34 weeks!

We got the silver medal of twin pregnancy!  And the babies are about 5lbs already!  If they were born today, they wouldn't have to spend too much time in the NICU. It would be mainly to gain weight and learn how to feed. Regardless, we'd prefer them to stay in for a while longer :)

Celebrating Chanukah!

We packed up the pack including my mom and headed out to Scott's Parent's house to celebrate Chanukah. Sonya and Peter live in Woodmere, NY and are still in the same house that Scott grew up in. I love the feeling of familiarity that radiates through the walls. Scott's sister Marla and her husband Brian and their kids, Jake, Aidan (identical twins!) and Ethan also joined us. 

(Ethan was super annoyed with me in this photo because I separated him and Scott. It's written all over his face!  But I had the camera on a timer and need an easy spot to scoot into!)

We're really lucky. We love each other parents and our parents love each other! It makes life so much easier since we all get along. 


The boys are also getting really excited that the babies will be here so soon. It also helps that they can feel the babies moving in my belly. I loved interacting with them all!

Family Day!

My sister and her husband Alex had an 8-hour layover in New York on their way to Dublin for New Years. We took advantage of their time and headed to see some of the holiday landmarks around the city. 


My mom was also able to join us. It was so nice to have all the girls together that day. 


Next year the holidays will be even more fun!

Sirius reporting for Babysitting Duty

We've started to get the nursery ready for the babies. And Sirius and Archie have been really interested in helping. I'm so excited to see how they'll welcome the babies into the pack

33 weeks!

Holy Baby Bump Batman!  This thing is getting bigger and bigger. Making sleeping harder and harder. I'm getting about 4-6 hours of sleep a night and still waking up once or twice to pee. I'm really looking forward to NOT being pregnant anymore just so I can lay on my stomach and not struggle to sit up or turn side!

31 Weeks!

How fast time flies!!! We celebrated 31 weeks today by going to see our favorite OB, Dr Silverstein. I often describe him as the spawn of Albert Einstein and Rick Moranes- that brilliant and that funny. We really enjoy seeing him and hearing his fun and amazing take on pregnancy. 

So!  The babies are doing great!  Baby Boy is still head down and likely to stay that way and Baby Girl is breech again with her tushy in her brother's face.  They both have a great amount of fluid and we were able to see them practice breathing. 

Dr. Silverstein told us to expect the babies to come between the 2nd and 4th week of January. That sounded good and far until I realized that's 5 weeks away!!! OH-EM-GEEEEE!  We could have a couple of babies in just over a month!  That feels like tomorrow. My baby shower was over a month ago and that feels like it was just yesterday. Time to kick it into high gear and prep this apartment for some babies. Wish us luck guys!

My Lovely Babies' Bump

We finally got around to take some professional photographs during the pregnancy. We packed up the pack and headed out to Central Park on a thankfully unseasonable warm December day.

I think they came out really good :)

We're all getting promotions in 2015!!!

Tickled!

30 weeks!

We are getting so close to meeting the babies!  It's weird, I feel like I had a better handle on the idea during the 1st trimester than I do now! 

We've started to plan the nursery out in the apartment. And for two tiny humans, they have a ton of stuff and need a lot of room!

Anyway, going to take the weekly bump shots in front of the tree for the next few weeks in over to add a little holiday cheer. 

Ps- have you started your holiday shopping yet?!
