Frei Family Shower

Rhett's friends and family were so nice to hold a shower for me while i was in St. George this month. Rhett's mom's good friend Barb, with some help from some neighbors, through me a wonderful baby shower.

Here is Bevin and I in front of the "two" cakes that she and her cousin Steph made. They turned out so cute, they even made the frosting match the fabric from the bedding i chose!

Here is Bre, Me, Bevin and Alexis... we are missing Tammy and Katie in the picture... These are the wives of Rhetts high school friends, I LOVE these girls, we all get along so great, sometimes i wish we lived closer!!

Barb made this cute diaper cake!! It had "two" cute little bunnies on top, with lots of pacifiers, spoons, onsies, and socks tucked inside all the diapers... very cute!!

Botanical Gardens.....

A couple of weeks ago, the Johnson's and The Frei's headed to the Phoenix Botanical Gardens. Rhettser and I feel like we need to get our arizona tourism done and out of the way, cuz i have a have a feeling in about 7-8 weeks we wont be leaving the house much!! Here is Brooke and I in a lovely little umm... desert landscape thing... Dont you thin she makes me look skinny??? j/k

Here is Brady and Rhett trying to grind their own corn into flour... they actually did a pretty good job.. i was quite impressed!!

Here is us attempting to hide the belly... i know im HUGE, more abou that later.... The had this cool Cactus garden and we couldnt resist a photo. They also had a butterfly exhibit which was pretty neat, we were however expecting more butterflies.

It was definetly worth the trip, it was beautiful!! However i would only reccommend it in the winter!! It was even a little toasty in March!!

Busy... Busy... Busy...

I have been so BAD about blogging!! I wanted to post a picture monthly... but this is as close as i am going to get!!! I am almost 25 weeks... And Sorry but you are only get a belly shot.. because i have foils in my hair and i though I would just spare you from looking at that!!

I am HUGE, i know, dont tell me twice, seriously where did this belly come from?? One of the girls i work with put it correctly yesterday....

My clients says, "Wow, i didn't even know she was pregnant!! She didn't look pregnant 6 weeks ago..??"

My co-worker says,"Ya she pretty much exploded that last couple weeks."

Oh dear!!! I would hurt her with my hands, if they werent so swollen and cramped all the time... and if i hadnt known her for two years, and besides who can blame her for being honest???

Really, i dont even recognize myself.. the Doctor said the babies are measuring 1 lb. and 11 oz. and 1 lb. and 12 oz.!! Also passed my blood glucose test...(the hubby thought it would be a no go-the way i lurve my sugar fixes, so he was little surprised with the results.. but that is between me and the blog and the millions that read this). I asked the doc if i was measuring big(cuz' i feel huge) and he says, tape measure in hand, "NOPE, right on schedule for twins!!" I am not sure what answer i was hoping for, but for some reason that didnt make me feel better. I do love my ultrasound appts though!! Just to see that they are doing good and moving around, makes me so happy!!

Meanwhile, my MIL got me a sewing machine for Christmas, (i know, when i told my mom she about went through the roof, then she went through the roof again when i told her i actually WANTED one...) So, this past month i made these burp cloths... I made a couple that are normal burp cloth size and then a couple that still contour to your shoulder but they are longer... I can't tell you how many times babies spit up over my shoulder and it just drips ALL the way down your shirt.. so i am hoping to prevent that (a little) with the extra length????

I had leftover fabric.. so i made some matching pacifier clips too... just cuz i couldnt spare to put the scraps in the trash... and i have a feeling pacifier clips are going to be like shoes and purses... One for every outfit!!

I also made TWO car seat cover blankets, tents, I am not sure what they are called these days.. but i am pretty proud. It took me FOREVER... but they turned out cute.. i even made a ruffle for the outside of them... I want to put some flowers on them, with the same material as the ruffle... but for now they are done and washed and i need a break from the sewing machine!!

This is an up close of the fabric, one has polka dots on back, the other stripes, but they are the same colors. And one is pink with paisleys, the other lime green with paisleys...



They turned out good... but dont look to close, it was my first project!!



Rhett's parents came for a visit a couple weeks ago and we made these bad boys, okay, okay THIS was my first project, but Patty was there to help, so that didnt count, but i am also proud again, because these are minky... ever sewed minky?? Not so fun... ever sewed strips of minky together and made binding with left over minky fabric?? Yep, that is right, HARD, sadly to say i did mess up a little, Rhetts mom had to finish the binding on my quilt, my feet were a little large from all the sewing. But they are super cute!! And they are little bigger so they can use them when they are older too. So cute, thanks Patty!!!

Well, i according to the doc. i could only have 11 weeks left, or less. So we finally purchased these cute little things... Yes, we purchased two... Good thing Babies 'R' Us had a free shipping sale. They both arrived this week. I LOVE them they are cream in color and I cant wait to have the hubby set them up in a couple weeks, After he is done at the VA hospital... this rotation feels like surgery ALL over again. Not fun, poor guy hasnt had a day off in 12 days after tomorrow!! He looks sooo tired!! But shh... again between me and you and the blog-o-sphere.

