I Stole This....

from Lacie's blog. It's my adorable little man with his cute cousin Callie. He is getting practice being a big brother....he sooooo wants a baby sister! Keep your fingers crossed (and a few toes wouldn't hurt either) that we can find out on Friday!

Well, Shucks, Since You Asked

Seems there are those who would like a few more details on our little apples (I found a website that compares the size of your baby to produce..I am a very visual person so this is much more helpful then centimeters or even inches!). I am happy to provide you with what we know....

-I am in my 15th week.
-Little fuzzy on the exact due date. If it were a single, it would be February 16th
but I will go about 5-6 weeks before. I am going to have a C-section (hopefully scheduled) and I know that doctor does them on Monday. So by my calculation, we are having them on 1/10/11 (I know, I tried for 1/11/11 but it probably won't work). My goal is to get to 35 weeks.
-I have thus far only barfed once! But I do frequently get queasy, especially if I am overly tired and/or hot.
-My b**bs hurt like nobodies b**by business!
-I am tired pretty much all the time. At work, I take little naps in one of the witness rooms. They have graciously given me my own key! Thanks Judge Stewart!!!
-We don't know the genders. I have an appointment next week, and am hoping they will be feeling particularly show offity. If not, looks like I will have to wait.
-I am a dummy! I get an ultra sound every time I go to the doctor, but keep forgetting to ask for pictures!!!
-We found out we are pregnant on Flag Day (June 14). So we are feeling more than a little patriotic ;)
-We found out it was twins about a week and a half later when I had a little scary emergency...turned out to be a happy occasion very quickly (as soon as we picked Lonny up off the floor)
-We told our family on Father's Day. We let Connor announce it.
-Connor wants a girl, preferably two.
-Mommy would like one of each.
-But really, Mommy is so happy she does not care.
-We are in complete denial about how our lives will be turned upside down.
-I am totally trying to take things one day at a time....we need lots of prayers because we have a long way to go. This has been a difficult, yet exciting journey. And I am just trying to move slowly and enjoy it!
-We are beyond joy.
-We welcome any other questions!!

We are so thankful to Heavenly Father - and everyone who has been praying for us (even when you didn't know what you were praying for!!!)

Double Vision

Lately, I have had twins on my mind....

Minnesota Twins....

Twin Falls.....

Twins in My Tummy!

SURPRISE!! We are pregnant with TWINS!!!

As I am sure you can imagine, we are over the moon!!

Due in January. We just saw them on Tuesday and everyone is doing well. Please keep us in your prayers that I will have a safe and healthy pregnancy and delivery. And that I won't outgrow the house!!!

Another Adoption Miracle!!!

So excited for the cute Holmberg family, Jared, Chris and Gavin. They have welcomed a beautiful little boy into their hearts and lives through adoption!! Emmett Adam Holmberg was born yesterday at 11:34 and weighed in 7 lbs, 8 oz and 20 inches long. He is sooooo sweet! Please keep them in your prayers. Emmett does have a little pneumonia and will have to be kept in the hospital while they work that out. Also, just prayers and good thoughts that the process will go smoothly as they adjust to being new parents again, and for the birth family - who always need lots of prayers at times like these. I cannot express how happy I am for this darling family....this has been a long road for them and to know they have this little blessing in their lives makes my heart want to burst! CONGRATULATIONS!!!!!
