16 Weeks! For some reason 16 weeks feels like a milestone... can't quite figure out why though. Many changes have happened in the last two weeks. The biggest one being the move we just made this last weekend! We moved from Hells Kitchen (aka Midtown West, Clinton or the awful new nickname: MIMA) to Inwood, which is about as far north as you can get while still remaining in Manhattan proper. We love the neighborhood... much more suburban than midtown. We will definitely miss living 5 minutes walking distance from all the Broadway shows and amazing restaurants that mid-town has to offer, but we have think differently now that we have some buns on the ole' oven. Our new apartment is AMAZING. Jason picked it out entirely on his own and he did a very good job... the apartment has three bedrooms, our bedroom and the nursery are right next to each other and Brendie's room is on the other side of the apartment (so he doesn't have to listen to crying babies!), two bathrooms and soooo much closet space!

We had some HUGE help moving from my Sister In Law, Hillary... I was not allowed to lift and I would tire very easily so it was nice to have the extra assistance. We were also able to use her muscle and truck to go to Ikea and get some needed furniture. Of course we purchased a few baby items, including two cribs and a chalkboard! I am SO excited about this silly chalkboard, I have a feeling I will get much more use out of it then the twins in the long run :)
I have been trying to refrain from buying too many baby clothing items since I am told that I will probably receive quite a bit from friends and family, but yesterday I could NOT resist these stinking adorable outfits! Hopefully at least one of these kiddos is a little girl, otherwise these outfits will become the cutest gifts ever someday haha. I can see my babies' pictures being taken wearing these outfits this summer out in the sun (slathered in tons of baby SPF and wearing adorable baby sunglasses). I cant wait for them to be here!

Here is the 16 week belly shot :) Getting big!
