Week 26 :: Getting ready...

Now that we're past the 24 week milestone, Steve and I are actively working on getting ready for our baby girl and boy!

We had a great time shopping at the Mothers of Twins consignment sale in Winchester last weekend. My Mom came up from Connecticut to help us shop and we found some great deals on items like a diaper pail, wipe warmer, infant scale, toys, books, etc. What fun!

The nursery is coming along. We cleaned out the closet and put in closet organizers. We spent an entire afternoon sorting and organizing the clothes and supplies that we have in the closet. I'm amazed at the number of outfits and just how cute they are! Many thanks to both my Mom and Kate for all of the clothes! Both of our children will be very well-dressed!

We also created a registry (link on right side of page -->), ordered the nursery furniture and rugs for the nursery and sunroom which we're planning to convert into a baby-proof playroom. We'll post pictures after we've finished the transformation. :)

I started on insulin this week and it seems to be helping to keep my blood sugar more consistent. I'm on the lowest dose - a small injection once a day in the mornings. Still just glad it's manageable!

Steve was laid off from his job this week and is job-hunting full time now. He received a generous severance and although he'll find a new position soon, we're enjoying our time together now. He's already had a few interviews that went well. Part of me hopes he doesn't find a job until about a month after the twins are born - it would be great to share that time too!

Alright, so how did you get so many ultrasound pics? Is it because you're having twins? Lawrence and I only got two of Summer.

Have you guys thought of names yet? I remember driving on the Bay Bridge with you discussing baby names. I really liked Shelby Wong but you said it sounded like "she'll be wrong." And then we laughed. And then for a boy name I liked Tobias Wong and you said it sounded like "To Buy a Swan." And then we laughed again.

I have a feeling you won't have that problem since your last name is Gregoire. ;-) I'm jealous. My kid will get teased and your kid will have a cool name.

Love and hugs from the Wong family.
