23 Weeks and 4 Days

Tired Tired Tired.

I think that pretty much sums up this week.  

Starting with photos this time.  I have my next visit to obstetrician on Thursday.  I think the appointments change to fortnightly from monthly as of this weeks visit.  Just over 4 weeks away until our next morphology scan (28 weeks)...  The boys are both kicking around a lot more now.  They do not hurt except sometimes when I sit down to quickly I get a twinge down the bottom.  I get so scared that I have squished a foot of something.

People have started asking me for a list of things that I need for the twins.  So far we have some clothes for 00000 and some blankets.  This is all.  I am trying to put a list together of things that we will need but as you can imagine we need so much that it is hard to know where to start.  I have found a gift registry on mybabywarehouse website that I thought might help people with ideas but I don't think it is fair that people have to stick to a registry as the whole fun of babies is going out looking for cute outfits etc etc.  

We know which car seats we are getting.  I can have rearward facing for up to 12 months and still be able to sit comfortably to drive.

I guess we will need all of the following and I don't think that many of the items on this list will be wasted if we get more than 1.  We are going to focus on the big ticket items.  Pram, Cots, Furniture etc.

Things we will need though are:

• Mattress protectors for cot mattress
• Fitted cot sheets
• Quilts
• Cot Bumpers
• Blankets
• Clothes - 0000 and bigger
• Baby toys
• Baby bath
• All types of baby bath stuff like - washers, towels, baby wipes, baby shampoo, baby oil, lavender babywash etc etc
• Heaps of Swaddles and GrowSuits
• Bibs

Other items that might be helpful but are not necessary are:

• Sheepskins for our pram (I am hoping to get the City Mini Twin Stroller or the more luxury model that looks pretty similar).

• We are looking at this rocker - http://www.mybabywarehouse.com.au/index.php/baby-at-home/bouncers-rockers/nature-s-purest-hug-me-bear-rocker.html
• And this swing- http://www.mybabywarehouse.com.au/index.php/baby-at-home/swings/nature-s-purest-hug-me-bear-swing.html 
• We will also need heaps of bottles, bottle steriliser.
• Car Baby Mirrors
• Portable Baby Changing Mat
• Baby Bag

The list can go on and on. The one thing that we do not want is Baby Walkers (no pun intended).  Our house is not really suited for one let alone having two of them.  

P.S - We will be keeping one little thing secret about the boys....  Their names will be completely secret to everyone except Adrian and myself until their birth.
