Moving right along

Well I last left off at 9 weeks. I will be 11 weeks tomorrow. I would love to say that I am feeling great, but honestly I am not. Been feeling horrible most days and eating has just been really hard b/c I have felt so sick. However, I am sure that I am just around the corner from some great days!!! I had a little incident on Wednesday and passed out at school. After many many tests from my doctor he said he really doesn't have an answer. I don't have hypoglycemia or anything. I think I was just up super early and had been moving around really fast and hadn't had enough food yet. Basically it is just draining to carry twins and I have to be EXTRA careful!

We got to see the babies a little extra this past week since I was at the doctor soo much. The babies are looking and doing great. They were moving and their heartbeats were at 164 and 168. We go back at the end of May and get to find out the sexes. We can't wait! We are ready to put together a nursey!

We sold Jon's truck about 3 weeks b/c we knew we had to get something more suited for a family of 5. We found a great deal on an older Honda Odyssey and we love it! It seats 7 and is perfect!!

Today I went on an organizing kick. I decided everything had to be in its place before summer that way during the summer we can have the nursey completely ready before I start back to school in August. I spent hours cleaning out Alexis's closet and organizing her toys. It looks great. I cleaned everything out of our guest closet and now we just have to get the computer and tv out of there. I cleaned and made alot of empty shelves in the kitchen, lexies bathroom, and hallway closet that way we we have room for baby blankets, formula, bottles, towels etc..
I am just so excited I got all of this done today! It makes me feel like our house is now ready to set up a great nursey for these two little angels inside of me!!

Until next time!!!! :)

Our World is Changing..

When I started this blog in January I had intentions of keeping it up. However, that didn't happen but now I am more determined than ever that I will update my blog..

On March 3 we found out we were pregnant. We told our parents and Alexis on that Friday and decided we would wait to tell anyone else until we heard a heartbeat.
On March 24 Jon and myself went to the doctor with great expectations of hearing a good solid heartbeat.
Well suprise suprise not only did we hear one awesome 136 bpm heartbeat we heard another beautiful sound at 131 bpm. We found out we were having twins. Now to say we were shocked is just an understatement. I just kept looking at the nurse going you are kidding right. However it was very clear that there were not 1 but two sacs right there in front of our eyes. That day was just a day of shock. It was all exciting but just so shocking. Jon and I were completely thrilled to say the least. I just feel like we are being handed a major blessing with two babies. We are thrilled. We will find out around 15 or 16 weeks what the sexes are and if they are identical or fraternal. However, b/c there were two separate sacs with a membrane in between the nurse said they are most likely not identical. Which is ok with me if they aren't identical, might get a little too confusing.
Now big sister Alexis is beyond thrilled! She was so excited to have 1 sibling now the thought of 2 is just wonderful to her. She couldn't wait to tell her teacher and her friends. I just know Alexis is going to be an amazing big sister. She has already said that the proper way to hold them is by protecting their heads and that it is very important for us to remember that halfway through a bottle we must stop and burp them. I mean come on does that sound like an awesome big sis or what!

So as far as the pregnancy goes I have been very sick.I am 9 weeks today. I am nauseous alot of the time and just have absolutly no energy which is so rare for me. However, I will not be shut down I am still walking 2 miles 6 days a week and plan to keep that up with my mom for the entire pregnancy.

I hope you will share in our excitement and follow our blog to read each new milestone we reach!
