High Five for Friday {11.16.12}

Linking up with Lauren @ FMGD  for my High Five of the week!

1.) Me and this rather large belly (stuffed with my sweet babies) get the ‘OK’ to stay home for another few days.  Monday starts the twice-weekly visits for monitoring.

Enter super-cheesy-bathroom photo(s) here.  

2.)  I just cannot stop.  In my defense these three..err six, dresses were on sale.  I can’t wait to see Parker and Jolie in all the sweet clothes busting from their nursery closet. 
{Side note: Dear Gap, can I please get the camel and poppy dot sweater dress in my size?!  Sincerely, A Serious Shop-a-hol-ic in dire need of more (not really.. but you get my over-reactive enthusiasm).}

3.) Cord Blood Registry.  Insurance we hope that we never have to use.

4.)  It is officially the holidays.  I had my first and most favorite Salted Caramel Mocha this week- in the famous SBUX holiday cup.  Decaf, of course.

5.)  A sneak peak at the long awaited crib bedding that arrived on our porch this week!  For those that continue to request nursery photos.. I’m waiting until post-babies to share.  The nursery wont be complete until the large frames Jordan’s mom made are filled with pictures of our sweet girls:)

  3. Ummm you are so cute I could eat you and your babies right up! (In a good way) I'm so glad I stumbled across your blog. My belly is right behind you mamma! I'm 33 weeks with only one little girl. I can't wait to keep following your journey into motherhood! Good luck with delivery and here's to two healthy baby girls!

    Just found your blog and love it! I was in a similar situation just a few months ago (only 1 baby though). Twice weekly NSTs, ultrasounds, being hospitalized for 18days, procardia every 6 hours, the whole shebang!Just trust in God! Everything will work out! I know the last few weeks are painfully slow. But once they get here time seems to fly! Cherish every moment!

    God Bless!

    Love the bedding! And that carmel & orange dress is adorable. I always say that little girls have the cutest clothes & why can't they make them in our size! πŸ™‚

  8. I love your blog! I'm at the beginning of my pregnany with twins. 12 weeks and counting.
    I have to know…DECAF mocha??? I didn't know there was such thing as decaf espresso!! Anything specific I should know about how you ordered this?

  9. amber says:

    Stephanie! Thanks for your sweet comment:) congrats on your pregnancy! Carrying twins, although its been frustrating at times, has been among the best times of my life. I can't wait to meet these baby girls:)

    As far as the decaf coffee request:. Starbucks offers decaf version of most all their drinks.. So, I asked for the decaf salted caramel mocha. I confess that I'm not completely sure the drink preparations exactly, tho:) I was one to completely cut it out in the months before and during pregnancy (haven't had SBUX in almost a year!), but I've been asvised that a little caffeine doesn't hurt anything! The salted mocha is my most favorite drink of all time, and couldn't resist!

    Good luck!

  10. Just wanted to let you know that I've been reading your blog for quite awhile, and I've been praying for you and your sweet girls since I found out you were pregnant! Know that even random strangers in blogland have you covered in prayer during this time! πŸ™‚

    Happy Friday! xo

  12. I can't remember how I first found you, maybe from slightly askew or mix and match mama. But I loved chocolate broccoli for a while and love this blog about your journey. I'm sure you don't always feel it…but you may be one of the most chic pregger ladies I ever have seen:)
