Motley Crue sang about it, and we're gonna live it...Girls, Girls, Girls!

Yes, the ultrasound revealed...our home will be FILLED with giggles, flirtatiousness, pink clothing (gak) and a lack of pee pee tee pees - 'cause we're having TWO GIRLS.

Didn't expect that, really.  Don't know why, but all the kids on my hubbie's side have been boys, and I just for some reason thought that we'd have at least one boy, but girls are great, and we can't wait...

But just so we are clear...pink will be worn as CLOTHING only due to necessity (don't want those well-meaning ooers and aaaahers mistaking them for boys, just 'cause they are in red or something), but the nursery will be decorated with primary, bright colours, which kids love.  And Barbies?  We'll see how long I can avoid them and push the Lego.  Sports, ladies?  Let's go swimming instead, or play catch!

We are very excited....wow....now for name picking!

Yay - new layout options, ergo...new blog layout!

I can't tell you how sick I was of that old layout! 

So here we are, with updated background, intro, and even a twitter feed.  What do you think (noting, of course, that this free blogging platform is still quite limited in what I can do)?

Refreshing, ain't it?

Time CANNOT move fast enough!

How do you even describe your excitement when you know that in less than 4 days, you might find out the gendre of your twins?  Girls? Boys? One of each? 

ARGH - I can't WAIT!

Today was such a great day.  Our garden is looking amazing, and our first 'discovery' trip to the baby shop (KiddyTown on St. Laurent - highly recommend) garnered quick and informed decisions on what baby seats we want, what playpen we'd like to get, and most importantly...we found an incredible double stroller option that sets to rest all my to-ing and fray-ing about what the hell to get!

So what are we getting (in case other Mom's are reading and need this info)?

The stroller - The City Select from Baby Jogger
The car seats - Graco Snug Ride 35
The playpen - Graco Pack & Play (can't find exact one online - but you get the picture - has the high adjustment, the change tray etc...)

Now...onto furniture - two cribs and likely one big dresser with a change tray/pad option etc...suggestions welcome - cheap but awesome is best...and modern.  None of this traditional turns into a wooden bedframe stuff....

Oh GAWD ... three days away.  So COOL!

When did you find out? Did you wait, or find out and why? What was it like and what was your reaction?

And the panic starts to set in

So much to do.  Oh my gawd.  So much to buy, paint, renovate!  Started a little group to help try share info as we research where the heck to buy the best items for twins.  It's not so straightforward, ya know?  We don't need a cool stroller, we need a crazy tank of a system that is gonna work for two!  We don't need a playpen, we need a full-on baby station for the main floor so that we don't have to drag two babies up and down the stairs constantly for changes!

And yes, at 17 weeks, I am almost 1/2 way to the normal delivery time for twins, so Momma is getting a bit antsy!

Time to get busy!

Got suggestions?  Know great resources?  In the Ottawa area and expecting (or already have) twins?  Let me know here!!!
