Almost through the first trimester!




We are feeling more and more excited each day, awaiting the arrival of these precious babies!  Our specialist has cleared us to continue care through an OB, so that is terrific news!  The babies are both growing strong.  It has been a blessing each day to be a part of this miracle.  So far, we've learned that babies really like pickles, red grapes and lime popsicles.  They also like to enjoy dumplings from Cracker Barrel and anything else loaded with carbs!  YUM!!!  I have not been able to partake in my previous sweet-tooth behaviors, which I guess is not a bad thing.  My pants have slowly dwindled down to 1 or 2 pairs that I can still zip, and I am really starting to enjoy the beauty of the elastic waisted maternity pants!  Bullet and Milo have decided that they too have trouble with feeling sick in the morning and like to share my crackers in bed before we start the day.  It's been such a blast thinking about what these little ones will look like and what their personalities will be.  We are so thankful to be able to share this special time with our families and friends.  

The ultrasound pictures are from our 10 week appointment, so the babies are bigger now, but I think it was cute how they are both in the same frame.  If you look closely or are really good at reading ultrasounds, you can see little toe buds in the top picture!  I will keep the updates coming! XOXO
