Babies Update--30 Weeks

How far along: 30 weeks and 2 days Total weight gain: 35lbs, no judging! Maternity clothes: Yes, yes, yes! I don't fit in anything else and maternity clothes are so comfy, some of my maternity clothes are not able to cover my whole belly now. Stretch marks: I have one or two on my love handles still, no new ones since 20 weeks Sleep: Still not fun, waking up at least 5 times a night to pee, getting a lot more uncomfortable. Best moment of this week: seeing the babies in 4D and moving to Arizona! Miss anything: Sushi and being able to put my shoes on easier. Movement: Yes and I love feeling/watching them move. Both babies had the hiccups the other night, that was fun! Food cravings: Still macaroni and cheese, I want to eat it every day! Anything making you queasy or sick: Nope! I've been feeling awesome! What strangers say: Do twins run in your family? I hope you have family near by. Are you about to give birth? Good luck! Gender: Boy and Girl Labor signs: Occasional braxton hick Belly button in or out: Both, not quite all the way out yet. Wedding rings on or off: Off Happy or moody most of the time: Happy most of the time, occasionally moody Looking forward to: Unpacking the house and getting the nursery done, my sister coming home from her mission, Thanksgiving and the babies coming!

Today I had another big anatomy scan and got some 4D shots as well! Baby girl is 3lbs 10oz and baby boy is 3lbs 8 oz. As of right now it is looking like baby boy will be born first. Both are head down and are as healthy as can be! 

Here are some cute shots of baby girl, check out those lips and that smile!

They have hair! This is baby boys head.

This is baby girls head, it looks like curly hair to me!

Baby boys foot

Best shot we could get of baby boy, baby girl is squishing him into the corner so there isn't much room for him! I wish we could have gotten a better picture of him.

Babies Update--25 Weeks

How far along: 25 weeks and 1 day Total weight gain: 25lbs, no judging! Maternity clothes: Yes, yes, yes! I don't fit in anything else and maternity clothes are so comfy. Stretch marks: I have one or two on my love handles still, no new ones since 20 weeks Sleep: Still not fun, waking up at least 3 times a night to pee. Best moment of this week: getting to see the babies and sushi date with Nathan today at lunch Miss anything: I really don't miss anything, I honestly feel better pregnant than not pregnant.  Movement: Oh my gosh yes! You can see my belly moving like crazy from the outside! Baby girl is on my left and I can feel her more than baby boy because her placenta is behind her while baby boy's is in front of him so it's a little harder to feel his kicks but I still do! Food cravings: Still macaroni and cheese, I want to eat it every day! Anything making you queasy or sick: Nope! I've been feeling awesome! Have you started to show yet: Obviously! Strangers are always talking to me now about my belly. I love it. I did have a homeless woman rub my belly while Nathan and I were on a walk yesterday. The two questions I get asked the most when I tell someone it's twins is "does it run in your family?" and "do you have family near by?" We don't have family near by yet, but we will soon! And twins do not run in our family. Mine were conceived via IVF, my sister Lauren does have natural twins so I am sure people thing they do run in our family! Gender: Boy and Girl Labor signs: None Belly button in or out: Both, not quite all the way out yet. Wedding rings on or off: On Happy or moody most of the time: Happy  Looking forward to: We have so much to look forward to! Moving down to Arizona, my sister Morgan coming home from her mission, the holidays, and our sweet babies being born!
Here I am at 25 weeks and 1 day.

We had another big anatomy scan today (I guess you get more than one with twins!) and I loved seeing the babies, they just keep getting cuter and cuter!

Baby girl is still baby A (meaning she will be born first), she is head up and weighs 1 pound 15 oz. Baby boy is baby B and is head down and weighs 1 pound 11 oz. We were not able to get a good picture of baby boy because baby girl was sitting on his head! Below is a picture of her thigh/leg on top of his head. I can tell this is going to be a fun relationship to watch grow :)

And this is baby girl, I couldn't believe how well you could see her face on a 2d scan.

We are so blessed to have these healthy babies!

Big News, Big Move!

We have even more big news (other than the fact that we are having twins) to announce! We are packing our bags in Sacramento and moving to Scottsdale! 

It was a hard decision to come to but we felt like it was best for our family. A little over a month ago Apple sought out Nathan for a job in the Bay. Intel has big offices in Chandler, AZ and that had been our potential plan to move to Arizona to have a little bit of help when the twins come along. Now with Apple offering Nathan this awesome job it made our decision even harder. After much thought and prayer we felt that it was right for Nathan to stay with Intel and for us to head down to Arizona. We are excited for our new adventure and look forward to seeing all our friends and family down there! We will be moving around the 1st of November. 

Oh, and did I mention we bought a house?! Well we are in the process of buying this cute house in South Scottsdale right now and I cannot tell you how excited I am! One more thing, DO NOT TELL MORGAN WALDROM. My sister comes home from her year and a half long mission in the Philippines in November and she does not know we are moving to Arizona, we are surprising her :) 

Midway Part 3

My parents had lots of fun activities for us to do while hanging out at the house. One of them was making rockets and launching them! It was so fun!

We also launched water balloons

One of the days we went to Homestead Crater. Its a natural hot spring of 95 degree water, it was awesome!

 Nathan and the boys went fishing

I had to buy these for the twinners, future cougs!

Nolan loved getting back tickles form Nathan, I never seen him lay so still!

My parents had some extra, uh I don't even know what to call them, but the things you hit together at basketball games and they make a loud noise??! They had lights in them and the kids loved hitting them and each other with the lights off.

Nathan and I did Minute to Win It one night, it was hilarious and fun to watch.

And before we headed back to CA we got to see my best friends, Joslin and Kaitlin, they're the best.

It was such a fun week, thanks Mom and Dad!!

Midway Part 2

One morning we went on a beautiful hike near the house we were renting. It was a nice flat hike, perfect for the kids!

 Nols and I

The two that made this trip so awesome!

And then off to Park City!

Quinn loved this bungee jumping trampoline

Alpine Slide

The slide and zip line

The weather was perfect and it was a blast!

Midway Part 1

We had an awesome family reunion up in Midway, Utah this summer. It was a blast! Nathan and I came from CA, Lauren, Emily, Mom and Dad and their families came from AZ and Cady and her family came from VA. It was so much fun being able to spend time with the whole gang.

Mom and Dad with all their grandbabies (5 under the age of 2, and 2 on the way!)

That Sunday after church we drove up to Salt Lake.

These two are best buds, Tristan kept calling Jarret share-it. It was too cute!

This picture looks photoshopped to me.

The kids museum 

The next day we hung out in Provo! We went to the new Bean Museum at BYU.

This tore at my heart strings, Nathan and Evelyn.

We ate lunch at the famous J-dawgs

And then bowling at the BYU Wilk!

For dinner we ate Pizza up the canyon near Bridal Veil Falls.

That evening we went on a train ride on the Heber Creeper.

And this is only the first two days, more to come!!
