Konrad learns to give Rasberries!

Konrad has now mastered the art of giving Raspberries! He was going through a biting phase so now instead of biting he gives Raspberries.

His favorite is to give Raspberries to my belly (the babies). Do you think it is the same effect as tapping on a fish tank?

33 weeks and counting...

It has been a little harder than I imagined to update the blog weekly so I guess now it is every two weeks!

Can't believe it is almost 33 weeks of pregnancy. Last Dr. Appt was great and both babies and mother are healthy. They just need to hold on a few more weeks and all should be fine. We have almost everything ready at home for the arrival. At least as ready as we can be!

Konrad is doing great. He loves to listen to music and dance. I think his North Dakota blood wins over his dancing style because he stomps his foot and claps his hands when he dances. Konrad wants to help with whatever we are doing. When I make cookies now he has to have his own bowl and measuring cups as well. I pour in a little dry cereal for him to stir around even though it usually ends up all over the floor.

We are at Thomas's parents (Oma and Opas) house for a week of vacation. Konrad loves to explore the house and go places with Oma and Opa. It is a nice vacation for me as well since there are lots of people to entertain and take care of Konrad. The aches and pains of twin pregnancy are more prevalent (hips aching, sore back, etc.). I am enjoying just relaxing, lying down, reading and watching movies. Once the new babies are here I am sure it will be awhile before I can do all of those things again.

Enjoy the pictures! The picture of my belly is from 2 weeks ago (31 weeks). The one of Thomas and Konrad is at the gardens of a near by castle taken last week. There are also two of Konrad helping to mix the cookie dough.

Just getting started...7 July 2008

Just getting started with this blog. I thought it would be nice to have a spot where family and friends could visit to have a little update of our family (especially now that it is getting bigger) since I don't seem to find enough time to write to everyone frequently. For now we are all doing fine. Konrad is growing fast and always busy! My belly(with the twins) is also growing quickly. Just 30 weeks today and had last visit to Dr. yesterday and all is great. Thomas is in the Philippines this week for work and thankfully his mother is staying with Konrad and I.

Will try to post a few pictures.
