Stephanie is doing awesome! She is a wonder woman! She has a large family herself and somehow she finds time to do it all! When I stay at her house I am amazed how well the house runs! Big families are fun! She sent me this picture the other day! Our babies are taking up a lot of room in there! At only 16 1/2 weeks, I can't imagine in another 20! I am starting to want to get the nursery ready and all that fun stuff! 

You might be able to see the little bruises on S's belly! She has put up with tons of needles to get pregnant and to stay pregnant! We are so thankful for all S and her family are doing for us! God has blessed us beyond measure!

Thank you Aunt Rachel and Uncle Mark!!

I unwrapped these blankets and quick wrapped them back because I wanted a picture! I couldn't put it back together as well as Rachel did but i wanted to remember it! Love them!

 Kaitlyn and Conner also received a special gift as well! We were playing this game at the kitchen table this am before church! I think I have more hot air than they do! I obviously beat them! :0)

Avocado

Each of our babies are the size of a avocado! Can you see it in Conner's hand? They came up with this poise!! Have I told you how excited these two are?

week 16

I was able to go down to TX for another appointment! Yippee! So blessed that I can do that! I know with C I made EVERY single appointment. I don't think this will happen with these two! actually I have already missed a few but I have been able to facetime, oovoo or  phone calls during the ones I have missed!  It is more difficult now that I have two kids in school however I am just glad I can make the ones I do! So I met the new OB and he is really cool! He has worked with other surrogates and is ok with trying to deliver them vaginally if they are in a good position. So Stephanie's little boy, C, is yelling at the babies to come out and we are trying to just get him to yell at them "heads down!" Oh and maybe read them a book or two! 

 Check out this cool shirt Stephanie bought! I am sure she will get a lot of comments on this! Love it! I told her she needs to Get her hubby one that says "they aren't mine!" haha or hers for that matter

 Check out the belly! LOVE it!  So at the ultrasound appointment the doc says he is 80+% sure on the sexes of the babies. I'm pretty sure I know for sure one of them but 80% on the other! So mums the word until the big anatomy scan! I would rather know they are healthy than their sexes! Bonus the doc looked around at several things and reassured me on a bunch of stuff so that makes me so relieved! Prayers will continue to be coveted!

Wowser!!

 Yep we are at 15 weeks! Crazy huh? Seems like forever as we wait and wait! God is good and in control so we basically lay it in His hands to watch over Stephanie and the babies! So excited to go down next week for a check up and ultrasound. It is always such a quick visit with Stephanie living so far away from us and so many commitments at home! So blessed to go as much as I get to! Did I tell you we are all going down next month for the big 20 week appointment. The kids have winter break so it worked out perfect! K will be in heaven playing with her newest girl friends!

14 weeks strong

Isn't this belly a beautiful sight? I love it! Can't wait to see what it looks like in another 20 weeks!!
