Malia grabbed at the rings on the playmat and bouncy seat.

We have our 2 month appointment on Monday, so we will get the official weigh in and other measurements. There will be two shots and an oral vaccine as well for each kid.

We have been getting between 6.5-8 hours of sleep every night. They wake up for a feeding and then go back to bed for 3-4 hours. Jason and I really like that they do this.

The changing table is now up in the nursery and we are doing feedings in the nursery too. Jason put up some shelves for books and a coat rack for hanging their bath towels. I hope to get some more organization/decorations this weekend so the room will look more complete.

We are waiting for the cribs which are almost finished (thanks PopPop). I have to wait on hanging up some things until we know where the cribs are going to go. We have a video monitor that will need to be mounted on the wall or ceiling too once the cribs are in their places. I'm thinking of hanging the quilts Gigi made for them above each crib so they can look at it on the wall. The quilts have a very interesting pattern and bright colors - so the kids will enjoy looking at them when they are in the cribs.

Once everything is in its place I'll get a picture up for all of you to see.

As for the weather here. Yuck! We had a giant ice storm that made the power go out Tuesday night at 8pm and not come back on until 10am. We changed diapers and fed by candlelit - very romantic. :P We put extra coverings on the babies to keep them warm since the heat was off in the house. They didn't seem to mind the power being off, but it stressed me out. I didn't sleep well at all that night. We ran away to our friends warm house in the morning until we heard out power was back on. Thank goodness for friends and family that live close by. We had many options available to us in case the power stayed out longer.
