Baby #3 & #4: 37 Weeks

Well babies, the time has finally arrived. We meet you TOMORROW. Seriously, when did that happen? We've been waiting for this day for so long, and now that it's finally here, I have so many emotions about all that is about to happen.

In fact, as I'm typing this, one of you is just kicking away and the other is rolling around. It brings me back to the night I wrote my last blog post for your older sister Madison. She too was moving all around as I tried to get my thoughts down to paper ---er computer screen. I think one of the biggest things on my chest tonight is your siblings Madison and Ian.

I think about how different their birth stories were than yours will be. We knew Ian was gone when we went to the hospital to delivery him. And although Maddie was still alive when we arrived at the hospital, by the time she was delivered she was already gone as well. Our emotions on both of those trips to the hospital were of sadness, grief, longing, and anger. But tomorrow. Tomorrow we will feel excitement, joy, happiness, and all things good.

And I can't lie, part of me feels bad that I get to feel all those things with the two of you and I didn't with your siblings. My biggest fear is that once you guys are here, Madison and Ian will slowly move to the back burner. Slowly be forgotten. Slowly become an afterthought in our journey through this crazy life. So when you hear me talk to you about them for the thousandth time in a day, please know that that is why. I don't ever want to forget them, so I'm going to do my best to talk about them as much as I can. I know you guys will be ok with that.

As I sit here thinking about tomorrow, I'm overjoyed with the love I know I'll feel towards you both the moment I see you. But I'm also slightly terrified that as of 7:30 tomorrow morning, your daddy and I's lives will be changed forever. It's no longer just the two of us, but now the four of us. We can't drop everything on a dime and go out to eat with friends. We can't stay up all night enjoying a few too many adult beverages and be able to sleep in as much as we want the next morning. We can't be as frivolous with our extra cash flow (but that won't stop us from travelling, we love that too much!).

Boy oh boy though, I get excited thinking about what we will be able to do. We will get to watch you grow up. We will get to kiss your boo-boos, snuggle up with you, hear your laughter, and mediate your fights. And you get to grow up with a built in best friend. What could be better than that?

Babies, you are so loved, so wanted, and so prayed for. Tomorrow our world will change forever, and yours will start. And we will be here for every step of your journey. Mommy and Daddy love you both forever and ever.

_____________________________________________




Whew, and now that I got that off my chest, let's move on to my 37 week update! I honestly can't believe it's finally go time, and we've been busy busy at our house with final preparations for the babies.

We finally got the car seats installed in the van. Eric wanted to wait until we were in the hospital to put them in one day, but I convinced him to do them this week. In a few days there will be precious cargo in those seats!

I did a little pampering on myself last Saturday by getting a pedicure with Ashley. It was so nice to soak my feet and let someone get my toes and feet labor ready. And the conversation was on point as well. Time with my best friends is always a good thing.

This week at work I did lots of last minute things getting ready for my departure. Hopefully they can manage without me there (I totally know they can, but it's still nice to feel like I'm needed ha!).

I made it out to my studio and laid out everything I want to use for babies' newborn pictures! I think I might be crazy for thinking I can do them myself, but I'm gonna try. Luckily Eric knows how to handle my camera so he can help me out. And I'm not putting a time constraint on them and will probably only do a pose or so a day. We'll find out how things go soon!

Wednesday I had my last ultrasound and doctor's appointment. I got to see the babes one last time on the ultrasound screen, and baby boy was even showing off his cute little face! I mean look at those cheeks and lips! They didn't do any weight measurements, but his little heartbeat was at 137 beats per minute.



And while baby girl is usually my show-off, she wasn't really having it that afternoon. She kept her hands up by her face (which totally reminds me of Madison), and her cord was hanging out by her nose the whole ultrasound as well. We got one 3D picture, and I think she looks so ticked off that we are trying to get a picture of her! Her heartbeat came in at 141 beats per minute.


Tonight (Thursday) we are taking care of all the last minute cleaning things- washing all the dishes, doing all the laundry, tidying up around the house, and finishing the last minute packing. And of course getting our house prepped for the 5 degree weather we are expecting tonight. Sometimes I love living in an old house (I hope you could sense the sarcasm in that statement).


And now for some stats and info I don't want to forget!

