SURPRISE!

We had a pretty big surprise yesterday to find out the we are actually having twin BOYS!!! Right as the ultrasound began I saw that "baby B" who was supposed to be a girl, was most definetly a boy. The sonographer said, they probably just labeled them opposite at my previous ultrasound. Sure enough she headed over to take a peak at "baby A" and he was most definetly a boy as well! We just started laughing thinking of all of the fun and memories 3 boys are going to bring us. Even though it was a big surprise, it's perfect! We are so happy, and can't wait to meet these little guys.

I'm 18.5 weeks along and finally starting to feel better. And it's showing quick, I went from not gaining a pound to gaining 8 pounds in 4 weeks-yikes! But it feels so good to have an appetite, and have enough energy to care that the garbages are overflowing, the dust has grown a family, I haven't showered in 3 days...you get the picture! It wasn't pretty, but we're slowly sifting our way out of the mess, and it feels great!

we couldn't be more excited!!!

some blessings come in twos

When you have a child who is as adorable and fun as this... who wouldn't want another one, or two?

That's right, Chase is going to be a big brother, twice....we're having TWINS! We are beyond excited. We just had another ultrasound yesterday and they both looked perfect jumping all over the place, and continue to look healthy and strong. I'm in love. I never thought I could possibly love another human in the way I do Chase, but when I was watching them yesterday I felt my heart grow.

I am officially 12 weeks along. We are due in December, and hoping to make it to around the 10th. I have been super sick, super tired, and maybe a little bit cranky! But it is all worth it, all of it.

I can honestly say we could not have done it without these 3 women. We have to travel a long road to become pregnant, and they so willingingly made the sacrifice to come out and take over for me while I was unable. I cannot express how grateful I am to all of them.

Thank you for making the long road seem a little shorter, and the hard times seem a little easier- xox

Utah

Our trip home to Utah flew by! We had a great week visiting our favorite state, and all of our favorite people who live there. We spent most of our time hanging out with our families. We stayed busy by going to museums, the zoo, playing on tractors, learning how to feed chickens and getting their eggs, and playing a lot with cousins! Best of all, we were able to celebrate Chase's 2nd birthday a couple of days early with the family. My sisters made Chase's super cute beach ball cake, and then we all went swimming! Chase had such a great time, and it was really special for us to celebrate our little man turning 2 with our FAMILY!

Thanks for all of the fun, and all of the memories. We miss you already!

happy birthday

Today I turned 2 years old! My mommy and daddy think I'm pretty much the greatest thing....ever. So they wanted to share some pictures of my big day!

getting ready to dig in....

Mmmmm

My mommy & daddy know how much I love trucks and cars. So they got me a new car, a truck puzzle, and a book all about trucks!

Thank you VB's for my fish tent! I love it, and my mommy & daddy love that it makes my hair stick up.

Today was a great day!

home sweet home

We're coming home.....TOMORROW!!!!!!

Here is one last picture of the little man before all of you in Utah get to see him and squeeze him in person! There aren't many things that make me smile at 6:30am, but seeing this sure did! Thanks for giving me so many reasons to smile, little one.
