In the 4 days she was here, we procured:
- 2 car seats
- a double stroller to fit said car seats
- a changing table complete with pad and baskets for stuff
- 2 cribs complete with vibration and flashing light mobile
- big and small diaper bags
- the swing of all swings
- the breast pump of all pumps
- a portacrib for our room
- sheets and mattresses for all of the above
- a rocker glider w/ottoman, and:
- a few more maternity clothes since I am rapidly growing
(we only put together one)
I'm sure I'm missing something, but our week was not spent purely for the children. My mom and wonderful husband also spent time:
- cooking for me and making sure I was fed (not an easy task I assure you)
- doing the laundry (mine and the babies)
- cleaning, doing dishes
- scrubbing the faucets, and
- caulking the shower! Thank you!
It was not all work. We also took a trip down Memory Lane as Mom bestowed me with many of my past baby clothes-most of them are pink dresses with matching bonnets, but not all!
And we had a quick doctor's appointment in which we saw our little guy give us a little blink!
And...the fun continued as we headed up to Utah for a joint baby shower with my lifelong friend, Katrina. She is having a baby girl due in just a short month! It was great to see everyone and I am so grateful for every one's generosity. 
I am especially grateful to have these: Blankets made by my late Gma Livingston...almost 60 years old and still in almost perfect condition! Thanks to Gpa and the rest of the family for allowing me to have them. 
I wish I had more pictures of everything, but there is only so much you can do about that. I am definitely worn out from all of the above, but feel like this whole thing really is going to happen. The next 10 weeks will probably be the longest of my life (up to this point) but it will have been worth the wait!

How fun!! These last weeks do last forever, but it will all be so worth it when you get to hold those babies for the first time! Hang in there!!
What a wonderful time we had! And you did a great time recounting everything. Amy did forget the lady in the parking lot who went on and on about how she was so small and could not believe it was twins. Made our day for sure!
For a second I thought you meant your Grandma was 60 years old. Then I realized the "late" thing. That's amazing that those baby blankets are so old, and that your Grandma knew you were going to have twins one day. :-)
Speaking of you having kids Amy....I still think you need to procure the money that you owe me....good luck! :-)
Wow, your mom really did help you out a lot. What cute stuff. Must make you so anxious for them to come!
How fun! Glad you got so much stuff done... having and setting everything up always makes me feel a little more ready for the baby to come.
Oh... and mom's always make things easier. glad that yours has been there to help you out.
Getting everything ready for a baby is so much fun and it sounds like you all are having a lot of fun. The hard thing is picking and choosing because everything is so cute.
Love that you got to spend time with the mom and that you were able to get some baby stuff done. I will admit that was a lot of fun but once I had everything I then found myself "bored" while waiting for the baby to come. Good luck!
How excited I am for you! It was fun to see some of the stuff you were talking about! I am so glad I get to share this exciting time with you! Your wonderful! Happy Birthday by the way!
amy, i'm excited to hear about the twins! it sounds like everything is going well with you--i think we need to chat when i get home from china. take care until then!
Isn't nesting the best?!
Wow. You guys look so ready! Hurray!