  • I gained a total of 32 pounds.
  • My stomach measures 44.5 inches around.
  • My belly button did pop out and I also got the dark line down the slightly to the left center of my stomach.
  • I got 3 stretch marks on my left hip. 
  • Baby's heads were almost always right next to each other and have been on the right side of my body for as long as I can remember.
  • Baby boy has always been squished down at the bottom and baby girl has had all the room she's wanted.
  • Baby girl loves to cram her head up under my right rib cage making me extremely uncomfortable, especially if she does it while I'm driving.
  • Babies really start to get active around 7 in the morning, and they like to move around while I'm singing in the car, especially when it's a song by a male singer.
  • I never really had any cravings or anything crazy like that this pregnancy.
  • My legs and feet were super swollen for a good few weeks around Christmas and the beginning of the year which got me put on 1/2 day bed rest at work.
  • Thankfully the swelling was only bad for about a month or so. I still have some swelling in my thighs and calves, but my ankles are back and I couldn't be happier.
  • Keeping babies' genders a secret until my baby shower was the hardest thing to do- but I am glad we did it. Next baby I don't think we will find out at all!
  • I took photography sessions until the first week in January, and stopped taking newborns in November. It's been a nice break, but I am ready to get back in to them in a few months. 
  • Eric took the most unflattering pictures of me and my belly throughout the entire pregnancy. I do like seeing how my stomach has grown since the beginning, but man oh man some of these photos are BAD. He tells me he's going to make me a photo book of all the pictures, so we will have to see if that actually happens. And then I'm going to hide it so it can never be shown to anyone else. Ever.
  • I've been terrified of losing them both since we found out we were pregnant. Pregnancy after loss is one of the most difficult things I've ever experienced. Which I'm sure will soon be replaced by parent after loss. It's hard to be confident when your body has betrayed you so many times. But thanks to an amazing husband and support team I have been able to stay mostly positive this entire journey. I know that once they are here tomorrow there will be a whole new strain of worries, but at least the ones I've been feeling since June will finally be done and over.
Babies, tomorrow all of our lives will be changed forever. And we can't freaking wait. We love you both so much, see you in a few hours!

Baby #3 and #4: 36 Weeks

Another week down and another week closer to meeting our babies! And it's finally February, which means that it's finally baby month!


Week 35 started off with some nice one on one time with Eric. We ordered out, cuddled on the couch, and watched some movies together. It was so nice to get some time alone with just him (yay for a little break in basketball!), as very soon that will be harder and harder to find. And isn't this picture of him cuddling the babies the cutest thing ever?!


And I got one more thing checked off our baby-ready list- our hospital bag is officially packed (minus our last minute toiletries). Now just to get the car seats officially installed and I think we will have everything ready!

Yesterday I had another doctor's appointment. Baby A had a heartbeat of 134, and Baby B had a heartbeat of 132. A is still breech and B is still transverse- no surprise there. Dr. Haller said that everything was looking great- both babies are practicing breathing in there so that's a really good sign. I gained two pounds this week, putting my total gained up to 32 pounds. and at 36 weeks my belly is measuring 44.5 inches across my belly button (which a little guy at school was totally amazed by today because it's sticking out). I got my group B strep swab done, and Dr. Haller answered all my c-section questions.

I'm not going to lie, I'm really nervous about getting a c-section. There's so much unknown to me about a c-section, and the fact that it's major surgery has my stomach in a few knots. But I do feel more comfortable after talking to her about everything that will happen and how things will go down. The goal is to get these babies here safely, and a c-section is going to ensure that for these two.

Last night we also got together with Eric's sisters for our weekly Bachelor date night. I love these nights with them, even if we sometimes do more talking than actually watching the Bachelor (and having to rewind so that we know what's going on).


I'm so excited for another week with these babies and seeing what we can get done this week!

Baby #3 & #4: 35 Weeks


I'm 35 weeks and can happily say that we've made it! Hitting 35 weeks is a big deal as that means that I get to deliver at St. Anthony's instead of having to deliver at a bigger hospital with a NICU department. This was Eric and I's first major goal we wanted to hit as we got closer to delivery.

What a week week 34 was! The day after hitting 34 weeks, I went in for my Non-Stress Test. I never had any of those with Madison, so I was curious what exactly they were like. It turns out they just strap some heartbeat monitors and a contraction monitor on your belly and leave you alone for 20 minutes. Easy peasy! I will say the babies were not fans of the monitors. As soon as she put the first monitor on, one baby let out a big ol' kick that moved my entire belly ha!

