About 1/2 way there or so

This week is 18wks, just about half way there (at least for the twins). I can't decide if time is going by really fast or really slow. It seems like both at the same time. Is that possible? Things are great but we both have a sense that we are in the calm before the storm. It seems we have so much to do before we need to go to India in October but I've convinced myself we need to wait for the third trimester. I work at a university so I have vacation most of August and then I need to get to my to do list. (1) We need to decide if we are staying in our one bedroom until the end of the lease in March and if so where will we go in March? And should we go further from the city and get a bigger place? Mr. M feels he didn't move to America to live out of Manhattan (?) Unlike Sarah Palin, he thinks Manhattan is the real America! I have to remember to take him on a cross-country road trip at some point. We might just move into one of those storage lockers you can rent. The thing that makes me want to stay is that we have washer/dryer in unit which is rare of a NYC rental (2) Childcare: Daycare is too pricey for three so that is out. We will get a full-time Nanny (and maybe baby nurse for first month to get on a schedule). I prefer a live-in which means we need to move out of city. Mr. M. prefers a live-in who sleeps with the babies in the living room! I don't think that is very realistic but sometimes a little experience turns out to be the best teacher. I guess those are the big ones. (3) We also need to find a pediatrician, meet with a lawyer about second-parent adoption, and get lots of stuff (crib and stroller to start with; lots of bottles and diapers, onesies, lots and lots of receiving blankets and burping cloths, swings/boppys/vibrating stuff, lotion, and this is just off the top of my head). Finally (4) we have to plan to whole trip to India, get paperwork ready, figure out how two males will get three newborns home. It is a long and stressful list... so I say... it can wait til August...
