Sometimes, being pregnant with twins is scary. There are a lot of scary stories out there on what could happen, and you have to just do what you can and hope for the best. A few weeks ago, a couple in our twins class - due just AFTER us - gave birth to their sons. They're tiny, but doing as well as can be expected. They'll be spending a while in the NICU, but will hopefully do well!
Today, we reached our next big milestone (the first one was 24 weeks - the age of viability)! We are now 28 weeks!
The second milestone is 28 weeks, when viability skyrockets. Ninety percent of babies who make it to this stage of gestation survive. Long-term complications — including cerebral palsy, vision and breathing problems — are still a possibility, however.
So along with everything else, we've been trying to get everything ready for the girls - clothes, rooms, names...
Oh did I say names?
Yep! We've picked names for our girls, so we can stop calling them A and B!
Gary and I spent the weekend making some decorations for their room. Once we finally decide how exactly we're going to arrange their room, we're going to hang these on the walls over their cribs!

Beautiful Names for the Beautiful Girls.

I love the names...they are very cute. Jake agrees! I hope you guys are doing well--and as always, Erica, you look fabulous--somehow, even more fabulous pregnant. GLOWING!
The names are beautiful, almost classical, and the decorations are adorable. Well done you two. See, another reason why these girls are so lucky... the time and care taken to choose names that are just right!
Lovely!! They pass the Joan name spelling test.
Thanks for sharing their names with us. The hanging letters over their cribs will help with who is who in their early days.
Well, not necessarily, since they'll be sharing one crib for a while!
Love the names! The decorations are so cute too! How did you make them? Is it a scrapbook thing? Hmmm. PS you look awesome Erica!!!!