I met with Dr. Haller after that and she said that both babies did very well on the NST and that I wasn't having any contractions, which I didn't think I was yet. Dr. Haller said that at our next appointment (which ended up being on Wednesday this week- so check that out a little farther down) we will start talking about delivery. Exciting stuff!

And just an update on my cold. Friday things were definitely worse. Sooooo many kleenexes are in the trash can ha! Dr. Haller didn't seem too concerned about it at my appointment, so I guess that that's a good thing. I pretty much laid on the couch with my water, gatorade, and kleenexes the rest of the night. By Saturday morning things were looking better, but I still spent most of the day sleeping. Sunday I had some bad ear and throat pain, so off to Urgent Care I went. They thought I might have strep, but thankfully all those tests came back negative. But the feel better train was in full motion and by the end of this week I feel almost totally back to normal, minus a slightly runny nose still.

On my drive home from work Monday, I was in so much pain in my back and right ribs. I could not even make it home without having to get out of my van to walk around and stretch and try to feel better. I was in so much pain that Eric wouldn't let me go to work on Tuesday at all.

Wednesday I had my next OB appointment, and I think that Eric was pretty positive that if I told Dr. Haller what had happened that she would put me on full bed rest. I even brought Everything home from work I would need to finish working from home until the babies got here. But she pretty much told me that I was SOL, and since the babies were so smushed in there together, there would be times I was just in a lot of pain. If you think having one baby under your ribs is painful, try having two!

Both babies are still breech (surprise, surprise), so a c-section is now officially our option of delivery. There's no way either baby has space to turn between now and possibly three weeks from now. Baby A had a heartbeat of 146. He was measuring about the same as he was two weeks ago- 5 pounds 4 ounces. The tech did fully admit that these measurements are not the most accurate, especially since he is so crammed up in there that she wasn't able to get good measurements on everything she needed to get his weight. Baby B had a heartbeat of 161 and was weighing in at 5 pounds 5 ounces. I somehow lost weight between last week and this week- I'm guessing it's more water weight I'm losing as my swelling has really gone down? Right now I'm up a total of about 30 pounds, give or take a few. And since we are getting down to crunch time with only a max of three weeks left, I wanted to record the circumference around my belly. So at 35 weeks my belly is measuring 44 inches!

And I just had to share this picture of a compilation of some ultrasound pictures. Remember when I said that their heads were right next to each other- and both under my right ribs? I have the ultrasound pictures to prove it- starting around 18 weeks! I've decided that they will either always have to be near each other and will love each other so much, or they will be so tired of being right next to the other one that there might be some animosity once they are born. Only time will tell ha!

Baby #3 & #4: 34 Weeks

We just hit 34 weeks, so here's a little recap from all that happened during week 33!


A day after hitting 33 weeks I had my next doctor's appointment. Baby A's heart rate was 144 beats per minute, and Baby B also clocked in a heart rate of 144 beats per minute. Baby A is currently hanging out breech in the bottom right corner of my stomach, nice and squished up in there. The tech said that this makes it extra hard to get precise measurements of the baby, but according to the measurements she did get, Baby A is weighing 5 pounds and 6 oz! And true to how she's been the entire pregnancy, Baby B is now a little more diagonal across my stomach, still breech with her head on the right side, but taking up all the room in my stomach that she wants. She weighed in at 4 pounds 15 ounces.

I lost two pounds since last week, and I'm assuming that that's some water weight that is still shedding from my swelling. Dr. Haller seems impressed with how things are going and has scheduled my next appointment with a Non-Stress Test instead of an ultrasound. I'm not gonna lie, I'm bummed I won't get to see them in our 34th week.

That Sunday we had our niece's (and now officially our Goddaughter's) baptism right after church. Emily did so well, hardly making a peep the whole time!



After her baptism we went back to Dan and Theresa's for some lunch and lounge time and I caught Eric and Emily napping together. I think my heart exploded in that moment. He's such a natural, and to think that in a few weeks (a maximum of 4 to be exact!) he'll be doing this with our babies.


The day of turning 34 weeks I came down with a nasty cold that has had me attached to a kleenex box. So, don't judge how bad I look in this week's picture ha! We will see how that pans out in the next few days!

Baby #3 & #4: 33 Weeks

Well we are getting into crunch time, so I thought it was time to start doing weekly posts until babies get here! We just hit week 33 today, and I have to say that week 32 didn't disappoint.


