27 weeks!

Holiday Greetings everyone! Things are going pretty much the same over here. We had our weekly appointment yesterday and the boys are growing! Nico was measuring at 2 lbs 7 oz and Blake was 2 lbs 2 oz. I really wanted him to be over the 2 lb mark so I was really happy! Nico had his eyes halfway open and Blake was playing with his hands. Too precious!

My cervix is short, but hadn't changed since the previous week. Our hope is to ring in the new year at home on the couch and not on hospital bed rest. The next few weeks are pretty crucial for the boys to keep growing.

I am hanging in there, but have my moments. I've had some more visitors, so that has helped. It's a really strange time of year to not be active in the outside world. Jeff is super busy trying to get prints, Cds, etc, to clients before Christmas. Needless to say, we aren't doing the usual Christmas routine. Our wonderful neighbors, who continue to amaze us with their kindness, brought over a cute mini- Christmas tree with lights on it that we have up in the living room. (otherwise known as my bedroom/ family room/ dining room, etc)

I must admit, though, that as the year dwindles to a close I am realizing more and more that we are going to have 2 babies in our house before we know it. Part of me is so excited to meet them and move out of the pregnancy chapter and into the parenthood chapter. Another part of me is scared out of my mind! We know that we are going to need the help of family and friends to get us through, especially at the beginning. So, if you LOVE to hold babies and you are nearby, load up on that Vitamin C because we will be welcoming all the help we can get!

Again, we send you our love during this holiday time and thank you for your continued support! We wouldn't have come this far without it!

Hugs and kisses and may Santa fulfill all your Christmas wishes,
Rebeca and Jeff
