Re: IFV Check-In
Worms is doing good
She's home on bed rest now and her cervix is holding up and keeping those babies cooking! She'll be 30 weeks on Saturday.

We've got the nursery painted a neutral yellowish/beige color. We're not really going with a theme...I picked bedding for each that goes well together color wise and we're just putting their names above their cribs in wooden block letters and then will decorate behind each with the wall decals that go with their bedding. They have matching cribs. I'm really excited to get the cribs put together and to get the wall art up!
To start we'll have the babies in our room in their RNPs. I'm hoping to use their cribs for naps though.
As of yesterday, both babies are over the 2lb mark and doing well. My cervix is holding up despite my contractions - it was around 3.8-3.9cm.

Q'sOTW:
What theme did you choose, or will you choose for your nursery? Our bedding we chose was the pottery barn kids organic animal safari (https://www.potterybarnkids.com/products/6905608/?registryId=3073117&fromrgl=1) And then we're just using those colors.
What nursery item are you most excited about? We ordered my glider yesterday. It was a long search because I'm short, but I finally found one that is absolutely comfortable and will be good for nursing!!
Will your LO (s) start off in your room or in the nursery? We'll see how I feel when she's home, but my goal right now is for her to sleep in her crib starting day one. We'll see!

Q'sOTW: What theme did you choose, or will you choose for your nursery?
I still won't buy anything until at least after the 24 week mark but I found a jungle themed nursery set I like and have bookmarked. It is a lot of green which is my favorite color.
What nursery item are you most excited about? Will your LO (s) start off in your room or in the nursery?
I am most excited about the glider - I found one at BRU and it so amazingly comfortable. I can't wait to get to a point where I can buy it.
LO will start in the nursery - I want to start with crib sleeping from the start. Hopefully, it works out.

SAIF/PAIF Welcome
Lots of love and luck to my PAIF/3T/IF Veteran ladies, especially my dear friend Zookie. Congrats to Papps, Teach84 and Starbuck on their little ones.
I am 37wk2d today - crazy! I went to the hospital this afternoon for my final bloodwork and paperwork check. Babies are still breech so it looks like we are going through with the c-section one week from today! I have my last growth scan tomorrow and OBGYN appt on Friday.
Q'sOTW:
What theme did you choose, or will you choose for your nursery? We don't have a theme per se, but both of their crib bedding has monkeys on it.
What nursery item are you most excited about? Hmmmm - likely the babies once they arrive! ha
Will your LO (s) start off in your room or in the nursery? They will start off in a PNP in our room.
Nothing new here.
QOTW: I am browsing around for ideas. If I am having BG twins then there are two yellow bedding sets at PB that I like. The boy's is cars and the girl's is flowers. If girl twins, PB again, it is polka dots of different colors. For boy twins, I have not found anything yet.
I am most excited about the bedding.
They will start off sleeping in our bedroom.
Q'sOTW: What theme did you choose, or will you choose for your nursery? The theme is "You are my sunshine." My mom used to sing that song to me when I was a kid, and it is gender neutral.
What nursery item are you most excited about? I am most excited about the mobile. I am getting it off of Etsy, here is the link https://www.etsy.com/listing/65667098/pinwheel-baby-crib-mobile-hello-yellow It is my one splurge, I still have to order it, but I can't wait.
Will your LO (s) start off in your room or in the nursery? LO will start off in the room with me. DH works nights so I will be alone with the baby. We got a Arms Reach Cosleeper for $50 on craigslist, so the plan is for the baby to sleep there until about 3 months and then we will try and transition.
