To get things caught up... one with babies. We were released at the beginning of July after our 9 week ultra sound to go to a highrisk OB. The great thing about Dr. Babb is that a lot of women I work with had him, so that makes it a lot nicer.
At the end of July we had our 12 week ultra sound, and had a long appt. At that time we could have been able to see the sex of the twins, but of course neither of them wanted to show us "their goods" it was really cool though because they are laying head to head and Baby A was break dancing on his head, just spinning in circles, and Baby B was mooning us, so needless to say they have their own personalities.
Here is a few pics at week 12.
Our next ultrasound was this past Wednesday but the placenta was in the way so we didn't bother trying to get photos. This time the twins were play fighting, kicking and punching eachother-well not making contact of course, but they looked like the rock'em sock'em robots. It was too cute. My measurements was 16 weeks, so I am only 2 weeks ahead of a singleton, which is good. Some might ask, why is bigger by two weeks good, well.. Dr. Babb has told us that at 28 weeks I will be measuring the size of a 40 week singleton-yikes!
Our next appt is the 19th, hopefully we will find out the sex of the two at this one. Its really important because my family is coming in that weekend and offered to help paint the nursery so any help we can get especially with painting will be wonderful. But who knows.
Also this week we got our tandem stroller-thank you parents :). I was able to put it together all by myself-a small victory. It is officially our first baby product. We are one step closer.(and we know there are MANY steps)
The last two weeks have been very interesting. Craig decided that he was going to turn his car into insurance. When we traveled to OKC in May he got what we thought was road construction paint on the right side of the car. Well, him being the car guy he is he drove him crazy, so he finally gave in and turned it into insurance. A possibly week job to take the paint off and polish the car turned into them having to tear the whole car apart and paint EVERYTHING from top to bottom. It has now been two weeks that Craig and I have car pooled some days but he has rode his bike on others. I think now I am more excited for him to get his car back then he is.
Since we have had to car pool, I picked him up from work two weeks ago and we decided to go to lunch. After lunch I asked if I could just show him the baby furniture. To my surprise he said yes!!! But since we were on the opposite side of town he wanted to try a few furniture stores to see if they had any nursery furniture. Well to this day I think it may have been a set up because we went into the first store and saw no baby furniture, but since we were there we looked at the living room furniture he was thinking about. (I was ok with that because he wanted leather and I like leather but its hard to find contempary leather, thats not super bulky) Of course Craig foudn some that he liked for a good price. Some how I managed to keep him out of the store without purchasing. So we went to another store and had no luck on anything. So I thought I had made it to Babies 'R Us clean and clear, but across the street from Babies R Us was another furniture. No doubt Craig had to stop there, well they had nursery furniture but much higher priced then what he wanted to spend. At that time I thought he had gotten over his living room furniture "look", I was wrong. As we started to give up on the leather and we were walking to the doors, he found his "ideal pieces" well there was no talking him out of it, so we drove home with a new chair, ottoman, love seat, and couch.
So you are probably asking.... did we ever get to Babies R Us? Yes, at 9:30 that night :( I wasn't really happy, but hey he liked it and agreed to it. So last week we registered. Another small step to baby ready.
