How are you feeling?
Slowing down a bit. :-(

How is the nursery coming along? PIPs? Themes?
Finished painting the closet in there and it finally covered up all of the graffiti from the previous owner. Now I need to do a good clean on the floors and hang up the shelves and curtain rod in the closet.

LOs Age(s): 9.5 months
Best part of your week? Just having quality family time this weekend.
Worst part of your week? We had a very traumatic moment this week (well, I'm more traumatized than Rosie, but still). She got her little finger stuck and her finger nail got pulled off. I still feel a little sick if I think about it. But she was fine ~10 minutes after it happened, and it doesn't seem to bother her at all now... Except I have a sock on her hand so that she can't pull off her bandage. She's not a huge fan of the sock.
Milestones? She is sort of starting to pull up on things. And she's finally been STTN again ::knock on wood::

Anything else you would like to add or PIP?
It's been a crazy week. Last Wednesday night, I fell, and the dr sent me to L&D for monitoring.
Babies are doing well, but the monitor picked up contractions which were 3-5 minutes apart at one point. They were able to slow things way down with fluids.
They did a quick u/s before sending us home, and believe that B may have flipped, and they may both be head down! Game changer!
We will see for sure on Friday.
Meanwhile, I've definitely been having contractions (randomly) since then.
QOTW: Are you doing anything fun for Halloween this year??
Halloween is completely up in the air since we have no idea what these babies have in mind
After 2 years of TTC, lots of tests, and a Hysteroscopy/Laparoscopy to remove several polyps,

Worst part of your week? Had a few fussy nights thanks to teeth, but she's a much happier baby now that they've popped through.

We were sitting in her room and she had her baby doll in her arms, I told her to bring it to her daddy and she stood up, walked down the hallway and took it to him. Totally didn't expect that. And it wasn't just a fluke, she's done it a few times since then.
