Twins Update

So the latest news in the baby depot is things are going pretty good. I've going to the doc every two weeks and I have to go to the hospital twice a week now for stress-tests to make sure everything is looking good witht their hearts. The last stress test was kind of fun, Ashton is always moving and Addy doesn't move as much (sometimes I panic!!). Anyway she wouldn't move so they kind of shock her with this thing that makes a loud noise to like startle her so she'll move. It was funny because it really got her going. She didn't like being woke up. Hopefully that is a sign she'll be mellow when she gets here!! I had a doctor's appointment the same day to have another ultrasound to see how they are growing. Ashton weighed in at approx. 4 LBS and Addy is at 3 Lbs. 8 Oz. so they have both gotten bigger which is a good thing. At first the doc thought Addy was still really small and was saying I was going to go have all these tests to see how nutrients were flowing through the umbilical cord and I don't even know what else. I got way worried and then she ended up being bigger than he thought. My blood pressure is starting to get high which means that I probably won't go to term, but other than that we're all healthy and well other than some sore ribs, thanks to Addy.

We've finally got the nurseries almost done. Cribs and dressers are all up and I'm just waiting on Ashton's bedding to come and then I will post pictures of their rooms. It has been so much fun. These two are going to be so spoiled! Hopefully we can keep inside for a few more weeks so they can get a little bigger!

Our House

I forgot about this other bit of exciting news, our house is finished!!! We are closing tomorrow. I can't believe how fast it has gone, it' so crazy. I can't wait to live there, I just don't to move all our stuff. Check out the pictures as it was built. We tried to keep up with the progress but these people aren't playing around when it comes to building houses!

Exciting News

Well, as usual it has been a while since I've updated this blog but what can I say I'm not very good at this whole blogging thing. Anyway, we have been doing lots of fun things the last little while. For starters, we went to Pheonix with Ty and Whitney for a fun and relaxing vacation, probably our last for a very long time!! We went to a baseball and basketball game, swam in the pool a bunch and mostly just relaxed. Check out some of the pictures and please excuse my ever-growing belly!

Ha Ha!! I was bad at golf before the belly, just imagine me golfing now!!





The next fun and exciting thing we got to do was go see WICKED up at Capitol Theater. It was so much fun and the show was way funny. I loved the music and I think Jess even enjoyed it too.



After that, it's on to graduation. That's right I graduated from college!! It was way exciting. It's kind of one of those things that you think will never actually happen but it did. I even went to convocation; cap and gown and everything. The gown almost hid the belly but not quite. It's pretty cool because I'm part of the first graduating class to graduate from UVU. Anyway it was a great day and I'm going to miss all my friends from school.





And last but definitley least we had another doctor's appointment and ultrasound of our babies. It is so awesome to get to have more than one ultrasound and to see my babies in real life, sort of. Last time my doctor wasn't for sure positive that we had a girl in there too and this time we were able to tell for sure. He also did some measurements to make sure they are growing properly and believe it or not Ashton is over half a pound bigger that Addyson. He was weighing in at approx. 3 Lb. 3 Oz. and Addyson at 2 Lbs. 8 Oz. Ashton is hogging all the food from Addyson!! He said that right now the difference in their weight isn't something to be concerned about but if it gets more significant it could be a problem. Other than that, everything was normal and we are getting closer and closer to their arrival!! We are so excited for these two babies even though it' still hard to believe.

You'll be surprised to know you're having...TWINS

Well it has been a way long time since I've posted but student teaching has kept me sooo busy. I have completed my ten weeks and am just chilling until graduation in May. Student teaching was so fun and I was so sad to leave my class.

The biggest event that has happened since my last post was that we found out we are having TWINS!! We went in for our ultrasound and got the most shocking news ever. I was so shocked I asked my doctor if he was sure at least three times. Anyway, we are having a girl and boy and we are so excited now that the shock has worn off in the last month. I am so excited for little Addyson and Ashton to get here just as long as they are healthy. Here is a picture of our twins if you can see anything.



We are also building a house that is supposed to be done May 18th so here are some pictures of the house so far.

Catch Up Time...

Well I started out with good intentions but I hae been slacking. It was so busy for a couple week with finals and getting ready for Christmas, but it's all over now and time to get back to work. We had a wonderful Christmas and it was so much fun to get to spend so much time with our families and friends.
Jess got me some great presents and I got him a Wii Fit which I still don't know if he likes it. It is still in the box!! We had a great time going to movies and just spending time together before he had to go back to work.

I got to go to my second doctors appointment on the 2nd. I got to hear our baby's heartbeat for the first time which was so amazing to realize that there really is a baby in there. I asked my doctor if it was a girl heartbeat or a boy heartbeat. Jesse wants a boy so bad and don't really care but I would love to have a girl. Well, he said it was definitely a little girl heartbeat. We'll get to find out for sure in a couple more months.

I get to start my student teaching next Monday and I'm getting so excited and nervous. I have so much I need to do to get ready for it. I can't believe I'm so close to being done. It will be so great to get our school finished. Whew we have been busy but life couldn't get much better!!

New Blog!

Hey everybody, so I finally got our blog up and going, the tricky part will be to actually stick with it and not forget to blog. I'm going to try really hard! Anyway, I'm sitting here at my computer and watching it snow for the first time in forever and I'm loving it. It just put me in the Christmas spirit to finally see some snow on the ground, I hope we get lots more!! I finally got my Christmas tree put up and all my decorations and our house looks so great. I really do love this time of year with all the decorations and get togethers with friends and family. I am so excited and can't wait for school to be out so I can really start enjoying this time of year.
