No GD! Yay one less thing to be worried about

I called the Dr yesterday and they told me no diabetes. Yay! One less thing to worry about. I have to admit I was concerned given my weight that if I did end up with Gestational Diabetes that it would probably would not have gone away after the birth. So I'm more than happy with that result.

Work is slow and tedious because I'm trying to very hard not to do my own work so that the person replacing me gets to do it and learn. So I'm more or less sitting twiddling my thumbs and letting her get on with it :) Makes it a bit of a long day tho. So I'm starting to work on lists of things we will need for the nursery etc.

I think I'm going to not buy much in the way of crib sets. It seems a waste and from what I hear half the time the kids don't really use it. All we really need is a sheet and the receiving blankets to keep them warm. I will probably get a couple of bumpers for the cribs but a whole set just seems a tad excessive and lets face it they are a bit young to really appreciate anything too pretty anyway! Does it all really need to match I ask myself?

So my thoughts so far are probably 4 sheets (2 for each crib one for the crib one for the wash) 3 waterproof matress covers 1 for each crib and one spare in case they wet one. I don't think I really need 4. Then I'm like ok...diaper pail, bottle warmer, bottle sterilizer, bottles...even tho I plan on breast feeding I think I am going to need the bottles for when I pump. Hmm, some kind of bouncer and some kind of swing I am thinking one of each. I think I also would like some baskets to hold some of the essentials in on the changer. Clothes aren't so much of an issue after that box from my girlfriend :) However ooo yes we will need a baby monitor. Oh and a baby changing mat...baby bath seat probably more comfortable than trying to do wash them in the sinks without one.

I've decided to go with disposable diapers...mostly because I don't think I'll be able to cope with the washing load for the diapers for twins. It's going to be hard enough as it is just keeping up with washing the baby clothes. I do think I'm going to want some receiving blankets. Wash clothes I think 2 per baby is more than enough, course different colours will be required so I can tell them apart! If I need more I can always buy more later.

I'm not so worried about high chairs we can wait on getting those till they are a bit older I think same with the baby gates. I would like however some kind of floor activity thing and a mobile for the crib. Anyone think of anything I'm missing? Er probably will need pads for nursing for me I guess provided I can nurse. Oh and covers for the electrical outlets, although those won't be too necessary until they start to crawl around. Diaper bag....
