"Whoa! Avengers!" Tommy's eyes got big as we walked into his room. It's been two months since the work on the house was finished and we finally packed everything up. We were going to move back in April, but Janet felt that the boys shouldn't go through too many changes while they were finishing kindergarten. Now that they were done, we moved.

We had them stay at Mama K's house while we moved and unpacked everything, except their rooms. Right now, Janet was helping Josiah set up his room while I showed the twins their rooms. After I showed them their room, I'm going to show Janet the nursery.

"This is so cool, mama." Tommy ran around his room looking at all the action figures. TJ ran with him.

"Look, Ironman." Tommy gasped.

"It's so real."

"I know." He ran back to me.

"This is my room?"

"Yep."

"Only mine?"

"Yep." TJ looked sad. "But don't worry. Look." I walked to a door. "You see this door?" They nodded.
"Well, when we open it, it goes to this room." I opened it and a playroom was connected."

"Whoa!" They exclaimed.

"And then we go through that door...." I walked them over. "....and look."

"X-Men!" TJ screamed and ran through his room.

"Oh my god!" He and Tommy ran throughout the room. "This is awesome."

"Look, it's Wolverine." TJ said.

"And Iceman."

"It's the Professor X. Oh my god!"

"This is so cool, mama."

"I know. Now you guys can have your own space and a space for both of you." They smiled at each other.

"Thank you, mama." TJ hugged my legs.

"You're welcome. Do you guys want me to help you unpack?"

"No, we got it." They ran to Tommy's room. I shook my head. I'll let them have their moment. More than likely, Janet will go in there and straighten whatever needs to be.

Going into Josiah and Jordan's room, she was sitting in a chair while helping Josiah set up.

"Where do you want your snuggle bear?"

"On the bed." She handed it to him and he ran to his bed.

"Now, how about your big boy monster light?" Josiah looked around.

"There." He took it and placed it on the little table next to his bed. Jordan was on his side of the room moving things around. It was a mess, but he was happy. Every so often he'd go back to his box of toys and grab a few before going back to his other toys.

"Do you want me to help you set your toys up?"

"No, mommy. I do it."

"Okay."

"Come on, babe. I want to show you something." I went to her and helped her up. She was six months along now and when I tell you she was big, she was big. Naturally, I was a little worried about her. She's so small and she seemed bigger than when she was pregnant with TJ and Tommy. I was going to mention my concern to Missy at her next appointment.

"Thanks, baby." She stood up and walked into the hallway. "Whooo." She let out a deep breath. "What's up?" She sounded out of breath.

"Are you okay?"
