Just remember Jeff, whatever she asks for, regardless of time of day, she gets.  You are not allowed to be too tired.  Ever. 

And with respect to the boys, awesome news.  Still, as I have a daughter, should the need arise, I will shoot your boys.  Nothing personal ;)

Looks like I missed this thread a while back...

Absolutely outstanding news there Jeff!  Congratulations to you and Kir'.  Glad to hear they're boys, phew!  I couldn't imagine bringing a girl(s) into this world, knowing what us guys/pigs are like (as Brent's already cautioned about above).  Anyway, if you're ever out in Cali again and need a baby sitter, just LMK.  But wait 'til after they're potty-trained though.  Thanks.

Nice work.  Good luck and good health to the whole Nataku crew in the upcoming months.  But will you still have time for the Presidency...?  :P

Great news, Jeff.  Any ideas for names yet?

Great news Jeff. I'm glad that everyone's doing great.

As a father of girls, also, this is the best post ever!

And accurate.  >:( ;)

Great news!  The best being that the boys are both healthy.
This is the way.

Well, we've started the third trimester now and a few folks have asked, so I thought I'd update via the thread instead of a bunch of PMs.  ;) 


Over the weekend, we finished up the last of the painting and a few other things (curtain rod, blinds, floor, etc) and moved some furniture into the boys' room. 

   

   

Things are coming along nicely.

We've just got one crib set up so far.  Her dad is in the process of building the other one and he should be done at some point this summer (it'll go along the wall in the empty space there between the change table and the other crib).

Still not finished, but the stuff that is left is "menial" stuff - buy a rug, new overhead light fixture, new light switch plate, new outlet plates (and covers), and new phone jack (the old one is broken, you can see it dangling from the wall in photo #4) and a few other miscellaneous things here and there. 

The painting was definitely the most involved part of the project.  Lots of taping, but it turned out really well and actually looks like what the boss envisioned.  ;)

Mommy-to-be is doing well, but starting to feel more aches and pains (aside from getting kicked constantly).  The boys are doing well too - everything is looking good and both are healthy and growing, so we're very happy about that.    :)

The naming process is moving along as well... we're close on one name and stuck on the second.   :-\  Still have time to figure it out though...


(and, since you're probably wondering, no star wars related items have been purchased for the boys room... yet.  :P)

Scott for #1 is obvious, In case you didn't know my middle name is Wayne which is probably why you were stuck

Nice nursery though...good luck and lots of sleep to you both in coming weeks :-*
