A long over due update

OK, OK, so we have been rather neglectful in keeping folks up to date via our blog... somehow our inner introverts didn't adjust well to the "broadcast" mode of communication (not that we were all that great with the one-on-one things either, but that's a lament for another day...).

So what's shaking, you might ask? Well, we are less than three weeks away from our due date and have officially hit the large and uncomfortable stage of things... swelling in the hands and feet, difficulty bending and stretching and moving in general... back to being tired and exhausted most of the time...

That being said, we're actually doing really well! :-) We're measuring as we should be, we haven't gained too much weight, the babies are in head down positions, and their heart rates are good. There are no signs of preeclampsia, gestational diabetes, or anything else. The babies are moving well and we've both started having Braxton-Hicks contractions every now & again.

I hate to say it, but probably the most exciting thing this week for us has been the installation of a new kitchen floor. :-) It's been a long time coming, to say the least (about four years in the making)... the guy that installed it was excellent, meticulous and thorough (so if anyone needs a referral for contractor stuff, we definitely have a number for you!

Oh, yeah, and Diana's last day of work is this Friday... the transition from working professional to stay at home mom will be an interesting one for her (and deserving of it's own blog entry)... we'll keep you posted on how that adjustment goes! :-)

And we *will* get more pictures up on the blog... just as soon as Julie finds the cable to download the pictures...

As always, we appreciate the love and joy and attention folks have been sending our way... we can't wait to introduce our kids to you all!
