Sweet Gifts

I love love love getting gifts in the mail. The two that came today are absolutely precious. I have many more I plan on putting up soon. We've been busy here at the house, but I haven't forgotten my blog! Just trying to get things done before the twins decide to make an appearance.

My baby shower is this weekend, so I'll be posting pics of my cake and my gifts. See you then!

Pottery Barn Kid's Sale

Pottery Barn Kids is having a sale. Had I not already purchased a diaper bag, I may have gotten this Petunia Pickle Bottom backpack. Apparently, they're some of the best around.

There are also lots of wallpapers, decals, bedding sets, etc. on sale. Check it out!

New Diaper Bag!

I got a new diaper bag today! WOO HOO! I am super excited because: 1) It's houndstooth--Roll Tide! 2) It's a Kalencom, and I've heard rave reviews. My little refund check from the University is serving me (and the twins) well. The style is called Jackie O' and it was the only one left on Amazon. I've heard they're discontinued, but you might could check Ebay, or even just Google it.

My one little issue is that this one isn't laminated. I guess they just didn't do it for this style???? Anyway, I feel like this will suit Jaye and Lyla just fine, and I get to show my Alabama spirit every time I go out. My babies are meant to be Bama fans!

3D Pictures

Here are two of the best 3D pictures we got yesterday. Little Lyla was not cooperating, so you won't be seeing here until she decides to greet the world in a few weeks. These pictures are of Jaye. We cannot wait to meet him!

I have two very active babies, so things look a little distorted. At one point during the ultrasound, Jaye yawned, and I think it was the sweetest thing I've ever seen.











We had our ultrasounds done at 4D Sneak Peek in Jackson, TN. The lady who helped us had twin girls of her own. She and I were able to relate and chat about all things baby. She worked really hard to get a good pic of Lyla, but all we got were some knees and elbows. Once we get our CD in the mail, I will upload those. There's not a whole lot of room in my belly and throughout the ultrasound, Lyla had her rear end up in the air with her legs over her face. I cannot even imagine how that would be comfortable. Jaye took up most of the room (typical boy) and was stretched all the way out. Lyla said, "Well, take this!" Her bottom was right in his face the whole time. If you are interested in getting a 3D or 4D ultrasound, I recommend this company. We were treated well, the ultrasound gel was warm and the table was comfortable. Stay tuned for the video (if we can get it uploaded)!

4D Ultraounds

Our 4D ultrasound is today and I am super excited. My husband has been looking forward to this for weeks, and I honestly didn't care, but now that it's here, I can't wait! I debated on whether or not we should spend the money, especially since I am not working right now. Thankfully, the University of Cincinnati (where I attend grad school) came through, and sent us a refund check.

I'm 26 weeks tomorrow, so the girl was a little unsure of how our pictures would turn out, which makes me nervous. However, these could very well be our first and last kiddos, and you don't get a do-over on things like this. If there is a next time, we'll know if the expense was worth it. If you live in Western TN, and are interested in getting a 4D, I suggest 4D Sneak Peek in Jackson. The price was pretty reasonable, but still more than a regular ultrasound. Check back later for pics!

Have any of you had a 3D or 4D? Was it worth it?

Pick Me Up Love!

Inspired by a post from Angie Mizzel, I thought I'd share this nugget of JOY with you to start your day off right. If you aren't smiling at the end of the video, or even shedding a tear, I feel sorry for you.

Hug someone today!

A Cool Mist...

Look what I got in the mail today!

Owl Cool Mist Humidifier

It's my new humidifier and isn't it sweet?!? I don't know if anyone else is currently preggers, but if you are, or if you plan on being that way soon, hear this : YOUR NOSE WILL CEASE TO FUNCTION.

It's true. I can't breathe. I can't smell. All I can do is blow. And blow. And blow. It never stops, and it's almost like the minute my body realizes there is a narrow passage open in my nostril, it fights to close it. I told my fabulous OBGYN about my predicament and he suggested getting one of these babies. Now, I know he didn't mean this one exactly, but it was so cute I couldn't resist. And, the babies will need it in a few months, so it wasn't like I went out my way to spend money on something that would only be used for a short time.

Crane makes all kinds of fun creatures. My grandmother has an elephant. She's a young at heart :) I got mine on Amazon, but you can check anywhere and find one for a decent price. I'll let y'all know if it worked or not tomorrow.

Night y'all!
