Baby Shower Pics

I haven't had a chance yet to type all of the details of the shower but thought I would go ahead and share the link to all of the pictures of it from Willie's flickr. There's a bunch more there. A very very talented friend of ours took the photos.
Also, my two girl friends that organized the whole thing....they are seriously two wonderful amazing people. :)

Twin Watch - 32 Weeks

For most of this pregnancy, I haven't really been eating more than I usually do. I just haven't had a huge increase in appetite. But lately....I'm finding I finish meals I would normally eat maybe half of.



And the belly table is quite convenient.

Tim Burton at MoMA

We finally got to go see the Tim Burton exhibit at MoMA today! It was so cool! Unfortunately no photography.
It was so inspiring though. What I thought was really neat is that it showed his sense of humor as well. Silly little drawings like...."He decided to rest his eyes."....and it was a drawing with a guys eyes coming out of his head and lounging on the beach.

Then there was this odd one....Never Shoot A Constipated Poodle


I did buy the book which had alot of the drawings in there. I was kind of disappointed though. I had seen the book online and thought it would be this really nice big hardback and it wasn't hardback and wasn't very thick. There's just so much of his work you can highlight that got left out!

So if you're here in NYC or planning on coming...before it ends in April....you HAVE to come see this! But just remember, buy your tickets at least a week in advance...it's selling out like crazy.

Twin Watch - 30 weeks

I'm falling so behind on posting these! I'm sorry. I'm feeling less and less energetic...hello third trimester!
Week 30's photos, Willie was inspired by the photographer Richard Avedon and decided to try them in that style. I think they turned out really well. He was being hard on himself and saying they didn't turn out as well as he would have liked. He's so silly. So I'm basically posting these just in time to post week 31 tomorrow! :) Even though these were taken last Sunday.



As always you can check out the rest of the pictures on Willie's flickr.

Flickr Word Search - Lime

Today's flickr word search is lime! I'm having alot of fun with these. It's hard to limit myself to one a day. This one was a little difficult because I had to weed through alot of limes dropping in water and stuff. Great photography but I wanted to avoid too much fruit and food.

So that's what a contraction is!

The last couple of days have been a bit tiring. I woke up 5 am Wednesday sick. Was throwing up all day. I really tried to drink fluids but it just wasn't happening. Wound up going to the hospital that night because I was dehydrated which of course brought on some contractions. I wasn't really thinking clearly though and we just went to the nearest hospital, which was not my hospital that I would be delivering at. They kept me there until about 3 am on an IV and gave me procardia for the contractions. Sent me home but told me I needed to see my dr the next day. Well didn't get to do that cause I had more contractions that morning so this time off to labor & deliver at MY hospital. My dr did wind up being on call though. And again they put me on an IV for dehydration. So today I'm home, taking it easy. No more contractions and I'm actually able to eat some food so that's good. And yes...drinking plenty of fluids. Willie's been making sure of that. :)
The babies are doing well. They were kicking and moving the whole time I was at the hospital. In fact, when they put the monitors on my belly, they had the hardest time keeping marshmallow on there. She kept moving and kicking the monitor. Guess she didn't like that so much.
At least I know now what a contraction feels like. Cause up to this point, I really didn't know what to expect. These weren't so bad though. Pretty minor. More uncomfortable than painful. In hindsight I should have just gone to my hospital. They probably wouldn't have sent me home and would've kept me overnight. But hey...we're first timers at this! We're still learning! :)
