20 week anatomy scan

 The whole crew was in the room for the ultrasound! Tim, Me, S. , caden, Kaitlyn and Conner! The doc could care less! He did the ultrasound! He took his time measuring everything on both babies! They both looked and sounded great! Ms. S can feel them moving in her. Not crazy yet but fluttering around in there! During the ultrasound they  were both kicking and punching. I can't imagine in 10 more weeks what it will feel like. I had a perma grin on my face the entire time. I LOVE hearing their hearts beat! 136 and 140 bpm

 Lunch out before we left for the airport! Actually after lunch our family headed over to Babies R Us! The kids were going crazy in there! They have big plans for these two!

voices and ears

The babies ears are formed so they can hear voices and sounds now. That is hard for me since they don't hear our voices everyday! I would give so much for these babies to be growing in me but I came to understand that we are so fortunate to be able to have these babies! They are miracles! We are so blessed to have these two beautiful babies growing regardless of how they grow! Ms. S is a blessing as well. God has brought her and her family into our lives! This book is one of those recording ones. The kids alternated recording reading their voices so that Ms. S can play it for our babies!

kid fun

 Our kids LOVE Ms. S and Mr. R's kids! They had so much fun with them. Hopefully we can visit when the kids don't have school! Kaitlyn didn't want anything to do with us.....she just wanted to be with the kids!

 Caden took a liking to Conner!

 The 3rd graders.......

Texas!!

 We made it to Texas!! Can you tell? We need to get a couple hats before this journey is over!  Conner LOVED this place because it was full of Duck Dynasty stuff!

Mangos and Valentines

 Yepper its Valentines Day and we are celebrating our two beauties and the two beauties that are growing. V day they turned 19 weeks!!  They are the size of mangos! We LOVE mangos!

 These silly kids love to do this poise! I think it isn't Grandmas favorite poise but she has been putting up with it along with us! They love it!

 Check out this week's belly shot!

 S was very sweet and sent us this below picture! I love that she is always thinking of great things for us and the babies! I can't believe in less than a week we will be there for our 20 week anatomy scan! 20 weeks!!!! So very exciting! Now I really can't wait for 30 weeks! This is all so fun! I think after this appointment it will feel even more real and maybe I will start collecting hand me downs for people and start getting the nursery ready!! I think it is so fun! The kids can't wait to go and buy clothes for them! We were shopping today and we really had to hold back and get out of the baby section as quickly as possible! We made it! That in itself is impressive!

Do you see the inscription on the bookcase behind S in the above picture? Love it!! Every good and perfect gift is from above! How true is that?!!!!

celebrating

 thousands of miles apart but we are both celebrating the start of week 18! This is feeling so real for me with each passing day! I am sure S's belly feels real to her as well! Our babies are the size of bell peppers! Of course in this pic the peppers look huge! S is doing great! Somehow despite carrying twins and having a large family of her own, she is like the energizer bunny! Thanks for all you are doing for us S! Here is to a great week 18!!!!!

17 weeks and pears

So the kids love to do this poise. I am guessing that each week they will insist on this poise so guess I will just get use to it! Our babies are the size of pears this week. Amazing right??!!!! Truly blessed! Yes indeed!!! Can't wait ....three more weeks and we as a family get to listen to 2 little heartbeats together! SOOO very exciting! I must keep busy so it will go by faster!

 Check out this weeks bump picture! Pretty amazing right? S seems to me doing well. She is not a complainer by any means! She is doing such a great job with these babies!
