Alex was good on his word, and when he had a day off again, he and I took off into the city and went looking for a baby store. I wanted to look at getting toys and clothes for Tom and Stella. I was wanted to make sure that they got a stuffed animal they could cherish since I didn't have one.
I wore the white and navy blue striped shirt Alex got me and a pair of grey skinny jeans with my black TOMs and he wore his Ravens tank top, dark grey cut off jeans, and his tan dock shoes. He has quite the tan on him and the pink in his hair was really faded. When we finally got to the store, I instantly ventured to the little girl clothes. I was in awe at what they had for newborns.
"Alex, we have to get this one," I held a onsie that said: MY DADDY IS A ROCKSTAR. It fit so perfectly since he was.
"Oh and this one too," he held up antoher that read: MOMMY'S LITTLE PRINCESS.
"We have to find some fun ones for Tom too," I put my onsie and the one Alex found into the basket.
We got done browsing the store when I had a Pooh bear for Stella and Tigger for Tom and a couple of onsies for Tom to match Stella's. I also got a little dress for Stella and a nice outfit for Tom. Alex paid for everything and we took off to look at a bridal shop to see about finding the color I want my bridesmaids to wear and so we have a color for the groomsmen's ties and the decorations for the wedding.
"I like this one," Alex pulled out a dark green dress.
"No way. Go sit down while I look. You have a terrible taste in colors," I told him.
"Not a chance. You are pregnant and I'm sticking by you. Just in case," he wrapped his arms around me and rested his hands on my round belly. I had gotten a bit bigger in the week or two since he went out shopping for me.
"Alex just let me pick the right color. I'll now it when I see it," I told him and I continued looking. I eventually found the perfect shade of turquoise that wasn't too bright but not too dark. I took a picture of it and sent it out to Rian's girlfriend Cassadee and Jack's sister May. I decided to not have a maid of honor since I didn't have a best girl friend and I had decided on having Micah hand me off at my wedding to Alex since he was like a brother to me and helped through so much shit.

Alex and I had gotten back to the bus after we ate dinner and we were just looking at different venues we could get married at on his mac. We were still trying to narrow down our choices when I felt a sudden movement that made me jolt upright a little.
"Are you alright Jules," Alex was really concerned. Then the movememnt happened again.
"I think one of them moved. I think one of the twins kicked," I was overjoyed by the feeling I had that I started to cry.
"No way," Alex lifted my shirt, exposing my pregnant midsection and rest his warm hand on my stomach. That's when there was a movement right where his hand was.
"One of them just hit your hand," I beamed as I started to cry at the happiness of this moment.
"This is incredible. Soon I'll be holding my daughter and son. We'll be a happy family and nothing will change it," he beamed before he kissed me softly.
"All I know is I can't wait to see my toes again. I feel like a blimp," I rubbed my belly softly, giggling softly at how simple my desire to see my feet again was.
"Don't rush it. You'll want these days back again. The feeling of being so happy and in love with me. Plus we're getting to enjoy our sleep. Soon we'll be having to wake up every hour or so to tend to two fussy babies," Alex had a good point.
"I agree. We'll need to get the baby shower organized soon so we can get the things we'll need for the nursery back home in Baltimore," I told him.
"Agreed. For now let's get some sleep," Alex laid back and I rested next to him, nestling as close as my baby bump would allow me.
I want the wait to be over. I want to be Julia Gaskarth and have my little bouncing beans Stella and Tom out of my womb and in warm cribs, sleeping soundly while Alex and I sleep is wait for them to cry.
