It's our turn again!

We're Expecting!!!!!!
(Are you sitting down for this one?)

TWINS!
(Should I say it again? We had to hear it at least 2 times before we started breathing again and at least 4 times before we believed it!)

I'll just say it again.... TWINS!



Yep... there they are! Baby 1 and Baby 2... Uno, dose... Two... Two... TWO!
It gets better than that... As of right now it appears they will be identical twins! I know, I know... don't ask me, I haven't a clue. It's still pretty early (somewhere around 7 1/2 - 8 weeks) so the doctor said we just may be missing the separating membrane at this point. He had to magnify the babies a ton to get the pics he did! I'll be back in a month and hopefully we'll find out then!



So this is Baby A and he/she had a great strong heartbeat already at 145 beats per minute!



And here is Baby B... he/she is just as strong coming in at 145 beats per minute as well!
We are beyond shocked, excited, speechless... the list goes on! So far everything looks great, but being so early along we could sure use some prayer that everything stays that way! With twins there are definitely a lot of different risks from single babies, but we believe this is no accident and everything will turn out just as it should! We can't believe it... TWINS!
I did a little research because I'm still being hit with huge waves of shock and the chances of having natural twins are 1.7%... the chances of natural identical twins are 0.4%! How did I fall into those statistics? The world may never know! Considering the pregnancy alone was a surprise for us (we were actually trying not to!) this comes as a greater surprise! TWINS!

Today is the Day!

Hannah's actual 3rd Birthday! I can hardly believe it! Three! She's so smart and amazing!
Happy Birthday Hannah!
So this year we took Hannah to her favorite restaraunt! Red Robin! Every visit she patiently awaits the clapping of all of the staff to quickly stand up and watch as they sing Happy Birthday while delivering an ice cream sunday to the lucky table!
Little did she know that this time when she heard the clapping start and she stood up to watch the celebration that they came all the way over and landed right at our table!


The face she has above is the face she held the whole time they were singing! I don't think she took one breath during the whole song! Good thing she didn't pass out!


This is when everyone was clapping and the closest thing I caught to a smile before the crowd of singers left and she talked non-stop about how they came to our table this time!


She didn't hesitate to dig into the ice cream sunday as well! Stealing the cherry right off the top before we even had the chance!

She pulled the cherry out of her mouth so I could take a picture of it??

Grandma has been here for 2 weeks now and Hannah is having a blast. The house will be sad when she leaves! Anyone want to come visit to help take away the sting?


Now this is the proper way to eat an ice cream sunday! Happy Birthday Hannah!
