25 Week Belly

Here's the traditional biweekly shot...


...another shot...this is one big belly and we have three months to go!

New Mobile

Yesterday my cousin Christa and I went to the Clothes Pony, a very cute children's store in Fort Collins, to create a registry. I added this mobile to my registry, and after leaving the store, we didn't get half way down the block before I had to turn around...I just couldn't leave without it!


The plan is to hang it above the changing table.


And here's a shot with the ceiling fan that Chris installed. We ordered cribs on Sunday so they should be ready to pick up in the next couple of weeks! :)

Getting Over a Rough Night's Sleep

Last night was the first night I needed to actually prop myself into a sitting position to fall asleep. The girls were up in my ribs pushing on my lungs making it very hard to breathe. I was huffing and puffing and finally sat up and was able to sleep. That wasn't all...they were also having a dance party, which Chris rather enjoyed because he got to feel them a ton. It seriously felt like there was a dance club in my belly. I would have joined them, but all I wanted to to do was sleep!

Baby Room!

It's coming together! Chris has done a WONDERFUL job painting, and this weekend, he installed a ceiling fan!

The beginning....white walls

Starting to get some tape up...

I helped with the taping,

but Chris did all the painting!

Touch ups

And here comes the pink!

His border work is professional!

Surveying the room the next day...

Nice work!

Lovely!

And here comes the ceiling fan...

23 Week Belly

23 weeks and all kinds of movement! I feel them both several times throughout each day. Chris and I can actually watch my stomach move now, too! Pretty wild!

Chris's image of the twins

We've been calling the baby on my right side Baby A. She is super active and makes my tummy bounce and move because her kicks are so strong. Baby B is more down in my pelvis, and she seems less active, unless her kicks are just hitting some part of me that isn't feeling it. In a recent ultrasound, though, Baby B was sleeping peacefully while Baby A kicked and punched her.
So Chris has chosen to nickname the twins after Powerpuff Girls (a cartoon..are we surprised?)

Baby A: Buttercup - known for her fighting skills



Baby B: Bubbles - known for her laid back style
