Working out finally!

I bought this DVD a while ago and did it twice early on in my second trimester, and then let it start collecting dust! It was pretty easy then but now with my growing belly, it has become pretty challenging! I finally started exercising! I went for a walk on Monday, and did the pregnancy pilates yesterday. I want to be in shape for when it is time to deliver. I get winded pretty easily now - I don't think this is a good sign considering I will have to push something out of me in less than 4 months!

And oh yeah my sister's wedding 6 weeks after I am due is starting to become scary!! For those of you who don't know: we are twins. We have always pretty much been the same size so it would be nice to stay that way!!! Luckily I haven't put on much pregnancy weight at all, and it has been ALL belly. But I have a feeling the third trimester will bring on the pounds!!!

Crib Recall!

I am having trouble postine the link, but just search:

"Largest Crib Recall in History"

It looks like it involves cribs with drop down SIDES.

Crib Info

Hi All!
Some of you really liked the crib we got. It is from Target. It is a convert able crib and has a matching changing table and dresser.

They are ALOT cheaper than the kind at Babies r us. For all three it was $620.00 and since we opened up a target card that day, we got 10% off all of it! (What a steal!!!)

It is called the Delta Eclipse Crib in Black Cherry (although I really think it should be called more of an espresso). I had to call around and make sure they had it at a target store but it was WELL WORTH IT!!

Here is our crib! Notice the pink wall behind it! More pictures to come later.

Celebrity Infertility

I just heard that Celine Dion's last two IVF attempts were unsuccessful. Apparently they thought one of them took, but it was probably a "chemical pregnancy" (I don't like that term - I think it diminishes it too much).

It really makes you think, wow if they are having problems - with all the money they have, how are the normal people supposed to cope.

I have been feeling very reflective lately. I am one of the lucky ones - I am pregnant. It took two years and many procedures, but we did it; it worked. And now instead of countless appointments, horrible shots, crazy hormones, emotional and financial stress - I have a healthy normal pregnancy. I am blessed. I never thought I would feel this way. I thought that after I became pregnant - I would say to myself, "Ha I did it. I deserve this. I fought for this, Hell I paid for this, with blood sweat and tears." But now all I say to myself is, "Wow, we did it, Thank God."

Continued prayers and well wishes to those out there that are still fighting.

All Registered!

Whew, Last week when my Mom came to visit we registered at Babies r us, and I also registered at Target (but online). Online registering is pretty awesome. After about 1000 changes to both registries (something is cheaper at one store - change!) I am finally done with my registry... for now!

My poor hubby. He kept saying "anything you want honey!!!"

Also we bought our crib, dresser, and changing table through target! We (and by we I mean Sean) still need to assemble them, but we will probably wait until after we (Sean again) paint the room. That will happen hopefully this weekend!!!!

Here is a picture of our bedding that we picked out!!!! (No that is not the room!) We did register for the diaper hanger, lamp, mobile, window valance, and pictures though!

In other news my baby shower is early next month. It will be about three months before my due date, which is great considering I have to travel to California (from AZ) for it, and Christmas is so soon. Also my sister is having her bridal shower in mid January (2 months before my due date - which is probably a good travel cut off date). The next few months are going to be busy!!! Oh yeah and did I mention that I am going to Las Vegas sometime in December also!!! Whew!
