Day after Christmas

What a nice Christmas! The girls heard Santa on Christmas Eve and could barely go to sleep. Ava, the nightowl, got up at 1 a.m. and came down announcing what Santa had left by the tree. I made her get in bed and go back to sleep. We made it until 8 a.m. The girls were very happy and excited with their goodies. We pretended to be amazed that they received anything because they aren't the best listeners in the world. We spent the day with my parents and had a wonderful dinner and great desserts. We had to take the dogs which was the only annoying part of the day! Needless to say, I was exhausted when we got home but we were able to clean out the toy bins to hold all the new toys.

I am feeling Sawyer and Finn wiggling a lot more. I'll be happy when the girls can put their hands on my tummy and feel them. I think it'll make a little more sense then. Ava makes sure I am wearing my pregnant shirt and pregnant pants before I go anywhere. Jaylen told me she is going to sing lullaby's and rock the babies when they get here. I really hope they will be the best helpers ever. That will make life much easier.

I go to the dr. next week! I'll keep you posted til then.

Level II Ultrasound

Everything is PERFECT! The boys are measuring only 1 ounce apart which is perfect, the brain, spine, legs, arms, tummies, bladders, hearts, wee-wee's, and everything in between are measuring exact! There is plenty of fluid in both of their sacks. They said that they don't suspect identical twins but sometimes identical twins can come from 2 separate sacs with 2 different placenta's and that we really wouldn't be able to tell until they are 6 months old. I'm so glad Peter got to see both of their "purinas" (that's what the girls call a penis). Now he knows for sure that both are boys. I've downloaded some of the photos for your viewing pleasure!

Ava the adorable!

First, everything is great with the pregnancy except headaches and backaches. That's to be expected.

We went to the grocery store as a family yesterday and everyone we passed in the aisle, Ava announced to them that her mommy was having 2 baby boys and that their names are Sawyer and Finn. She was so proud and excited, it made me feel happy all over! So very, very cute!

Tonight is the first night of Hanukkah and the girls are excited about being able to open one of their gifts. They said that after they open those, then Santa will come.

I'm trying to figure out a way to get to the movies to see Twilight since I've finished the books and am wanting more.

My friend Jess was able to bring her baby home without the need for surgery! YIPPEE!! They will check him again in a couple of weeks and they will determine then if he will even need surgery. I hope everything straightens out on it's on - 85% of the time, it does.

I go to the Women's Institute on Tuesday morning and will post again then.
