12 Weeks!

The Baby Shower/Pamper Party was a lot of fun. It turned out exactly how I wanted it to be. It was great. Thanks to all who helped out getting it all set up and going. It was perfect! We got some great stuff and had a ton of fun. Thanks to all who came, it was good seeing everyone and having a little relaxation after the past 2 1/2 months of crazy. TJ's sister, Toni, made an amazing cake for the party as well, which turned out so great. It was perfect as well. I'll get my pictures on my computer and post them.

We also got the girls room mostly done. We're still missing a couple things, but we'll get them here soon. Here is what it looks like. TJ did the painting so great. Our good friend Jesse helped do the chair rail and the great canopies over the bed Shawnah found online. It is exactly what we wanted.
The night of the shower, we called the hospital to check in on the girls, and we found out that Kenedi had hit 5 lbs. These past two weeks, they just shot up in size and weight. It is crazy. Kandis took an extra week, but she hit 5 lbs today. So, now we officially can fit in car seats! They are eating like champions, both taking breast feeding good. Kandis is doing better on the bottle feeding. Taking some whole feedings by bottle. Kenedi is slower at learning, but she's working at it.

We ended up not being able to see the girls until Tuesday, which we still played it safe. They both ended up getting a stuffy nose like us anyway! Must have gotten the germs before we started staying away. Sorry girls!

We went to the State Fair and Rodeo on Sunday evening with TJ's parents. Was a lot of fun. We saw Jamey Johnson after the Rodeo, who was terribly boring. He didn't even smile or talk to the audience or nothing. Just sang in his almost monotone voice. Blah. The Rodeo was great though. Plus, Shawnah got her turkey leg, which she craves all year long, and TJ got his fried cheesecake, which is amazing if you've never tried one.
Tonight, we went to the UNM/NM State game. We had VIP passes to the tailgating party put on by Lobo Radio, which was awesome. Free food from Nothin' but Noodles and free beer! Can't go wrong. We only ended up staying until half time, because it was getting so late and we had to be back to bathe the girls, but State ended up winning! Yea!
