Twins - Week 15

First, please note that I got dressed specifically to take this picture for y'all. :) I am now once again in one of the hubby's t-shirts.

I have concluded that there are 2 reasons I don't look any bigger this week in this picture. 1) black is slimming and 2) I've been sitting or laying all day and the belly looks bigger after I've been walking around all day letting gravity do its thing.

Today was Day 1 of 13 on bed rest. I was bored by 8:30, but managed to find enough things to do to pass the time, and yes, napping was involved. Bianka FFSUing while having contractions filled some time as did the Big Brother premiere. Probably won't BBB every episode, just sporadically.

The lemons are now apples. Temp names are Fuji and Mac :) I guiltily ate sliced apples today until I justified that they were neither Fuji or Macintosh apples. Yes, I avoid eating whatever size food they are for that week.

I browsed Babies R Us and Target online today. Why are bottles so darn expensive?! I expected a fortune for diapers and formula, but bottles?! I asked KT for the rationale and unfortunately her BB was near death so we had to put that conversation on hold. Same with the Pampers vs Huggies debate - Pampers cheaper with Sesame Street characters vs Huggies with Disney characters.

With the now likelihood that both are boys, Striker and I began discussing names. We involved the Queen since she is good at naming stuff and she was surprised/baffled/astonished to learn that Striker's middle name is Martin, thus sharing the same first and last name as the Queen's dad and grand dad. (I suppose that if you don't know the Queen's maiden name or Striker's real first name, that was really confusing.)

This post is adorable.. totally a "I'm on bedrest" post!

I love that you don't eat the food they are that week!

Jenn, you crack me up.

pampers vs huggies debate....it totally depends on the shape of your babies legs/rear-end. On my kids, Huggies leaked out the leg holes EVERY TIME!

LOL that you don't eat the fruit that your babies are :)

Had immense fun with the naming routine the other night.

Luckily BB should take up lots of your bed resting time!

Love a couple things here...
1. the whole not eating the fruit
2. that Sesame Street characters are more "edgy" - Thanks ADF for that one!!
