The Nursery is Done!!

We were finally able to finish the mural this past weekend.  It felt like such an accomplishment to have everything ready.  =)  Thank you to my Mom for painting the entire nursery!  She and I worked on the mural wave/sand but she did the rest.  Thanks Mom!!  =)

There are a few details (like a clock - he, he) and a taller bookshelf but the decor is done and everything is put together.  =)  I'd also like to put up initials above the cribs, but that'll be a later pic.



This a diaper wreath my friend Lori made - I'm planning on hanging on my hospital room door!



the dresser/changing table



the cribs (and car seat storage) - her crib is on the left and his on the right

the mural wall -- it came out wonderfully!  We love it!!  =)  (excuse the sunshine dots - it's pretty sunny here)



our bookshelf - as you can see, we need a taller one (no place for easy access to those stacks of diapers yet)

Getting more and more real as we finish up things.  Still a few more things to do (washing all kinds of things and organizing the closet a bit better (need to get more hangers) but we're ready for them any day.  The rest will get done someday!  =)

30 weeks!!

Had another check-up yesterday and everything looks great!  The babies are doing wonderful and Momma is doing great too.  Just getting sore joints (from the relaxin? - which is prepping my body for birth here in about a month and a half). 

Only got good pictures of baby boy.  Baby girl is turned more towards my back so she's being shy right now. 

here is our baby boy - he's facing the right and if you look closely he's got a cute smile  =)

me & Joe - not the greatest picture but we snapped it while working on the nursery mural wall (pics coming when it's done)

Everything seems to be going well, so we're just waiting and gestating a little longer  =)  (the more time inside, the better!)

29 weeks!!

We had our growth sono this past Wednesday.  Was so fun to see the babies again - they were pretty active and are super cute!  We weren't able to get any good pictures of them this time (we had a different sono tech) but hoping at the next appointment we can get some. 

Here are the stats:
Baby Boy - 3lbs 5 oz and 15.5" long
Baby Girl - 2lbs 14 oz and 14.9" long

They are both well within the average range for height and weight. 

As far as me - I passed my glucose tolerance test which means no gestational diabetes (which is very common with twins).  Yea!!  I'm feeling large but still have a ways to go.  I'm on light duty at work - means I sit at a desk mostly - which has been super helpful!  Feeling pretty good overall.  =)  Joe is doing well too.  He's really excited!

We're working on the nursery and we're almost done.  I'll be sure to post pics so you can see it all complete.  Cribs are all put together and the clothes are all put away.  It's getting more and more exciting!!

Here is a belly pic from just yesterday.  It's weird to see in a picture - my belly is definitely big but doesn't look that big from above.  =)  Oh, and people are saying I have a waddle already when I walk.  ha, ha

29 weeks and holding  =)
