::land of no internet::

We just moved from our beloved apartment into our new home. My biggest fear was, of course, whether O will adjust to the new environment well. So far, she has been a champ--eating, sleeping and playing as she should. What's not to love?! More space to run around and more cabinets to explore!

Me, however, has been disconnected to the Internet for almost a week! Right now, I'm sneaking in an online moment on Architectdad's wireless connection. The cable guy was supposed to be here an hour ago, but there is still no sign of him. I could do without TV, no problem. But being in the land of no Internet has been rough...

In any case, a bit of good news. We had our 20-week anatomical sono scan last week. Everything is on target and the babies are doing well. We also found out the sex of the kinders...drum roll please...A GIRL AND A BOY!!! We are so very lucky.

::thank goodness for target::

Being a first-born, O has more designer "things" than me and Architectdad combined. Her nursery is decorated with Nurseryworks furniture and bedding. However, when we found out we are having twins, brands such as Target and Ikea immediately came to mind.

Simple, yet passably modern is what we were aiming for. Ikea has inexpensive cribs, but they really look and feel inexpensive. So we turned to Target. As most of you know, Target is a magnet for established designers who are looking to break into the mass market. Dwell Studio has also partnered with Target to bring us inexpensive, yet chic nursery furniture and bedding.

The only hiccup is the items are only sold online. Can't really see it in person to check out the quality for real. Check it out online anyway...you'll be pleasantly surprised.
