High Fives!

We made it through our fifth week in Chicago! It was a fairly uneventful week for us. Non-stress tests, computer work from the hospital room (or the hospital Starbucks when we wanted to change things up) and daily rounds with our doctors. We did have another ultrasound which is always fun for us…I shared this photo on Instagram earlier this week (you can follow me at @jenlhummel)... One of our ultrasound images from this week…one of the girls winding up for a gut shot -- I love every kick and wiggle!

Here are some other snapshots from the week...

35 Week "bump date" photo…thankful for every day!!

One upside to all of this time in the hospital (at least for some of us…) is we've been able to watch A LOT of baseball and hockey... Today wasn't the best day for Chicagoland sports…but a new week starts tomorrow!

Tonight we got to carry on one of my family's traditions with my parents here… Growing up, we always had popcorn, cheese and soda for dinner on Sunday nights. We got to sit on the floor and watch a TV show instead of sitting at the diningroom room table. My brother has kept this tradition with his family, and Kade and I are excited to continue it with our girls!

And a few highlights we didn't get pictures of...

  • Papa flew in on Saturday to spend a few days with us! He gets to stay until Tuesday, and then will be back again when the girls make their big debut!
  • We had our favorite (and infamous) Chicago deep-dish pizza from Gino's, specially delivered by our good friend Clint who came to visit over the weekend.
  • My parents gave me a beautiful necklace celebrating our sweet girls, but I can't share a picture of it just yet…

Not too much exciting happening here…but that means the girls are continuing to grow and get stronger, and every day we are closer to holding them! Thanks for your continued love, support and prayers!

With Grace, Jen
