  No updates this week. 

  QOTW: My husband and I enjoy trying new restaurants and hanging out at home with our (almost) 3 year old cockapoo, Teddy.  We love traveling and did a lot of it when we lived in Europe, but since moving back to the US a few years ago, we haven't done much. Definitely looking forward to doing a lot of traveling with the kids when they're older, though. I'm hoping we can do date nights after the girls are born but the only babysitter we'll have nearby is my younger sister, so it probably won't happen very often.

  Updates: Went to the doctor last week, all is well with the babies and me.  Nothing new to report.

  QOTW: Since we have a four year old, we don't get out as much as we'd like, but we like to go to new restaurants, movies and look at the stars in the telescope.  When it's warmer, we usually have a fire in the fire pit and hang out.

  We had our A/S and found out we having to BOYS!

  Cooper Terry (partly after my dad) and Kyle Patric ( both family and friend names).

  We had expected B/G and maybe G/G so B/B never crossed our mind in a serious manor.  We were told they are "firmly" left and right which is nice since I wanted to start calling them by their names. Both breach at the time but who knows how many times they will flip around since I still can't really feel them.

  No updates here. This Wednesday I hit 34 weeks, so we're very excited!
  
  DH and I do "date night" in bed watching our favorite TV shows. Since I'm on bed rest, we can't go anywhere. Normally we like to go shopping together. We're both shopaholics, LOL.

  No updates here. Sending tons of thoughts and prayers to ETS. Once in a while dh and I will get a sitter so we can go out to dinner alone. The last time we did was his birthday at the end of January. We take the time after DS goes to bed in the evening to just sit together and watch TV or a movie. Right now we are watching Breaking Bad.

   QOTW: What do you and your SO do for fun? If you already have kids, do you do "date nights" or find time away from the kids?

  We love to go camping and just spend time with each other.

  Update: Not much to report. I'm 29 weeks. The NSTs have been going fine. I have an ob appt on Thursday. Bedrest is challenging with a nearly 2 yo, but thankfully we have family and friends willing to help out.
  
  QOTW: Sadly we have talked a lot about date night but they never come to fruition. It's been tough to schedule a babysitter on the nights dh has off, and at this point with bedrest it's hard. We do go to breakfast lately if kiddo is in daycare.

  TTC since May 2006. After 3 failed Clomid cycles, 2 failed Injectibles/IUIs, 2 failed IVFs and 1 failed FET, we moved on to adoption! 
  

  

  
  Last ditch FET resulted in BFP, and identical twin girls!

  We have date nights a few times a week actually. Over the weekend we had a double date night with some friends and the next night went to the movies just the two of us. We're trying to spend as much time alone/with friends together as possible before these two little munchkins arrive. I Date Nights!

  DH and I love to travel.  We have been able to keep it up since having our 2 yo daughter, but I am worried at how much more difficult it will be once we have the twins.
  

  
  We really only have date nights about twice a month, when one of our parents or siblings can babysit. We usually go out to eat and go for a stroll or visit friends if we have time.

  Hi. I am 22 weeks pregnant with twin boys. Due June 21,2013. Found out 2 weeks ago they are boys, a bit of a surprise we were thinking it was boy/girl. We have a 2 year old son and a 3 and a half year old daughter. DD said from the beginning i was having 2 babies, a sister for her and baby brother for her brother. We thought she was right, so had to be about the genders! LOL
  
  Qotw: Hubby and I have date nights about once a week. MIL will take them for the night. If we have running around to do, or want to go for dinner just the 2 of us, I also have 2 sons ages 20 18 from previous relationship that are more than willing to help out. We were just saying we will likely not be able to eat out for a very long time once the twins are born.
