25 weeks

This pregnancy has been going pretty good so far. I had my glucose appointment yesterday, and find out tomorrow if I passed it. Crossing my fingers. My Dr. also told me that both girls are head down, which she was pretty excited about. She also said I was measuring the same as a 28 week for a singleton. (which is totally normal, and I am right on track) I love getting to see them every appointment. My next appointment is my last month one and then I will be going every 2 weeks. I feel like this pregnancy has been going pretty fast.

She is really liking seeing all the "pretty lights" on the houses.  She loves books, and her favorite right now is "Fox in Socks" by Dr Seuss. She loves our dog Dakota, and is always asking to go outside and play with her.

Well that's just a little update.

Twin Girls

So this past Thursday we had a gender reveal party with our immediate family. Brad and I went to the ultra sound on Tuesday and had them put the genders in an envelope. I immediately dropped it off at the baker's house so WE were not tempted to look. (It was SUPER hard not to look, trust me.) We decided we wanted to find out with all of our family.

The end result!!More pink and bows for our house.

Anyways so Thursday night they all came over and we had 2 cakes made; one for baby A, and one for baby B. On the inside it was either going to be pink or blue. I had made signs and had everyone guess what they thought the babies were going to be. Only 4 people thought 2 girls. We were completely shocked!!! My last thought was 2 girls since I have been feeling good, and with Riley I had some sickness.

TWINS

 It's been way to long since I have updated this blog. Our summer went by way to fast!!! As I'm sure everyone else did too.

It has been pretty eventful because in July I found out that we were expecting again. We went to the doctor in August for my first ultra sound. When we were waiting in the room for my doctor to come in I said to Brad "What if it was Twins or Triplets!" He said that he would probably faint right then and there.
Well she started the ultra sound and said "Oh there is two!"
We were both really shocked to say the least. My brother and sister are twins but I always thought it skipped a generation and never thought I could actually have twins. Well here we are at 12 weeks and it has been going pretty smoothly. No morning sickness this time around. I told Brad that means their has to be at least one boy! He is hoping!! I feel a lot more hungry during the day, and I feel a lot bigger than I did with Riley this time around. But so far so good. We have an appointment next week Wednesday to hear the heartbeats.
