  Ooooh that's me! lol.
  
  What is your first name? Brittany
  
  When is your due date? December 12th, but twins, so it'll probably be the end of November
  
  What part of the world are you from (be as vague/specific as you want)? Portland, Oregon
  
  What number baby/pregnancy is this for you? Pregnancy #1, babies #1 and #2!
  
  What is your occupation or dream occupation? I have a boring office job, where I do a lot of A/R bookkeeping. I REALLY want to own a dog rescue; lots of land and lots of doggies to love. Also if I could make money off of photography, I'd do that too.
  
  Does your/will your nursery have a theme or color combination? Well I really wanted to do an enchanted forest/fairy themed nursery, but then I got really tired. So I decided whenever I get around to doing their playroom, that will be the theme. The nursery is kinda still along that theme. It's purple, and I'm ordering this really cool silver/gray/flower/leaf rug today. I got a decal for the wall that says something about dreams reaching the highest height...something like that. Probably going to get/make some sliver curtains.
  
  Have you bought anything for baby yet? I've bought some clothes, not a ton though. My SIL found us 3 swings, 2 bouncers, a jumper, a play mat, a baby bath, a changing table, 2 double strollers, and some clothes all for free. My mom bought the cribs, MIL bought convertible car seats and some bottles, and I got 2 infant car seats from a friend. Also gotten clothes from co-workers, and complete strangers. People have been very kind!
  
  If you have bought things, what is your favorite thing that you have gotten so far? I got this cute little pair of denim overalls with cherries on them lol.
  
  What is your favorite part of pregnancy so far? Not feeling guilty about eating
  
  Do you have a favorite maternity/baby brand? Not really, kinda have a random collection of stuff from all over.
  
  One thing you will splurge on this pregnancy? I think decorating the nursery is the thing I've spent the most money on...but that's only because people have been so generous and given us pretty much everything that we need for the babies.
  
  What are your top pregnancy related priorities? Not getting sick. Right in the middle of cold season lol.
  
  What is your favorite book? Uhhhh. This is a trick question. I am an absolute bookworm. I *usually* read at least 30 books a year. Not this year though....been kinda distracted lol. I love Harry Potter, of course. Anne of Green Gables, Outlander series, pretty much anything by Jodi Picoult, I really liked Water For Elephants. I really liked several books by Liane Moriarty. Gone girl, Sharp objects, Dark Places. My guilty pleasure books are zombie/YA post apocalyptic novels lol.
  
  What is your favorite tv show? Scandal, Greys Anatomy, Shameless, You're the Worst, Parks and Rec, Lost, Walking Dead
  
  What is your favorite movie? Harry Potter Movies, 10 things I hate about you, most animated kids movies, Kevin Smith Movies, Quentin Tarantino movies, horror movies....
  
  What is your favorite band/singer? I kinda listen to a bit of everything, I can't even think of a favorite artist. I listen to country, classic rock, pop, r&b, underground rap....don't really care for punk/metal. I like Miranda Lambert, Zac Brown Band, Atmosphere, Mac Lethal, Macklamore, Taylor Swift, Lady Antebellum, Steve Miller Band, Chris Stapleton.....there's a bunch lol.
  
  Anything else you would like us to know? I'm one of those outgoing/introverts, who is also cursed with RBF. I use to have a TON of friends, but that circle has gotten much much much smaller as I've gotten older. It's really hard to meet people when you don't go to school, or church, or work in a job where you don't really deal with the public a lot. I'm really hoping to make some mommy friends when the girls are born.

  My mom and her entire family are from Portland too, and I grew up spending summers out there! I love that city. It's amazing how much it has changed just in the time I have been alive!
  
  Also, I am totally feeling you on the nursery laziness. I feel like I started way too late to be creative. In the first trimester I was like "I'm going to have a woodland theme with photographs that I took myself." Then in second trimester I was like "I think I'll find one nice piece of artwork to hang above the crib."  Now in the 3rd tri, I'm like "Green is a theme right?"

  I'm a HUGE macklemore and ryan lewis fan. I want to see them in concert more than anything. And I should have been asked to be in this video because I'm an amazing wrong place-wrong time dancer.

  I like the same music a big mix of things! But I do love Macklemore and Ryan Lewis, it's pretty much the only rap/hip hop I can listen to and feel uplifted by. Also, my kids can listen to it! DH and I went to his concert in Seattle about 2 years ago. It. Was. Amazing. The first time I heard his music on KEXP about 6 years ago, it was so inspiring, and still is. 
  Congrats on all the scores of stuff your sister found! Maybe one day we can meet up halfway between us!
