A Smorgasbord of Thoughts

Apparently I am not so good at this whole posting thing.  I thought I would be so on top of it, posting at least once a week, but it seems as though three more weeks have passed since my last post.  So I apologize now, but this post is going to be comprised of all of the random thoughts that have been flying through my head over the past couple of weeks.  On the bright side, I am actually going to post pictures in this post.  I know, write it down  :  )

• About three weeks ago, Mr. Type B and I decided it was time to trade in our ancient paper weights (ahem, cell phones) and get with the times.  So during our hunt for smart phones, the sales associate boldly asked me when I was due.  I quickly responsed with "Oh, my contract was up on my phone about 2.5 years ago."  She gave me a puzzled look and then pointed at my belly.  What?!  A complete stranger was bold enough to ask me when I was due?!  I thought this day would never come.  Mr. Type B just laughed and politely reminded me that I do indeed look very pregnant.

• About two weeks ago, a very close friend of my mom's sent us two onsies that look like this.

I was so moved when I opened the box they came in, that my eyes welled up.  It's so special to have such thoughtful people in our lives.

• I've been feeling the babies kick for quite a while now, but two fridays ago, Mr. Type B was able to feel them from the outside  :  )   I can honestly say that I have never seen the man so excited...and I've known him for 12 years!  That moment was the best I've had so far during this pregnancy, next to hearing the heart beats for the first time of course.  

• I'm ashamed to admit it, but I did something that I swore I would never do!  At least I swore I never would while experiencing three long years of crappy infertility coupled with a bagillion visits to Babies R Us for dreaded baby shower gifts.   



Well I did it and it felt good!  I felt it was only appropriate to photograph it.  See ladies, don't give up!

Keep hoping and praying and busting your butt and you'll get to experience these super corny moments too.  Although not so corny for those of us who had to jump through firery hoops to get here.

• We have finally started working on the nursery and I have been photographing our progress.  Of course we have only completed some wall art so far, but nonetheless this is a great step in the right direction.  Here are a few photos of our work in progress.

The Beginnings of a Tree



Now for the Leaves

Finished Product!

Now we just need to start building the cribs.......fingers crossed we'll be able to finish them this weekend. 

• We had a great visit with Maternal Fetal Medicine earlier this week!  Not only are the babies looking perfect, but we were able to see their faces with the help of 3D technology! It was so amazing; I can't stop staring at them : )  I've dreamt of becoming a mom for so long that it's surreal to watch all of my dreams come true right before my very own eyes.  Somebody pinch me!
