So Happy!...

Wow! I went from being able to feel the babies every couple of days to all of the sudden this week, it's been everyday and it's been wonderful! It started on Sunday when we were in church, I noticed lots of movement, not during the singing, which is what you would think, but during the pastor talking. And now it's been everyday that I have felt them several times a day! AND....today...I felt little lilly move from the outside with my hand! That is the very first time and now I hope she does it again so I can get home and put Brad's hands on my belly for him to feel! I noticed after lunch they were really getting active and I felt a couple of big thumps so I put my hand where she is and there she went again! It was so amazing. There were other people in the room with me eating and talking and here I am laughing to myself and smiling really big! They probably thought I was crazy. Anyway....just wanted to share that moment with you all. I go back to the Dr. Oct. 23rd and I'll take another belly picture then as well!! Take care-

Love
Amy

You may not be able to tell it's bigger...but WE CAN!

Well....here it is folks...my 20 wk belly picture. I am really enjoying being pregnant...have only had 1 case of this heartburn stuff I always hear about during pregnancy. By the way, that is really painful, I had no idea!! I can feel them usually after I eat, especially after supper at night. Lilly had some really good movements the other night, I knew it was her because it was really low and she is the one on the bottom. We hope you all have a good weekend...we are going to do a little more work on the nursery so hopefully I'll have more pics to post.

Love to you all!

half way....

Wow! 20 weeks today, we just can't believe it. I am starting to feel the babies more which is very excited. Can't wait until Brad can put his hand on my belly and feel them too and neither can he. Check back this weekend or Monday and I will post my 20 wk belly picture!

Love,
the happy mommy!!

saw the Dr. today

Just a quick update on our Dr. appt. today. We had an ultrasound last week but didn't see the Dr. so we went back today for our reg. appt. and saw him. We heard the heartbeats, that is always fun!! Everything is going really well. I can't believe I only have about 20 more weeks to go! (give or take a few since it's twins) We did find out that Oct. 28th (which is my baby shower in Indiana) will be the last trip we can make before the babies are born, no going home for the holidays which will be really different for us since we spend Thanksgiving and Christmas in Indiana! We are going to look into birthing classes next month and are excited to see what that is all about and to get the tour of the hospital. Stay tuned....

Love,

Brad and Amy

(P.S. that is not a recent picture of me! a new belly pic will be coming by this Friday!!)

I had an ultrasound scheduled for the 18th but I went yesterday (Wednesday) instead. Everything is great! Their growth is right at 19 weeks (what I am today, wow!) They both weigh 11 ounces and were moving like crazy, although I'm still not feeling it all that much, but I do feel some. She was able to get a good profile pic of each of them so as soon as I get them scanned to be able to put them on this blog page you can see how cute they are! We could see their tiny noses and lips, CUTE!! Oh and one of the first questions I asked was, "is one still a girl"? Just because she couldn't tell as well as she could the boy last time, so I had these thoughts of going back in and her saying, "well you have two boys"! That would have been quite the shock! So since it was confirmed again I will go ahead and share the names with those of you who haven't yet heard. Baby girl is Lilly Emma Daisy and baby boy is Asher James Vincent. (we'll be calling them Lilly and Asher). Daisy is my grandmother and James is one of Brad's grandfathers and Vincent is the other. I have also posted a picture of two little onsies we couldn't resist buying...daddy can't wait to put the babies in them, you will see why! Love to you all, thanks again for all the prayers being lifted up for us.

the growing belly...

Well, I think my the last picture of my belly was at 11 wks...this one is 17 wks... almost half way there! We are doing good, I am feeling better and only get sick feeling every once in a while. I'm starting to feel them move a little bit. Just tiny flutters and flip/flop feelings. I love it! I really want to feel them even more. Our next ultrasound is Sept. 18th so hopefully I'll have more ultrasound pics. There is also a picture of our changing table and crib, we got the bedding for it already, no mattress yet, but of course I couldn't wait to put the bedding on to see what it looked like! Love to you all!!

It's me, with the baby(ies) update. We just got back from the Dr. Had an ultrasound this morning, the babies look great! Their growth is right at 16 weeks, which is what I will be this Thurs! They are moving and have strong heart beats, although I haven't felt them yet, the Dr. said it will be anytime. (I can't wait!!) Well...we also found out if we can start looking at blue stuff or pink stuff! We are very excited to share with you that we are having a ..............................baby GIRL and a ...........................baby BOY!!! We are so overwhelmed and excited! You could really tell baby "B" was a boy, there was no question! And there wasn't anything to indicate on the other baby (baby "A") that it was a boy, like on baby "B". The lady that did our ultrasound said she thought it was pretty safe to tell everyone it is a girl. The babies are still on top of one another like bunk beds and are facing opposite directions. it was so cute. Here is my 11 week picture a little late! We couldn't be happier!!!

2nd ultrasound and my did they look different!

Hi everyone!! It's the excited parents to be!! The babies are starting to look more and more like babies then little beans! Actually we couldn't believe how much they had grown and turned into these tiny beings with arms and legs. Everything is coming along just fine, they are growing and have strong heartbeats. Yesterday was amazing...the ultrasound tech was showing us the heartbeats and both babies were still. Then all of the sudden the baby that is on bottom (they are on top of one another like bunkbeds!) started moving like crazy! Brad and I could not stop giggling. It was the absolute coolest thing I have ever seen. So since the bottom baby started moving and stretching, that made the top baby start moving. It really was an incredible site to see. We were not expecting to see them move! I love them so much!

Love to you all,

Brad and Amy
