Opinions!  

Sunday, June 16, 2013

Help!!  I need opinions.  Here is the quilt top that I did for our little girl's crib quilt.  Obviously it needs cut down and ironed, but you get the idea.  It is a zig zag pattern with greens and oranges/corals.  
 Here's the fabric I have for the little boy's quilt.  Less coral, more orange and dark brown.  Originally I was going to do the same zig zag pattern for both quilts.

 But now I've found this pattern and think it looks really fun.  I actually have more fabrics that match that I could use too.  



This is what the crib skirts (left) and bumper pads (right) will be made out of.  

So now I need opinions. There are some people that seem to think that the nursery will look better with quilts that have a matching pattern quilts, (both zig zag), and some that think it's okay to mix it up and have one of each.  I've thought about it all week and can't decide.  What do you guys think?

Healthy Babies!  

Thursday, June 6, 2013

Last week Steve and I went to Grand Junction to see a perinatologist and have an ultrasound.  It's always a lot of fun to see the babies and know that they are both doing well.  I told Steve that every time I see them I become a little more connected and it will make it harder if anything goes wrong.  That's the up and down side of having so many ultrasounds.  

I'm about 24 1/2 weeks along now and both babies were measuring about a pound and a half which is awesome. They both weighed within grams of each other, or so we believe based on modern technology. I've never had a 4D ultrasound and our little guys was trying pretty hard to be the favorite baby. He was very cooperative, every time we needed him to turn to check something, he's do another flip.  So we got this cute, or at least I think it is, 4D picture of him.  I think he looks like one of our kids already!!  



Our little girl was a little more mellow and crowded up under my ribs where she must be cozy because she didn't want to move. We were able to get most of the views of her heart and organs we were looking for, but no face shots or 4D.  I guess her modeling season is yet to come.  Here's her little toes. She was doing a good job at kicking her brother in the head! 


As for me, I'm doing good.  I have had heartburn like nothing I've ever experienced before.  I'll definitely be talking to my Dr. about that at my next visit.  I'm pretty sure I'm reaching the limit of safe amounts of Calcium Carbonate. But at least the babies should have healthy bones and teeth!  I'm getting bigger by the week, sorry no pictures.  Really I'm not sorry!  I think the exhaustion of the first trimester is returning.  I never get as much accomplished each day as I want to.  Life has been crazy busy though.  I'm keep hoping each week it will slow down a little.  Next week for sure!!! Even though I worry constantly that they are both well and will stay that way, I feel super blessed that things have gone so well thus far. We'll just keep praying that the trend continues.   Only a little over 3 months left!!!
