Nursery!!!





These are pictures of our cribs! The nursery has a jungle theme and then we are trimming everything in pink or purple. I sewed the quilts; you will notice there is a pink one and a purple. They are that soft minki fabric and I am really happy with how they turned out. Everyone helped us get our cribs and we are so grateful for all the help; these girls are already spoiled-Which means we are too!

Update on the girls


THE GIRLS
the other night when I was trying to get to sleep the babies were moving A LOT and so I was laying on my side and they kicked really good. You could feel the whole bed move anyways to me this was just another big painful kick but Gus apparently wasn't all the way asleep; it woke him up the rest of the way and he was pretty shocked they had that much strength. It was pretty funny. So I figured I would post the stats and some pics we took the other day. The babies are about the size of a liter of soda and weigh 2 lbs each! They are developing surfactant this week which is the fatty substance that lines the air sacs in their lungs so pretty much this week is a huge step in their development.

Today I had another first in the pregnancy. As you can tell I am getting pretty big but today was the first time I actually had a patient look at me and say 'you look like you are about to pop!' I tried to keep a straight face as I thanked him!



Gus did an amazing job taking these pics I really wanted some of my maternity belly and so he offered to try I think he did an amazing job, but I still don't have any with him and me :(
I really am impressed with these pictures that he took though-he did AMAZING
