28 weeks!!!!

At the beginning of November, Brian and I went to Naples for the weekend. We had a really nice time. We stayed at the Naples Grande Resort, and it was very nice. I would seriously recommend it to anyone visiting Naples. Brian planned the whole thing all by himself! Very impressive :)

We are still working on the nursery! Brian put together both cribs and a changing table. The painting is done. Now I am busy searching the internet for Dr. Seuss decor! I found these adorable outlet covers and shelves online.

I know this isn't the best picture, but they are very very cute! The outlet covers are from Etsy seller Starrs Creations. The shelves are from eBay seller mine-n-yours_2008.

I am also waiting on some wall decals that I found on Etsy. I cannot wait to get them on the walls!!

The babies have been moving around so much! They practically never stop. Between the two of them there is always something going on :) It is so weird to see body parts rolling across my belly! I don't really feel "kicks" anymore. It is more like rolling or strong, heavy moves. Every time we go to the doctor the babies are in a different position. I know they are getting cramped for space in there, but they are still finding ways to get comfortable :) At my last appointment, both babies were breech. That means their feet were down. They have plenty of time to switch positions, but if they are breech when it is time for me to deliver, I will need to have a c-section. I really do not want to do that, but obviously it will be whatever is best for the babies!

It might seem a little early to be thinking about delivering, but it is really so close! I only have about 9 more weeks, at the most. Anytime in January would be OK for the babies to be born. The later the better, but definitely before January 27th they will be here!!

I went in for a one hour glucose screening this week and passed! The nurse told me with twins and being on prednisone I would likely fail the one hour and need to do the three hour test. Luckily that was not the case! YAY!

I am off of work for the next week and will be sleeping a lot! Also shopping for the nursery, making appointments to meet pediatricians, and getting ready for my baby shower on Saturday. I am SO EXCITED! Susan brought some stuff for the shower over this week and put it in the outside room and told me not to look. I am being so good, I promise I haven't peeked! But it is killing me. I would have never thought to go in there anyways, now I am so curious.

Guess what!!!

Brian and I decided on a new nursery theme! Dr. Seuss!! We are soooo excited, it is going to be super cute. We decided on it last weekend and then immediately started painting! So it is official :)

I wanted to do a striped wall and I think this came out so nice! I was nervous to paint ourselves but I am very happy with it. Brian and I were so lucky to have lots of help from Katie and Lauren!!

Thanks so much!

Brian worked so hard on painting!

I have found A LOT online for Dr. Seuss nursery decor and I am pretty much obsessed. I am especially loving cartoon furniture and am trying to find some pieces at a reasonable price.

Doesn't this stuff look so fun??

Over the weekend we also went and had maternity pictures done! Our photographer posted one picture on facebook and the rest will be on her blog next week. We loved her! She was very nice and professional. I cannot wait to see the rest of the pictures but here is the one she posted...

We still have a lot to do before the babies come! We are finishing up our registries, signing up for birthing classes, and picking out a pediatrician! Lots of important things.

The babies are growing quick and moving a lot these days. They are each about two pounds! I feel them move all day and night and it is such a fun feeling :)

The babies are about the size of an eggplant!

I cannot believe at one point they were just poppy seeds...it is crazy to think how fast this has gone by!

Well, that is everything for now! Thanks for reading :)
