Almost 33 weeks

Checkup at the OB today, everything good! Heartbeats are 140-150 for Baby A and 160's for Baby B. Cervix nice and closed, fetal fibronectin (predicts probability of preterm labor in the next two weeks) negative.

I can't believe how close it's getting! We've had the nursery painted for a few weeks now, but not really anything else. We got a futon to put in there for nursing/ holding babies purposes as well as grandparent overnight visits. However, there is no mattress on the futon, as Brown Squirrel Furniture tried to tell us the one we were buying was brand new, in spite of the black dog fur all over the tan mattress. :P

Now, Husband has gotten first child's old crib and changing table out of the attic and put together today, and my friend is coming over tomorrow to help me wash and put away new baby stuff. Things are coming together, and I'm feeling better about this the more we get done. I'm still pretty overwhelmed with the idea of TWO infants plus a preschooler to feed, clothe, change and entertain for twenty four hours EVERY DAY, but... I guess we'll see how it goes.

Getting started!

Well, I guess I can thank Maggie, aka Karen, for getting me into this! :P I *was* just going to check out her blog, but it kept asking me if I was creating my own and do this, do that, so sure enough I did! So, here I am I suppose, as if Facebook and Twitter weren't enough outlets for me. I'm kind of hoping to use this really as a record of life with my four, almost 5 year old daughter, and the twin boys I'm expecting any time in the next month or two. We'll see how much I actually get to come and write, but I'll try since I've started!
