10 weeks 5 days
Today I had another ultrasound and it was amazing! He said they are both doing great. They are side by side with one being towards my belly and the other closer to my back. It was so cute to see them in there. The one in the front was sleeping or relaxing and the one toward the back was so active. I saw it kicking and flipping around! I think that's when I realized just how real this really is and I am just so excited to meet them. I think that the one that was all calm is a little girl and the one bouncing off the walls is a little boy but we wont actually know for a few more weeks. My doctor wants me to come in every four weeks so my next doctors appointment is march 3rd at 140pm. We might be able to see what we are having then but if not then defiantly the next one around march 31st. Also he said my due date is Aug 23rd but twins usually come about 35weeks so that date is July 19Th. So pretty much we can expect them in JULY! AHHH I can hardly wait.

Eight weeks 3days
So we made it to eight and a half weeks... :) I have been pretty sick but it is not something i cant handle. I throw up about one-two times a day and am nauseous pretty much 24/7. Its all good though because that is a great sign that everything is going great. Ya know I thought when you were pregnant you would want to eat everything but I don't want anything. the thought of food makes me sick. I have found a few things that kinda settle the tummy. I have been eating so many bags of goldfish crackers we could have bought the factory, and also pudding. Chris was worried that I was not getting enough protein and suck so he got me these protein drinks called boost and they are actually good too. The boost drink is great for breakfast and helps reduce the morning sickness.
So my next doctor appointment is with my normal ob/gyn and he wants an ultra sound at ten weeks so 01-25-11 we will get another baby check. oh ya we had our first ultra sound last week and the doctor said everything looked wonderful! We even got to see and hear the little heartbeats! That's right we are having twins! There are two little peanuts in there. No wonder I'm so freaking sick. hahaha. He said the due date is Aug. 23 but with twins they usually come about 35 weeks so that's...July 20th. I cant wait. I know its going to be hard but every minute will be amazing. We have a 50/50 chance of having a girl and a boy. We are really hoping that we can get one of each but we also know we cant be picky so we will be happy just having two happy healthy babies.
I couldn't hold the secret anymore after that apt so right after the ultra sound was done we went up to Layton and had dinner with my mom. We showed her the ultra sounds and she started to cry(kinda). She is so excited to be a grandma. We also told my dad and Chris's dad. Their reactions are so funny. We tell them that we are pregnant and then we add that we are having twins and everyone says...no way....your joking...they really don't believe us for like five minutes lol.
Okay so funny little story that I want to remember forever. ---it may be more funny to me--- Just today 01-15 Chris and i went to find the stroller,car seats, rockers, and playpens that we like. We walked around babies r us for well over an hour. It was fun but a little stressful. With us having twins it makes it a bit more expensive. Anyway funny part. After we got the diaper bag that we liked we were walking down the isle and came upon a box of wipes. Chris said "wow those will take up the whole diaper bag." He looked at the bag and the wipes. I just busted a gut. He was so cute and has no idea about a lot of baby stuff. As I was laughing I kissed him and told him that they have travel carriers for the wipes that are thin so it wont take up that much room. It is so fun to be with him and figure it all out together...there is plenty we both have to learn and there is no one else in the world I would want to do this with. I don't know how I was so lucky to find him. We are on this great adventure of life and we get to do it together. I couldn't have asked for a better man in my life.
Sorry I know my ideas bounce all over but I wait to long to blog so I always have way to much to tell. So my last thought for this blog is... Our babies will have a cousin their age to play with! I found out last night that my cousin Ryan and Heidi are expecting their first little one. She is 14 weeks now so I think that makes her due July 14 th ish. Our little ones will have play mates at the reunion's and such. :) They still don't know we are expecting so it will be fun when they find out.
