Nursery Update

Kev finished up the nursery painting and trim this week and it looks SO good. I'm so proud of what a handyman he is!! Now we just need the furniture, some decor and two sweet little boys to make their room complete!!

27 Weeks and some news.....

Today marked 27 weeks and the beginning of the third trimester! It also marked Day 1 of bedrest ( waah, waaaaah!) This morning, at our appointment, I was told that for the next week, I need to act like each day is "a lazy Sunday." Which means no working, exercise, cleaning, cooking, running around, etc.... I was kind of bummed that it's happened this soon, even though it's just "modified" bedrest and precautionary.  I was hoping to make it to at least 30 weeks without having restrictions. Oh well, whatever is best for the boys!

Work has been great about this recent development, I'll work from home this first week then we'll reevaluate after our next appointment on 9/22.  You don't hear of too many cases where bedrest is lifted, but I'm hopeful! My mom sent me a list of "helpful tips" while on bedrest so you don't go stir crazy!! I'll definitely be referring to it!

The good thing about our appointment is that both boys look GREAT! Healthy little heartbeats in the 150's and they were moving around a ton! They're in the same position as our last appointment with Baby A breech and Baby B vertex (head down) Explains why my ribs and bladder are still being used as punching bags! :) 

Baby A weighs 2 lbs 6 ox and Baby B weighs 2 lbs 7 oz. So, Baby A has almost caught up to his brother now!  They put on a total of 1 lb 2 oz in 2 weeks, which is great!! I just hope they continue to fatten up in there at this rapid rate!!   We got to see one of our little guys sucking on his fist/thumb, it was so cute!! Here are pictures from today.  Please keep all 3 of us in your thoughts and prayers. We need these little guys to cook a while longer!!




A's Cute little arm!


B's sweet little face :)

Nursery: Before Pictures

So, these aren't overly exciting but you can see there's a LOT of work to be done!! We replaced almost all of the trim upstairs over the past few years, but this room was neglected. Mainly because I used it as my walk-in closet and there was stuff everywhere! Now it's all cleaned out and ready for Kev to get going. Over the past few weeks, he's prepped the room filling in nail holes, ripping out old woodwork, etc.   Last weekend he painted the room a tealish blue and tan to match our crib bedding, seen here...

Today, he and our brother-in-law, Jason, are installing the white chair rail and trim.  I think it's going to look really good when it all comes together! Our furniture probably won't be delivered until October, maybe even November. So, getting everything else done now is key. Especially while I'm still pretty mobile and can pick things out and decorate.

More pictures and updates to come as the room progresses!!

Itty bitty closet!

Corner where our chair will go...

Yankees Suck :)

26 Weeks!

At the end of this week, I'll officially be into the third trimester, YAY!! Now that Fall is arriving, I know I'm in the home stretch. I've always wanted to be pregnant during this time of year, you can't beat Fall In New England, that's for sure!!

College and NFL football are back, the Sox are making their run for the post season and who could forget "all things pumpkin?" I'm talking lattes, muffins, delicious Shipyard Pumpkin Ale (that I can't yet enjoy!)  I was watching College Gameday this morning and was such a proud Coug when I spotted 4, yes 4 Coug flags and only one dinky Husky flag. :)  Brought a smile to my face! There's nothing like being a Coug fan!! I was telling Kev that next year, we're going to Pullman. I don't care when or how, but, we're going!! We've been together 7 years and I still haven't managed to get him there! 2012 IS the year!!!

Okay, enough love for my Cougs..... Kev started the nursery last weekend! The "before" pictures to come!! Speaking of pictures, we're doing maternity / family pictures with the pups first week of October. Hoping to have lots of beautiful foliage as a backdrop!

25 Weeks!

I'm a little behind in posting, whoops! Last week we celebrated our 4th anniversary and 25 weeks! I'm telling ya, the weeks are flying by now and I love it! One week closer to meeting these two babes!  Check-up went well on 9/1 and feeling pretty good!! I noticed that over Labor Day Weekend, my feet started to turn into hot italian sausages. Nothing a little AC and elevation couldn't take care of, though. :)

4 Years......

And I love him even more now than I did then! September 1, 2007 was the BEST day of my life! I married my best friend and partner in crime.  NO ONE can make me laugh like he does! For example, this morning, we were waiting for our ultrasound and he said something that literally had me laughing so hard that tears were running down my cheeks and I couldn't catch my breath! If I'm not laughing hysterically at his "Kevin-isms," he's making me smile with his sweetness and charming good looks! :)  I know he'll be the best daddy in the entire world and I'm proud to say he's my hubby. Here's to four years and many more, Kev. I love you! XOXO
