Getting closer....

Wow.  I'm 30 weeks along with these little ladies.  It's almost hard to believe!  Things have been relatively uneventful, which is awesome!  These girls are "all belly" as someone put it--and I'm super thankful for that as well!  However, my back would disagree.  The 34 lbs I've gained are literally all in my belly.  Besides the hellacious indigestion & heartburn, which causes sleep to be not-so-fun and an aching back, I really can't complain!!  How lucky am I???

It's so surreal that they could be here as soon as NEXT MONTH!!!   We are coming right along with everything we need to do to be ready for them (besides having any clue how in the world to take care of twins....).  The office (with mustardy-green shag carpet and wood paneling) has slowly transformed into a darling nursery with gray walls, new light & outlet fixtures, and new carpet (as of Wednesday!).  The cribs/crib mattresses have been taking up wall space in the living room, anxious to be put together.  The dresser is patiently waiting to be brought upstairs into its new room.  It's safe to say that by the end of the weekend our nursery may actually look like a nursery--furniture and all!

My shower is also this weekend--so pumped!  My sister and sister-in-law are hosting a "country chic" theme, with cowgirl inspired decor, including our crib quilts.  I really can't wait to see all the good loot we're getting--mainly so I can figure out what we still need.  I have a bad case of "nesting" already and it's been so hard to refrain.  Come Sunday, though, all bets are off!  I'm washing, prepping, stocking, buying, storing, and cleaning everything that says baby in our house.  We are gonna be ready for these girlies....but I'm praying they still stay put...at least for another 6 weeks (which may be pushing it, according to my MFM). 

Here's a picture from last weekend....we haven't taken the 30 week belly shot yet.  Better do that tonight.  I swear I'm growing by the hour!
