Gramma Ruth & Nursery

Good news today little squirts! Gramma Ruth had surgery and we were really worried about her. The surgery went really well and she was feisty as heck when we saw her after the operation. She is going to be around for a long time to spoil you rotten!

I found this website with murals and I would really like to put it on a wall in the nursery. It is pretty gender neutral. However, if we learn that the babies are of the same gender (hopefully on 9/25), I would choose another mural that was probably more gender specific. I think I would do solid colors of bedding for the cribs - green/blue for the boy and maybe yellow/purple for the girl.

Mark and I both agreed that we aren't going to do anything until January - get prepared, paint, create the nursery. However, I think that it might start that week after Christmas. I did some research on the average delivery of twins and 37 weeks is optimal for max health benefits (2/16/09) but 35 weeks is pretty common (2/2/09). So, I think we may need to have things ready around the middle of January. I am assuming that most of January is going to be pretty low key for me as far as activity goes. I have read that a lot of people go on bed rest at 24 weeks (11/17/08) but I am hoping that since I work from home, I can delay that. Gosh, reading those dates, we might start in December. 26 weeks is a huge date for viability and that would be 12/1. Think we may need to start negotiating this in the Brigham household!
