Few pics from Indiana shower on Oct. 28th..

First of all, HAPPY HALLOWEEN!! I can't believe it's October 31st. I had my first shower this past saturday in Indiana with family and friends. It was great! There was about 30 people there. My sisters and mom did a great job with the shower and I appreciated it so much. We got lots of wonderful gifts! I opened gifts while Brad entertained everyone being the funny guy he is!We were so excited to get back home to TN on Sunday to look thru everything again, I couldn't believe our living room was full of baby stuff that was ours!

We also start our first birthing class tonight and are so excited to see what that is all about. I do know we'll get a tour of the hospital which I am looking forward to. Well, that's all for now...I will be posting more pictures from the shower so keep checking!! Love to you all!

25 weeks Thursday...

tomorrow i'll be 25 weeks. i can't wait to hold these precious babies and kiss their little heads but at the same time i can't imagine not having them in my belly moving around and making me smile. i have heard that some women miss that and now that they have started moving more and more i can for sure see why. i can't even put into words how i feel about these babies and how both are so precious to me. my baby boy that i talk to everyday and wonder if he will look like his daddy. my sweet baby girl i talk to everyday and wonder if she will have mommy's eyes. they have already brought such incredible joy to our lives and just knowing that joy will increase even more when they arrive. we had a Dr. appt. on Monday and everything went just wonderfully. The Dr. said the babies are doing so great! as far as growth -baby asher weights 1 lb. 12 ounces and little miss lilly weighs 1 lb. 10 ounces. so baby brother is just a tad bigger, which is so sweet, my mom said you can for sure tell who is boss though on the ultrasound pictures lilly has her feet all in his face just stretching out as much as she pleases! it was so cute. right now lilly is head down which the Dr. said is good and asher is not quite there yet, but he said that was ok and normal for now. Talk of a c-section did come up and we'll discuss it further at our next appt. in two weeks. (i start going every two weeks now! yipeeeee!) If i do have one, he takes twins 3 weeks earlier then the due date which would mean them being here around jan. 20th give or take a few days. I will try and get my 25 week belly picture up tomorrow. I will be seeing some of you this saturday at my first shower in indiana! I will also get some pictures up of the nursery soon. love to you all

23 weeks today...

See how fast a week goes by! You know I was just thinking about how I can't believe I'm pregnant, I can't believe when I look in the mirror, that is me I am seeing with a big belly full of babies! It took so long that I'll admit sometimes it seemed like a dream that was so out of reach for Brad and I. It was such a hard hard thing to go thru and I'm so thankful God was with us every step of the way even though sometimes It didn't feel like it. He brought us thru so much and gave us this huge blessing, my joy is so real.

22 wk pictures...

Boy I sure didn't realize how much I had grown in just two weeks until we took these pictures and looked at my 20 wk pictures! I needed to feel pretty with how big my belly is getting so we took some fancier belly pics this time! haha! We still need to take some pictures of the two of us together in the coming weeks. And yes that is my belly button starting to pop out already, that just started so I'm trying to get used to that. ...Still loving being pregnant!! We did lots of work on the nursery this weekend so I will get some pictures up of that. Our next appt. and ultrasound pics will be Oct. 23rd. We can't wait to see them again and how much they have changed and grown. Love to you all!!

some pics we took this weekend...

22 weeks today!

aaahhhh.....I love how I am getting comments now like..."you must be due any day"! and..."are you about to go anytime?"....and how my belly was already bigger then the girl I talked to in Target the other day who was already 7 1/2 months! Just how big is this thing gonna get? But I am loving every minute of it! Brad and I are going to try and take lots of pictures this weekend since it's gonna be so nice outside, we'll venture outdoors for the next belly pictures!... so check back on Monday to see what we come up with!

Love to you...

Daddy felt a baby...

Well we have been trying to put Brad's hand on my belly for about the past week to see if he could feel anything and nothing...until last night! He was able to feel "a" baby twice!! Not sure which one it was because it was right in the middle so it could have been either. He felt 2 thumps! I will never forget the look on his face either. I was laying on the couch and feeling really good movements so I told him to hurry up and come over. It only took a few seconds for one to move again, it was so sweet. It was so special for both of us and we'll never forget it. I could tell he felt such a connection that was much more real since being able to feel one. These babies are going to love their daddy so much!!
