Pregnancy Updates ...

25 week OB visit ....
Yesterday we went for our 25 week OB check up! We were so excited for our growth ultrasound and very happy my Mom and Gary were both able to come. Measurements were great ..
Harper's weight 1 lb 12oz and Stella 1 lb 14 oz.

We were all so shocked to see how much their little faces had changed just in 2 weeks! Both babies measured above average .. Harper being in the 59th percentile and Stella being in the 64th percentile. I couldn't believe Stella weighed two ounces more than Harper, she has always measured several days behind him and a few ounces smaller! Im assuming she has had the same cravings as mommy lately! Speaking of I have never been a huge fan of sweets but sugar cookies seem to be my favorite these days ... actually I think its anything SWEET!! I guess I better start preparing myself for the glucose test I will be having in a little over a week!!

Both babies have been very active for quite some time now and it seems like at almost every OB visit someone doesn't want to cooperate, this time it happened to be our little princess with her arm across her face ... the ultrasound tech said she was being a little dramatic yesterday !!

Dr Beck also gave us exciting news about DELIVERY, the VERY lastest they will make their first appearance will be August 12th. However she did offer us a few dates, and we are hoping things work out for a August 8th. That's if we are able to PLAN .. but she also reminded me with a MULTIPLE pregnancy there are NO guarantees of anything being planned and if she had to guess "THEY" .. as in Stella and Harper would decide on their OWN birthdays!

Nursery Update ...
I think we have had our cribs/furniture put together since we were appoximately 16 weeks and since then I've been way to lazy to decorate. My mom spent this past weekend IRONING all the pieces to each of their sets of bedding! I'm sure the bedding will be taken off several times before their arrival and washed and ironed again if she has anything to do with it ...
A couple of days before Mother's Day, Gary took me to "look" at gliders ... meanwhile he knew the ones he really liked just wanted Mommy's approval.We decided on a Storytime Glider by Best Chairs, definitely went with comfort first instead of looks since we will both be spending LOTS of time "rocking/gliding"! This is a simular picture but our's will come in "oyster", and of course it want be here for 8-10 more weeks!!



Gary is off to a wedding in Oklahoma this weekend so my mom and I plan to start putting the finishing touches on the nursery! I reallly hope its not another month before I "blog" again ... but until then ....
