Well it has been a long time since I have blogged. I am really bad at this! But if you didn't already know we are pregnant with twins! Tim and I have become doubly blessed. We couldn't be more excited. I am currently 18 weeks 5 days and I am feeling them move around like crazy. I had my monthly doctor check up today. My uterus is still measuring a month ahead because of the twins and I am continuing to gain weight. Although I don't feel like the dreadful number on the scale. I figure this is the only time in my life I will weigh that and just make that a goal. I was able to listen to both heart beats today. The one on the left today was at 140 and the one at the right was 165. I love every time I can hear that but the ultra sounds are more fun and it has been almost 6 weeks since the last one. Next week will be the BIG one. The anatomy scan aka gender reveal! The appointment is an hour and a half. I am really, really looking forward to staring at my babies for that long. Although, I think they have to do an internal ultrasound at some point during this one to measure my cervix. Ick. I hate those. They are so uncomfortable! Then Labor Day Tim and I will be doing our gender reveal party! We will be having close friends and family over to tell them all at once. I am really excited about this and hope I am able to keep a secret for a few days! My wonderful friend Nicole is going to make the cake. She is an amazing cook/baker! I am excited to see what she comes up with. I also can't wait to start registering and start shopping for these little ones.
Now if that wasn't enough, we also bought a house recently. Back in Gilbert! haha. Our goal was to move closer into town so we would be close to my mom. Well then we got the bright idea of living together. So that's when the home search started. Wow that was an ordeal. I am so happy that we wont be doing that again. We found a 5 bedroom tri level home in Gilbert. We love it! My mom has her own wing to the house. (2 beds, 1 bath and a living room), then we just share the main level with the dining room and kitchen. Did I mention the house has a pool!? Something I have always wanted. I am so excited once its fixed to finally use it because my OB said that is the best thing for pregnancy.
I have to say after having a horrible 2011; 2012 is turning out to be THE MOST FANTASTIC year! Who knows maybe the twins will arrive this year as well. ;) Twins are always born early. Oh and did I mention football officially starts soon! WOOHOO
Until next time,
xoxo,
