In which Alli decides she's just gonna have to change her picture outfit again.
This was definitely a week of getting things ready for babies! My shower was great and we truly appreciate all the lovely people who are there for this soon-to-be family of four. So many cute clothes! I washed them all in Dreft as I'd been dreaming about (MOMMY BRAIN IS REAL) and folded them away and we're kinda pretty much ready clothes-wise.
I also interviewed a couple of pediatricians and found one I LOVE. She made me laugh multiple times in the interview, gave me awesome and positive advice, and I am just so happy to have found her.
Also I interviewed a woman who is working on her post-partum doula certification and decided to hire her within about 3 minutes of meeting her, she's that awesome. Post-partum doulas help with everything and anything after the babies are here - organization, light chores, bonding, nursing, just everything to help our family get off to a great start. Since they often work with families of multiples and thus need the experience, and she's training for her certification, she's offering her services gratis! We're so grateful.
Oh I should mention that the doctor's name is Alison and the doula's name is Alli. Emails to the doula are funny "Hi Alli.....Thanks, Alli" (I know for other people this is not so strange but it's new to me). I swear that's not why I picked them!
We had another growth ultrasound as well. The pictures aren't so good - they're getting too big to be really photogenic. But big is, of course, good! Baby A is 3lbs 5oz and Baby B is 3lbs 4oz. Good because that's 51st and 50th percentile (that's my gal, out of those 40s!) and good because they're so close to each other. The doctor had basically nothing at all to say because "what more can you ask for" with 50th percentile and 1oz difference. AND Baby B flipped back to vertex! We're so happy and thankful that we keep getting good news. I have to repeat these things to myself when I start getting grumpy about STILL being pregnant. Haha and 10 weeks left to full-term...
I can't forget, we also are lucky enough to have a Pack n' Play tester in-house:
