Lord of the Rings: The Two Cankles

Don't adjust your computer monitor - those aren't hobbit feet you're looking at. They're the "feet" and cankles of a lady 8 months pregnant with twins - forged in the fires of Mordor. My ankles have become cankles because it's hard to tell where the calf ends and the ankle begins. They're bloated to twice their size. I guess since my pregnancy has gone so well, I can deal with some cankles, but they're none too pretty to gaze upon. And they itch. What's a girl to do? At least they're not hairy like the hobbit feet. Could be worse, right? Is it too early to start wearing flip flops?

Week 31

...Getting closer to the due date! Mark and I took an infant CPR class this week, which scared the bejeezus out of both of us, I think. But being the goofs we are, we couldn't let this photo-op pass and we snuck some pictures when no one was looking.

Oh man. Dad's feeling what it will be like with 2 baby girls - won't be long now! It will be especially lovely if they're both crying like they appear to be doing in this picture. Or maybe they're just singing Bohemian Rhapsody....

Ah - the choking baby action shot. This is where you turn the infant over and whack them firmly on the back. Hopefully, the bambinas will remember to chew every bite thoroughly before swallowing. And though they look delicious and it is sometimes hard to resist, eating legos is a bad idea.

The Landlord

I think this is the best thing Will Ferrell has ever done. The video itself has been removed from YouTube for the longest time, but I accidentally found it on another website. Enjoy it now because it may not be here very much longer.

30 Week Sonogram

Yesterday, Mark and I went to have our 30 week sonogram taken. They were able to get a clear shot of "Baby A's" face. The nurse said she had a "pouty" look on her face. Pouty?!!?! I think it's clear that this child is a perfect mixture of Kilroy from the Mr. Roboto video and Mr. Bill. What do YOU think?

Marisue's Birthday

Here we are celebrating Marisue's Birthday (in the plum shirt) at JP's Winebar downtown. It was a cold night, but we had a really great time and met some fun new friends! Not only are the cocktails, appetizers, and wine good at JP's, the ice water is exquisite!!! I had plenty of it while doing my best Delta Burke impression - the camera adds 10 lbs, y'all. -KK

The Girls' Nursery (Phase 2)

Mom and dad finally got the dresser they ordered for us nearly a month ago. It came yesterday and they said it looks better than they remembered. Now they will begin phase 2 of our nursery, which will consist of hanging more artwork on the wall and putting our clothes into the dresser and closet.

Mom also spent some time putting our new stuffed animal friends in our crib so we'll have someone to snuggle with when we get there. We have our frog humidifier ready to go, too. We think dad has been using it lately because we've heard him complaining about the dry winter air. Mom made us a bulletin board to go above the dresser and we will soon put pictures of ourselves there.
