We know but we're not telling yet!!

My handsome husband! I love his Mohawk but he doesn't like it that much. I just don't think he likes to have to 'do' his hair.

My daughters this past fall. I can't help but take pictures of them. They are so stinking cute!

Ok, so this past thursday we had our anatomy ultrasound and we found out the sex of the twins! We aren't telling until this weekend, sorry we want our parents to hear first. We also found out that I have placenta previa. Which can be dangerous to my and the babies health if it doesn't clear up, especially as I get closer to delivery of my bundles of joy.

This has been the greatest time for me and my husband because we know something and it's pretty neat seeing how people don't like not being in the know. Everyone we know that has ever been pregnant hasn't kept the babies sex a secret, unless they didn't find out themselves. So, our keeping the secret for just a few days is really getting to people.

We are deciding whether or not to share the babies names with everyone. Every time I tell someone a name I want to use, they say oh I'm going to use that... It's annoying to the extreme!

This time I'm just going to tell people to lay off my baby names! I don't want to hear anyone naming their kids what I name mine for a long time! I have names already set in my mind, basically for years. I picked them out before I even had kids or thought about having them.

Now, I just kinda have to pick out definate middle names. That part will be easy. We already have one set.

I've been going through tons of emotions this week. We've been so busy that I haven't been able to sleep like I need to and I've been running through the pregnancy emotional gambit. Everything I'm not supposed to do or have happen I've done or had happen this week.

Ohhhh!!! Everyday the babies kicks get stronger and stronger!! It's so awesome to feel! I just wish it was a little bit harder so that Greg could feel it too. He gets jealous that I get to feel all of this cool stuff with the babies and he has to wait for all of it. Even just feeling them move he has to wait. He gets to see them first no matter how I give birth so I think that's unfair! I carried them and have to eat mountains of food to keep them healthy, why does he get to meet them first?

It's really late so I'm going to head to bed... I'll try to scan the ultrasound pictures this weekend so I can post and narrate them. I'm just getting more and more excited! These babies are such an awesome miracle!

Identical Twins!!!!

We found out we were having twins when I was 9 weeks pregnant. It actually wasn't to much of a shock because we joked about about it when we found out I was pregnant.

When we got in the office my dr asked all the normal questions and we joked about seeing 2. When he started the ultrasound he was quiet but then he said how did you know about there being 2? We kinda looked at him and said are you serious and he said yeah look... 2 heartbeats!!! We were happy and a little shocked to find out our joking was true but it was wonderful at the same time!

We went for a second diagnostic ultrasound which just confirmed the first one and we told our parents we were having twins at that point. It was so funny to see everyone's reactions considering we weren't going to have anymore babies but me staying home to save money changed our minds. Plus, we kinda wanted to try for a boy because we have 2 girls.

Now we just have to wait until February 10th to find out what we are having and I'm sooo excited/nervous/apprehensive to find out. I'm praying and begging God for 2 identical little boys but either way as long as my babies are healthy that's all that really matters. 4 girls is a lot of girls in the house for my poor husband. He's a trooper so he'll just take it in stride like he does everything else in our lives.

Speaking of husband. Have I mentioned how wonderful mine is? He is one of the kindest men out there. He puts us first and takes care of us so well. I can't wait til I'm not drop dead tired anymore to start being able to take better care of him again. He deserves it! I love him with everything I have, heart, soul, body, and mind! Yup, that much! Amazing just about sums him up!

My two little girls Mia(6) and Grace(4) are absolutely the greatest little girls ever! I couldn't be blessed with 2 more wonderful little ladies. Just pray for me anyway though. 4 kids is a lot for anyone! At least my girls are a little older. I feel bad for the people who have toddlers and then have twins. My girls will be going into First Grade and Pre-school shortly after they are born. That way I'll have like 3 days a week were I'll only have 2 kids to take care of for a few hours. It's still a lot but probably a little easier than 4 precious angels vying for my attention at once.

Well, I think I got just about caught up, at least for the last 4 months.

I am 18 weeks and technically 5 days now :) it's after midnight.