This past week was full of cover wars with Eric at night. We have so many pillows in our bed now to keep me comfortable at night (which isn't always successful), that our covers seem to barely fit the bed. I roll over and pull the covers towards me, which uncovers Eric. Then he'll roll over and pull the covers towards him, which of course uncovers me. It's a constant battle all night long, especially with how many times I'm up to use the restroom or roll over. I think at this point we should maybe each get our own set of covers so we both stay covered up. It's not like we are cuddling at this point anyways ha!

I also had a repeat trip to Dr. Haller's office for the swelling in my legs again. I noticed a brighter red spot on the side of my calf that seemed warm to the touch, so she had me come in check it out. After looking it over she decided that it wasn't a blood clot and the other calf, though not as red, was just as warm as that side. She pressed her finger into my leg and I don't want to admit how long the indention staying on my leg. She asked if I was still working to which I replied yes. And the very next thing she said was- "Do you wanna know what I think?" Of course I knew what she thought, she wanted me to quit working. But I have SO much to do at work still to finish wrapping up my time there I was able to convince her to only drop me down to half days for the time being. We'll see how long that lasts. For now you can find me either in the morning or late afternoon with my feet up and my bottom on the couch. The things we do for our children!

This week I finally got my Tdap shot and am attending probably my last game of Eric's before the babies arrive (so maybe until next year haha!). I also took off my rings this week, they were getting a little snug, and I wanted to get them off before it got too hard to get them off on my own.

So if you see me out and about the next few weeks, expect to see me waddling around in a pair of black leggings and some cheap black tennis shoes that are a size bigger than I wear not pregnant, probably holding either the under side of my belly because our son likes to hang out in my pelvic bone, or the right side of my upper stomach, as our daughter likes to nuzzle her head into my rib cage. Boy pregnancy sure is glamorous! But I can firmly say I wouldn't trade this for the world. Here's to another fun filled week!

Baby #3 and #4: Weeks 31-32




What another exciting two weeks! The end of Week 30 brought a full day of freezer making meals with momma- what a task! We made 8 different meals, with at least two pans from each meal going into the freezer. We should be stocked up for a while! I can't thank my mom enough for helping me do this. When I needed a break to sit down and rest, she kept trucking. Whether it was washing dishes, browning meat, mixing ingredients, she didn't slow down the entire time she was at our house. I'm forever grateful for her and her helping heart.


The end of week 30 also brought a trip to the hospital for an ultrasound- but not of the babies. I really noticed during our freezer meal day that my legs HURT. The inside thigh and calf of both legs had been tender for a few days, but that long day on my feet made them hurt even worse. I called my OB's office to see if it was normal, and while they didn't think it was a blood clot since I was hurting on both legs and had no warmth or color change, they did want me to get scanned for blood clots just in case. It's amazing what technology can do! I'm happy to report that both legs are clot free, though that didn't solve the mystery of my hurting legs.

The babies helped us ring in the New Year with some awesome friends, including some interesting games of slap jack, uno, and go fish. And as a bonus we were in bed before the ball even dropped! I have a feeling that we will have many more New Years Eve's like that in our future and I can NOT wait.

The beginning of week 31 brought on another doctor's appointment and ultrasound! Bot babies continue to look good in there. Baby boy had a heart rate of 153 beats per minute, weighed 3 pounds and fourteen ounces and measured one week ahead. Baby girl had a heart rate of 155 beats per minute, weighed 4 pounds and three ounces and measured one week ahead. I gained about 6 pounds since my last appointment, putting me up a total of 25 pounds so far. I'm totally blaming the holidays and all the yummy food on that one! And on another note, both babies are still transverse across my belly, making the likelihood of a c-section more and more likely. We shall see what happens in the coming weeks!

On the 4th we had fancy dinner party with Brian, Mara, Doug and Ashley and boy does that thing never disappoint. Cornish game hens, homemade rolls, and a panna cotta chocolate mouse dessert that was to die for. The company wasn't too shabby either. I love this yearly tradition of ours!

This past week it was back to the old grind for me- we had our teacher's institute on the 6th and then our first day back with kids on the 7th. I wish I could say that the first day back was a breeze, but that would be a lie. You see, since about Friday night, I really noticed that not only did my legs still really hurt, but now they were really swollen. Like skin so tight, I only have one pair of pants that fit me now tight. I ended up calling my OB's office on the 7th and they wanted me to come back in and get checked out.

