Our baby shower was held on Saturday, November 22nd at dbar. The work that was put into my shower from the food, to decorations, to favors, to gifts, and everything in between was absolutely amazing! Mom made the cutest favors and they were such a huge hit. She sewed 3 wash cloths together to make baby pj's and they hung clothes lines all over dbar and had them hanging all over the restaurant! Brian and Chris did such a great job with the food too! Everyone had such a great time! The cake was absolutely beautiful - Mom and Heidi did a great job on that!! (I'll post pictures soon)
We got so many amazing gifts and I can't beleive how wonderful everyone is! Our parents got us the car seats and bases for the car, we got our stroller from Paula, Mimi and Jeanne, and we got so many clothes, blankets, and special gifts for the twins. It took 3 car loads to get everything home and for a while we couldn't even walk into the living room. Mom and Steve came back to our house afterwards and we went through everything again. David didn't see most of it the first time because he was too busy playing bartender! We organized everything and even put a few things together!
I'm so excited to wash everything and put it away so the nursery comes together even more!!! A huge thank you to Mom for organizing everything and making sure everything went perfectly! A special thanks to Heidi and Nana for making the trip from Nebraska! It was so special to have them both there to share in my special day! And i can't forget Lynn, Shanni and Marci - without you three I think I'd still be opening my gifts! Love you all!

24 weeks
Well as I'm sitting in my office - everything is packed - I only have my laptop and phone (oh and a random spoon) on my desk...we are finally moving to our brand new Admission Office! The excitement is in our office because we finally have a new change! It's been a long time coming...
I'm starting off this blog with the changes at work and referencing it being a long time coming...that's how I feel today with this pregnancy. I am just so excited and so overwhelmed. This weekend is going to be busy! I'm leaving work tonight to head into Boston. I'm having dinner with Heidi and Nana (who flew in from Nebraska). They made the special trip for my baby shower (which is this weekend). I'm staying over Brian's and spending the day with Heidi tomorrow and Nana is then coming to Leominster for dinner and to see our condo.
Saturday is the big day! Mom has been going non-stop trying to plan everything and get everything organized for the shower! I'm so excited and looking forward to it - I'll post more about it after Saturday as well as some pictures.
As I type this, David is sending me instant messages saying he is doing a pool for the babies due date / time. So...if you want to purchase a square, let us know! hahaha
I don't think I wrote about this before - but those of you who don't know, my best friend Lisa is pregnant too! The very strange thing is we have the same due date (March 12) - It's been so exciting going day by day with our stories and being able to share this pregnancy with someone (who knows what I'm goign through...well for the most part) She only has 1 baby in her belly...which we are now calling "Baby Elvis" - her mom is a huge Elvis fan and her dad thinks it would be funny to name the baby Elvis! Lisa and Matt are not finding out what they are having and so it will be a real surpise if "Baby Elivs" is indeed a girl...which I think it is!
As for this week - I'm feeling good, but I'm starting to get a sore throat. I must load up on Vitamin C and make sure I'm taking my vitamins. I can't afford to get sick! My belly is still growing by the second and the babies are kicking like crazy! It feels like they are having a disco in my belly!
That's the news for now on the prego front! Have a good weekend...it's going to be a COLD one!

Doctor Update
Well I had my 23 week check up yesterday - all looks good in baby land! The doctor said that my uterus is measuring at a 29 week pregnant person (no wonder I'm so huge!!!!). He said that after looking at my ultrasound pictures that both babies are measuring a week ahead of schedule - and he said that's good! I've only gained another 5 lbs since my last appointment...so I'm not gaining 500lbs which I thought I would do!
On another note - was really sick again last night! I am at work (yes it's Saturday) but I'm going on 3 hours of sleep. I've been up since 1:30 and was sick as a dog!!! I'm thinking it must have been the Pizza I had for dinner - but then again - who knows! I'm just so tired of puking and I can't stand it anymore! I just can't wait to get my babies out of my belly so I can get my body back to some form of normalcy - I don't know how anyone is bullemic - I hate puking! hahah

23 weeks
Well I've made it to 23 weeks - I'm hoping to get to the 35 week mark but after this week, not sure if I can...I was up at 12:30 this a.m. - wide awake until about 4:30! I'm going for my check up tomorrow and hopefully the doctor can give me some sort of sleep aid - this is getting ridiculous! I also got sick...AGAIN this morning. Huff!
On a positive note - I received a few more baby clothes from my friend Shanni's sister - they are so adorable! That's it for now - back to work for me!

22.5 weeks
Things are going pretty good - It's been a rough week. I'm starting to have a hard time getting around due to the fact I am HUGE! LOL I'm going to my 23 week check up on Friday - so hopefully all looks good. I'll be having another ultrasound on "black Friday" - (the day after Thanksgiving). I'm excited for this one because it is a 3-D & 4D ultrasound. We will get a movie of the babies playing in my belly...and they set it to music too!
The nursery is coming along - David hung up the shelf his brother Greg made and I put a few of my willow tree "twin" statues on it - along with a "two peas in a pod" picture frame I found. I also bought the kids "Take Home" outfits. I saw them and I just fell in love with them! The pink sweater that is with Baby Girl's outfit - is the sweater I came home in...And it matches the outfit. My shower is less than 2 weeks away - so I want to make sure everything in the room is set and put away before we bring home more gifts :-) I'm so excited! Mom and Bri have worked hard to get everything ready - and Heidi and Nana are flying in ... I'm just so excited I can't wait!!!!!!
The downfall of my week has been we had to find my kitties a new home :-( David hated all of the cat hair and didn't want the babies to be around it all - but the big issue was Dominic is now allergic to cats! We found a friend to take both of them and it was VERY hard to let them go. I think I cried all day Friday & Saturday. If David looked at me wrong I started to cry! They are with our friend Brooke who has twins as well - they are 6 years old and they love the cats! Brooke sent me a few pictures of them and the first night Oreo was curled up in bed with her son and Midnight was in the carrier basically saying - bring me home! The 2nd day they hid under her bed all day and right before she put her daughter to bed - one of the kitties peed on it! (OOPS) - They want to come home...and I don't blame them! :-)
