10 Weeks 3 Days

This week, the babies are about an inch and 1/2 each or about the size of a kumquat.



Their hands and feet are no longer webbed. Bones and cartilage are forming and small indentations on the legs are developing into knees and ankles.  Their arms can flex at the elbow already :). 

Today I woke up with a really bad headache, stuffy nose and upset tummy.  It's hard to tell if its a cold or pregnancy related.  Lately, I haven't been feeling as nauseated but I have been feeling extra tired.  So incredibly thankful to have this week off from work because I've needed a 30-45 min nap every day just to make it until 9-10 pm before crashing.

Nate and I have been slowly working on the house and boxing up stuff we will either sell in a yard sale this spring or donate to Goodwill.  He actually got rid of several more books!

We ordered this monkey jungle themed wall decal for the nursery.


It's fairly gender neutral so I think it will work.  We can always add a bow to one of the monkey's heads if we have a girl.

I've started researching strollers, cribs, etc. Buying a stroller is like buying a car! So many variables and features.  I know I want a jogger, but it has to have enough storage space for the essentials. Baby's R Us and other baby stores don't carry twin things in stock, so I may have to look on Craigslist and go play with a few to see which ones I like. I wish there were such a thing as a baby starter kit ha :) or a twin outlet mall somewhere.

You could always try your local Freecycle list-- PAFree is the one I moderate, but there are Freecycles in every town and region. Post that you're having twins and need twin gear, like stroller etc., and see what response you get-- you might be surprised.
There's also Kristene Geering (do you know her?) whose twins are now out of stroller age. Also Breigh Zack Finnerty whose twins are around a year old? They might be great resources or be getting rid of stuff...
Want me to connect you on FB?

I know Breigh Jeanie and we plan to meet up. I'm not opposed to the idea of used things but for a stroller I know want a jogger and I'm ok if I have to buy it new. Freecycle is a good idea though, thanks! It's a little early to be purchasing things yet so I'm just doing research for now.
