The Day After...

Bad news...I've tried to upload the ultrasound to YouTube so it can be posted to the blog, but I can't quite figure out the technology. The rest of the truth is I'm so afraid to mess up the only copy we have of our little blessings surprise appearance! However, I can do the next best thing. I'll post the ultrasound pictures soon.

Larry and I finally got a chance to sit down together last night and let this all sink in. We couldn't be happier. We both woke up this morning and asked each other if yesterday was a dream. The good news is that it wasn't!

We spent the day revamping our plans for nursery furniture, car seats and strollers, etc. We did start a registry of a few things (two of everything) at Blessed Baby in Fort Smith. It was so overwhelming that we called it quits after a few items!

We had previously decided on using the Britax car seat because of its high safety ratings. Now that the twins will be riding closer to the sides of our car, it's even more important. Here is the link to the car seat and stroller that we will be using. All of the double strollers are so large that we just couldn't see ourselves ever utilizing one. There are two of us to push and two of them to ride...sounds like a perfect fit to me.

We "think" we've settled on the nursery furniture. We just have to measure the room to make sure the furniture will fit. We have decided on two cribs, one combo that will serve as the changing table, and a five drawer dresser. We have picked out a darker (cherry) wood tone than what is shown.

All of the planning has helped this become reality. As I've said over and over, we are just so blessed. I'm glowing and it's not just the hormones. Larry and I couldn't be happier. We are both so amazed with how excited everyone is. We are just so thankful to have so many wonderful family members and friends to share this time with.
