Huh, this has been a project over the past several weeks and we are still far from finished...but i wanted to post some pics of our progress!
Tim has been laboring over the past couple weeks to sand & paint these two cribs, they turned out awesome, he did such a great job! He is still working on the dresser, but hopefully itll be done within the next week or so, ill post of pic of it once finished.
Okay, about the car seats and Snap & Go stroller!... Had always planned on purchasing new (since they are so important and you never know if you purchase them used if the person is lying about possibly being in an accident or maybe the person is just gross, you never know...) but when i found this deal and met the girl i couldnt pass it up! I found them on Craigslist, i called the girl Rebecca about a twins nursing pillow she was selling and after talking a bit she told me about the car seats and stroller she was also trying to get rid of...I had a good feeling about it and went to her house to take a look- she was super nice and was actually LDS! We totally hit it off, she has 9 month old twin boys, she was able to give me the 'DL' on twins...:) The car seats were hardly used...I bought the 2 car seats and Snap & Go double stroller for $130!! Huh, it was such a relief to save so much money and feel comfortable buying them used.
I wanted to put new car seat covers on them and found this girl that makes custom baby EVERYTHING on Craigslist! (I love Craigslist)... She does such a great job and its all for a really good price. Here is her website if you want something made! www.BeanzThingz.shutterfly.com. So my good friend Jenny and i headed to Hobby Lobby and she pushed me around in a wheelchair while i picked out the fabric for the car seats and crib bedding. It was blast, and SOOO nice to get out of the house! I ended up matching the crib bedding with the car seats cause i loved the patterns so much.
Okay about the room-I cant wait for it to be finished! Skyler will sleep in Zane`s room until she can walk then we will decorate her room, this seems to be the best way to go so i dont have all of her things in one room and his in the other...that would just be wayyy toooo much work to get them dressed and changed 10 times a day!... The twins will sleep together in Zane`s crib until one of them starts to roll, then i will move Skyler into her own crib...The research i have done on twins says this is the best way to go...But we will see what works best for my set.
We still have to paint some random thick black strips on the walls and get in big black letters 'YAMAHA' in vinyl to put over the cribs...the room will be done in black and white pictures of dirt bikes & antiques dirt bikes, along those lines...i cant wait to see the finished product...The room will have just a little bit of hot pink randomly for Skyler.
Ill post pics from both my baby showers! It was soo fun and i got A LOT of great stuff! Thanks to everyone that helped and everyone that came! Thank you, thank you!
I get my cerclage out in about 6 weeks...so in 6 weeks i am OFF bed rest & could deliver these twins as soon as they are ready!!! Time has flown by!

Skyler`s crib and bedding- has just a hint of hot pink with black, dark gray and white. Perfect.
Zane`s crib and bedding- love the pattern. huh...
I love that i am being blessed with not one but two.
The car seat covers i had made, LOVE THEM!
The car seat with the black cover i had made- so no unwanted hands can touch my little ones :)

whats up
This past weekend Tim and I headed to my home town Phx for my youngest brother Michael`s last weekend here before he leaves for his mission in Argentina!! He is such an amazing little brother and i know he will be an amazing missionary!! Michael will be the 5th person in my family to go on a Spanish speaking mission!!
It was sooo nice to get out of the house and visit family and hang out with Michael before he leaves on Wednesday...
While the entire family went off to church on Sunday to listen to Michael`s talk i took a nap on the couch and missed it :( I was really sad but i know its all for a good cause!!
So we took lots of picture this weekend but i REFUSE to put any up that show my face!! When i am not looking in the mirror or at a picture of myself i feel like i am still 120lbs but reality strikes when i do! I am okay with gaining weight because i know its for the babies and their health...and i would rather be complaining about gaining then just being skinny and wishing i was prego... :) Never in my life have i ever been sooo motivated to work out in my life and i cant!! Only a couple more months and i will be hitting the gym!! huh! What makes it even worse is Tim is in total workout mode! (he has ALWAYS had a nice body...) but his body only gets better while i sit back and watch mine just get worse!! I have to post this pic, i just love my husband and i love his body!

My lover, showing off this sexy body.(About 2 weeks ago he started this new workout program and starting taking new supplements so i will post an "after" pic once he has reached his goal weight) He is such a hard worker and is such an inspiration to me to hit the gym asap!! I am so in love with this man and the fact that he is so nice to look at is the cherry on top!!! I wouldnt have it any other way!! He is always reminding me how i WILL get back to my pre-baby body and that i CAN and WILL...(sense the push at the end...)
25wks 4dys- This is probably the only way you will be seeing any pics of my belly is with my hair covering my face!! Lol...Mike was so cute with my belly! He always put his hand my my tummy at the perfect time...right when the babies would kick! Im so glad he got to feel them move for the 1st and last time.
Tim and Michael right after he gave his talk...

Prego talk
A list of things that are different this pregnancy from the last...now that im past the point of my past pregnancy...
• A small bit of comfort in knowing that my water wouldn’t coincidentally break the same day that it did last time and it is possible for my body to carry past the point of 19wks 3 days.
• When im actually standing for the couple minutes that I do stand my tummy feels VERY heavy…
• I cant see under my belly any longer so I am unable to shave…at all!!! Huh its uncomfortable and sucks!!!
• The babies move soooo much. Its weird cause one side of my belly will move and then the other will do it at the same time, it’s a crazy thing having more then one in there.
• Its hard for me to sleep and im only 22wks! I feel huge. Its hard to get comfortable, my tummy is so heavy when im laying on my side…even with a pillow under it its still uncomfortable.
• I HONESTLY get up minimum 4 times a night to go pee. ITS TRUE! I count…lol
• Tim was able to feel the babies kick and move around for the first time the other day and it was an amazing feeling to see him in that small way he can right now connect with the twins, it mad me sad to think he never got to feel the other set of twins in my tummy.
• Its an exciting feeling to be so close to 24wks (since that’s when babies are viable…If they are born they will be taken to the NICU, and will at least be given a chance at life rather then just set on my tummy and watch them pass) that’s where I wished I could`ve been last time I was prego… its still SUPER early but it’s a good feeling to know that if they were born something will be done to attempt to keep them alive.
• Being on bed rest is super boring, I never thought id say I actually look forward to work after the weekend cause I actually GET to do something rather then watch tv, read, eat and sleep. Saturdays and Sundays are soo boring the back of my head hurts by the end of the day from laying down on it all day long, its ridiculous! (but for a good cause of course : )
• I didn’t mention this in my first post… I am unable to have sex this entire pregnancy, yup. Ever since I got my Cerclage in at 14wks not one bit of sex! Its craziness. So if you see my husband and he seems a little on edge you know why…poor guy!!! Its kinda funny to me because we didn’t have sex to become prego (since we did IVF fertility) and now we cant have sex during the pregnancy… its like its not even necessary with the technology we have these days… haha.
My weekly appointments are going great, the babies are strong and are growing just fine. My cervix hasnt changed at all since 16wks and is still measuring at a 3.5cm...nice and long, right where it needs to stay!
