New Nephews

Last night, Kris and I went to see the newest additions to the LeRoy family: our new nephews Sam and Luke. They were born Thursday, 7 weeks early, but they are healthy and happy...and too cute for words. They are tiny but they are doing so well and progressing each day. Little Sam showed us his precious little eyes, while Luke snoozed. It's amazing how similar they look, yet seem so different too. I can't wait to see how their little personalities develop as they grow.

This has been an exciting time waiting for all these new LeRoy boys to arrive and now that the twins are here, it's starting to hit me more that we are about to become parents. I've been nesting pretty hardcore lately and there's really not much left to organize/get in order before our little boy arrives. But, I still have that feeling of "what if we forget to do something before he gets here?" It hit me last night that there will always be something to do, whether baby is here or not, so I'm trying to let it go and not focus so much on stuff that still needs to be done and focus more on enjoying these last few weeks of pregnancy. It's hard to believe that I've been pregnant for 36 weeks now and that we are less than a month away from meeting our little guy. I can't wait. Kris is like a little boy at Christmas time waiting for presents. I love his excitement. The girls have started a countdown on the little dry erase board on our fridge too. We are definitely ready to see our baby!

At my doctor's appointment this week, my doctor told me that 37 weeks is considered full-term, so if I happen to go into labor anytime after that, then they won't try to stop it. I don't think I'll be going into labor in the next week (or anytime soon for that matter), but it still seems crazy to think we are so close! As long as he's healthy, I really don't mind when he decides to come. I can't wait to hold him though. :)
