Sugar n spice and everything nice, that's what little girls are made of. Frogs, snails and puppy dog tails, that's what little boys are made of.
We are having a BOY and a GIRL! My original sono was scheduled for the 21st but I had a concern that I voiced to the nurse and she had me come in and ordered a sono. My uterus was hard on one side but not on the other and stayed that way for 4 days. I felt that was odd so I called the nurse to see if that was normal and she wanted me to come in to check it out. The OB told me my uterus will shift and the babies have room to move a lot and that they were on top of eachother so that's why it felt harder on one side than the other. No big deal and I got an early sono out of the deal :o).
I found out we were expecting Stephen Owen first then Hallie Claire. Unfortunally Stephen couldn't make it to the sono. That broke my heart! There was no way he could take off work since they were short two guys that day and in Texas with 100 degree heat people need their A/C's.
We have been shopping every weekend since we found out. It is so much fun knowing the sex and being able to shop for each one. I had a tough time trying to figure out how we were going to do the nursery since both babies will be in the same room. Twins do better sleeping in the same room. We decided to do Claire's bedding in a solid cream and Owen's in a spice orange color. The cribs are made by Munire and the model is Essex. They are both a cherry wood finish. For wall decor we will put their names above the beds and use cherry wood letters with ribbons, frame their newborn pictures in cherry wood frames, and I found a round mosaic mirror from Pier One with a lot of color that I will hang. Stephen and my Dad are going to make the dresser and I will use the top of it as my changing table. I can not wait to get the nursery put together! My mother wants me to wait until after my shower to get it done but I don't think we are that patient ha!
My next appointment is the 26th with my OB and we have another sono scheduled for the 2nd of September. I love doctor appointments! We leave on the 2nd to fly to Iowa and spend labor day with my Mother. Can not wait for that! Cooler weather and tons of shopping right up my alley!
