Baby Showers #3 and #4, Dayton, Ohio

We were lucky enough to have five of my wonderful co-workers throw us a lovely shower at work. It was decorated in colors to match the nursery and was unbelievably coordinated! We dined on Donatos (my favorite – Chicken Veggie Medley), cake, and even some gourmet French Onion Dip and chips (the babies LOVE this by the way).
We played some fun games. Thanks to Denise for always finding fun shower games! Everyone went together and got us TWO infant seats which is a HUGE help! We also got some outfits, rattles, and various other baby things.



Our fourth stop on the Kovacs Twins Baby Shower Tour took us to Grandma and Grandpa Kovacs’ house to catch the rest of the Dayton folks (with a few from out of town). The theme was Two Peas in a Pod and our two little peas were showered with all kinds of wonderful gifts. Unfortunately, Great Grandma Ponto and Aunt Susan weren’t able to make it down for the shower because of Grandma’s broken shoulder. A good time was had by all and the babies (and mom and dad) are very thankful for everything!

Baby Shower #2 - Columbus, Ohio

We were very fortunate to have several friends (and parents) throw us babies showers. The second leg of our Kovacs Twins Tour 2009 took us to Columbus, Ohio, on August 23 for a shower hosted by Aunt Kate and good friend Angie! The theme was Thing 1 and Thing 2! Instead of cards, guests were asked to bring a book to contribute to the twins’ ever-growing library. We got a lot of great books as well as many much-needed gifts.

It was really nice to see all our Columbus friends plus a handful of other people who drove several hours to attend. Thank you to everyone!!!

Kovacs Twins Tour 2009 Kick-off

I’m more than a little behind in my blogging. For those of you who don’t know, I failed the 1-hour glucose tolerance screening by two points. So I had to go back for the THREE-HOUR screening. Sitting in the uncomfortable waiting room chairs for one hour was bad enough – even with the company of a good book, so I wasn’t looking forward to three hours. To make matters worse, I wasn’t able to go to the lab where I normally go because of scheduling conflicts and the chairs where I did end up going were even worse!

Fortunately, I passed the three-hour test! I was super excited about that.

We kicked off the Kovacs Twins Shower Tour 2009 in Chillicothe on August 2 (picture are below). Thanks to Jennifer and Joan for throwing us a fabulous shower! Because we’re having twins and the chances of me being put on bed rest are higher than if we were only having ONE baby, AND because I really wanted to have the showers while I could still move around and was relatively comfortable, AND because we want to have all baby related stuff done by September, all our showers are in August.

And during all of this the babies are getting bigger and MUCH stronger!
