Visiting family at 30 weeks

I'm actually almost 33 weeks now, but since I haven't posted anything about the pregnancy since 28 weeks I thought I would recap a little.

I had a wonderful trip to Oakland CA when I was 30 weeks along where I spent  4 days with my sister Camille, her husband David and their beautiful 3 1/2 year old identical twins,

Caroline

 and

Sara

The girls are at such a fun age right now, it was a joy to spend some time with them before my attention is focused on a newborn.  I'm already wishing I had written down all the funny things they said while I was there.

Caroline was particularly taken with my swollen 30 week belly and her little cousin "Pebble" inside.

Caroline frequently asked if she could touch my belly,
 and would proceed to lift up my shirt and sweetly rub it.

Sara and Caroline both give Cousin Pebble a good morning kiss.

 Both girls are very keen on taking photos with your iPhone.  In fact Sara, who let's remember is 3 years old, can navigate my iPhone more efficiently that I can!  They both took many, many photos while I was there.

Who's do you think is bigger?

Auntie A brought stick on tattoos for the girls.
They adorned their bellies with butterflies. 

When seeing herself in the mirror on this particular morning with her hair in piggy tails,
Caroline stated "YOU say I look great, I say I look SILLY!"

Baby Pebble needed some butterfly tattoos too.

Next time we see the girls  Pebble will be on the outside and have a respectable name, in stead of a SILLY one.
