26 weeks

we went for an ultrasound this week and it was so good to see the little ones! it had been about 5 weeks since the last ultrasound and so it always makes me nervous going into it...you just don't know what's going on in there each and everyday!!

anyways...i'm happy to report that everything's looking good. based on their calculations, he is now 1 lb 14 oz and she is 1 lb 12 oz. that puts them in the 50th and 42nd percentile respectively. they are no longer yin and yang, but rather both head down. apparently still plenty of time for them to change again, but definitely would be ideal if they decided to stay in these positions!

other than that...we've got the dresser and change table ordered, i found the fabric for the crib skirts and window treatments and work is ongoing around the house.

i guess the only other big baby prep we did is purchase a twin friendly vehicle....jason's new car! it took a while, but we both really like it. jason's a little distraught and i think suffering from separation anxiety from his truck, but i hope once the two little ones in the back seat, it will all be a thing of the past! ( let's hope so anyways) :)

nursery progress finally!

we've been back in our house now a week and it's amazing how behind we feel as far as baby prep goes...they're going to be here before we know it! we've finally ordered our nursery furniture and i've got the plan forward for the bedding and window treatments. i've decided to go with a black and white nursery, but black and white baby stuff is really hard to come by. my boss's wife is going to be making the bedskirts and window treatments and we're going to go with the bumper and swivel glider from pottery barn kids. (see below)







other than that, as far as pregnancy goes, i'm definitely starting to feel a lot of movement inside my belly...it's really quite amazing! and jason felt his first kick just this past weekend, so that was exciting! we go in next week for an ultrasound, so hopefully everything checks out okay.

we actually just changed doctor's last month because we were not terribly impressed with the hospital my original doctor was affiliated with. not that jason and i have unreasonably high expectations, but the hospital did not even come close to giving us a warm and fuzzy. thankfully though, we got a great recommendation for another doctor who is affiliated with woman's hospital here. we've only met with her once, but we were both very impressed. and to top that off, we did the new hospital tour this past weekend and it was soooo much better...definitely glad we made the change!
