Almost 14 weeks

It feels like it's been much longer but I've finally almost hit the second trimester of this pregnancy.  Since we made our news public a few weeks ago, the reality of twins has started to set in a little more.  Here's what I've been up to lately to get in the spirit of this change:

  1. Downloaded the book Raising Twins to my Kindle and started soaking up every bit advice there.
  2. Started looking for another double stroller to fit 2 car seats-- we already have 2; a jogger and a Sit n Stand but neither holds 2 car seats unless we buy adapters for the jogger. I don't want to push my jogger in stores, it's way too wide.
  3. Started researching car seats and weighing whether or not to be cheap and buy one car seat that doesn't match (not likely ;) ) or buy two brand new matching seats.
  4. Researching twin nursing pillows (you betcha! It's possible to nurse two babies at once and I'm going to give it all I have!)
  5. Waiting for the moment we get to find out what these two little peaches are (hopefully in about a week!!!)

And even more exciting is that I found the double snap n go stroller I've been wanting on Craigslist for half the price it runs in stores!  I also bought a brand new bouncy seat at Target on clearance.  I even put it together because I couldn't wait (but took it apart again because a move is probably in our future and it travels better in the box).

I've also been feeling a thousand times better and have even started crafting again! 

Jonah tells me often that he wants them to be boys or girls, no boys...like him.  I'm sure he'll be happy with whichever.  He also asked me the other day if I now had THREE babies in my belly.  I'm grateful I was able to assure it there were only 2.

So exciting! What a fun adventure :) If anyone can handle twins its you! I can't wait for you to find out if they will be girls or boys!

Still so excited for you! I take my double jogger EVERYWHERE and LOVE it! I will never buy another double stroller!

Oh my, can't even WAIT to find out what those little nuggets are. I'm thinking.....girls! And on your list of purchases, don't forget your sleepy wrap. Then, you can have one in the stroller, and wear the other. :)

Can Jonah and Sophie be ANY cuter? And not you're adding 2 more to the bunch! Oh, I miss you....!!!!
