the home stretch

So here we are... I am now almost 32 weeks pregnant,
and since our babies are sharing a single placenta,
my doctor has made it perfectly clear that she will not let me go past 36 weeks.
So... that means I've got about 4 weeks to go before my baby boys will be here!

 4 weeks... Oh my!

And while at times 4 weeks seems like absolutely nothing,
I must admit that I'm now really starting to look forward to
not being so hugely pregnant anymore...

Especially since there's really not much I'm able to do anymore 
except sipping lots of herbal tea with honey, 
(I got myself a nasty cold while out shopping for the boys this saturday),
 taking long afternoon naps (our cat Maia has suddenly become one of my biggest role models...),
making sure all the baby stuff is neatly washed, ironed, folded and stacked,
shopping online for lots & lots of gorgeous baby stuff,
(I actually got two of the wooden teether toys featured below, and they're simply amazing!),
and knitting of course...

So this is what this week's inspiration looks like for me:
I hope you like it!

Thank you very much for all your sweet messages of encouragement!
I'm resting a LOT these days, and enjoy the last stretches of laziness,
but most of all, I'm looking forward to finally meeting my boys!

Het wordt nu wel echt spannend. Ik ben blij dat ik nog eens kan over komen om jullie te zien en samen wat te relaxe. Als de boys geboren worden zal het wel erg druk worden.Maar het zal ook zo fantastisch zijn.Knuffels.mam

Congratulation for 32 weeks! I like to watch your beautiful preparations for the arrival of your boys!
The wooden toys looks fabulous! ( but I think for the start something more soft will be better for them to play ;-)
Good luck with the 4 weeks!
