Life As We Know It

My feet are huge and my back hurts pretty much round the clock. We are busy making registries, lists and plans for our new little additions. I have given more thought to what stroller to buy than I ever thought imaginable. While our thoughts often drift to life post twins we are really trying to enjoy our life as we know it now. We focusing on enjoying the city and having an only child to show it to as much as possible. For as fast paced as this city is we are making a huge effort to slow down and pay attention. 

Weekends are usually spent with many lattes for us and many pushes on the swings for her...

Dylan's Candy Shop is a magical (and chaotic) store in our neighborhood. The candy is insanely expensive, but the scenery and smells are worth the trip. 

 So is this face...made at every turn! 

Dress up day at play group...Ellasen was a fairy princess cowgirl!

Did I mention we are fancy now? I squeezed my swollen everything into this getup for a night on the town.

The pictures below are from the private dining club where we ate dinner the other night. One of the doctors Tim works with was kind enough to invite us to dine with him at the Metropolitan Club. This is not the sort of place you take pictures for fear you will be recognized as an outsider so I had to use stock images from online. Believe me they do not do this place justice! 

The Barlows and the Hartzlers visited us recently. We had lattes and bagels while the kids played at the park, took another trip to Dylan's Candy shop, ate hot pizza slices for lunch, took in a Mets game, and had an amazing Italian dinner. The visit was too short, but it was so fun to see each other! Plus having only four kids for three moms felt like a vacation! 

I forgot to include this video in my last post. Ellasen is dancing at the Mets game! 

In Twin news (26 Weeks)...not much is new! Both girls are very healthy and measuring a little bigger than they should be at this stage. There are no signs of imminent labor, and we are so thankful for every day they stay put. They move all the time, sometimes at the same time. I can always tell which one is moving which is fun! They often go back and forth kicking for a while. They love to move when I am trying to fall asleep. Ellasen did that too. They usually settle down after about 20 minutes. I will have my 1 hour glucose test in a little over a week along with another ultrasound and baby weight check so we are hoping that all goes well. We are getting closer and closer to viability and that is a milestone we are really looking forward to reaching!
