Bedding!

So yeah I know I told you all like months ago that I got the bedding for the crib. Well, Walter and I decided that since we have to get two sets of bedding and it happens to be a boy and a girl, why not just get color appropriate sets :-) So we returned the monkey set (on the 89th day of the 90 day return policy...phew!) and we put these on our registry......



We ended up with a bunch of gifts cards (thank you to all those who gave them to us!) and I just bought them tonite and a neutral hamper and diaper stacker! I can't wait til they get here! When they get here and I have washed them and put them on the cribs, and I have finished decorating....I promise there are pictures to come!

(BTW I could have about 2.5 weeks left.....scary huh???)

Updated Tummy Pics

More Ultrasound Pictures

Here are some more ultrasound pictures. They are from last Friday, 6/19. According to their head, tummy and femur measurements, Baby A is 3lbs 8oz and Baby B is 3lbs 6oz. Oh! and he's head down and has pushed her little feet aside (yes, she's breech....but she can turn even in delivery) and has decended a little!

Baby B--the girl

Baby B again....if you look closely you can see her staring at you...her nose is about right in the center of the picture and in the actual picture it looks like she might be sticking out her tongue (takes after her parents well...;-))

Baby A--Boy

Weeks 29-32:Squash

So I know I am really behind, it's been crazy lately...I feel like I need an extra day off to get anything done!


Babies' energy is surging, thanks to the formation of white fat deposits beneath the skin. (Have those kicks and jabs to the ribs tipped you off yet?) Babies are also settling into sleep and waking cycles, though -- as you’ve also probably noticed -- they don’t necessarily coincide with your own. Also this month, all five senses are finally functional, and the brain and nervous system are going through major developments.

The twins are moving like crazy. My tummy is starting to look like the ocean, waves rolling across my belly. It makes it easier to share now with Walter and he likes to just come up and touch my belly feeling for them.

Baby Registry Sale

So just in case you were wondering there's some really good sales online for some of the things we registered for! Some of them end June 18th.......

Glucose Testing

Two weeks I had to go in for my Glucose Screening Test. I had to chug down this AWFUL! drink that tasted like warm flat orange pop! Then Brandon took me to the lab to get my blood drawn one hour later. I found out the next day that my glucose was too high....which I was warned it could be because I'm having twins and that there's old age diabetes in the family. I was totally bummed out! It was actually kinda hard news to take, kinda felt like I was supposed to be taking care of myself for this test and I failed at my one of my first runs at mommy duty. But thanks to my mommy, she helped me to see that it was okay and that it is the situation and not me. The best mom!

So because I didn't pass the first test I had to take a 3 hour test. They drew my blood before I had any glucose drinks again (and after 10 hours of fasting...tell about it...i had basically three mouths to feed...I was hungry!) then I downed another glucose drink, but this time they had had it in the fridge and it tasted like super sweet lemon-lime pop, and it had twice the amount of glucose than the first drink. So then I had an hour to do whatever, but just to stay within in the hospital and then they would take my blood again....i brought a good book :-) and this repeated for the next 2 hours...total of four blood draws....I found out the next morning that I passed with flying colors and my doc was sooo happy and was very pleased with my results!

Ultrasound 5/29/09

Here are some pictures from our last ultrasound. It was a growth ultrasound, basically they measured the babies and the fluid around them to make sure everything is going fine....and everything is! The estimate they are about 2lbs and 6oz each! And Baby Boy is head down.....now we just have to pray he stays that way!

This is a profile view of our baby girl

This is a frontal view of our little boy's face!

Let's see how to describe....the white hill in the center is his cheek and to the right of that there are two black circles....those are his eyes and to the left is his mouth.....We couldn't get a profile of him, because his darling sister was kicking and putting her behind in his face so he ended facing us!
