26 Weeks!

I said hello to 26 weeks today. It still blows my mind every single week that I am pregnant. You would think after a while that I would accept this all. So very thankful. I know I say that all the time, but I truly am. Even thankful for the not so great pregnancy related stuff. I just love being here and I am so excited to meet Lilah and Olivia. I honestly don't think I will go past 34/35 weeks, but only time will tell. Next weekend we have booked another 3D/4D u/s to see the features on the girls. I am so excited. Mainly because I want to see if they have hair, LOL. I have so many cute headbands and hairbows in the nursery. During my shower last weekend we had a hairbow/headband making station and it was a total hit! I will take some pictures and post along with my shower pictures soon. 

As for my shower, it couldn't have turned out better. I had a big majority of people that couldn't attend, but still ended up with about 20 people. My sister and best friend did an amazing job. They had it catered and we had chicken Cesar sandwiches, ham on Hawaiian rolls, and a fabulous chocolate mousse. The cake was the best part though. Not only was it beautiful, but tasted so good! My BIL made the cutest carriage out of a watermelon and used sliced oranges at the wheels. He is so creative! Here are a few pictures from the shower. I had a friend take more pictures, but I am waiting on them to be sent to me.







As you can clearly tell, I am not a huge fan of pink.

I also finished the nursery last night.



I am so in love with the colors. It is such a happy bright room and I know the girls will just love it!

FInally here is my 26 week bump pic. Only one week left until the third trimester. Holy crap!
I also had my second 3 hour glucose test yesterday. Things are not looking great with my sugar and it is probably safe to assume I have GD. Although it doesn't really concern me because it is very manageable and I already have a c-section planned.

  10. Once the girls are there, make sure the light of the bulbs in your house doesn't go into their eyes. I noticed you have a bright one in their room. Also, try to stay away from perfume or strong sprays. It's not good for the babies.
