Almost to SIX MONTHS!

I can't believe it. Time is flying - as it always seems to do. Next week we will be 24 weeks. I'm still feeling great (minus these stupid allergies that I can't seem to shake) and we are busy starting to get things planned for the babies.

We finalized their names, so you can officially refer to them as Addisyn Grace and Gavin Harwick. Gavin's middle name is in memory and honor of Nate's grandfather who was and is an amazing man. We plan to pass many funny stories on to the kids that came from Nate's grandfather - like using 409 to clean everything and the thousands of funny sayings he would use.

Last week I went to a jewelery party that my friend Julie is starting to sell and was just relaxing in a chair when my arm bumped up and moved without me doing it! It was so cool... since then Adie and Gavin have been bumping all over my tummy and it's been really cool to see when they are active. Nate and I have also been listening to "underwater" sounds through a stethescope on my belly at night. It is kind of funny.

Nate finally got to feel them bump me yesterday during church. It isn't very frequent in one place yet, so he kept missing it every time I felt them.

In other news, we bought the paint for the nursery and will begin that as our next project, so I will certainly keep everyone posted on the nursery progress... no theme, just things that we like.

Have a wonderful week!!

Baby Bump Progress- 20 Weeks

Here is a photo of the bump to date from our recent vacation to Charlevoix! More updates on our trip to come... including a photo of the "mother-ship" as Nate likes to call it. You can call it the truck. LOL!

Genders Reveal...

It's official!! We are having a:

BOY: (it took them all of two seconds to tell what he was, LOL)

and a...

GIRL: (she was a little more difficult to decipher, so we came back to her. The tech checked her twice though just to be 100% certain!)

!! We couldn't be happier. We are so blessed to be welcoming one of each to our family and we're both really excited to start the planning process.

Here is a group shot of everyone:

So at our ultrasound appointment we brought Grammie April and Beema Becky to share in the fun. My mom has never seen an ultrasound before so once they were on the "big screen" the waterworks began! :) It was really fun to share the time with the both of them and celebrate right away the genders. I think they both had a nice time too!

After that we visited Aunt Shea at Kate Spade. She had already hit up baby GAP too and gave the babies their first onesies:

Then mom, Nate and I hit up baby GAP ourselves and had a little fun:

Needless to say the babies will be clothed!

Now to start getting the necessities...
