Think Pink...

...we're having two girls!!!!

I had a feeling that Baby A was a girl, but I never really thought that there would be two! My mom has said all along that it was two girls and it was pay back time since I was such an angel*wink wink* growing up.

Knowing the genders and feeling them move around makes this feel so much more real. We are both so excited. I'm ready to start shopping and decorating the nursery and Mike is ready to start on his honey-do list.


Sorry-the pictures are a little blurry.


Baby A was facing head down with her face against my back so it was hard to get a good picture


Baby B was much more cooperative and was waving her hand like crazy!

Half Way There...

19 Weeks...


I can't believe that I'm already half way through the pregnancy! My doctor considers twins "overdue" at 38 weeks and on average twins arrive around 35 weeks, so it may be even closer.

I'm definitely feeling and looking much more preggers. Working out, bending over, sleeping and being on my feet all day are becoming a little harder.

I had a little scare last week while working in Oregon...none of the twin pregnancy books tell you that round ligament (growing pains) pains hurt so bad that they make you double over in pain and cry...I seriously thought I was having contractions. Luckily, I was traveling with my co-worker and after a trip to the ER, everything checked out perfect. While it was very scary, I was excited to get another quick peak of the babes. I tried to look between the legs, but it was really hard to tell, I did see a lot of Baby B and I'm thinking it may be a girl??? Needless to say, after two scares in Oregon, I think the state has cursed me and my traveling days may be over.

As long as the babes cooperate tomorrow, we'll find out the sexes! As you all know, I am NOT a very patient person and have been waiting and waiting for this day to come so I can get start decorating the nursery. Stay tuned...

DeLane's 30th!

Happy 30th birthday to my dear friend DeLane!

Nine of us girls got to spend last weekend in Chelan celebrating DeLane's birthday. It was so much fun to have a girls weekend eating, catching up, and enjoying the sun.

I hope you have a wonderful day friend! I feel so fortunate to have you a part of my life!

What to do if preggers on Cinco de Mayo?

Unfortunately, I wasn't able to enjoy one of my favorite cocktails this year, but I did find a new favorite activity-Prenatal Yoga! Even though I am not much of a yogi, I heart the studio Courtney introduced me to a couple of weeks ago. Lots of good stretching and relaxing poses. Thanks for talking me into it Court!

I finally did it...

After years of following my friends and families blogs, I decided they may want to follow mine too...especially now that Mike and I have more to share!

Sooo, here goes! Friday marked the 16th week into my pregnancy. I can't even tell you how great it is to be out of the 1st trimester. Even though I'm experiencing more symptoms now (tired, cranky, tired, bloated, tired, hungry and more that I won't share:)) I finally feel and look pregnant and can breathe a sigh of relief that we are out of the "danger zone".

All weekend I thought I was feeling gas bubbles in my tummy, but as I'm writting this, I'm beginning to think my babies have started to give me love taps.

Here's a picture of them at 12 weeks:
BABY A-Not the best picture. There really is arms and legs!


BABY B-Waving hello!


Mike wants to document my growing belly each month. As long as I don't get too huge I'll keep sharing! This was my first day of officially wearing prego pants!
