27 weeks

27 weeks photo

Picture to come soon, I just was getting a little behind on my Journals and I want to remember all the details.

How far along: 27 weeks

Total Weight Gain: 18 lbs, yeah! I'm doing good but still on the low end for twins but my Dr. is much happier now! I think its all the late night runs to Yogurtland, our new obsession. I'm going to have to eat a whole lot more though to reach my Drs. recommended target weight gain of 45-50 lbs! Yes 50 lbs, I think that is crazy.

Maternity Clothes: Pants all maternity & tops mostly but I still have several regular tops I can wear too.

Stretch Marks: no

Sleep: Sometimes, Brian got me a body pillow that is a tremendous help.

Best Moment of the week: Knowing I'm finished Christmas shopping, the car is packed, and next week is vacation. Also seeing sweet pictures of Baby Girl Lloyd (Jon's new baby, one of Brian's best friends) who was born on December 20th. 

Movement: Yes lots especially from 10pm-12:00am they are little night owls just like their moma. They can be rather feisty.

Food Cravings: Ice

Symptoms: Leg cramps, back pain 

Wedding Rings on or off: on

Looking Forward to: Going to Louisville for the week and celebrating Christmas time, seeing all my family and friends and my Louisville shower. Big week ahead little ones so please don't give me any problems!

Happy or Moody:  A little stressed, Brian says I'm the only person he knows that gets stressed out about going away, there are always just a million things to do right before a trip and then add the holidays on top of it and that equals stress, but I'm generally Happy!

Tiffany's Wedding Pictures

I never got around to posting the rest of the pictures from our vacation. Here are the photos from the wedding day and reception. We had a great time and Tiffany was a beautiful bride. Some of my favorite details from the wedding were the church bench pews, instead of chairs for the ceremony on the beach, the handmade bouttiners that Tiffany made for the groomsmen were beautiful and very shabby chic, and I also loved the glow stick send off.

Brian was jealous of Lonnie's "fit" for the wedding so he literally went out and got a bow tie for the ceremony an hour before. And I thought girls were the only ones who made last minute fashion decisions that entailed hitting a store an hour before a wedding. He did look rather handsome though.

Thanksgiving 2012

This was our last year celebrating Thanksgiving in the Big Apple. We are glad we got to spend it with my family doing all the New York City holiday traditions.

We are so blessed to have an awesome family and we had a wonderful Thanksgiving week in New York. I'm looking forward to seeing all of my Louisville Family next at Christmas time. 

Stephen & Sylvia's Wedding

The weekend before Thanksgiving my cousin Stephen married his girlfriend of 8 years in a beautiful wedding ceremony overlooking the Hudson River. They were the lucky couple who won a free wedding a year ago. My dad's whole family came in from Louisville, Atlanta, and Florida and we had a little Willett family reunion. The wedding was a blast. Also it was my 79 year old Grandma's first time to NYC and we did some fun sight seeing with her. It was a great kick off to the Thanksgiving week.
