Well don't put it past my wife to host a brunch for 60+ people when she is less then 2 months away from having twins. The walk was a huge success. A ton of people showed up in support of Neil plus we raised a bunch of money for the 2007 Komen Race for the Cure. The brunch was a great way for everyone to catch up and get to know some new folks as well. We had to fill the neighbors in on what was happening beforehand so the pink balloons did not send a signal for everyone to come rushing over to see the girls. Click here for more pictures of the brunch. If someone has the group picture from the walk please send it our way!
Fortunately for Elizabeth she got to eat some of the cupcakes at the brunch after the results came back negative from the gestational diabetes tests. I had no idea that women could develop a form of diabetes during pregnancy. It only affects about 4% of pregnant women annually, but the risks are much higher for mothers of multiples. Needless to say it was a great day for everyone. Not only did Elizabeth not have to worry about a restricted diet, but Pearce and I did not have to worry about Elizabeth being on a restricted diet (see picture from Halloween in July - it is really almost Halloween now!). But enough of the pregnancy statistics.
We are heading into the 28th week on Thursday! Ideally we have another 8 weeks, but at this point we have to be prepared for anything. A new friend just had her twin boys. She had them slightly earlier then anticipated so my travel schedule is being closely monitored. It looks like day trips from here on out. I will post the new ultrasound pictures later this week.
Pearce can't wait for his sisters to get here! We are still holding out hope that he will take right to them and not get too jealous.
