More Tummy Pictures

Here are this months pictures of my baby bump. As you can see, i am steadily growing and i am definately bigger than i was at 22 weeks with Lilly. The babies are becoming more and more active and Lilly is still so excited to have a brother and a sister. She is always telling people that she is getting two babies.

update

Because we are having twins, we need to have extra ultrasounds to keep an eye on their growth and development. so, every month we get to have more ultrasounds. i have to say that i am excited because ultrasounds amaze me. i love to see them move around and see all their bones and bodyparts. we are all doing fine right now. the babies are looking great and growing fast. they are sure pushing down on my pelvis, though, and i am really feeling the pressure. i hope to make it to 28 weeks at work. the discomfort is getting to me, though. Clifford and Lilly are doing great, too. we are all really excited to welcome two babies. Lilly loves to play with all the twin dolls and accessories from Grammy's dollhouse. and it is cute because they are a blue baby and pink baby. she has pretty much forgotten about all other toys right now. the pictures of me are at 18 weeks, right after i found out i was having twins.
the ultrsound pictures are both profile views of each babies face. can you see?

Ultrasound Pictures

Here is the proof. It took a while to belive but i think it's sinking in that i am carrying TWINS! So, everyone was half right with their guessing, except my brother Abraham who stuck with his guess that it was twins, boy and girl. How did he know?

The Book was Right.

I joked that the end of this book we bought at the begining of my pregnancy was a sign. We bought it thinking it would be cute for Lilly but we never read it first. When we read it, i thought it would be funny if it was right. Who knew?

What's Your Guess?

Three weeks and counting till my ultrasound. i can't wait! I have no guess what this baby is going to be and no preference at all. I see the good and scary in both. This pregnancy is by far different from my first; i have only thrown up about 3 or 4 times in total this time, but with my first it was about that much in one day alone, for two months, unless i laid down all day. So, some say different symptoms mean different results. Others say they had the same sex with different symptoms, so who knows? Plus, i read that studies show that diet effects how bad your morning sickness is. If you eat more fatty foods the year before then you could get worse sickness. And i definatly did not eat well when i was first married, but now we eat much leaner meats and way less junk food. So, there is a possibility that that theory is true. Anyway, i want to know what you all think i will have. Please leave your guess and we will see who is right.

My Mom's Birthday

Clifford and i made this Butterfly cake for my mom. i think it turned out nicely. She had a good birthday

Two Year Photo Shoot

These are just some pictures i took when Lilly turned two.

Christmas Eve and Morning

I forgot to take many pictures this Christmas but these are some of Lilly opening her Jammies on Christmas Eve and her Santa Gift on Christmas morning. and us making a treat, "White Trash". We had a wonderful Christmas Season. i've been nauseous for two months but i was able to enjoy some fun traditions and family and friends. Lilly loved it so much that she keeps asking where her other presents are. i guess she wants Christmas every day. we ended up having to take the tree down sooner than we usually do because she kept saying Santa was coming again.

Santa

We took Lilly to see Santa this last weekend at Tuacahn. We have really been hyping him up so that she wouldn't be scared and call him grandpa-Santa because she loves grandpa looking men. so she was excited to go. As we left our house we saw an airplane's lights in the dark sky. i told Lilly that it was Santa's sleigh and we were going to meet him. so, the whole 40 minute drive, she kept saying "santa, hohoh" and "where's Santa?" non-stop. Then, when we got there, she saw him and while we waited in line she would say "Santa, I love you" and "Santa, Come get me!". She sat right on his lap and told him she wanted Ponies for Christmas and smiled for the camera. We'll have to hype him up every year because she was so cute!

Lilly's Second Birthday Parties

we had two parties for Lilly's Birthday, one was at my family's. Grammy got her a Dollhouse which she loves. We got her a tricycle which she has wanted for ages. She must have remembered her smash cake last year because the second i turned around, she put her face into the cake. it was so funny. we also had a party at our home with friends and family. She had such a blast with everyone and pigging out on junk and opening presents. She loves to blow out the candles and now always goes around trying to blow out regular candles. I made the animal cupcakes, with the help of Clifford, to go for the zoo theme i wanted because she love animals and the zoo.
