18 weeks 1 day!

I can't believe I am almost halfway there. Since full term is 37 weeks, I will be to the halfway point in the next couple of days. That is very exciting. I feel great for the most part. Weight gain to this point is 17 pounds. Recommended weight gain for twins at 20 weeks is 20 pounds so I should be right on the mark!!! At 14 weeks I started to feel movement. Very faint movement. In the last couple of days the kicks are getting more easy to recognize than at 14 weeks!

The nursery bedding has been purchased!!! I came across bedding at Pottery Barn Kids that will work perfect for a boy girl nursery. Of course, it is discontinued so I had to purchase most of it off ebay. Luckily, I was able to find all the pieces. I can't wait to get it in so I can go pick paint colors and start painting. Well, my parents will paint the nursery. I think I will do stripes on the bottom though and they can paint the top and ceiling. Our ceilings and walls in the house are beige so the ceiling will need to be painted white. Here's the bedding:

My good friend Stacy has a very crafty mom and I hope she will be able to paint "Twinkle Twinkle Little Star" or something along those lines on one of the walls with a moon and stars.

As far as furniture goes, we will be mismatched there, but that is ok! We will be using Addison's crib and getting her a toddler bed. My sister-in-law graciously offered my nephew's crib that is in their attic, so baby boy will use that. We will also move Addison's changing table to the nursery. Other than that, we probably won't be making any other furniture purchases until Landry moves into Addison's room around age 3. Here's what we would like to get for the girl's when they are older:

I love that bed. I think I'll sleep there!

Well, there is a lot of work to be done. Over spring break, I will at least try to clean out the room that will be the nursery. Currently, it's a complete mess!
