Head butting!

Can you guys see Baby Girl's head sticking out of the belly??? She's loving this head butting move!

26 weeks!

Moving right along!  I did a little maternity shopping this weekend as even some of my maternity tops are getting tight!  It's fun to dress up the bump :)

Babies' Shower!

Pimpernel Hydrageas and Pink Quartz for a bit of Love in the Fall

We had our Baby Shower on Nov. 1st and it was such a beautiful time.  We chose to do a Saturday Brunch at The Smith in the East Village for all our friends and family.  We had everyone from family and friends from Florida to Long Island to coworkers from my hospitals and Scott's offices attend.  There was so much love in that room.  Our babies are so lucky!!!

The super tasty Strawberry Shortcake! 

Cat (in the Crown) and Angela (also with Pink Glitter Lips) are also expecting!

Connie and Minnali representing Bodhizone Family

My Mother-in-Love and Sister-in-Love and some old family friends.

My Mom and some co-workers from the hospital

My friends- made all along my journey of life

More friend!

Ohhhh!  That cake!!!!! I could've eaten the whole thing!

Yes, we're going to be parents!

Our amazing family!  Where would we be without them?!

25 weeks!

We had another growth scan this week and the babies almost weigh 2lbs each!  They are only a couple ounces apart which is fantastic news!  Sometimes twins grow at very different rates which makes doctors worry that one twin isn't getting enough nutrients.  Thankfully, we're steering clear of that.  Good Job guys!!

In new developments, Baby Girl has turned herself and is now breech!  Thankfully, Baby Boy is still head down.  As long as he stays that way, my doctors will plan for me to have a vaginal delivery (which I'd really prefer).  They said that they actually prefer Twin B to be breech as they can do a breech extraction which is faster and safer since the cervix doesn't have time to close back up between babies.  Baby Girl really knows what she's doing!

Babymoonin' in Jamaica, Mon!

We decided that we should take one last vacation before the babies join us.  These trips have been dubbed "Babymoons" by Marketing Geniuses.  They similar to honeymoons in that a couple plans on spending some alone time, enjoying each other's company.

We chose Jamaica as our destination and with my doctor's blessing, hoped on a flight (mask on!) and made our way our tropical island getaway.

With Ebola making it's way around the world, I wasn't about to take any chances!

Our first night at our hotel, The Spa Resort, was magical.  

It was perched right on the edge of these beautiful cliffs in Negril.

It was really nice to be able to reconnect with each other, away from all our responsibilities. 

The next day, we headed off to check out the amazing beaches.  

The sand was so fine and soft and the water was so warm and clear!

I wasn't sure how I was going to feel in a bikini so I packed a one-piece I bought at Target while in Houston a few weeks back.  I surprised myself by not only rocking the 2 piece but also decorating my belly with some metallic temporary tattoos (thanks, April!)

We made some new friends while in Jamaica.  This is Roza.  Does she look familiar?  Well, she should!  She's part Ridgeback, part German Shepard.  Just like Sirius!  We love how the universe puts what means the most to us around us all the time.

As many of you know, we're really active and on vacation, we usually pack each day with excursion after excursion after excursion.  However, since I have the twins onboard, I wasn't allowed to:

Scuba dive, horseback ride, paddle board, sail, hike waterfalls or even take a river boat tour.  I was allowed to: Eat, Sleep, Shop and Snorkel   Fine.  We really did have such a nice, relaxing time.  

We were on a hunt for live reggae music.  Sometime that seemed to elude us the whole time we were there!  Who would've thought!!!

After a few days, we were practically Jamaican.  Yah, Mon!  

Or Yes, mon! if you want to be proper about it!

Another friend that didn't fair as well as Roza.

24 weeks!

Yay!  We've reached the 24 week mark.  This means that if the babies came today they would have a 50% chance of survival.  This is a statistic only a medical professional can really appreciate.  Obviously, we don't want to try our luck with these chances but it's still super reassuring.  Every day they stay inside me, their chances get better and better.  and I can feel them getting bigger and stronger.  Their kicks have way more umph behind them!

Happy Birthday to my Mom!!!

We took my mom out to Hillstone for her Birthday Brunch. We're so lucky that she happened to be in town for it!  True to her generous fashion, she came loaded with presents for the babies- blanket and books and supplies. Oh my!  We can't wait for our babies to meet their grandma and be showered in her love!
