Blog title suggestions, anyone?

OK, so we are gearing up for our growing family and think it's time to update the blog header! Any new title suggestions?? Feel free to post a comment with any cute ideas!!! My brain is not working, so I'm not coming up with any real contenders. I definitely think it should be something about Matt and his girls or at least something about 3 girls or 3 sisters....hmmm....any ideas???

Our growing babies!

Here are our twins at 21 weeks!! We got some really good pictures last week! I finally remembered to ask that he print pictures of the "between-the-legs-shot" where we have proof for my scrapbook that they are girls :-) . I've had so many sonos already, but I hadn't gotten that picture printed yet. We also got some good pictures straight on of their faces and really sweet profile pictures. Conley is 14 oz and Cooper is 13 oz, so they are getting close to 1 lb each, right where they should be! Cooper is still head down very low, and Conley is still up high in the "penthouse" as Dr. Graham said :-) . Conley's head was actually on my left side 2 weeks ago with her body down my right side, and now her head is on my right side with her body across my stomach and her feet on my left, so she is sideways at the moment and has totally flipped from her position 2 weeks ago! I imagine there will be a time in the near future that it will become more difficult for her to move like that!!

Our praise is that the girls are doing so well, and our prayers are that they are perfectly comfortable and stay put for another 16+ weeks!! Thanks for your continued prayers!!
Sweet Profiles - Conley is Twin B and Cooper is Twin A

They are definitely girls!!

Here are their faces and their full bellies!

A hot day at the Ft. Worth Zoo!

We ventured out to the Fort Worth Zoo on Saturday! It was hot, but it was fun and not too crowded. My dad and sister were able to go with us as well as my grandparents and aunt. Everyone enjoyed seeing Campbell talk about all the animals. It was a really nice day! Here are just a few of the many pictures that we took. It was pretty cool that when we went into the bird atrium, we were able to feed a couple birds, and Matt even got one to get on his finger.

Make sure to check out all 3 new posts! I'm playing catch-up right now!

WARNING - bare pregnant belly alert!!

I do apologize for anyone who does NOT want to see this! I'm sure most people frown on bare belly pictures posted on blogs. Oh well! I just thought I'd show my progress over the past 18 weeks for those of you that I don't get to see very often. Here I have pictures at 4 weeks, 9 1/2 weeks and 18 weeks. Campbell enjoys joining in the belly pictures as well!

4 WEEKS - I know this isn't that exciting, but I want to see the full effect over my pregnancy, so this was my starting point.























9 1/2 WEEKS





















18 WEEKS - Campbell and I tried to do a belly-to-belly shot and then of course she gave her sisters kisses - so sweet!! She is also sporting what I refer to as her "wild woman" hairdo in these pictures as well!























































Introducing water wings!!

Last year we could not get Campbell to embrace water wings. This year, she thinks they are just fine! She's still a little nervous when we let go of her, but we've now had her in the pool with them twice and she's already gotten a lot braver. Matt is working with her to teach her that she can swim independently with them, and I think she is really going to enjoy them once she learns to get around on her own. She also has her swim lessons in just a couple weeks, so I'm sure those will help a great deal too! Here are some pictures of our little fishy!!

Here she is modeling one of her many swimsuits for this summer! This year she even likes to help pick out which one she wants to wear


Here she is with Aunt Kiki


Here she is jumping in. Matt tries to get her to jump to him without holding his fingers, but she grabs on with her death grip and won't let go!



Here she is floundering about as Matt lets go of her. She did great!

She loves her Daddy!!


Here she is swimming solo!! Good job Campbell!


Nurse Kay-kay!!

Matt's sister Katie graduated from Midwestern's Nursing School a couple of weeks ago!! We had a fun-filled graduation weekend. We went to Wichita Falls on Friday for her pinning ceremony, graduation and luncheon on Saturday and a party at Gigi's on Sunday where Nurse Kay-kay handed out "shots" to everyone - so fun! Here are some pictures!

Here are Campbell and Kay-kay after the pinning ceremony
