Nursery - That's a wrap!!

Last week we finished our nursery! YAY! It's super cute, and I'm glad I have something completely ready for them.. (too much stuff feels up in the air!) We did a lot of shopping around for affordable options and decorations, but I feel like it came together pretty well, and doesn't feel too matchy. The one thing I haven't gotten that I'd like to get are crib skirts...but that's a small thing, and I have my eyes open for a good price if I see it.

Here are pics: We stuck with our owl theme, and I tried to get a mixture of colors so it wasn't too overwhelmingly pink. So, we threw in some pinks, magentas, purples, greens, yellows, etc. And: The WVU piggy bank, haha. It's cute!

In other news, my appointment at All Children's went really well! They took me as a full time patient with no issues at all. The babies are growing right on schedule. I showed no signs of cervix issues, placenta issues, high bp, etc. I remain pretty much complication free. (knock on wood!!) Which leaves me feeling a little more confident on making it a while longer in the pregnancy.
I'm a member of an April 2013 Expecting Multiples group, and half of those girls are hospitalized, on bed rest, or already having active labor. I'm still crossing my fingers that I can make it to 36 weeks in hopes that my little princesses don't have to endure any NICU time.

Harold and I are going to tour the hospital we will be giving birth this evening, and I'm excited about that! We signed up for a class next month that is Baby Care & Breastfeeding. It will teach about swaddling, feeding, diapering, bathing, choosing a pediatrician, breast feeding support, etc. I'm excited for it. I'm a little clueless when it comes to bathing, etc. I'm sure I'd figure it out alone...but I do appreciate a class where I can sort of learn how things should be done.

Other than that, we  have to get some of our baby gear still. However, we are waiting until our baby shower next month because I don't want to get stuff then get it for a present and be in a situation of having too much of certain things. The biggies that we need still are: 2 car seats, 2 high chairs, a swing, twin breastfeeding pillow, the double stroller to be used after they can't fit into the double snap n go, etc. Mostly the bigger things. We do have some gift cards to use towards that stuff which is nice. We have been very thrifty in buying things, we have gotten used things, hand me downs, shopped craigstlist, etc. I still couldn't have imagined how expensive having twins is!

I'll be 26 weeks on Friday. Time is going fast!
