Baby A and Baby B

Aren't they sweet? :)

Sweet Dreams

I'm continually amazed at some of the absolutely adorable nurseries I see. These are 2 of my favorites currently. I think what I'm really loving are all of the neutral colors, and adorable patterns. The more I look at nurseries, the more I realize that, regardless of boys, girls, or one of each, I really want a pretty gender neutral nursery. So this begs the question, should we really find out? Part of me thinks this would be incredibly fun

to not find out. Another part of me wants to find out simply because I feel like it will make it all more real, and I can start to imagine what their little faces will look like.

We also pretty much have names picked out for any potential scenario, so that would already be taken care of.

Regardless, I can't wait to meet little Luke, Leo, Sophie, or Camden. :)

crib confusion

Delta (non-drop side)

Da Vinci (drop side)

Ok, I am currently loving the Jenny Lind white crib. I have found 2 from 2 different brands. One is Delta, one is Da Vinci. There is about an $80 difference in price, and the Delta is a non-drop side crib, while the Da Vinci is a drop-side crib and therefore more expensive. I am wanting advice from anyone who has bought a crib. What is the difference between a non-drop side and drop side crib? Which would you recommend or does it matter?

The great debate

(striped pillow out of this set)

Ok, so our current bedding is on the bottom. We only have the duvet and euro shams from this set. I have never really been pleased with the euro shams. I do like our duvet, but I think it needs some spicing up. I would love to replace the euro shams with one of the above 2 options. I really like the look of "eclectic" bedding, so I don't want things to be too matchy-matchy. I have always greatly envied people who can mix patterns and colors well. I feel like my attempts usually end up looking like a blind person put it together. I'm leaning toward the top option for both price and color. My throw pillows on my bed are ivory colored. I would also love to get a cozy throw to put on the end of the bed, as well. I would love someone else's input!

cute and summery

Aaah...I am loving this adorable dress from Anthropologie (what's NOT to love about EVERYTHING in this store?) I thought this one was particularly darling. If my belly weren't growing at an incredible rate, I would consider greatly angering my husband and order it. :)

Speaking of my dear husband and pretty white dresses, we just celebrated our 2nd wedding anniversary yesterday! I'm truly amazed at how fun and amazing marriage has been. I'm incredibly blessed to spend every day with this man, and I can only imagine what fun the future holds. I hope I am still finding the little things that make me fall even more in love with him 50 years from now. I'm also unbelievably excited to see him be a daddy. I love watching him with our niece and nephews and other little kids, so I can only imagine how wonderful it will be to see him with our own. Two seems to be the magic number for us this year, and I can truly say that we are TWICE blessed. :)

Twinspiration

Ok, so the above pic I couldn't help but share because it is so stinkin' cute. I will be ordering these absolutely precious "munchkin" hats for my little ones to take darling pictures like this one. And to just put on them for my own amusement. I just want to kiss those sweet little faces! I still don't think it has truly hit me that I will have 4 sweet cheeks instead of 2 to smooch on.

And this is the new book I am very much looking forward to receiving in the mail. Let me just tell you that there are quite a large amount of "twin/multiple" books to choose from on Amazon. So how did I pick this one, you ask? It had the cutest cover and looked the least cheezy. Good strategy, I know. But it does advertise itself well on the cover since I DO need real-life advice from pregnancy through the first year...and beyond. And I suppose that books will have to do until I make more mommies-of-twins friends.

Speaking of....the current issue I am debating is whether or not to join the Moms of Multiples club of Edmond. Here is why I'm hesitant. I get extremely annoyed being around any person who is a know-it-all. And for some reason, I have seen many a normal person turn into a complete and total know-it-all, dispensing unwanted and un-asked-for parenting advice once they become a mom. It makes my skin crawl thinking about it. I can only imagine that moms of twins are twice as annoying (ie. "This is the only way to do this", "Well I do it this way because this is the best thing for my baby", "You have to have this toy/device/bottle, etc.", "Well so-and-so did it this way, and her baby is not as advanced as my baby", blah blah blah) You get the point, and I'm sure have all come in contact with a similar individual. Not that I don't want advice, because I do. And believe me I will ask you if you I want it. I just hope when it comes time for me to actually be a mommy that I am more like some moms I know, and less like others.

Ok, I'm done ranting. And somehow got horribly off topic. Multiples club. So I really want to join because I truly do want all the information I can get my hands on. The good, bad, and annoying. So that when it comes time to actually take care of these 2 little ones, I will have a variety of options to look at. I suppose I can always disappear if I find myself surrounded by mothers-of-twins monsters. What do you think?

My little birdies

Ok, I found this adorable plate on etsy and while I realize it's probably meant for newlyweds or a couple, I couldn't help but think it would be cute with my twins' names on it and their birthday. I would love to hang it in the nursery. Ironically, this could actually be their birthday! Sign? I think so.
