Bring It on: Happy Halloween!

So, these babies just need to stay in my belly for another 4 hours and then we'll have guaranteed that they have November birthdays!! For the last 3-4 months, I've just been telling the boys to "Stay in my belly because I want your birth stone to be a topaz!" Now, I don't even know what a topaz looks like and frankly I have no real preference for any stones in particular (except amethyst- love me some purple). But I did not really want the boys to be delivered until November rolled around. Apparently they were listening and obeying, which kind of proves that they will probably take after their daddy! And I probably shouldn't count my chickens before they're hatched- I've still got four hours to go- but I'm so excited that they've made it this far.

Happy Halloween! It has been so sweet to see parents and kids all over dressing up together for the holiday and to see the excitement that the kids have for trick or treating. Next year, Jason and I will get to get in on the fun too! I've never been a huge fan of Halloween- I've never had anything against it, but it just never grabbed me like some of the other holidays. But the last few days have really made me realize that kids have a way of changing your perspective on things!

Happy Halloween from Coltrane and Hana!

Jason and I are just trying to stay as peaceful and calm as we can right now. We are down to a single-digit countdown until the scheduled C-section!!!!! I'm spending most of the days laying on my side and resting in bed at home, and Jason is spending most of his time keeping the house running and taking care of me. But we are ready for these babes to come home- the nursery has been cleaned and polished one last time, my bag is packed for the hospital, the diaper bag is totally packed with outfits to bring our boys home in (thanks Pat!), dozens and dozens of bottles have been freshly cleaned and are drying as I type this, and I only have one more load of baby clothes and blankets to fold and put away. Bring on the munchkins!
