T minus 100 days and counting

If you take a glance over to the right on the home page, you will see that the counter has just drop below the 100 day mark!

Twins are unlikely to go to full term so in reality, we're probably actually counting down about 10 weeks left - that sounds like a scarily short amount of time! I'd better get back to the painting...

Decoration for the Nation (well, the twins actually)

Decorating the nursery has commenced! This last weekend was spent sanding, painting the ceiling and giving the walls a first coat.

We've kept things neutral. No pinks, no blues - but we are putting up a border. Anyone any idea what you stick these things up with??? :-)

Gotta take a break....

We went to Harrods today for a little wander around the baby section (and check out the sale!). Clair's at the stage now where plenty of breaks are required. Hence the picture in the nursing chair! We're thinking of replacing every chair in the house with these - including the foot stools!!

25 Weeks picture added!

New pic in the slideshow over on the right hand side of the homepage.

Babygrows, Bibs and Booties (x2)

Nursery Project Phase 1 complete. That is clearing out the cupboard in the nursery, putting together a chest of drawers from Ikea and hanging up all the cool clothes that we've accumulated over the last few months.

It brought a tear to our eyes!!

Anyone got any spare room?

Despite being told that the pram was on an 8 week delivery, we got a call yesterday to say that it's arrived! A full one week from date of order. This is starting to feel all a bit real now.

Superstition dictates that the pram can't be within a five mile radius of the house (or something) hence it's going to need to be housed in a secure facility (aka the grandparents) for a few months.

On top of that the cots have also been delivered! Here's a link to a pic of them.

We were going to get two cotbeds, which would last until the twins were a lot older. However, that would've meant them learning to climb out of bed on their own, as there was no way we would have been able to get in the room!

In the meantime, until the nursery is decorated, the cots will have to live with the mice in the garage...

Twin A - The Movie

Here's the video of Twin A

See the post below for details....

Twin B - The Movie

Want to see one of the twins in motion?

We went for a 3D scan today. It's still a bit too early to see them clearly, but we did get some video of them in plain old 2D form. Click on the play button to view.

The video is in two parts; this part is Twin B. At the end of each part, there's a bit where you should be able to hear their heartbeats. It's a bit quiet and you may need to turn up the sound on your PC.

We're going to go back for another try at the 3D scan in about 3 weeks. Watch this space!

Keeping 'afoot' of the situation...

Take a look at these size twelves!

Another couple of scan pics

Another consultant visit today. I managed to get a couple more pics done! They're not as clear as some of the others but there is some definite babyness going on!
