Joy - my tummy feels the same way after dinner...I feel like I'm going to bust out of my skin! I'd love to read your blog, if you don't mind! Don't feel bad about registering...it seems overwhelming to me too and I just have one baby to do it for! hahaha And I'm so excited for your furniture.

Welcome back, Tiffany! I'm happy to hear that your twins are doing well!! Let's see...hand-me-downs or new? My DH really wants to take the hand-me-downs from his brother's daughter. But, A) they live in NC and we live in MA...not exactly easy to tranfer them! B) my BIL and SIL's taste is totally different from mine and, C) since this is our first child, I really want to have everything new...I know that's wasteful and blah, blah, blah But, I really want new stuff! hahahaMy mom is stocking up on hand-me-downs for when the baby visits her. One of her co-worker's daughters had twins a few months back and she's finding that she doesn't need two swings, two pack-and-plays, etc anymore....so she's been giving things like that to my mom to use at her house.

Nathalie- have a great time! Thanks Peachy! I’m back to “surprise mode” though I’m still thinking I saw something! LOL Tiffany- your first shower- how exciting I love that you can feel them kicking- they must be fighting for space! I haven’t received any hand me downs…though I would love to get my hands on some of my nephews stuff if it’s a boy! She has some great stuff Boston- that’s handy to have another set of items at your moms, that’s nice of her co-worker

Welcome back everyone! Great job on the reunion Maybebaby!
Finally got off the couch to go scan my u/s pictures from yesterday. This tech did two photos to a page so we'll see how they turn out. One page has the profile pictures. The other has the boy anatomy and pictures of Aiden's cute little feet. They might turn out too small but we'll see... Hmmm... I can't get the forum to upload photos right now. Just tried twice and it's kicking me out. I'll try again later...

Hahaha...Sadly, they live in Cary...not very close to Charlotte.  I've been trying to convince my DH that we should go visit them in the fall...but he's so weird about me flying. I keep telling him and pointing out in the books we have that it's perfectly safe for me to fly! Maybebaby - yeah, my mom works with a really nice group of ladies. And I think it's great that she's getting stuff for free because I was going to buy a 2nd set of some of the baby gear for my parents' house anyway! hahaha That leaves me with more money to spend on cute baby clothes!

Peachy! I can't wait to see the pictures!!
We didn't get any good ones from our u/s on Monday...they gave us three...one was a decent one of a foot but the two profile shots they gave us were blurry.

I just wanted to share a funny hand me down story. My best friend has 2 boys. She was so excited to get to share her maternity clothes with me. She had lent them to our friend who had a baby in Feb so she called that friend. Anyway that friend said that she had already lent all her clothes (and my best friend's ) to her pregnant SIL. Anyway I know the SIL and ran into her at the OB/GYN. I couldn't help but think , hey that chicks got all the clothes I should be borrowing now. My friend doesn't have the nerve to ask for at least her stuff back. So funny because out of all my friends, many are pg right now and due a little before me. They say they give me stuff when they're done, but I think they underestimate how long it takes to be back out of those special pants.
I actually have a hand me down crib in the basement that we will bring up when the babies are ready for 2 cribs instead of just the 1 new one I plan on getting for them to start.

LineaLi- Too bad the other friend gets all the good stuff! But I’m surprised she didn’t ask before she loaned her clothes off as well! By the time they’re “done” with them, you will probably have out grown everything! My godkids (twins) slept in the same crib for the first couple months, too cute!

Welcome back Tripp!!! I was excited to see you on here! Fun to have some additional multiples moms in the group! I love this thread...its always so encouraging, supportive and sometimes I just get a good laugh out of everyone due to our crazy stories!
Oh, I love the hand-me-down stories! I've received a few that were just too funny, and some that were so helpful! We just got one crib for now and have the other 2 coming this winter because we plan on them sharing a crib for a while! We'll see how that goes! Peachy - I can't wait to see your pictures!!
