Early B-day shopping.

Thank you mom and dad for my b-day card and check. I went shopping for a new maternity outfit. I had the best luck finding clothes that fit me at Sears. I also bought some extra pieces to make two more outfits. Barry took some pictures of me in my new clothes. We also went and registered at Babies R Us. It was so much fun to scan items for our wish list. We know not to expect too much from the list, but there are some really cute items for our girls. I don't know if I will have a baby shower before the babies get here. I might wait until family comes to visit and then do a small baby shower. I can't stop thinking about having two brand new babies to take care of. I dream about them all night long while I toss and turn trying to get comfortable. I get my best sleep when Barry gets up early and then I can hog the whole bed. He has been so nice to me, taking me shopping and going to craft stores looking for items for the girl's room. Has anyone seen those felt stocking kits at Michaels? Because I can't find them at any craft store around here. I want to make the cute stockings for my girls before they get here. See if you can find any in your town and let me know. Erica, didn't you make them for your kids? Lisa, and Tiffy, didn't you also make them for your kids too? OK, here are the pictures of me at 5 months pregnant. My camera takes blurry pictures. You can see the tan pants and the blue shirt. They both have lots of room to grow really big.
Here is a front shot of the black pants and a blue and white stripped shirt.
Here is a side shot showing my growing belly.
Front view of a different shirt and the same black pants. Side view of the same outfit. I will update my pictures when I grow bigger next month.

You look so cute Shelly! I hate how we all live so far away from each other. It would be fun to see you. I gave Anna and Liv's clothes down to Rhiannon and toys to Ryder and Racer. I don't have any baby things left. :( I will look on your registry when you send it out though--it will be fun to pick things out for your girls. I got their stocking kits from Wal-mart and on line. Here's a site I just googled by typing in Bucilla (the brand of felt stocking)--www.plaidcraftexpress.com/
search.aspx?q=stockings&catID=0&tab=

Love E

Oh yeah, I got the book today too. I will get on it this weekend and send it out the beginning of next week to Debbie. It looks simple--thank goodness!

Thanks for the info Erica. I will look online for the stockings. Yes, the book is simple so hopefully everyone will do it. I like how I look now that my tummy is getting bigger. It's fun being pregnant and telling everyone about my identical twin girls.

Love, Shelly

It is fun being pregnant... for the most part. Are you feeling them move now? The outfits look nice and you are looking so cute.

I love the clothes you picked and you look good in them. I thought of names for the twins--Brenna McKenna and Chantrell McKell :) Their nicknames would be Kenni and Kelli (haha)

Michelle Lee said...

Mom, are you being funny or serious? The middle names are cute but I think Barry and I are going to keep the names we already picked. I haven't felt the babies move yet. I think they have to get bigger before I can feel them through my fat belly. When I see them on the ultrasound, they move around alot. I have another doctor's appt on Feb 1 and another ultrasound on Feb 14. I will keep everyone updated on any news.

Happy Birthday Shelly! Thanks for the encouraging comments on my post. I realized why I was feeling blue--I really think it was because of Pres. Hinkley's passing. I left a message on your cell phone wishing you a happy birthday. Call me if you can. I am sending the book to Debbie tomorrow (Tuesday). Love ya!

DJ said...
