Okay here are just some of our photos from today's 4D ultrasound.. It was amazing and worth every penny. I will give you some info about each photo.

Photo 10: This is the Left Baby's FOOT.. See all those toes!

Photo 11: And this is my favorite.. This is one baby's hand on the others head!! See the thumb and fingers?

Okay sooooo I have a ton more.. just email me if you want some more, or you want them just to have in your inbox... they are all jpegs, so not large files at all.. I think if you click on the individual photos they will enlarge.. AND if you have any questions about any photo, just let me know..

Other random things from today.. we did see that there are 2 placentas too, that doesn't mean anything, we will have to wait out a DNA test to see if they are fraternal or identical. And the heartbeats were at 133 BPM and 140 BPM. We have another session on the 13th, soooooo if anyone wants to come : )

I know that Grandma is sitting near by her computer to see.. SO I am posting these in a hurry..

4D ultrasound photos.. COMING SOON!

sports mom.

It dawned on me today, as I was laying our soccer practice stuff ready and getting Jacques football uniform together, that I am a sports mom. And between just these two guys, I spend four days a week at sport events.. and it's just the two of them! Can you imagine when there are 4 boys in this family? YIKES! I am going to be that mom that takes the wrong kids to the wrong game! I think I better buy a good planner..

We watched this the other night, it was good. I love little babies in the belly.. Too Cute! Night.

27 week checkup

No photos, just an update. I had my 27 week checkup today and my cervix is still fully closed and still plenty of fluid around each baby.. Their is a small difference in the babies weights that we will now monitor more closely.. The left side twin is 2 pounds and the right side twin in 2.6 pounds.. nothing significant yet, but we will watch them very closely. Ohhhhh yeah, and they are still both boys :) Next check up in 3 weeks.

Ohhhh yeah and on Friday the 28th we have a 4D ultrasound scheduled for FUN.. nothing medical about it, just peeking in at our boys... And I will have photos to share from that!

jason's week in photos.

Well this little man had a great week! On Monday he was chosen as SUPERSTAR student of the week. He says it is because he listens well and works hard. He got a nice sticker, a free pizza coupon and an award. We have called him SUPERSTAR all week. I took lots of photos.

Then on Friday they had Cap day, the letter of the week was "C." He was so excited to wear it to school. I took lots of photos.

And this is how he has spent his play time, making Lego people. I was impressed by how hard he worked and how great he made these guys. The bottom guy is an astronaut. I had to take some photos.

And then he drew this. Last Sunday, he stayed home with his Dad while he changed the oil in the truck. When I got home, this was on the fridge.. Now I am impressed because of how accurate he drew the oil pan, with the nozzle that you drain it with and the dripping oil from the truck.. Then he drew his father on the "creeper" and his legs are sticking out.. I just thought it was perfect, maybe I am bias.

finished this yesterday.

Amazing. The word Endurance sticks in my mind.. Loved it. Going to read the next one as well.

these arrived today!

Soooooo super excited tonight, we went to Red Lobster and when we got home, the UPS man had been here! The babies double stroller and second car seat arrived!! These were both very GENEROUS gifts from my sister in law and her family, who got us both car seats and the stroller was from Bell, my best friend and her mother.. Seriously, I can't shout out enough THANK YOU'S.. We are really grateful to you all and love you bunches...And this is how it will look when the babies are on board.. HUGS!

six and a half months..

A milestone today.. six and a half months pregnant with our baby boys. Here is a quick photo shoot that I set up this morning.. These are a few of my favorites.. the top one has been "time warped" to 1960s, so had I been pregnant 21 years before I was born, that's what the photo would of looked like.. love it! Also through in one of the colored photo, but definitely favoring the black and whites. And I am hoping Jason is in a great mood after school (then the park) and let's me get some photos of him too. We'll have to see. Ohh and if you are wondering, at this point in my pregnancy, there will be no more bare belly shots, as lots of strange red marks are popping up contagiously..

So I am starting to feel more prepared where all the baby stuff is concerned.. we need to get a few major purchases out of the way still, like both swings, a play yard and the stroller.. but we will get there. I also bought the "going home" outfits yesterday and they just make my heart sing.. too cute! This week I also plan on packing the hospital bag and diaper bag, cause realistically anytime we made need them.

UPDATE: Ohhhhhh and this puts us for delivery in 10 weeks ish.. or about ONLY 70 days!! But being twins, they could technically come anytime.. BUT we want them here no earlier than 34-35 weeks, and hopefully here at 36-37 weeks.

just us.

soccer stud.

