The Green Family

Wow it has been a long time since I blogged! Everyone is probably used to it though :) Sorry I am such a slacker but it never seems like much is going on over here. I decided to do a quick update on Claire and show a belly pic so everyone can see how the twins are doing.

In the fall we took Claire to the Union Station to see the trains. She LOVES trains or Choo choo's as she calls them. Whenever she see's a train she says "My Choo Choo!" She had so much fun seeing all of the big trains up close.

Claire has a new found love for Snow White. The funniest part about this is that her favorite part of the movie Snow White is the 'Scary Witch'. She is always so concerned when the 'Scary Witch' isn't part of the scene and I have to tell her just to be content with watching Snow White. So funny that she likes the creepiest parts of the show!

Claire is now 2 and is so big! She loves Mickey Mouse Clubhouse so we had a Mickey Mouse party. In this pic she is standing in front of the game we played, put the bow on Minnie. Claire is growing so fast! Her talking has really taken off. She knows all her numbers 1-12 (thanks to our clock that we practice on at breakfast), she can recognize almost all of the major colors, and she even knows a lot of shapes. She is so much fun and is so smart! Her favorite game is playing 'I Spy'. It was a good game to distract her at the store and in the car but now it seems like she wants to play it all the time! She even requests it when she is in bed falling asleep! We are running out of things to spy!

Here is Claire in her super cute halloween costume. Of course she was Minnie Mouse. I wish I had a pic from Halloween night because she had wiskers and eyelashes drawn on her face but those pics are on Grandma's camera.

And last but certainly not least here is a prego pic taken about a week ago at 25 1/2 weeks. I am now almost 27 weeks and feeling great! I am very full of babies but they are growing well. I know a lot of you are thinking that I am not very big for only having 10 weeks left and being prego with twins. I get this a lot. Even my OB forgets that there are twins in there. I guess I just carry them all on the inside. My grandma had twins and they didn't know there were two babies until she was delivering. I always wondered how a doctor could miss something like that but if she carried her twins like me then I can understand how if could be mistaken for one baby.

Well, our family is doing great and the time is fast approaching when we will become a family of five! I am so excited to meet these two babies but getting more nervous each day for that newborn stage! I know we will survive but life will be hectic.
