double the fun...

   To find words for this post took me a little while to come up with. I guess there is no way to say it other than we found out a little while ago Easton is going to be a BIG BROTHER! It was a fabulous surprise that we were not expecting so soon. Being so blessed to have another baby is beyond words, we are so excited. Soon after we found out that E is going to be a big brother my mind starts turning boy/girl, 4 am feedings, car seats, nursery, oh no we are going to have to get a double stroller since the babes will only be 19months apart, shew! Anyways I had a couple of weeks to digest the fact that I will have two little ones under the age of 19 months and I did in fact digest it and accept this will be our new family come December. Exciting. Our sweet family of soon to be 4.
    This pregnancy so far has been SOO much worse nausea and throwing up wise. It is like a clock turns on at 3 am and it is downhill from there until 3pm. With Easton I was nauseous all day, threw up maybe a total of 5 times. This go around I am lucky to only throw up 5 times a day. It has progressively gotten worse each day my feet touch the ground, cramping and pains that were so strong sent us to the doctor a day early.
   Brian and I headed into the doctors while our sweet friend Vicky watched our little E. We got there and the ultrasound is always first before we go see the doc. So as the lady started the ultrasound she started with the normal questions, first baby?, how many pregnancies?, how sick?, problems?, yadayadayada, then came quiet and she asked if we were trying?, no we said. then came the IVF question, and again no. Starting to get a bit nervous as she became VERY VERY quiet and slowly the words came out of her mouth, "hm, well there are two sacks." two sacks , what the heck does that mean, I said. She replied "two babies." The moments after that are a blur that I do not remember AT ALL. It was SHOCKING SHOCKING news since we do NOT have twins in our families!!!  I am still processing this news that is exciting, shocking, stunning, nerve racking. I think it will take a little while for the fact to set in that there are 2 babies in my belly, not 1 and now we will have a 3 kids under the age of 18months ( noticed I moved it up a month since twins come early). I still point the finger at my sweet husband who all along since we were pregnant said he had a feeling it was twins, that was quickly smashed by me saying its not even a possibility! ( news flash it definitely is a possibility even if you don't have twins in your family or don't do IVF) So all I have to say is we are thrilled in a surprising way that no matter what kind of plans you have for your life God has something A LOT BIGGER planned. So in the next upcoming months I will be taking names for anyone that would love to volunteer around November 22 and after. ( Just kidding, well maybe not so much) As shocking as this news is and as much as I wasn't at all expecting it, I am SO blessed to already have a beautiful family that I love more than words and cannot wait to add two more beautiful, hopefully redhead, babies to the addition.  Here is the the pic below of our TWO little ones. BTW that double stroller just turned into a triple stroller, eek!

Easter...

Sorry for no post lately, I honestly haven't had any pics to post so I will make up for that in the cute-ness of these photos below. We spent Easter Sunday with Brian's parents at Brian's grandmothers in Louisville about an hour from here, we had a great time.  I hope everyone had a fabulous Easter! By the way my baby is 11 months old now!
