Eggy hauls! Thanks to friends with twins!

We're very fortunate to have some very good friends here in Boston, many of whom have oddly-enough had twins recently... we just scored a huge baby haul from Ian/Marla who are "downsizing" from their 1400 sf condo to a 4000+ sf townhouse on Marlboro Street.  We're just fortunate their li'l ones (Jack & Sophie) have started to out-grow their things and that Ian/Marla only buy the best of the best!  They're like my "Ed" hand-me-downs - stuff I probably would never buy on my own ; ).  Anyway, we haven't really even started our baby registry yet and most of the stuff we need we already got!

Phil & Tracy, whose twin boys John & Henry, also gave Lisa a TON of maternity clothes, including a maternity bathing suit which Lisa used extensively on our PR Babymoon... plus a full-body pillow (see pic below), which at some point will replace me - the thing literally leaves no room for me in bed!

Our other friends, Prashant & Kalpana, whose twins Mallika and Akshay, have also offered to give us lots of things... thank god for friends with twins!

We've still got a long way to go until Jun 27 (or so), but can't wait to "pay it forward" to our other friends who have kids after us!

Lisa had another appointment with Dr. Mimi last week - heartbeat is still very strong, and Lisa's weight gain is right on track... we've got our next (and probably last) ultrasound in 3 weeks on Mar 10th!
