Running and jumping, skipping and spinning- the Twins are on the go!

Just got home from the Doctor with nothing but As on my report card!  The Twins were SUPER active to the point it was hard to get a good listen to the heart beats (The Dr even asked if I felt movement yet).  The Dr and I were laughing because they kept moving every time he found the heart beats.

All the blood work I had last week came back perfect- levels and all.  My blood pressure was fine.  I gain 6 lbs since the last visit four weeks ago.

One crazy thing that happened was that the Dr I saw today told me I would be put on bed rest around week 28.  Which is a month sooner than I had planned- so we will see :/

The next Dr visit is on Valentine's Day- maybe I get get the Hubby to take me to dinner after wards!

January 24th we head for the ultrasound and hope to learn the sexes (if the Twins are cooperating).  I was told this appoint will 45 min - 1 hour (if not more, depending on the babies).  They will measure all sorts of things on each baby.

Getting ready for a new life part 1

So now that I officially announce our exciting news that we are having twins, it is time to start getting ready and nesting!  We have already started to clean house in a sense and filled the 4Runner once with stuff for Goodwill.  The Husband is working on baby proofing the stereo system through out the house (he has visions of the babies crawling over and knocking over speakers on to themselves).

A lot of things cant get done until we find out the sexes in a few weeks- I am hoping for a boy and a girl.  However, we have already picked out our cribs.  We are getting the Leksvik from Ikea for a few reasons.

One reason for this set is because we already have a dresser/changing table that matched we got a few year ago in the clearance tent for around $25.  I also like this crib because it is more compact than most convertible cribs.  The bed base can be placed at two different heights and then converts into a toddler bed.  Even thought it is more compact it fits a standard size mattress.  The set also has a matching child's table and Charis, toy box, wall shelf and wardrobe.

Another item that we have been looking into is a stroller.  From our research we know we don't want a side by side one mainly because of 2 reasons- you can't fit 2 infant cars seats on most and the side by side ones have a hard time fitting into doorways and so forth.  I have found one I like but haven't seem it in person yet, which is the Kolcraft Contours Options Tandem II Stroller, Tangerine.  We still need to keep looking and go play with them before we finalize which one we want.

What is so nice about this stroller from what we have read is this:

• Seats easily reverse to create 6 different stroller options: children can both face parent, face each other, face forward, back to back, with front seat only and the back for extra storage, or with an infant car seat.
• Infant car seat attachment fits most car seat brands on the market. Additional car seat attachment is sold separately to accommodate twins!
• Both seats recline for infant's comfort
• Easy-reach child swivel cup holders
• Removable iPod^® Dok with speaker plays baby’s music anywhere
• Steering with two 8" front single swivel & rear never- flat wheels
• Easy-trigger fold and convenient Free-Stand™ allow the stroller to stand upright!
• New easy-reach tray is closer to the parent and more accessible, with an open-air compartment and deeper, ventilated cup holders
• Other children can walk & use the hold-on handles
• Infant head rest protects newborn's head
• Adjustable canopy can be raised or lowered to the height of your baby
• Large storage basket
• Height adjustable 5-point harness for safety and padded sleeves for comfort
