I got a wonderful box in the mail to start off my Second Trimester on Monday. Mom and Dad sent me clothes, energy scented body items, prego pops, a calendar to track the pregnancy, a couple of books (one about TWINS which I needed) and these adorable little socks that I can't wait to see on little tiny feet! Today I'm wearing the pants and sweater they sent me. It is raining and kind of chilly, so the warm wrap sweater is perfect and cozy for today. Yesterday I started wearing full on maternity clothes. I couldn't squeeze into my pants comfortably with the bella band anymore. I was finding toward the end of the day my belly and back was starting to hurt and I'm much more comfortable (and less self conscious) in proper fitting clothes. I need to get some more shirts, but I do have 3 pairs of pants for work and a pair of jeans that along with the eventual capris I'll buy, should do me just fine throughout the next ~6 months.
Over the weekend I somewhat organized the kitchen, though it is still a disaster and WILL be cleaned and organized by the end of this week. Saturday Brian hung the electric boxes in both back bedrooms and re-wired for eventual ceiling fan/light units. The man I married has become so handy! I meant to do a lot around the house Saturday, as I was feeling such energy, but around noon I crashed and took a 2.5 hour nap with Wilma while Brian continued to work hard in the bedrooms.
Sunday we went shopping. By far the best purchase: our new stove/oven unit and over the range microwave...which we'll pick up this weekend!! I also got some clothes, we found some more tools for organizing the kitchen and bought two ceiling fan/light fixtures and a light fixture for the dining room/front room. My ever hard working hubby painted the ceiling of both rooms Monday and then hung the new fixtures in each room last night. They look great, allow for a light to turn on with the flip of a switch (genius!) and when summer hits the fans will be awesome for those two rooms. I plan to put the guest room back together tonight and then all we'll have left is to take the closet doors from our room and put them in the guest room, paint the bedroom door and change out the door hardware. Then...done! The babies' room we are waiting on painting and slowly I will clean out that closet, but I've got "some" time.
In addition to what we'd like to get through this weekend, we are also making a trip out to Brian's aunt's house to pick up two cribs in addition to whatever items they have set aside for us. We are renting a van from Ikea (so cheap and convenient) to pick up the new appliances, and then we'll head to Hebron for some baby stuff. We are so lucky to have family with hand me downs available! :)
Not too much else going on. Really we've (Brian more- I've been lazy, but I'm getting better) just been trying to work on our mental list of to-do's as much as we can before the babies come into our lives. We have an OB appointment tomorrow that I've been anxiously awaiting. :) I can't wait to see the two little peeps again!

So did you have Dr. Scheiber and Dr. Awadalla?
babbs
I saw both Scheiber and Awadalla throughout my treatments, though my main doctor was Scheiber. He also was the doctor that performed my IVF procedures.
Same here:) I think Dr. S is awesome!
Oh I agree! I loved Dr. S. He was so personable and made me feel less stressed throughout the whole process. And he was incredibly positive, all things you need in a doctor when going through any "specialized" treatment.
