To the nursery we go!

Ah, after a couple of months of work, the nursery is finished... and we couldn't be happier about how it turned out. Yes, it is a little crazy, it certainly fits our personalities just right. We hope you enjoy the pictures (some before, during and after) as much as we enjoyed creating this room for our little peanuts.

24 weeks and growing!

Hard to believe that we have passed the 24 week mark. This time is going by so quickly! Fall is just around the corner, and these babies will be here before we know it. We certainly can't wait to meet them! We went to the doctor last Friday for an ultrasound check-up to see how the babies are growing. Our little ladybug is right on track, weighing in at a hefty 1 lb. 9 oz. Little man is measuring a week ahead of schedule and weighing in at 1 lb. 10 oz. I think he is going to be tall like his Daddy! Both babies are active and growing well... we are sending more prayers of thankfulness for our continued blessings. My rate of weight gained slowed over the past two weeks, and I am feeling great, although I am starting to feel the lack of "extra" room around my rib cage.

Above is a front view of our little girl, Claire's face.  I can't even begin to imagine how it will feel to see her in person!

Truly, we are having a blast talking and thinking about these new members of our family. It's hard not to stop by the baby section at any store that we go to... just to see if there if something that the babies may need. We've been trying to stock up on little things like diapers, wipes and diaper cream. We try to read to the babies as much as possible... they both seem to like when Jason reads Dr. Seuss books to them. Although it may just be a coincidence, our little girl started to kick the other day when Jason greeted me in the morning.
We are quickly trying to complete the "to-do" list of "before-the-babies-get-here" tasks so that upon their arrival, we can relax for some serious lovin' and baby rockin'. Our goal is to finish the nursery this weekend, so if all goes as planned, I will have completed pictures to post soon.
Thanks to everyone for their thoughts and good wishes!
