Thankful for 20 week blessings!

God continues to remind us of how miraculous this whole experience is, and we are so thankful for His blessings! We visited our OB for a 20 ultrasound and full fetal assessment. Our ultrasound tech was awesome and showed us healthy lips, brains, kidneys, spines, femurs... we are so thankful for healthy babies! Both babies are getting more and more active, although, so far they are wonderful babies who don't wake their mom at night.... let's hope we can keep them on their current schedule! :)
Below are some pictures from today's ultrasound. Our little girl was a bit too wiggly to catch, although we did get one picture of her (she is the one looking down, spine up). I'm afraid that she is going to be small but mighty. Little man tried so hard to be a good boy for the ultrasound tech, but his sister kept kicking him (the beautiful profile picture is his). At one time, we even saw her sitting on his head. Oh goodness...





Jason's dream of raising his son to be an NFL kicker just might come true. It seems our baby boy has inherited his father's feet. Poor thing... shoe shopping will never be easy.

I'm sorry to say that I think I will be cutting out the Fruity Cheerios for a special treat only. Frankly, I'm still a little surprised at the amount of weight that I gained, so I'm going to be doing my best to slow that down. I am happy to say that our little girl is 13 ounces and our little boy is 14 ounces. Both babies are right on track.



We are still working on the nursery. I will post pictures of the finished product as soon as we can.
Thanks for your prayers! I'll keep the updates coming! Halfway there!!!!

20 weeks!!??

I can't believe we are here at our 20 week mark. What an amazingly awesome experience this has been... can't believe it is going so quickly! Truly, we are thankful for each day. It has been a blast to read our books each week just to see "what the babies are doing". We are also excited to head back to the OB this Friday for an ultrasound/check-up. Keep those prayers coming for healthy babies! It seems my stomach has grown a bit over the past week... pictures to come later. Mom laughed at me a little when she saw me this weekend, surprised at how much I'd grown since her last visit 3 days prior. I am now feeling the babies move more consistently. Jason and I were even able to "see" a movement the other day. So cool. We've started on the nursery and will post pictures when finished. Other than that, all is well. Jason laughed at me yesterday in the grocery store as I purchased yet another two boxes of cereal. I'm wondering exactly how much cereal can be consumed during the second trimester of pregnancy... lots, I'm guessing. By the way, if you have not tried them yet, Fruity Cheerios are delicious! Anyway, just wanted to share our thoughts as we start this milestone week. I will post again after our appointment on Friday. Have a great week!

16 week excitement

We are so happy to share the news that we are having a little boy and a little girl!  Each day, we fall more and more in love with these two little babies! We are so incredibly thankful to be a part of this miracle... God is so good to us. Below are some pictures from our cookout/scavenger hunt that we had to share the news with our families. Enjoy!




Mom bought this super cute cake to bring to the cookout. Can you tell that we are just a little excited?



I will upload more pictures after our next ultrasound. Thanks for sharing in the excitement!!!
