My expanding belly

Please forgive me, but we stopped taking "belly pics" at around 9 weeks along. It was not on purpose, it was simply the fact that school started back so Nick & I are hardly ever home at the same time. Here are a few more up-dated pics since I saw a bunch of people at Thanksgiving & they were a little shocked to see how round my belly has gotten....they were picturing me at the 6-8 week pics. Ha ha!!!

20 weeks along

I didn't cry when Nick proposed to me, I didn't cry at our wedding, but I cried when I had to say good-bye to my Z28! It was a really hard decision, but obviously it isn't a family friendly car. Now Nick & I have the Jeep to shove the kiddos in and also a V-8 Nissan Titan truck. It has 4 doors so it should provide plenty of room for the twins and is much nicer to travel in. I think even Marley & Gage would tell you that! We drove the Titan to IN for Thanksgiving & I have no clue how we did that drive w/dogs, luggage, and often Christmas presents when all we had was the tiny Jeep. I have only had the truck for 6 weeks & I'm already spoiled from it!

22 weeks along

23 weeks along

I went back to my regular doctor today. My blood pressure was normal, thankfully. Baby A's (girl) heart rate was 156 and Baby B's (boy) heart rate was 144. He is still breeched, but hoping that will change soon. We go back to the MFM (specialist) on Dec. 28th so we'll get some new ultra-sound pics then too! My Dr. released me to fly to IN Saturday for our last baby shower, so I'm looking forward to the short 1 1/2 flight, but hate that Nick will have to make the long drive alone next week. Marley & Gage will keep him occupied though.

Here is a picture of Marley & Gage "saying good-bye" to the Z as well.

~March is baby Madness~

Well, I must say that March is the month to be having babies! Shortly after Nick & I found out we were expecting, we also found out that 3 wives to 3 of my high school classmates are also expecting their 1st in March, along with 2 of my MED co-hort friends. I'm not exactly sure of all the "due dates" but I know the following are expecting in March: from WRV high school- my cousin Broc's wife, Sara; Biltz's wife, Heather; and Buckley's wife, Bri. From my MED- Tara H. and Abbie M. (who is expecting twin girls)! So counting our set of twins, that would be a total of 8 March babies! I wish everyone the best of luck preparing for their little bundles of joy and I cannot wait to meet the little ones. Abbie, Tara, & I got together one evening after work to take belly pictures for our MED baby shower/reunion. I thought I would share with you a picture or two of the 3 of us- we took them downtown at Reedy River Falls (we range from 23 weeks to 20 weeks prego). The dads-to-be were our great photographers.