So I made the haul to Effingham to get a urine and blood pressure check- both of which came back normal. While I was there they went ahead and drew some labs to check for pre-eclampsia just in case- which also came back normal. And while I'm thankful that there's nothing "wrong", that wasn't the answer I was looking for. I mean, my legs are so swollen that it hurts to walk- I can hardly even bend my legs. I have some compression socks coming, and I'll be spending the next however many weeks pushing even more water than I was and trying to keep my feet elevated as much as possible. Fun times!

At least after wearing the compression stockings for a few days, I do feel like I'm slightly less swollen than before. And I can actually walk and move around without the high amount of pain I was having earlier in the week. Two thumbs up for progress!

Baby #3 and #4: Weeks 29-30

Now that I'm down to seeing the doctor every two weeks, I figured it was time to do my chalkboard updates in two week increments too. After all, who knows when these babies will get here. (Though we are hoping for late February!)

We hit thirty weeks this week, which honestly freaks me out thinking that the babies could be here in 6 to 8 weeks. But let's focus on week 29 first!


I'm not joking when I talk about the babies getting on my nerves that week. It started last Wednesday with some minor pain in my rear when I moved the wrong way. I messaged my chiropractor for some stretches to do to help out my new-found sciatic nerve pain. I was literally in tears that night as Eric helped me attempt to complete some of the exercises. 

Thursday provided some relief, but by Friday I could barely move without it hurting. Thankfully Sam was able to get me in a week early to try to help relieve some of the pain. I may have cried while she was adjusting me, but I was already feeling better by Saturday so I know that it helped!


Last Thursday was also a big day for our household as we became the proud owners of a 2008 Chrysler Town and Country Limited! For being over ten years old, this thing was practically brand new- I mean it still had less than 15,000 miles on it. We definitely lucked out in finding this thing and snatching it up before someone else could!

Last Friday I had another doctor's appointment. Both babies are still transverse, which means they are laying across my stomach with both their heads on the right side, and they are both still measuring two weeks ahead. I know there's still time for them to turn, but I'm hoping they do it sooner rather than later! 

Baby boy's heartbeat was 156 beats per minute and clocked in at 3 pounds 7 ounces. Baby girl's heartbeat was 144 beats per minute and she weighed 3 pounds 6 ounces.


This week we celebrated Christmas! We celebrated at my mom and dad's, and I'm pretty sure the babies, who aren't even here yet, already had more presents under the tree than Eric and I. I hate to see what next Christmas will bring! We get to celebrate with Eric's family this weekend, and I'm looking forward to watching Grant open all his presents and getting to snuggle with Emily. 

I'll be back in two weeks for another update!

Baby #3 and #4: Weeks 25-28





We've officially hit the third trimester this month- woo hoo!! It feels so good to finally be in the home stretch and getting one step closer to bringing these babies home. So let's take a look back at this crazy awesome month!

25 weeks was the date of our 3D ultrasound at Catching Glimpses in Effingham. We did this with Madison at a place in Indiana and I loved the pictures we were able to get there. This time we did the scan almost a month earlier than we did Maddie's scan since there's two in there and they are running out of room quickly. I was so pleased that we were actually able to get some picture's of Baby A (which the world now knows is a boy) because before then we literally had no pictures of his face. His sister likes to sit on his head and squish him down into his sack/placenta. Here's a few favorites from the scan!





At 27 weeks I had my one hour glucose test. I'm always worried about the glucose test, which I know has a lot more to do with baby's placenta than what I eat, but with two placentas this go around I knew my chances were higher of getting diagnosed with gestational diabetes. I was so happy to hear that my test came back below the threshold and I am GD free!

I found out that I gained three more pounds this month, and from the ultrasound measurements, the babies took two of those pounds! Both babies were measuring almost two weeks ahead, and both were weighing 2.8 and 2.9 pounds. I pray they keep growing big and strong, but it's making me worried for what things will be like come delivery time ha!

I finally bit the bullet and hit up a chiropractor this month. My back has been killing me, and I figured that a trip to get adjusted couldn't hurt anything. I'm super pleased to say that the last week of this month I have felt SO good (thank you Sam!!). I'm excited to continue these appointments to keep my back pain in check.

