Results Are In!

We will be having a Girl and a Boy! I can't believe it. I'm in shock! I never thought I'd have a son, it just sounds so crazy to me. I'll blog more details about the ultrasound later, but just thought I'd share the good news!

Today's The Day

Well, today is the big day. Today we'll hopefully find out who's in my belly! I'm nervous and anxious. I just hope everyone and everything is okay. I'm still leaning toward two girls, maybe one of each. Cole thinks it's one of each. I guess only time will tell. Please send lots of good vibes that everythig goes well today!

17 Weeks

This is a picture of fraternal twins at 16 weeks to give you an idea.

How Far Along? 17 weeks

Maternity Clothes? Oh yeah.

Stretch Marks? Yep

Sleep? I sleep for 2 hours then get up to pee, then get up every hour to pee after.

Best Moment of the Week? Feeling both babies move. For the most part I usually only feel the baby on my right side move, but the past few days I've actually felt the baby on the left move as well.

Genders? Still a mystery, but hopefully we'll find out on Thursday! I can't wait! I'm still leaning toward 2 girls, but everyone else keeps saying 2 boys, so I don't know. Although while driving with Cole the other day I was saying how I feel like it's 2 girls, but because everyone keeps saying 2 boys, I'm starting to doubt my intuition. Well 2 seconds later we pass a Dad pushing twin girls in a stroller..a sign??? Maybe! Also yesterday at Target they have a gift card that has a little wheel to spin it and it either lands on a girl, a boy, twin girls, or twin boys. I spun it and it landed on twin girls! Ha. Cole tried spinning it and just kept getting girls, so I guess we'll have to wait and see!

Belly Button In or Out? In, but it's not as deep as it used to be. It never "popped" with Grace, so I doubt it will this time either.

Cravings? Today I really want banana bread with nuts!

What I Miss? Being comfortable.

What I Love? Carrying these babies (what a miracle). Feeling them move.

What I Am Looking Forward to This Week? My doctor's appointment Thursday.

Milestones? This week I'm entering into my 5th month of pregnancy!

Feeling the Babies Move? Usually once or twice a day, still not all the time yet.

Other Thoughts? I am just really thankful to have made it this far with miner complications. Praying the rest of pregnsncy goes the same!

Twin Purchases

We finally made a few purchases for the twins, well 2 to be exact, and both of them are from Craigslist. Probably about a month ago I saw a listing for the Twin Nursing Pillow I wanted. The pillow normally runs around $50 and this woman had it listed for $15. We emailed back and forth and I found out she had boy/girl twins who were 2 years old. The woman offered to give me the twin clothes she had left over from her babies. I graciously excepted them, and the woman just gave them to me for free! So I got a barely used nursing pillow and a bag of nice Children's Place baby clothes all for $15. Yay!

This is what the nursing pillow looks like:

Then a week ago I searched Craigslist for a Double Snap N Go stroller for when the twins are infants. The stroller noprmally runs about $100 new and $40-$50 used. I saw one listed for $20 and jumped on it. So Sunday Cole and I went into the city and picked up the barely used stroller...double yay!

This is what the stroller looks like:

Every couple days I check Craigslist for other used items we need, like swings and bouncy seats. Cole's Aunt has informed us she has an extra crib we can use, which will be so helpful! Once we find out the sexes of the twins, which is hopefully a week from tomorrow, we'll go place a bunch of items we need on lay-away. Now, we are no where near being close to having everything we'll need for the twins, but it's a start, and a great one!
