And the names are...
The boy is Joshua Robert. Robert is after my paternal grandpa and my only uncle, who passed away 2 years ago. The name means "God Saves" which is a pretty powerful message.
The girl is Emma Sophia. Sophia is after my maternal grandma. I never thought I would select a more popular name but I cant explain it, she feels like an Emma. And she already likes the name- she kicks like crazy when I call her by the name :)
So there they are. It feels even more real to have names for our babies. I have a growth ultrasound tomorrow and my 27 week (along with my GD test) on Wednesday so I will post an update then.
I hope everyone had a good Monday!

Nursery Pictures
1. The rug that matches our decor
2. To purchase and hang up a frame that has 12 slots in it for the babies' monthly pictures
3. Decide if Im going to hang anything over their cribs. I dont want to do their full names but maybe their first initial? It kinda goes with the whole Alphabet Soup theme. To be decided....
Anyways, here goes:
Full View (or as much as I could get)
(Changing table with wall hangings)
(Dresser with quote over it)
(Girl Baby Clothes)
(Boy Baby Clothes)
So its coming along! Maybe I will try to pick up the frame (I saw one at Michael's) this weekend and decide on the possible initial letter over their crib. I would also be able to buy the actual letters this weekend because we do have names picked out! But that info will have to be for another post. I have a few more people Id like to tell before I put it in my blog. But I promise to tell soon!
Have a great weekend!

99 bottles of beer...
Things are good over here, not much new to report. We have our last childbirth class tomorrow, Dan goes to Daddy Boot Camp on Saturday, the nursery is almost done (I promise to post pics by the end of the week- so cute!) and my shower invites have offically been mailed. Some of the other things we are working on are car shopping (all indications point to a minivan in our future), selecting a pediatrician and reading about breastfeeding. Oh the excitement!
This will be short for today. I think Im going to celebrate my new double digit status with some ice cream. Hope everyone is having a good day!
All things bright and beautiful You are
All things wise and wonderful You are
In my darkest night, You brighten up the skies

Recent Twin Purchases
1. Vinyl Wall Quote

The picture is from the EBAY site where I purchased the quote, seller is ag-auctions, in case you are interested. It says "Two angels sent from above, double the blessings and twice the love" I love it and plan to put it over the changing table, which is in between both of their cribs.
2. Baby Hats with Ears
I literally almost die from the cuteness of these babies in the hats. Also from EBAY, the seller is lilylushoppe1216. I ordered the boy the darker blue and the girl a darker pink. I am already swooning when I think about how stinkin' cute they will be in the hats.
Just wanted to share some of my cute purchases!

Whats been goin' on?
All furniture set up (the other crib is directly to the left)
OMG, Im getting so big! Its funny because my legs, arms and booty are all the same size but then it looks like I swallowed a huge watermelon. I know I need to get used to the belly because, lets be honest, its not going to get smaller anytime soon!
Finally, today is 24 weeks, which is Viability Day. Its the first time that the babies have a chance (statistically) of surviving outside of the womb. Although I hope they stay put for a long, long time, it is a milestone and Im all about recognizing any milestone I hit. So happy V-Day babies! Mama Loves You! :)
Hope everyone is having a good week!
