Mother's Day

Well, Joy is almost a mom. She is on the bubble at this point as the twins are almost viable. She is more then half way there. So I picked her up some cards one from the kids and one from me. I also got her some chocolates from a friend's chocolate shop. They have some of the best stuff around.

The kids are getting more and more squirrely, but I still can't feel them. It seems they are always moving now. It is either one baby or the other it seems. They are already on different schedules so wish us luck :).

We also started the babies' room. We have been throwing out junk and getting donation piles setup. It is amazing how much stuff you build up that you just don't need. I was also able to get a coat of paint on the ceiling which was looking a little dingy. Plus, I had to paint the closet ceiling anyway. The previous owner thought it was a good idea to paint the ceiling in there the same off white color as the walls. Ugh. Well, there are loads of things to do, but it is coming along.

We have also scored some wonderful items. One friend gave us a stroller for when they are a little older. Another is letting us borrow one that we can use right away to snap the car seats in. So, $800 dollar stroller purchase averted. We also have the car seats as an early shower gift. Woohoo, the twins have a way to get home now.

Now, I think we need to start collecting diapers. I still can't wrap my head around how many we will go through in a month. I've been told by several people to start stocking up on diapers. We figured we would stick to pampers at first (another friend suggested that) until we know how sensitive their bums are. Formula too, but we do not know what their little tummies will agree on so we don't want to load up on that.....

Things are still rolling along. We will be at 24 weeks in just 5 more days....wow! Joy has 4 appointments next week and then another 3 the week after that, then she goes into Club Duke for what we hope is about 6-7 fast weeks.

Thank you again, everyone has been so kind. We often talk about how we can't believe how many people are following this blog and how many people want to help. We really appreciate it and are glad to be surrounded by so many great people.
