Weekly Wisdom: Surrender all your fears to God

Milestones: Viability, but I'll feel much better when we hit 28 weeks.

We got to see the girls yesterday!  It is getting harder to really see them on ultrasound because they are getting so big!  Baby A was 1 lb 12 oz. and Baby B was 1 lb. 8 oz.  We didn't really get any good pictures.  The lady doing the ultrasound doesn't seem to want to try to hard to get us some cute pics...just to get the measurements.  They also had me laying on my back and that didn't last very long until I almost passed out, so I had to lay on my side and it was harder for her to get to things.  They are still transverse though and kicking each other in the head!  As of now I am going to the Dr. every two weeks with US's every 4 weeks.  I get to do the Glucose Tolerance Test in 4 weeks. Yuck!  It makes my tummy hurt just thinking about that stuff I have to drink.

We are trying to get started on the nursery, so we went to b.abies r us last night to get some stuff we were wanting and Rob starts spotting bedding he likes better than what we already picked out.  Then I got on board with him.  So now we have to pack up the bedding we already bought and take it back and also we noticed that someone already bought our 2nd bedding and the accessories.  We knew it had to be one of our moms...turns out they went together and bought it. So now we need to get that and take it back so we can switch.  Rob is such a trouble maker!  I am glad he is the one who changed his mind this time and not me, though!:)

This is the new bedding.  It looks better in person.  It is just brighter and has more colors that we can work with.

I can't thinking of anything else right now, but I'll try to post a pic tonight!
