The Crib is here!!!!

So the crib is huge! But it isn't really any bigger than two cribs would be... Our room is quite a bit smaller than the one it is in at the grandparents' house... But it is beautiful! I'm so excited! That's our first piece of actual baby furniture! Although Brian's rocking chair isn't going to fit in there... But still it is amazing!

Grandpa J. Posing with his amazing creation!

The proud daddy putting the crib together!

Almost all together!

Done! Isn't it amazingly Beautiful!

Worked on the babies' room today. Our friends, Brian and Amanda Jenkins came over. Amanda worked on the babies room with me. That's her below working on polka dots.

Brian and Brian worked on the laundry room. Or friend Plato helped out down stairs too. They got the walls painted, The one strip of green on the top and the trim in there where the coating and the dry wall meet up will be the same green. And the trim on the bottom will be green too. I haven't tried my washer and dryer out but I'm way excited about them being in! I might have to go buy the drawer to set them up on because it is really low to the ground. I don't know if I will be able to get in to the washer to get the clothes out... I was having trouble getting them out of the old dryer... But anyway. I can't use them until we get the hooks. We weren't planning on stacking them, but then Brian took down the shelf in there to paint so I figure might as well stack them! Make a little more room in there! I didn't remember that you have to have hooks to make it stable... I'm not sure. Anyway those pictures are below...

So, another freak out moment... We had a doctors appointment today. The babies did very well. We got all 2's on the Bio-physical profile. That's the ultrasound, when they check the breathing, (make sure their chests are moving up and down) The heart is beating, the fluid levels are good, and they are moving. (2 is the highest they can score!) Then, we had the fetal monitoring. We sat in the chair and they are getting big enough, to where when they move they can really only go back to the same spot they were in...

Dr. Stephens said that even though I didn't gain any weight that week, the babies defiantly grew! He said IF we make it 4 more weeks we will be doing good. Holy cow! He really put it in to perspective for me that twins usually come early and in all reality we only have a couple weeks left! HOLY SHIT! I really hope we make it through March! All the showers are in March! We have to have the showers! We don't have anything!

So anyway, I guess that's the info. I'll try to scan the ultrasound pictures and see if they turn out. They really are getting big so you can't really see much... But we will see. If it turns out I'll post them on here.

Anyway, have a good night!

Baby room in progress!

Even though my grandma isn't here any more, her little stool is helping us get ready for our babies!

Yay Good news!

I must say that I don't know what I would do without my mom and Sonya! Mom came up Saturday and helped me finish drawing the stripes on the wall. We would have gotten them all taped but we ran out of tape again! After about 4 rolls of tape I am sooo happy to report ALL THE STRIPES ARE TAPED OFF!!! Sonya even came over on Sunday and put the first coat of paint on them! I wanted to pull the tape off sooo bad! But she told me no! :( it does need another coat. Now I'm looking for a cool polka dot pattern. I want sporadic polka dots, nothing uniform, but I'm afraid that if I just draw them on my own then I'll get the colors messed up and have a blob of blue polka dots all in one spot, or green or yellow.
The yellow... Drama behind that! Mom and I was at Wal-mart looking at yellow paint. We found two colors. One I really liked and one I thought Brian might like. I really only wanted to give him a choice between two different shades. Thinking he would agree with the one I liked of course... WRONG! He liked the darker of the two and I like the bright cheery color of the two... To give you an idea of the yellows... In the words of Sonya... The one Brian likes looks like a breast feed baby's crap! Enough said there! The one I like isn't as bright as a lemon, kind of a dulled down lemon color. I actually think I'm going to win this argument because simply I will probably be the one getting the paint! Plus as I look at it I really don't like the darker one. The babies' room should be bright! :)
Anyway, hopefully I will get some pictures of the first coat of stripes posted soon. And by the way... If I ever say I want to paint stripes ever again just remind me of this experience. It is sooo Time consuming. It better look awesome!
Anyway, I can't believe it is only Monday! This weekend went by so fast. I worked my butt of! Cleaning house, Brian invited people over to watch the super bowl, then fell and hurt his foot so I was stuck cleaning all by myself on Sunday. I hope the week goes by fast! I have next Thursday off. More cleaning and hopefully arranging the basement. Brian tells me that he is having Plato come over Wednesday and help move the furniture back into the basement... Keep your fingers crossed! Then I am co-hosting a baby shower for a friend at my house next Sunday and then I have that Monday off! I can only hope the work day goes fast and the evenings go slow!
I'm in my 27th week, the start of my third Trimester! Holy cow! That means according to all the books I have like 10 weeks or less left with having twins! OH MY GOSH! We have another appointment on February 11th. Then after that they said I will probably go to weekly status for check ups. I'm seriously starting to freak out! Not so much about the house anymore, but in like 10 weeks these babies are going to be here! We have nothing, (showers are coming up) But oh my gosh! We don't have much time left! I'm starting to feel the pains and stuff more and more. Before they were just on occasion, but now there is a pain more often then not.
Anyway, I guess I should probably get some work done... Hope everyone had a good weekend. I hope to get pictures posted soon!
Later taters, Leslie :)
