Welcome to Macy and Makayla’s Crib!

We have finally finished the nursery, and are washing linens and getting ready for the arrival of the new tenants! We've had a lot of fun putting all of this together, and have been able to realize that we both enjoy "crafts" more than we thought! It's been quite a stretch for us, and we're proud of the fact that we worked together to get the room set up (with some significant help from family), and are very pleased with how it turned out!

We started the project back in March, when Gary’s entire family swooped into town to get us to painting! In one weekend, we picked out the bedding, chose the paint colors, and painted the entire room! The guys did the “bead board” on the bottom, and the girls worked on painting over that “nautical blue” paint that once covered the room! (Unfortunately, we didn’t get any “untouched ‘before’” shots, but you can get a pretty good idea from the pictures below.)




Here are the pictures of what the room looks like today!! Notice the nice, clean, and organized room! We’ll be hanging onto these to remember what that was like!!





As for a "pregnancy update", there's not much news to tell. Mom is still pretty miserable, and having to sit and/or lay around more than she's ever done in her life! Dad's been extremely patient and accomodating, and has to be getting pretty sick of hearing mom whine! We're getting so close, so we're both very anxious to hear what the doctor has to say at our appointment tomorrow!!

For the past few weeks, we haven't had ultrasounds, but have had "No Stress Tests" done on each baby to measure their heartrates over a 20-25 minute period of time, and to measure contractions. Everything has been perfect so far, so with each visit, the doctor sends me away to continue to "wait patiently"! While I keep hoping for a little bit of "light at the end of the tunnel", we're happy that the girls are hanging in there so well, and, obviously, want them to stay in there until they're "good and ready" to make their appearance!

Hopefully more news to follow SOON!!
