Double Trouble

Well the mystery is finally over...We are having TWIN BOYS :) After a two hour ultrasound appointment in which I nearly fainted from laying on my back too long before they rolled me over we have two healthy boys. Both have strong heart beats and are head down at this point. They are 1.1 pounds of energy in my tummy right now. Baby A has his head buried into my right hip and Baby B is applying pressure to my bladder that will send me running to the nearest bathroom several times a day. We only got one 4D picture and he looked exactly like Rob.
Little Rob Face :)

So I am thinking the other must look like me ...We have another appointment in a month from now to see the hearts when they get a little bigger. I hope to add another 4D picture of Baby A who hopefully digs his head out of my Hip. Thankfully now I know why I have been waddling lately from the pain of it all. Next step is the baby room and I will start putting up pictures so you all can see the progress. I am thinking of going with a Nautical theme. Oh and for names yeah don't ask I will have to get back to you all on that one...You wouldn't believe all the negative things you remember about boys you met while growing up :) Nobody wants to name there son after the mean kid on the playground.

Spaghetti Squash

Our babies are now the size of spaghetti squash and if you eat that sort of thing then you know how big they are...We have NO idea...thank goodness that next Wednesday we have our BIG ultrasound :) Ok on to better things...the actual title of this post should be...

Things that people NEVER tell you about being pregnant. (Proceed with caution entering the mind of Amy)

I AM LOSING MY HAIR- nobody said that one day I would enter the shower do a little hair shampoo brush the teeth and bam hair is falling out. I am glad that I am starting out with some thick hair cause I would be worried if I wasn't

I CANNOT FIND WHERE MY BOOBS END AND AND MY STOMACH BEGINS- OK and the problem here really is comfort...YIKES I have no room for them to grow up wards please start going outtie...I am losing space daily. While it might seem kind of convenient to prop things on your belly I find there is more dribbling down the front of my shirt unnecessarily. NOT ATTRACTIVE.

KICK THE BLADDER GAME- While I do find that having my babies kick me kind of precious...not while I am at work and I have held out a little too long to go to the restroom. That is right I got a little worried when they started kicking me a little low...please say they stay in there right ...nobody is going to have a leg fall out PLEASE!

BELLY BUTTON - I know now that getting my belly button pierced was the WORST idea I ever had. First off your belly is never and I mean never going to stay looking like it did when you were 22. Plus have a fake diamond hanging from the middle of your stomach benefits you ...HOW? Oh yeah and my favorite as your stomach stretches and so does that once tiny hole that held that lovely fake diamond..AWESOME. I do hope that when I get that tummy tuck and boob job they can some how fix that little mistake from my earlier years. That once cute innie belly button is closer to being an outtie by the minute and boy does it HURT.

So nobody tells you this stuff when your talking about getting pregnant.....but I guess its better that way...I have so much time left..Thankfully I get my first prenatal massage today....

The BIG Surprise!

Last week was a whirl wind...We were very ambitious and started painting the babies room on Memorial Day. Of course since we were painting over the Seahawk blue Rob had chosen for the office the room definitely needed a second coat. We worked on the babies room all the way to Wednesday. Finally I get a night to rest...NOPE...Rob is still cleaning like crazy. My mom is scheduled to arrive on Saturday morning. I know that I should want an immaculate house but there is a voice inside me (well two voices rather) telling me that I have had enough. I start getting cranky and finally plop down and throw my hands in the air. I AM DONE! Rob continues this way up until Saturday morning when I hear my moms car honk in front of our house....hmm there is a second honk?!? Rob sends me out to greet my mom and to my surprise all of my beautiful Aunts are there in my driveway with my Grandmama and Mom :) I of course I cry and feel awful that I have been the pregnant lady from you know where for days now. There is to be a Shower at my house with my family. AWESOME husband knew the whole time. SO I was pleasantly surprised with a shower all about me :) I got new maternity clothes...I HAVE SHORTS that I can fit in...SO amazing cause it gets HOT HOT here in the summer. I have a baby hugger which is suppose to support my belly here in a little bit (I have no idea how to put it on) ****note to self ask Mom next time she is up***I got a Boppy and I even know what that is....I got this fabulous pillow wedge thing that has brought endless hours of sleep ...so nice. I have to say the "A" and "B" cupcakes were so YUMMY! The perfect day! To top it all off my sister and brother showed up. The weekend was so good that I got my first kick on Sunday night :) Either the twins where hopped up on red velvet cupcakes or they were as excited to see my family as I was. I have the BEST family EVER! That day will go down in the pregnancy history books...

SO I have little movers and shakers now :) I get to bring my kids to work everyday and they distract me all day long! I LOVE IT! Today I had one hitting me on the top of my belly and the other on the bottom. I know this will probably get old but for now it makes me giggle out loud. I cannot wait to see the little monsters on the BIG screen in 15 days. Count down has officially begun for our BIG ultrasound on June 22nd. Maybe there is a little Annabel Grace in there or a Boy name that we are not aware of yet :) Either way these two are already very well loved!

P.S. to the Aunties that took the scenic route home via Yakima I LOVE YOU!
