27 week appointment

We had our 27 week appointment yesterday with an ultrasound and both babies continue to be healthy and are growing well! Wright is bigger than Kate, but the doctor is not concerned at all. They both tend to stay on my right side very close to each other. It makes getting a clear picture really difficult. They continue to move often and were yawning and stretching during the ultrasound. What a miracle!

Books, Books Everywhere

Table full of books...everyone signed the books they brought so we would always know who they came from

I love to read and was looking forward to my library shower this past Saturday in Sumter. It was so nice to see family and friends. We received so many wonderful books of all types...from Baby's First Bibles, Nursery Rhymes, animals, ABC's and the list goes on. What an amazing start to our library. Now Mr. Dinkins has to build a bookshelf! It was so special to see which books people would bring that they have enjoyed themselves or reading to their own children. I look forward to many, many memories reading to Kate and Wright and hope that they share in my love of books.

My first baby shower was this past Sunday in Savannah! The shower was wonderful! It was so nice to be with some of my closest friends and celebrate the upcoming arrival of Kate and Wright. Friends hosted a brunch at the Olde Pink House in Savannah which is beautiful and such a treat. The menu was fantastic, decorations so thoughtful and the company even better. We received beautiful gifts and I am overwhelmed with gratitude. The nursery feels like it is coming together especially as I added sweet gowns and blankets to the drawers of the new furniture. Our glider recently arrived and the cribs are in place. I am 25 weeks and feeling Kate and Wright move more and more. They enjoy music and are especially active shortly after I eat! She seems to be more active and tends to "wake up" around 4:30 each morning...just preparing mommy for the months ahead!

They will attend their first Clemson football game this weekend! I am looking forward to a weekend in the mountains with family, cool weather and the start of football!
