Hello everyone! I am finally back home after 8 weeks and 2 days in the hospital. Thank you to everyone for all the thoughts and prayers over the last few months. We are finally in the home stretch, I am now 34 weeks + 2 days. Being home is wonderful. I am so thankful to have some time to spend with Buddy and Brylie at home before the boys arrive. Although I am still on restricted bed rest, I am able to get up and move from each level of the house once a day and take a shower. Buddy has been a super Dad and Husband these past few months, from visiting me every day to spending lots of time with Brylie and taking care of all the baby stuff. Brylie turns 2 next Saturday, April 12th. She is so much fun, talking up a storm! She loves to sing, read books, go to the library, the park and feed the ducks at the duck pond. Her favorite things, aside from her weekly library books are 4 Little Einstein Flash Cards - June, Quincy, Annie & Leo, which she carries with her everywhere. She even takes the to bed and puts them night night on her ottoman. She sings to them, plays hide and seek, hugs them and kisses them! Needless to say her birthday theme will be Little Einsteins. One of the sweetest thing she said recently to her Dad was, "Daddy you are my Best Friend", completely out of the blue. From that quote, you can tell how much quality time her and Buddy have had over the past few months. Bailey, Austin, Pam and Shawn came over on Tuesday, April 1st to celebrate Bailey's 6th birthday - they all had so much fun and after they left, Brylie kept saying - "That was Fun". Looks like we will definitely have 2 more April birthday's in the family, the boys are scheduled to arrive on April 25th (Buddy's Birthday), unless they decide to come earlier on their own. They measure about 5lbs each now and are definitely running out of room! We are looking forward to their arrival and continue to pray for healthy babies and a safe arrival. Any advice that the veteran twin parents have for us on surviving the first couple of weeks is welcome - feel free to email me!
On the job front - Despite the slowdown in the housing market, Charlotte is still hanging in there - AC Lynn Homes sold their first spec house in January and have a closing date of April 10th for the 2nd spec house. They are currently working on a basement job and are bidding on a few others. They finished a commercial up fit for a Jimmy John's sub shop in March and are expecting repeat business as the owner plans to open up another franchise early summer. Bank of America has been wonderful to me - I have been able to continue to work full-time throughout my 3 month bedrest and plan to work the next few weeks as much as I can. It has really helped to make the days go by faster, especially in the hospital. I think that about brings everyone up to date on our family. We will keep everyone posted on the big day!! My home email is amieedwards@carolina.rr.com and buddy's is buddyedwards@carolina.rr.com.
