ooh...thats tough with the pram issue then. i would think that being able to fit the car seats in would be nice. though, you know, we didnt get the attachment for our bugaboo for the carseat. we just moved her from the carseat to the pram. but it may be a bit more of a hassle with twins doing it that way. youre braver than i with the side by side, already with my bugaboo i end up having some problems with aisles in stores being a bit tight, and crowded sidewalks as well. thats why im looking toward the tandem. mayb things here in hawaii are just more narrow or something! lol
i wouldnt listen to a word of what your oh's dad is saying! you are going to be so busy when the twins come that you really should try to have everything you need bought and setup before. thats not to say you have to get it this minute, spread it out over the next months, but i would have all the essentials before 36 weeks, for sure! the car seat thing is crazy, but i think it is generational...my parents didnt have car seats for us kids because they were required. but now its the law! not an option, its essential. i would just smile and nod when he gives you advice like that, and then turn around and buy what you need to buy!
youre probably right about the cloth issue...that would sure be a lot of washing to do. among the million other things we have to do as mom's! lol
i am actually to have a scan 22 september as well! its not my scan through the doctor, but weve decided to have a private one. my parents will be here for audreys bday 19 september, and are staying the week. so we are going to surprise them and take them to the scan to see the baby. they werent out here during my last pregnancy and didnt really get to be a part of it, so i thought i would be cool to give them this as a gift. and since its 16 weeks, we will hopefully be able to find out the gender. it will be nice too, cause then we will get the 20 week scan from the doctor and be able to sort of confirm it.
so very cool that we will be getting scans the same day
we havent even started on names. last time we had both a boy and girl name picked out at about 6 weeks, but then when we found out that it was a girl, DH totally changed his mind on our girl name. then we literally went through every name in the book and on every website. it was like we couldnt agree on anything, probably cause i was stuck on the original name i had sort of fallen in love with. finally we came to audrey, and im glad we did, but it was a rough couple of weeks of nonstop "discussing" [re: arguing] about names! lol. so we are just waiting to even bring up the subject until we know if its a boy or a girl. no use falling in love with a name if he might change his mind after the scan! lol. how about you guys? any ideas yet?
i really dont have any feelings with this pregnancy as to if its a boy or a girl. with audrey, i was certain from the beginning she was a girl. and in the beginning of this i thought girl too. but then my cousin said the other week that she thought i was having a boy. and now ive been having boy thoughts! and in all my dreams since i fell pregnant, we have twins! so i honestly have no clue. i really thought i would just know, like last time, but i dont have the same certainty. im so excited to find out though. and so excited for you to find out about your little ones too!
things are good overall here, except DH has been gone 10 days now and will be for another nearly 2 weeks. hes away on work, but it just leaves me and audrey. and i dont have any friends here anymore, all my friends were from uni and have since moved back to the mainland for better jobs since we graduated. so its been kind of lonely. dont get me wrong, i love hanging out with audrey all day, but some adult interaction and conversation would be nice! lol. only 13 more days...lol
i hope you are all doing well and feeling well! heres to counting down the next 17 days til our scans for the both of us!
