Hi! My name is...

So, we've settled on the boys names. We wanted names that were common, but not frequent. The boys will be Dexter and Spencer.  And yes, my brother has already asked us why we're naming one of our boys after a serial killer.  But we've never seen the show and like the name, so we're sticking with it.  It took a while, but we're very happy with the names.

So this weekend, we made a lot more progress.  Last week, we did most of the painting for the nursery (pictures coming soon) and this week, we made a lot of progress on furniture.  I got two cribs from Wal-Mart.  It turns out that we had many of the same concerns that the couple from the blog Young House Love had.  However, when I went to the Wal-Mart site, one of the biggest problems is that the crib they found uses a non-standard mattress size (smaller).  So, I selected the Modena model from the same vendor and they're perfect!  I built those and with some help from Bruce, Chris and Leila (THANKS guys!) we were able to get our old, very heavy (unfortunately, very little used) treadmill moved to the basement.  Whew! A lot of work, but that's the last major issue with the nursery.  Now, we're just hunting through our huge overload of decorations in our basement (use what you have) to decorate.  It's looking great.

Last, we finally registered.  Last weekend we spent about 4 hours at the Baby's-R-Us registering, going around the store and selecting items.  We often selected way more than we needed of some things and then didn't select other things because we had to do some research.  We spent the last week researching baby things and winnowed the list down (hard to believe with how much is on that list).

So, they're now 31.5 weeks and still growing like crazy.  We found out that they will schedule the C-section for 38 weeks since they are twins.  That means that one way or another, they will definitely be September babies (unless they come out early in August).  But they won't make it to their original due date in October.    But the doctor says everything is okay.
