20 Week Ultrasound pics!

I thought this was a really cool foot shot of our little boy.


Profile shots. The little boy is the first one and the
little girl is below. Poor guy was getting his face smooshed
in the top shot so it's hard to see him good.


Here's the gender shots of both of them.
It's pretty easy to tell the difference.

I finally got these scanned in! I had to use Tyler's printer at school because ours is a piece of junk. These pics are 7 weeks ago at my 20 week ultrasound. We kind of already knew that it was a boy and a girl because I had an appointment with my doc the week before and he was fairly positive it was one of each. Although the ultrasound machine he was using was from the dark ages and the 20 week ultrasound was with my other doctor with a better machine. We were so thrilled when we found out we were having one of each. I actually thought it was going to be two boys but Tyler thought it would be a boy and a girl. Nobody really thought it would be two girls. Although at my appointment the doctor said he didn't see any little boy parts at first. Tyler's face was priceless when he said that. He looked terrified! It was pretty funny. I don't think he realized how much he wanted at least one boy till he said that.
Our little girl seems to be much more active that our little boy. I wonder if they will have similar personalities when they're born. It's pretty fun to watch my stomach when they are really active. It looks like I have aliens moving in my belly! We can't wait to meet our little aliens!

Baby Updates!!


The baby bump at about about 23 weeks.


This is really all I have set up in the nursery,
but I think they look pretty cute. I got the bedding
on sale at Pottery Barn Kids and Tyler picked out
the cribs (he's pretty proud). I'll put more pics
on here when I get it decorated a bit more.


Yes I know it's been a really long time since I've updated this lame-o blog so I'm trying to make up for it. In my defense our hard drive crashed and took all of our pics and programs with it so I've been trying to get everything set up again so I can put pics on here again. I'm still trying to figure out how to get out scanner to work so I can post some ultrasound pics but haven't figured that out yet.
As far as the pregnancy updates, I'm now almost 27 weeks along but I'm feeling like I should be further than thay. My doctor said that I'm basically two months ahead in size because I'm holding two. (That would make me about eight months along) Oh and I don't think I ever announced on here what we're having. I can't believe I forgot that. For those of you who don't know we're having a boy and a girl. It's actually just what we we're hoping for so we we're thrilled when we found out. The babies are looking healthy so far. The little girl is sure more active that the little boy. She likes to kick really hard already! They said that the little boy will be born first if they are positioned correctly so he'll be older.
I haven't been feeling awesome lately. (I'm going to complain for a small paragraph just a warning) I can't sit for longer than an hour and I can't stand for longer than an hour, so I constantly getting up and walking around or the opposite. Sitting through 3 hours of church nearly kills me. If I lay a certain way and then get up a nerve in my back shoots down my spine. Sleeping is really uncomfortable, my gums bleed every time I brush, and my hands and feet are really hot and starting to swell. There that's my gripe for the week. I know it will all be worth it though and I can't wait to meet these little babies!! Just a couple more months!!

Catching Up!! Halloween!


Jim and Pam joined us on Halloween for soup
a nice visit.

Yes I know it's wrong on many levels, but we thought
it was pretty funny. I was really embarassed walking
through Macy's with these costumes on. Tyler said we
couldn't smile in the pic so that's why we look so stupid.

This is my pumpkin all lit up. I ended up having to
work on it by myself because Tyler's carving time
was about 10 minutes. It was pretty relaxing though.

Yeah my belly is already about the size of my
pumpkin and my face is quickly approaching
the same size.

Now you know why it only took him
10 minutes to carve his.

We had a good time this Halloween. Zach and Amy, Andrew and Hannah and Tyler's parents'
came over for soup and bread bowls, and Tyler's parents' were nice enough to help pass out candy while we got food. We had quite a nice turn out of kids this year. Our neighborhood is pretty perfect for little kids to go trick-or-treating, unlike our neighborhood last year which I didn't even like going outside after dark. I can never buy that much candy again because I got some bad headaches from the leftovers I inhaled. All in all a good Halloween though!!
