Moving Day
No, the boys aren't coming home, but I do believe they will be home soon. In preparation of that day, today was moving day in our house.
The original owners of this house......well I'm not sure what to say. They built the house 20 feet wide and 60 feet long, seriously. In addition to having a long skinny house, they put one bedroom upstairs and three down. We could go on, but most of you know our thoughts.
Of the three bedrooms downstairs, one is at one end of the house and two are at the other end. I would like the boys to grow up having their own rooms, since they are available, so we have set them up at one end of the house and our room is at the other (my dear husband doesn't like this arrangement).
We originally set ourselves up in the upstairs bedroom as that is where a bathroom, a kitchen and a living room are. Before I was put on "restrictions" while I was pregnant, I painted the downstairs room, which was my office and the two back bedrooms in preparation for the arrival of the boys.
After visiting our boys today, we came home and Glenn phoned one of his friends to help move furniture. It's great having a C-section as you are not allowed to lift anything heavier than your kids, vacuum or sweep for 6 weeks!!!! I moved the lamps, alarm clocks and bedding, they moved the bed, night stands, a dresser and lets not forget the eliptical trainer ("Are you sure you want this moved UPSTAIRS????").
I still have to move things around in the boys rooms as I had piled everything in one room, but they will have their own rooms. They will reside in one crib in our room to start, then once we are sure they will survive the night outside of the hospital and in our care...they will move to one of the bedrooms. I don't know when I will put them in their own rooms.....that is one thing I haven't scheduled (shocking, I know!). I don't even know who will get which room, one is green and one is yellow.
It will all come together in the end, but they have a bed and we have a bed, what more can you ask for?

my twins were in the same crib, side by side until 6 months. opposite ends, feet to feet until just over a year old. separate cribs, same room, until 2.5 years. finally separate rooms at 4 years. good luck in whatever you choose, and enjoy every moment.
