Yesterday morning we had our "Big" ultrasound, which is where most people find out the sex of the baby. 2 Girls was confirmed once again! They looked perfect! Baby B is a total diva, she wiggled her way in every picture they tried to take of Baby A. We will have to go back for another ultrasound in 3 weeks to take another look at Baby A -- aw shucks! Its so much fun to look at them wiggling around and having a personality, already! Baby B cracked us up, she did everything she could to constantly be on the monitor. Baby B is a little bigger than Baby A which I think is opposite of how it was. The nurse said that was nothing to be concerned about, they will continue to watch their growth and development to make sure they stay right in line with where they should be.
We have new ultrasound photos, we'll try to get them posted sometime next week.

Oh, and half way there?!? Crazy!
Also, can you believe I'm half way there? Since the expected gestation period for twins is only 38 weeks and as of tomorrow I'll be 19 weeks along, I'm at least half way there!! I can't believe it!! I feel like this all just started yesterday. And with the Holidays coming, time is going to FLY by!! Yea!!!!
OOPS... its been too long
SO SORRY, Katie... my only regular. I love the fact that you notice when I don't update the blog! Thank you!!!
Not too much is new. I guess I never officially announced that we KNOW we are having 2 girls. We went in for a routine dr appointment a couple of weeks ago and the midwife wasn't able to distinguish 2 separate heartbeats (because the beats were so close together), so she called for an ultrasound. The tech, Cassie, was the same girl that did our last ultrasound, when she guessed it was 2 girls. When I reminded her of that she said she better double check to make sure she was right, and she was!!
I am feeling the babies wiggling and kicking ALL THE TIME now, its such a wonderful feeling! David hasn't been able to feel them yet as they are not very predictable. I am also having a horrible time with indigestion, so, I guess our girls will have full heads of hair! I can't wait to see them and hold them. Its going to be soooo thrilling.
This past weekend was our first official "baby planning" weekend. David and I started out our day early by garage sale-ing to see if there were any specials out there. No such luck. So then we went to Babies R Us, which is not close to us and we started our registry, which was totally overwhelming!! I keep hearing, you don't need 2 of everything just because you're having twins, but you pretty much do! You don't need 2 of the big things, but you do need double of all the little things, like onesies, towels, bibs, bottles, lotion, etc. So, David and I are now constantly calculating how much we are going to be investing in our babies lives over the next few months. It is overwhelming, but WONDERFUL!
Check our our registry at Babies R Us, and we have one started at Target too... If you check out Target you will see the baby bedding we like. I'm so glad we found something we both like that isn't over $300. Spending $600 on bedding is insane! The one we picked out at Target is only $150 per set. I think thats doable.
Our next ultrasound is this Friday. Its technically our "big" ultrasound (where you find out the sex) but since we already know that, it should be pretty routine. They will look at everything, hands, feet, head, face, heart, etc just to make sure everything looks good. I can't wait! I cherish every opportunity to see them.
Our major big news: Lorren is having a girl too!!! So we will have 3 little girls in the family all within a few weeks!!! I'm so glad our girls are going to have a girl cousin close to their age. It'll be so much fun!!

Weird Dream I had Last night...
Okay so I haven't posted anything in a while and its not due to a lack of things to say so much as fear in peoples lack of interest in my pointless ramblings.
Last night, however, I had a dream that thought would be fun to share. I'm not sure how it all started but the first thing I remember was being in the hospital getting ready for the babies to arrive (at one point I may have even been the one pregnant and giving birth which was WAY weird). Anyway, like half way through delivery we realized we didn't have a private room and in fact we were just out in the open in the ER. So, I made them stop everything and move as to a private room so the whole of Atlanta wasn't watching as we birth our twins. They gave me grief about cost and I told them I didn't care cause I had good insurance. We moved to our private room and preceded to give birth to the twins ( at this point I had come to my senses and relized that I would not be the pregnant one so my roles had reversed and now Joelle was the one pushing them out... not me!) . So room and Gender roles in order things continued pretty normal until the twins popped up out of Jo's belly (in a cute "jack-in-the box" kinda way, not a creepy "Aliens" way). The doctor plucked them out and handed them over to us. Then the craziest thing was that the babies were immediately 5 years old and talking to us (still in the private hospital room, still the day of their birth, they were just born at the age of 5 apparently). The only thing I remember discussing with them was their names and how they didn't like them. I don't know what names we had chosen but they really hated them so we changed them to whatever they wanted. Then I woke up!
That dream really got me thinking though, How much easier would this whole naming thing be if they babies could only tell us what they wanted to be named when they were born!?! No books of 1000 names or naming charts or Polls on blogs... Just asked the baby! What a great world it would be!
Okay that's my 2 cents for the day! I'll write more later (and maybe it'll be more coherent and less crazy dream?!)
