Weeks 23-24

Unfortunately, life got incredibly busy during these weeks since I was working 6 days/week and far too many hours, but are the highlights...

The iron pills seem to be working really well. I only had similar heart issues for about a week after the OB Triage visit. I did find that if I didn't eat when taking them I would get really nauseous. I typically don't feel that way when taken medicine with the "eat with a meal" warning. I'm curious if it is the pills or the pregnancy...

I finally finished our baby registry at Babies R Us. I had no clue it was going to be as hard as it was! They give you a huge list of "recommendations" for what to include and since I've never actually been around a baby for more than a couple hours, I didn't know what most of the items were. Thankfully, my mom, who went with me (for round 1), and then my mother-in-law & sister-in-law Tonya were a huge help in this department!

We nailed down a design for the nursery. I'm so excited and think the girls are going to love it! Well it may be a few years before they know what's going on and officially love it, but i'm certain they will. :)

While hanging out with my step-sister Lauren and her family who were visiting from Virginia, our family through us a surprise combo baby shower. We are both having girls and are only about 1 week apart. Lauren was approx 24 weeks & pregnant with her 3rd child, and I was 23 weeks. It was a delightful surprise and lots of fun. I also had another one of those crazy moments where the pregnancy hit me in a different way. I was in the middle of opening the girls presents when it dawned on me, this was for me because I was having a baby (well 2 babies). Though it was clearing nothing new I was learning, it seemed like a brand new concept and was absolutely thrilling.

Oldie but a Goodie!

I wasn't able to post this video before, but with my new laptop I can!

Kenny and I thought we would find out the genders at our 15 week ultrasound (at this point we thought we were at 16 weeks, almost 17), which is why took the video. We didn't find out the genders this week, but the video is still really fun to watch. :)
