Every morning the cats force their way under our blinds to watch the birds when they hear the chirping.
In an effort to avoid total destruction and the noise of the blinds hitting the window or windowsill, we started pulling up the blinds. How cute are they?! It is their lifelong dream to catch a birdie.
Note to the future grandparents: our children's first names will be something they won't have to spell since they'll always have to spell their last name. :)
Baby A is on the left. He's in a better position to be more photogenic than Baby B, so let's not hold it against him or her. My sister is referring to A as Fatty Fatty Fat Fat because he/she is slightly larger with a slightly faster heartbeat.
Things I realized today:
1) I will be a weeker, as in my babies are 8 weeks old. KT, I am sorry for mocking you.
2) I am going to be a total mom. And really, how can I not with twins? KT, I am sorry for mocking you.
3) There will be a large number of pg posts. Blogging is the new baby book. Though my sister got me a cool pregnancy journal, blogging gives me more room to write and lets me record your comments with zero effort. I use the journal too for all the details no one wants to know. KT, I am sorry for mocking you.
4) I still believe that I can fit as much into my Pilot as KT can fit in an Odyssey. She will get one eventually, I will not!
5) I will be posting belly pictures, just not until 12 weeks.
Their (37 week) due date is right around Striker's birthday (December 9th) - talk about a great (30th) birthday present!
We were going to try and not go "public" for another 3 1/2 weeks, but after a congratulations comment on my Facebook wall this morning, I sort of felt it was time. ;)
This ultrasound picture is from almost 2 weeks ago when we saw/heard their heartbeats. We have another ultrasound this week!
I will now provide this disclaimer: I sleep/nap as often as possible right now. Except that I wake up every night sometime between 2:30 and 4:30, so this will probably be a regular time for blogging. The good news is that I have a whole lot more material, now that being pg is public knowledge. :)
If you read this and you work with me, please note that I am NOT going public at work yet, so I'd appreciate your keeping it quiet. Thank you.
Regretfully, I did not capture a picture of the sign. Chatting with Pickle delayed my observation, and then I didn't have enough time for Mr Pearl to switch to camera mode. Sigh.
If you feel like Googling (and commenting of course), I promise to dedicate my next post to you!
For as long as I can remember he's used Home Pride Wheat as his bread of choice. About a year and a half ago, they stopped selling it in California. This created a family emergency, resulting in a blind taste test of every similar type of wheat bread on the market. We helped him find a substitute he could tolerate, but it just isn't the same.
Every time he makes a trip to Reno he brings home as much bread as he can carry and freezes it. It's a really good thing that bread is not a forbidden carry-on item! Maybe he'll comment now that I've given him his very own post?
