Chloe and Caroline's Room

The girls room is, for the most part, done~! Just need to separate more clothes and get them into the right size baskets. We have so many clothes for the girls it's crazy! And since I like things perfectly organized, the closet will need to be reorganized to make all the little baskets of clothes fit! All the cute dresses are hanging, but all the little knit clothes and onesies are being folded into baskets, one for each girl since they have so many matching outfits. I'm thinking that they will look nothing alike at this point, so the same outfits may be the only thing they have in common. On Monday Chloe measured 4lbs 3ozs and Caroline 3lbs 5 ozs, by 37 weeks they should be 6 and 5, that's what I'm hoping anyway. Not sure if we will make it much past that since twins avg 35.4 weeks for delivery. Next week is 34 weeks. Right now staying home has really helped the swelling, by mostly just keeping the feet up and mind reading. Robert put together my glider last night, and now the room feels so much smaller! Having 2 cribs really does take up a lot of space. But, now I can sit in my glider and sort and organize without having to stand. Can't wait for the girls to get here!

Bed Rest/ 2 vs 1

OK, so it's been almost 2 full months since I've last updated! As you can see from the pic, I've been busy growing 2 little baby girls and of course working! Today is my second day on bed rest, which as you can probably tell from the yucky swelling in the pic I really needed. This is a picture of me and my friend Rachel. She is having her cute baby girl the same time we will be having the girls, and yes, their is a HUGE difference as you can tell from having 1 to having 2. If you can only imagine all the questions I would get from people while I'm out or just even walking thru Nordstrom to get to my office. Robert and I were as Sam's about 2 weeks ago, and he was shocked how many people stopped and wanted to comment or ask about the size of my stomach! At the check out was a lady, with only 3 weeks to go, when she found out I was having twins the strange look disappeared from her face. When we left he asked if this happened to me all the time. I said yes! And it really getting worse!
Pro's of bed rest: NO WORK, less swelling due to having feet up, able to update blog, reading books, and taking naps! Going to Dr/Drs 3 times a week is now an outing.
Cons' of bed rest: No work, yes, I am one of those control freaks that happened to love my job for the most part. Had to give my crackberry to my interim, and I don't get to see my friends who I share an office area with. Yesterday my 1st day at home, it was 9:20 and I was thinking, I bet Lexi and Jackie are going to the ebar to have coffee and I'm here at my house wishing I was going too!
Ok, enough of that, I will work on posting pics of the girls room, and more pics from my showers this week!
