though, and I can't wait to tell you all about it.

First and foremost, everything went GREAT at our ultrasound on the 4th! Unfortunately neither of you were very cooperative though. And you actually played tricks on the ultrasound tech by changing how you were hanging out inside Mommy's belly in the middle of the ultrasound. But they did manage to get Mommy some 3-D pictures of your faces, and both of you are so handsome I can't stand it. Here you both are:





AJ this is you! You were more cooperative about letting us see your adorable little face than your brother Jaydyn was :)



And Mr. Jaydyn this is you! You both are so very very handsome! Look at those adorable faces!

So everything looked great, and they sent us on our way. Mommy goes back to the doctor on December 4th @ 3:00 but it's just a regular check up this time, so Mommy won't get to see you before Christmas.

Your room is coming along wonderfully! Daddy is getting ready to start painting it a beautiful blue color, your Aunt Michelle bought both of you your very own crib, Mommy and Daddy bought you your crib set for your cribs, Mommy also made you some cute art work to match the blankets we bought you, and all I have to do once Daddy gets done painting is to set the room up and buy your dresser. I'll post pictures of what we have for your nursery here shortly! You both are going to have just the cutest room ever!

Mommy realized she hasn't put a picture up of her or Daddy to show you since she started writing you letters. So I thought I would post a picture for both of you to see and keep if you wanted to.

This is Mommy and Daddy on our 4th Wedding Anniversary!

Isn't he the best? He can't wait to meet you! And I can't believe we're so close to meeting you. Mommy was 23 weeks along yesterday, which means we've only got about 13 weeks to go! Mommy can't believe it. It seems like time has just flown by! I'm so excited, and nervous about your arrival. I want to be the best Mommy I can be to both of you. I love you both so much!

Anyways, there's a quick update on how things are going. I'll be writing you again before your arrival. I love you both so much. Keep getting big and strong in there for Mommy and Daddy. We want you to be as healthy as you can possibly be that way we can avoid a NICU stay (if that's God's will for you and us)!

Til next time...

I love you always,
Mommy