I was also showered with love at my baby shower in week 27. We received so many wonderful gifts, and announced to the world that the babies were a boy and a girl. We can't wait for our little guy and gal to get here!


In other news this month, I've officially lost my belly button and my ankles. Never fear though, I've gained some fabulous cankles and the start of an outie belly button. I don't even want to know what they will both look like in another month! I'm getting up more often again at night to use the restroom, and just because I'm having a hard time getting comfortable for the entire night. I still remember Eric rolling over to me one night and asking if I was OK since I'd been up and moving around so much that night. Thanks for your concern babe, my hips just can't take one position for too long. I've debated getting a big ol' pregnancy pillow, but I haven't pulled the trigger yet. We will see how these next few weeks go and if I finally place that Amazon order ha!

Our goal now is to make it as long as possible with these two still cooking so we can hopefully avoid a NICU stay after they are born. Here's to hopefully another 10 weeks or so to go!

Baby #3 and #4: Weeks 21-24







Wow what a month! I'll try to recall all the exciting things that have happened this past month, because it's a lot.

The first big thing was celebrating Erin and Chad's wedding date. It was an absolutely beautiful day, and the babies had a blast dancing around in momma's belly the entire day. During the ceremony, I even saw two white butterflies dancing around outside. I'm glad that Ian and Madison decided to stop by for the special occasion.




The day after their wedding (20 weeks 3 days) Eric finally felt the babies kick, or at least one of them anyways! To see the excitement on his face when he realized that it was truly a baby kick was priceless. He doesn't always notice them unless he's paying super close attention, but he's been feeling them kick ever since then.

Speaking of the babies kicking, in week 22 I was finally able to see the kicks from the outside. I need to try to catch it on video sometime soon, as the video I have of Madison's kicks is one of my favorites.

I also just want to note that by week 21 I was officially bigger than I was by week 40 with Madison. And at 22 weeks I was up 17 pounds total so far.

We've made lots of headway on the babies' nursery this month. It is no longer a storage room, and no longer yellow! We've got both cribs and a changing table set up. We still need a dresser and then to decorate and get the finishing touches in there before babies make their arrival.




We had another ultrasound a few days before week 23 and things are still looking good on both babies. Baby A is still being stubborn and not letting us get a good picture of its face, but baby will give in eventually I'm sure.

Week 23 also brought some more exciting news- the arrival of our new niece (and babies' new cousin) Emily! She is a doll. I am so looking forward to watching her grow in the years to come. I'm especially looking forward to watching Emily and our babies grow up together. I hope they are the best of friends, or can at least tolerate each other ha!



It's hard to believe how fast everything is going now, and I can't wait to see what's in store for us in the coming weeks. And while we can't wait to meet these babies, I'm really hoping they wait till late February to make their arrival!

Baby #3 and #4: Weeks 17-20





Weeks 17 through 20 are officially in the books- and we are more than likely already over halfway to meeting our babies!! Wow that feels good to write!

So much has happened this past month. For starters, my morning sickness has subsided and I'm feeling loads better than I was last month. Can I get a hallelujah for that!? 

I've been feeling the babies more and more often and have started feeling some nice hard kicks. It's still hard to tell which baby is doing what since they are moving around so much in there, but I'm hoping as they get bigger and stuck in one place that I'll be able to tell which one likes to kick the most- because right now I'm betting on baby A. Though during our anatomy scan the tech said that baby B will be our feisty one as baby was doing flips and kicks and some mad acro skills in there. 

Speaking of our anatomy scan, we had ours the day before I turned 19 weeks. It was so fun watching them on that screen and seeing their perfect little bodies. Unfortunately baby A wouldn't cooperate for a nice picture of it's face, so they couldn't get all the measurements they needed for it. And there were a few things they still need to measure on baby B as well. But both the tech and Dr. Haller said that babies looked good and they weren't concerned. We'll see them again in a few weeks and they can check things out again!

Best picture we could get of baby A. Baby had its head pressed up against its sack and was faced away from us almost the whole ultrasound. 


And while baby B might be our "feisty" one, at least it cooperated for a precious profile picture!


The tech was able to capture this adorable photo of the two of them together in a brief moment of cooperation <3


Babies are ready to party it up at Aunt Erin and Uncle Chad's wedding this weekend! And as always, we are looking forward to another day with our babies and to seeing them on the ultrasound screen again in a few weeks.
