Heart Day, My Bday and the Cottage

Nick took me to Carmel for Vday and my Bday, we stayed at my Aunt and Uncles cottage. Nick and I LOVE this place. My Aunt Tami has done such an amazing job decorating, you feel like you are in a cottage in Paris. Nick and I had the fireplace on all the time. It was super rainy and windy so we had to stay in and play games. Darn! For Vday dinner Nick made me pork chops and a mound of mash potatoes. Then the next morning he got up and made me waffles and bacon! I love to eat. Plus I opened my presie and it was a Wii!! Nick, my sisters, Holly, Mandy and Lanie all pitched in and got it for me. It was so awesome and I was just a little excited. We had the best time. Dad took care of the dog for us so we didn't even have to worry about poor Samson being left behind. It was the best weekend ever.

all is good in the hood

Just a little update. We had our doc appt. with the OB today and everything looks good! The other doctor told us they would send our results to the OBGYN and the OB said they would have told us right then and there if he saw anything, so we figure no news is good news. Oh and one of the boys was kicking the other one in the head. And so it begins.

That's it for now!

BOYS!

Boys, boys we love boys!! So right now you are checking out Baby A and Baby B, and our doc is about 90% sure they are boys. We are soooo super excited. I have been put on some restrictions, such as no exercise, no vacuuming, and he said to lay down at least a half an hour at lunch. Nick would like to know how this varies from my everyday life. Now we wait until Tuesday when they tell us if they see anything wrong. Blah. Keep up the prayers, oh and if you want to know names, for now just call em' Hoss and Little Joe.

Last Dr. Baby Appt.

And at last we are done with Dr. Baby!! Everything looks good so far, we have our first real appointment next week with the OBGYN. We got to hang out with our friends Melissa and Brian last night who had twins in November. It was just a teeny, tiny taste of what is to come. I have to say that Miss and Brian are amazing and their babies are sooooo cute. However, I am seeing many, many sleepless nights in our future!! I think I'd better go take a nap!

Baby Update

As most of you know we are prego with twins!!! We are super excited about this and a little bit nervous at the same time. Thank you everyone for praying for us (don't stop!) and for just being there for us. Our next and last appointment with Dr. Baby is Wednesday (1/7). I will be glad to start treating this more like a normal pregnancy but I'm still holding my breath for this last appointment. If the way I feel is any indication of how the babies are doing, then I think we are fine (read that as lots of nausea and yet I am starving all the time, also exhausted).

We will let you know how our Wednesday appt. goes!

Whos idea was Seattle in Decemeber anyway??!!

Oh right, mine! Ha. Thought that Nick would enjoy Seattle but maybe not during the worst snow storm they've had in 10 years. Yes it was a tad on the chilly side and anyone who knows me, knows that I am not fond of the cold. It's fun for awhile, oh yes, but for a week...not so much. We had a great time anyway. We went to museums, the needle, Pikes, and ate a ton of amazing food. I am very lucky that my husband is a planner because he mapped out cool places to go and eat. We had the BEST grilled cheese sandwiches and to die for macadamia nut pancakes (they were so good we went back twice!).

We were also very blessed because the one day they were able to get planes in and out of Seattle was Tuesday, the day we were planning to leave. Whew. There were tons of people hanging at the airport. It was crazy.

All in all, we had a smashing time.
