Happy Holidays!

Tommy and I have been working hard to get ready for the Eason girls' arrival. Since my last post, the cribs have arrived! Tommy put them together and they look great in the nursery! Other than hanging the pictures in the room, the nursery is finished. My mom, grandmother, Tommy and I decorated the house for Christmas as well. My parents will be coming to Greenville for Christmas. This will be the first Christmas since I was 5 that I have not been in Elizabethtown. I am still getting used to the idea of not being there for Christmas. It will be fun to celebrate in our new house and will be much easier on me. The girls had their second fetal echocardiograms on Wednesday. The pediatric cardiologist was pleased with their heart development but would like to perform an echocardiogram on Twin B the day she is born and an echocardiogram on Twin A at 6-8 weeks to make sure their hearts are okay. This is a little scary but the doctor explained that it was percautionary. We went to the OB on Thursday and received a good report. The OB measured my belly at 31 weeks I was measuring 36 weeks, which is normal for twins. We go back on December 18, after which we will go weekly and get an ultrasound at each visit. Overall, I am still feeling good. It is getting harder for me to breathe as the babies (and my organs) are beginning to push on my lungs but otherwise I am feeling good. On Thursday, my friends from the gym (the gym rats) surpised me with a shower and lunch. Since we normally workout at lunch, I know it was a sacrifice for them to skip the gym and go eat buffet! Yesterday afternoon Tommy's baseball team surprised him with a shower. I was in on it, and keeping it a surprise was difficult but he was surprised. The PCC Baseball team and some of their parents were there. The guys did a great job with their shopping. The girls received their first cell phones, pink softball gloves, Michael Jordan onesies (from the 2 guys from Chicago), Pink PCC baseball onesies, hooded onesies (since Tommy gives his guys a hard time about wearing hooded sweatshirts, diapers, and lots more! It was a lot of fun. More pictures coming soon.
