1. Baby update.
I had a checkup ultrasound last week (23wks gestation) to check on the growth of the babies. We were pleasantly surprised to find that the babies at both in the 87th percentile for size. The sonogram tech seemed a little shocked when she told me this number, perhaps she did not notice that I was a foot taller than her? I was great to see the babies moving around and get a better idea of who is kicking me where! We did not get a ton of pictures this time, but we did get this one. Too funny!
2. Carrie Update.
I had a birthday yesterday! I have to say, this was one of the easiest birthdays to have. I can't think of a year where I had more exciting prospects on the horizon. All my years have been good ones, don't get me wrong, but this one seems extra special! Thanks again for all the birthday wishes! Nothing makes me happier than to hear from friends and family!
Two years ago I took a birthday picture with our pets. Last year I did the same. Since this tradition began (3 years make tradition I think!), our family has grown, and this year it took 3 pictures to really capture all of us!

3. Nursery update.
Chris painted the nursery and had it carpeted about 12 weeks ago. Then last week we got our cribs. It really was not too hard to pick out cribs for these guys (once we narrowed down a company) because we had to go the the ones with the smallest footprint in order to get 2 cribs into this room. When I walked into the room after they were assembled, I could do nothing but laugh. There is a wall of cribs! I will post some more pictures as the room comes together.
4. Doorknob check.
A check on my doorknob progress! I am 24weeks this week and about half way to the knob I would say :)
5. Other funny/fun things.
-My lab coat no longer fits without busting open at random times. I may have to look into maternity lab gear, how weird!
-When I drop things on the floor, I contemplate leaving them there. Then I decide it is a good excuse to practice squatting and I pick them up. We will see how many more weeks that lasts.
-The temperature has dropped a bit in PHX, a welcome change from the 110+ temps that have been on us for the last 3 months. As the temp. falls, I feel better and better.
-We started birthing classes last week (the Bradley Method). It has been a really fun going to these classes with Chris, but I swear, if we were in college together I would have failed out, all I do is laugh at him the whole time.
-My boss said having 2 babies in the 87th percentile is like having one baby in the 174th percentile. I found this hysterical. It must be the hormones.
