28 Weeks!

Hi everyone -
It's been another busy week in the Hart household! Mommy and Daddy are getting tired, but they still have a lot to do to prepare for our arrival!
Last Tuesday, they attended a 3 hour long class related to multiples. They were surprised that there were 13 different couples in the class! That's a lot of twins for the Cincinnati area!
Wednesday night, they were supposed to meet with a lawyer to get their wills done, but the lawyer needed to reschedule, so they are going tonight.
Thursday evening was a painting night...Daddy finished the second coat on the nursery ceiling while Mommy painted the trim boards in the master bathroom. (She's been wanting to get those done for about 3 years now, so figured it was time!).
Friday night, we stopped and picked Uncle Aaron up after work, and we hit 75 north toward Toledo. We stopped in Dayton and had dinner, then proceeded to go visit Aunt Lyn at the hospital. They induced her on Thursday evening, but things weren't progressing very quickly. When we left the hospital around 12:30, she was having some contractions, but she was sure that she'd be going home after breakfast the next day and waiting for her baby boy to arrive when he was ready.
What a surprise we got when Aunt Lyn texted us at 1:30 to let us know her water had broken, and she was dialated to one centimeter! By 6:00 a.m. on Saturday, she was fully dialated, and waiting for the doctor to arrive. Our new baby cousin Knox Joseph Willinger was born at 7:08 a.m. on Saturday, November 14th. He weighed 8 pounds even, and was 21 1/2 inches long. He has dark hair, and looks just like his big sister Lylah did when she was born!
Mommy, Daddy, and Uncle Aaron arrived at the hospital between 8:00 and 8:30 on Saturday to meet Knox. We got to see Maw-ma and Paw-pa, and Aunt Rachelle too at the hospital.
Saturday was spent visiting with Knox, Aunt Lyn, Uncle RJ, and the whole family. We got to play with cousin Lylah in the afternoon too (she even gave us kisses through Mommy's tummy).
Sunday was more visiting before heading back home.
Last night Mommy and Daddy ran lots of errands. First they stopped and got a new suit ordered for Daddy, as he is going to need one for cousin Knox's baptism, as well as ours! Then they stopped and picked a few things up at Walmart, then they were off to the dry cleaners to pick up some of Daddy's things. Finally, around 8:00 they had some dinner before heading off to the grocery store to stock up for the week. After arriving home around 9:30, they put the groceries away, then Mommy unloaded the dishwasher and did a load of laundry. By 10:30, it was time for bed, as they were both exhausted!
Lots of things to do this week: meeting with the lawyer tonight, C-section class at the hospital on Wednesday evening. Thursday and Friday night, Daddy plans to put the new ceiling fan up in our room, and hopes to get the pretty yellow paint on the walls. Mommy needs to get her thank you's for her work shower done, and hopes that her and Daddy can agree on some baby furniture for our room so they can get it ordered. Otherwise, we may arrive before the furniture does!
Saturday will be wrapping up anything that didn't get done for the week, and hopefully watching the Ohio State/Michigan football game. They will also be preparing for the busy week of Thanksgiving!
We hope you all have a great week. We'll write more after our ultrasound and appointment on Friday.

Love to you all,
Left and Right
