Mothers-in-training....and waiting

My wonderful Mother-in-law Joeen has been staying with me while Geoff has been out of town, and let me tell you, I might send Geoff out of town again if I could convince Joeen to stay.  She has been an absolute LIFE SAVER!! She has single-handedly made our home ready for two more babies.

Joeen has also been getting Aria and Laila ready for the new babies by helping them get excited about being mothers to their own babies.  Joeen has 7 children so she is an expert at diverting attention, and right now the girls are busy being mothers to their own babies and hopefully they will leave the new babies alone.


Not only is Joeen able to get more done in a day then anyone I have ever met, but she is a very talented photographer.  We took the girls out to play and take pictures and they turned out so darling, I will post some pictures later, but I wanted everyone to see my little mothers.  Aria and Laila are so good to their babies, I am sure they are going to be awesome when the twins come.

Here is the most recent "belly picture".  Joeen agrees that I am getting bigger and bigger everyday! Hopefully these babies will stay in a couple more weeks and then they are definitely invited to come!

Joeen, thank you for everything!  You have no idea how much you mean to me and the girls.  Thank you for dropping everything in your life to come make mine so much easier.  I LOVE YOU!!!!

How fun to spend some time with the MIL. She sounds amazing.

Sorry to keep rambling but, My mom was with me when I saw your last post and she didn't read what you had typed but she thought exactly was you said. Boy looks like geoff and girl looks like laila. Crazy huh.

You look beautiful. And I agree with all the other people who have commented..I am far larger with 1 baby in my belly than you are with 2! I'm sure it's getting to be a heavy load. The girls are darling in their dress up with their babies. You may get more help than you actually want with them around!
Hugs

Aleena,
first off, you look stunning. Really, pregnant or not, you look amazing. Maybe it has to do with the fact that you eat no sugar or gluten, but you look full of light and life . . . you literally are glowing. Hmmm, I can honestly say that you are I think the first pregnant woman I have seen who I could say that about.
Aria and Laila are such beauties too. I know that my girls would have so much fun playing with yours. . . . maybe someday. Good luck with the new little ones. You will do great!
