27 Weeks

This past week was a great week. On Wednesday I went to the doctor for another check up. Everything is still looking great with me and the babies. On Friday I actually flew to Hilton Head Island to spend the weekend with my mom and aunts. It was a perfect get away to relax, get some sun, and laugh (I have seriously not laughed that hard in a long time). I am so blessed to be close to my mom and her sisters. My aunts have always had a big part in my life and I am thankful the twins will have several strong Christian women to love and support them.

Here's my mom and I at dinner: 

27 Weeks Pregnant:

This past week mom also gave me the paintings she did for the twin's bedroom. The paintings will hang above their cribs.
Here's the one for above the girl's bed:

I am so thankful for a crafty mom. She has truly been a blessing helping with the nursery. Here's the start of the baby boy's bedding:
