But...on to other things. I had the most WONDERFUL baby shower last Saturday. It was so fun, so relaxing, so great. I couldn't have asked for anything better. Leah Finn, Mary Kathryn Lassetter, and Lindsey Isham threw Kathleen and Karissa a "Twist on a Traditional Diaper Shower." For those of you who don't know, I cloth diaper Josh, and I intend to keep up the cloth diapering with the twins. However, I also realized that with THREE in diapers, I was going to need something with a little more speed to it than the traditional prefolds and covers I've used with Josh. So, we're making the switch to the more expensive BumGenius - which are fabulous - but, as I said...more expensive. So, to help us with the cost, the girls threw me a diaper shower.
The theme was double-stuff oreos (I'm going to steal some pics from Leah's blog since I don't have the pictures downloaded from my sister's camera yet :). The invitations were absolutely adorable. Here's what they said:
Two times the love
Two times the fluff
These two little babies are sweet like "Double Stuff"
Two times the joy
Two times the yum
Two times the sweetness
Two times the fun
Join us to celebrate the impending arrival of Kathleen and Karissa
It was precious. Check out the picture of the adorable invitation:

And a montage Lindsey created - thanks girl!
Matt and I are so thankful for everything everyone has done for us to help us prepare for our girls. We now have two cribs in the house (and a third on the way - we're so blessed that people have given us their old cribs so that we don't have to move Josh to a twin mattress on the floor when the girls come - at 15 months...it's still a little young :). Mary Kathryn has lent us all of her girl clothes. Two bumbos that we are being lent. A beautiful nursery set that my Mom is making the girls in purples and greens. And I'm sure I've forgotten many of the other ways God has just poured out his blessing upon us. This diaper shower was just the latest. Yes, we still have some more to get...but, we are just overwhelmed by what God has already provided for us. It's so much fun! And I can't believe that in less than 10 weeks, they'll be here!
We had another ultrasound today. These are becoming a bit uncomfortable since the girls keep getting on top of each other and in the way as the poor technician tries to get all the shots she needs :). But...Kathleen is still breach, and Karissa is still transverse - so, we'll see what happens and if they end up turning before the big day. If not, no big deal...labor will be over a lot faster :)! if we have to have a c-section :).
We're getting so excited and can't wait to meet the girls face to face!
Oh, by the way - dissertation update: Matt has an external reader - MILLARD ERICKSON! That's huge - for those of you who don't know who this is - he's one of the biggest named theologians of our day, and he wrote one of the most widely used Systematic Theology textbooks in use today. And Erickson is so interested in the topic that he's flying in for the defense (not a common thing at all!). So, it's exciting and intimidating all at the same time. So, just pray for confidence and competence on Matt's part as he prepares for the defense. Also, Matt is in the middle of writing Ch. 5 and revising a few sections of Ch. 1-4. He and Dr. Liederbach have a big meeting to go over everything with a fine toothed comb tomorrow - so, pray that they have a really fruitful time together. He's still looking to turn in the completed dissertation on March 18 - so pray that that happens. Also, it looks like his defense will be the last week of April - so pray that the girls cooperate and don't come until after that.
