Check out our latest home improvement! It has been so fun making our house feel like a home. We have been "nesting" and putting lots of energy in choosing different household items that never really seemed important before. For example we finally just ordered a bed for our new mattress. For the last 8 years that we have been in Bend, our bed has been on the floor of our bedroom. We always loved where we lived, but always knew that we wouldn't be there for the long haul, so it just wasn't a priority. I think the move into this new house has felt so right, and it finally feels like the time to make some of these investments.
Anyway, another fun project has been this cherry blossom decal in Piper's room. It was a birthday present from Piper's Grandpa Richard and Grammie Lynn - Thank you!!! We didn't know what we were getting ourselves into when we started, but over the last 2 weeks, we have probably spent more that 10 hours placing the tree and each and every blossom on the wall. It has been a fun project and Piper loves it. What an improvement from her first "room" - the dead end hallway in our rental house!
And finally as promised, here is the latest belly picture, I am almost 33 weeks pregnant! Last week I wasn't feeling that great, really waddling around and wondering if any activity was going to send me into labor. I felt like a walking time bomb! Then on Thursday I had my doctors appointment and got some reassurance that as long as I wasn't in pre-term labor, meaning having real contractions, walking around wasn't going to send me into labor. So after I left the appointment, the time bomb feeling went away and I felt ten times better - I think my head was getting the best of me.
The bad news from my appointment was that twin B flipped and is no longer in the head down facing position. A heart breaker for the hopeful VBAC I was wanting to experience. I am handling the news better than I would have guessed, but still disappointed.
Overall I am feeling great and excited for this wild ride of twins and a two year old. Our long list of to-do's is getting shorter, which feels good. One last major purchase will be the mini van, we are bummed to have to give up the Subaru, but realize that swallowing our pride and tossing out our cool card is for the greater good of practicality.
