14 Weeks

One trimester down, two to go!

I have been extremely lucky up to this point.  The babies have been very sweet to mama.  I got sick one time in my first trimester.  What does that mean?  Girls?  Boys?  One of each?  If Brian has his way (which I think he will), we will have 2 little boys.  Two little fishermen buddies for dad to take out on his excursions.  While I would probably enjoy the quiet time while they were out, I am hoping for at least one little girl in there!  We will see...

Baby A at 14 weeks

 

Baby B at 14 weeks - that is his/her hand up by the head.  Brian thinks it's the baby's first "Hook'em Horns" sign. :)



10 Weeks

We went back for our second ultrasound on December 23, 2011.  It's amazing how much has changed in 3 weeks.  They look like little peanuts!  Cutest little peanuts that I have ever seen. 

7 Weeks

On December 7, 2011, we received some wonderful news... we're having TWINS!!  It was our first ultrasound and as we sat there praying to hear a heartbeat, the Dr. wrote "TWINS!!!" across the screen.  We knew at that moment our lives would never be the same. :)



Baby A and Baby B - due July 24, 2012!
