Getting ready

The process of trying to be ready for a baby is tiring in itself... but trying to be ready for twins is a whole other ball park! David has the next 6 days off of work.. so we are trying to get a lot done right now, especially since I have started to have braxton hicks contractions and I am slowly not being able to do as much as I would like. We went to pick out pain colors today and I think we found the ones. We came home and primed the twins room. We picked out a greenish color for their room and we picked out a really pretty grayish-blue for Beau's room. I am so excited! :)
Today David, Beau and I went to take a tour of a church daycare. They do a thing called "mother's day out" where you can pick 2 or 3 days a week where they do music, art and play from 9-1 for the school year. It was really neat and I am excited for Beau to be able to interact with kids his own age. He hasn't had a lot of that since we took him out of daycare in June. Plus, mommy is excited to be able to rest a little. There are days that I swear the boy NEVER sits down and it's starting to take its toll on me! lol.
Wednesday September 1st is our next Dr. apt for the twins... So I will have more updates after that... Love you all.

Still in shock

 

We are now 5 1/2 months and I still can not believe we are having twins... Let alone that we got lucky enough to have one boy and one girl. We are very excited. I am very stressed out. It seems like this pregnancy is going by faster than the last. Probably because I am chasing around an 18 month old. We are now scheduling to see the dr every 2 weeks! It's hard being so far from my family... and being a stay at home mom is a TON harder than I thought it would be. This pregnancy is definitely a lot different from my first pregnancy. I am much more tired and I can literally feel my skin stretching. Though I am only 22 weeks I am measuring at 28 weeks which is the size of someone who is 7 months pregnant. I am already "nesting" I have been working really hard to get the extra room cleaned out and painted so that we can bring up Beau's toddler bed and get him adjusted before the babies get here so the change doesn't seem as drastic.  I am scared of how he will feel once the babies get here because he is our little baby that gets ALL the attention in the house! Our next appointment is September 1st... more updates soon! Love you all very much!
