When is the perfect time in a man's life to become a Daddy? Obviously, the answer differs for each Daddy, but I'm certain that it isn't coming a moment too soon for Dave. He has already put so many hours into the nursery painting and striping. He is putting up a chair rail. He will also assemble all of the nursery furniture. I am just so proud of him. I can't wait to see him with the twins in his arms. It won't get here soon enough.
As for me, the twice daily heparin injections are not as fun as I thought they would be. I give them to myself most of the time - in my thigh. I have several knots and bruises in my thighs. The needle is tiny, but the medicine burns terribly when it goes in. I think I will survive.
The babies have been moving a lot lately. I can see my belly bounce around all of the time. They seem to be on the same schedule. If one is moving, the other starts moving soon after. Dave and I are off to Columbia tomorrow for my 24 week OB appointment and ultrasound. I can't wait to see the babies tomorrow!
By the way, we hired a nanny today!! We both really like her and she is excited about the job. What a relief.
I want to share some pictures of Dave's progress in the nursery.

The nursery prior to the transformation. The multi-color circles on the wall are some paint swatches that Dave tried out before we settled on our final colors.

Daddy Dave...the room looks AWESOME! Way to Go!
ReplyDeletehi, I love the stripes your husband painted. I am becoming a dad in April and my wife and I are currently painting our nursery. I have come back to your blog a few times to look at your shots. We are going to do a similar stripes-on-bottom look. Our colors are similar but with an added green apple color for some mini-stripes. Thanks for sharing! -Izak
