New Bookshelves

Today my Dad installed new bookshelves along a wall in our living room. Here's a picture of them now.
We still have to put in all the shelves. The great thing is that they're adjustable - he just put lots of holes on the sides. I'm very excited as I've had to search through boxes for the past year to find my books. Also, now we're going to move the office furniture into that room - freeing up the nursery for baby stuff!

Black Friday

Happy Black Friday!!! Charlie and I did not get up early to go shopping and have no plans to do so for the rest of the day. I know a time will come when I'll have to be out fighting the shoppers to get THE TOY, but till then, we're taking it easy. We had a nice day at the Allgeiers yesterday and today we're having dinner with the Rademakers. I hope everyone has a good weekend.

New Blog

Welcome to our blog - dedicated to the growth of our twins! The twins were conceived using IVF in June 2006. The official due date is March 7, 2007 - but we expect them to be here in February 2007. We are not finding out the genders, so they will be referred to as Baby A and Baby B. They are named such as Baby A is the lower baby and would be born first in a vaginal delivery. Here are the stats as of November 17, 2006:

Baby A ~ Heartbeat - 168, weight 1lb 8oz
Baby B ~ Heartbeat - 148, weight 1lb 11oz

Everything looked good at the check in. As of now I am 25 weeks along. Our biggest hope is to make it to at least 34 weeks, which would be Jan. 24, 2007.

Here are pictures from Oct. 20, 2006 (20 weeks) for Baby A - Arm and Foot
















Here are pictures of Baby B from Nov. 17, 2006 (24 weeks):

We could not get pictures of Baby A's head because Baby B's bottom is in the way.

And here's a picture of the expectant mother today, Nov. 22, 2006 (25 weeks)

I'll try to keep things updated along the way. Our next appointment is Dec. 12, 2006.