Woooohoooooooo! What a STUD! Jason played an excellent game! He was the goaly for the first half and stopped the ball twice.. He was brenched in sweat and water.. What a champ! They all played a great game and were exhausted.

Then we went to Chuck E. Cheese, played lots of games, chowed down on some pizza, pop and cinnamon sticks... I think he won 50 some odd tickets..

And then this.. seriously, who can sleep like this?? OUCH! Hello, neck pain! Kids are resilient, I guess and at some point he got set up right again and I was able to lay his seat back..

game day..

It's game day here again for the Dawg.. This is from last Saturday the 8th before the game.. and yes, he is annoyed that I am bothering him with the camera.. I will post more later from today's game.. GO OWLS!

got this.

Yesterday I decided to stop at the thrift store on post and found this for $18 bucks! And it is in great condition! Soooooo mark this off my never ending baby buying list. We now have two bouncers, Jason's old one (from aunt mary) and this one.. both vibrate too.. and this one turns into a nice toddler rocker! These will be great to lay the babies in while I am feeding them and they should nap too comfortably in them.. Happy Friday!

the babies will go here.

Soooooo the hubby got the bed set up last week.. and this is where they will sleep. In this bed, in our room. We are co-bedding (which is highly recommended) the twins until they need their own space. We will have a Pack and Play set up in the living room, for extra sleep space.

I love this bedding! It was a gift from my baby shower with Jason in 2002 from the Bell family and I had received two comforters, another from Uncle Paul and Aunt Pam. I kept them both, so now we still will have two! Coincident, hmmmm? And the bed was Jason's too, I wonder if it still makes it "second hand" if he never ever slept in it once, not even for a nap? Hmmmmmm..

25 weeks

pregnant with the twins today! That means only about 85 more days or 11 to 12 weeks, we are looking at delivering the babies around December 4-6 via C-section.. Sorry no belly photos today. We need to get some serious baby shopping done.. Our Target baby registry is still up :)

haircut.

Sorry if this picture scares you, but I wanted to show off the new cut.. Today I was bored and thought "Hey, why not whack off all my hair?" So I did.. No, honestly I had been wanting to for a while.. They took off 11 inches into 2 separate ponytails and I was able to donate it to Locks of Love. I got to say it feels really light and healthy! Have a good one!

Jason at the show..

Seriously, we had a BLAST! We had perfect seats and were able to see all the characters up close! We shared some blue cotton candy and a soda. Jason got himself souvenir binoculars and I got us a program. He participated through the entire show.. and the letter of the day was a "J" so he was extra excited because that "Is what my name starts with!" Love his expression in the first photo.. I will post more photos of the show later..

And look for more updates tonight or tomorrow because today is Jason's first soccer game against King Park school.. This is going to be great.

we will be here tonight.

That's right.. Sesame Street Live! I bought some great tickets this morning at the last minute. Jason doesn't even know, and I won't tell him either.. He was sooooooo excited when we went to The Wiggles in 2006 and he didn't know what was going on until we walked into the arena and he saw the set. He went nuts!! So I am going for that again tonight! I will be making him nap this afternoon, which he will be mad at me for.. Grrrr! Show starts at 7:00 pm and we are seats 1 and 2 in the FOURTH row.. This is going to be great! I can't wait... "Can you tell me how to get, how to get to Sesame Street?"

preschool first day mini.

Here is a quick mini album that I made out of file folders for Jason's first day photos.. Not sure that I am happy with the cover, but the inside is looking good.. Probably cause there are photos of such a handsome boy inside! Click here 2peas for more of this album.

ordered these..

Sooo these are two new releases from Making Memories.. I an trying to get a jump start on scraping the holidays.. and these two are my FAVORITE holidays.. Thanksgiving is a close runner up! Both are mini 5x7 albums. I also ordered from a new store Scrapgal online.. Totally lovein it! There were only 2 Christmas albums left when I placed my order! And with Priority shipping I should have my goodies in no time...

shhhhhhhhh...

Photo from August 31. Jason fell asleep with Woody and I just had to snap 20 photos.. We bought him Toy Story a week or so ago and he is watching it non stop, even twice in a row! He got this Woody for his first Christmas in 2003 and still loves it.. If you are thinking about this Christmas, he is asking for Toy Story 2 and a Buzz Lightyear, although as bad as we spoil him, he will probably have both within a couple weeks.. Later.

got geese?

We took Jason to a small pond on Saturday to feed a bunch of geese.. there must of been about 45 of them and even a swan. He had a great time, but really wanted to pet them.. not a good idea. Happy Labor Day!