So CUTE!! I also picked my fabric!! There are quite a few that i used and ill show you why, after i make the crib bumpers and their quilts in a few weeks... Actually, bless Rhett's moms heart, her and her best friend got together in St. George and sewed, and quilted BOTH baby quilts in one day!! Seriously, any ideas on how to repay them?? I cant believe it!! So nice of them, so now i just have to help finish them on my next trip up there... I still cant believe that her best friend did one of them!! I think i got a 2 for 1 MIL package when i married Rhett... i feel so lucky and i can't WAIT to see them!!

So here they are, lime greens, baby pink(of course) and some very, very deep purples to break it up a little!! The fabric is by MODA, it is called Eva, i am thinkin' i will love it forEVA!! Thanks to my friend Whitney for taking me to the cute fabric shops!! And to Hillary for introducing me to MODA... love their stuff!!

This one below looks real pink, but actually has a lot of cream in it... they all are kind of creamy, perfect for the cribs!!

Sorry, about the long post, but i am getting SUPER excited!!!

What is new with the Frei's...

Well, we have had a busy couple weeks!! Rhett is FINALLY done with his OB rotation... and has moved on to internal medicine. We are loving the hours and the doctors... and his wife is so glad to have him home at a decent hour!! In between rotations my family came again!! And this time they brought this little guy......

My brother and his wife and my cute little nephew stayed at our house for the weekend!! It was so fun to have almost the whole family in town-- we missed you Kyle and Kylee!!

In other news... we went to see a specialist for an ultrasound on our little's!! Sometimes we like to think of them as Muffy & Buffy... but only for now... and only because we have NO other names we like!! Ugh any good baby name sites, send them my way=)!! Both babies look great and growing strong we are so happy, i cant wait for them to get here!! Well, actually i can-- because we have just about nothing for them!! I have however purchased a double stroller--- I know your thinking that is a weird first purchase, but it was on way, way clearance... and it was the one i really wanted... and well if i can save $80 bucks why not??

Now i am on to nursery theme's.... i am thinking Shabby chic, meets a little retro motif?? But who knows... i am also thinking lime green and pink and maybe a little gray?? But i will probably change my mind... i am pretty sure the pink is a stable color right now though. So now it is on to my fabric choices!!

Also... went to the doc today and he said i was measuring right on, not sure if that is a relief or not... because i FEEL HUGE!! It seems like it grows an inch everyday!! I still don't think it has totally set in... i just feel super bloated all the time.. what a weird feeling. Probably wont post lots pic's of the belly but the sisters have been asking=)!! Here i am at 2o weeks!!

SuperCross!!!

So, my parents came to town this last weekend for a race... and i didnt get any picures of the actual race... because long story, my Dad raced, got a concusion and Rhett and I sat in the hospital with him most of Saturday.... but he was fine a few hours later--- and so that night we headed to SuperCross down at the Diamondback Stadium!!

Here is a picture of the parents... needless to say my Dad was a little sore, and quite tired... but he was a trooper! We had so much fun, thanks Mom and Dad!!

Here is the Hubb-ster and I!! We havent ever been to the diamondback stadium, i think it is the nicest baseball stadium ever built-- and they also had some wonderful junk food... which is my favorite part!!

Happy Birthday!!!

Well Rhett turned the big 2-8!! So we celebrated with Burke, by going to the Cheesecake Factory!! Poor Rhett worked about 14 hours that day at the Maricopa Hospital... so he was a little tired... plus still had to go home and prepare a presentation for work... so it wasnt too exciting of a birthday... we didnt even open presents until two days later, that is how busy he has been!!

So, due to the lack of excitement... I made the waitress get some of her girlie friends to sing to him, to his dismay.... And how cute is he?? He even gave me a little posey-pose for the camera- that doesnt happen often!! Does he look a little red too you?? j/k

Burke was so nice to take us.... so we had to grab a quick photo!!

The results are IN........

Well, I went to the Doctor today and he snuck me into the ultrasound room real quick to see if we could figure out the sex of our babies!!! We were pretty sure already that one of them is girl.... but the results are in--- and looks like we are, for sure, thinking PINK!!!!

And thinking pink again!!!

We are so excited!!! Guess i better start thinking of nursery themes, and fabric for bedding!! Any suggestion's??????????

The Frei's are moving from 2 to 4!!!!

No, I don't mean anniversary's... And yes i do mean members of our family... yes, our family, Rhett & I... We are having twins!!!

I am about just past 15 weeks, finally over morning sickness... and well i still dont know if this has officially set in for either one of us!! We are really excited and maybe a little nervous at the same time... but we couldnt be happier!!
