Ooooh! Names!!!

I almost forgot!! We are about 98% decided on names now!

Boy: Charles Cooper Wilcox, nick name Charlie!

Girl: Alexandra Abigail Wilcox, nick name....??

That's where we're stuck... we did like Abby, then decided we'd rather name her after me. So now we're stuck between Ally or Lexie for a nick name. I've posted this question on some pregnancy forums, and on a twin group on facebook and 99% of everyone likes Lexie better. BUT of course... my husband, my mom, and my best friend all like Ally better! The 3 most influential people in my life! ha ha!! I thought I liked Lexie more... now I cant decide. If I weren't up in the air about which I liked better, then it would be Ally. So it probably will be :)

But anyway, those are our names... any insight on which nick name is better for our girl??

Impatient prego....

So I'm now 25 weeks and have been feeling extremely impatient lately. I had a dream last night that we were actually having triplets! 2 girls and one boy! And when they were born they all had red hair! It was really weird! So of course when I woke up it only added to my impatience because I had a dream about having them around, and holding them and everything. Im so DONE being pregnant... and I have a while to go yet!

Luckily we have some exciting events leading up to the really hard part... in less then two weeks Im flying to Oregon for 5 days for my baby shower and to see friends and family! Im very excited, it'll be a great last chance to have a break from responsibility before our family almost doubles in size! Brody and Ben are going to go camping while I'm gone and Brody is already excited... he keeps making sure he knows where his camo hat is!

Two weeks after that, on memorial day weekend, Ben's mom and step-dad are coming into town for about 5 days! SO that'll be lots of fun... we're going to go to San Francisco and probably Folsom Lake and what not. Im especially excited for when the boys have a fishing day and Julie and I can go get our nails done! Nothing makes you feel pretty like some nice shiny fake nails!

And that will put us into June... most of which I'm planning on spending at my Aunt Suzette's pool! Im gonna get some vitamin D and let the pool punch gravity in the face while I float around and ease some pressure off my hips and back!

On July 4th Ill be a little over 34 weeks, and 36 weeks is full term for twins. My doctor said we can expect to meet the twins in mid-july! It all depends on how big they get and how they develop... and considering I had a 9 pound baby last time, maybe that means theyll grow big and fast and I wont have to be miserably huge for too long!

Tomorrow I have an appointment... and another ultrasound! I'm very excited to see the twins and see how they've grown over the last 5 weeks! I will, of course, be posting pics from the ultrasound tomorrow afterwards! Oh, and I added some new belly shots tonight as well :)

Ok, time to go try and sleep... switch sides about a 100 times, lay on my back for a few minutes, remember Im not allowed to lay on my back, switch sides a few more times. Go to sleep, wake up, go pee, and start all over again. Try doing that 3 or 4 times a night... it's SO fun! ;)
