We decided not to find out the gender so we keep going back and forth on what we think baby might be! This week so far as been a little nutty! On Tuesday of this week we discovered a gas leak and had to go stay in a hotel while it was fixed! The twins got to meet some of Shorewood's Finest; the police and firefighters! I had to go in for a non-stress test and got to just sit and listen to baby's heartbeat which was awesome :). Baby looked fine but having been exposed to gas fumes they wanted to ensure everything was ok!<br />
<div>
Grammy, Rhett, Greyson, Sienna, and I all stayed at the embassy suites downtown to be close to my doctor and Rhett's work. The kids enjoyed playing in the hotel and visiting the "manager's reception" for snacks. We returned home a day later only to get the flu!! Never a dull moment! Baby will be here so soon!</div>

We've all been having fun! My mom came for a visit too! We've been busting out the baby stuff from the basement and cleaning clothes in preparation for baby's arrival! We are getting so excited! I'm also nervous to leave the twins for a few nights while in the hospital as I've never been away from them for more than a night but I know they'll be in good hands!<br />

We came back from Ohio and got unpacked, played in the snow, played with our new toys, and generally just got acclimated after our week long stay in Ohio over the holidays.<br />
<div>
A few weeks after being home, I was due to go in for my 34 week appt. I had been feeling some pressure already so asked Rhett to take me. Turns out I was already dilated and baby's head was super low! Having had the twins so early, this caused us to be quite concerned. We knew that keeping me off my feet as much as possible would keep baby in longer but this is easier said than done with two, two year olds! Then Grammy (Rhett's mom) came to the rescue and flew from Arizona and is going to stay til baby comes. She's been amazing cooking, cleaning, and taking care of Rhett, the twins, and myself! We are so lucky to have her here!</div>

We decorated the house, saw Santa (disaster, ha) and went to Ohio for Christmas which is always so much fun. Sienna and Greyson got lots of toys they loved and we made many memories we'll always cherish as our last Christmas as a family of 4! Every Christmas Eve my mom and I go to Palominos and a little shopping after. We've been doing this since I was young and now it's 3 of us! Rhett and Greyson went to chuck e cheese for some guy time :). Looking forward to seeing what 2016 has in store!<img src="webkit-fake-url://a19918e1-7e75-4e83-a4b9-87107b433e2d/imagejpeg" /><br />

I think the only thing better than Christmas is now having Christmas with Sienna and Greyson. They don't really understand what Christmas is yet, but Sienna has defiantly noticed the influx of deliveries we've been receiving lately and she looks out for the UPS and FedEx trucks and says, "Mommy, what we gots?!" (It's cute now, grammar lessons can come later ;). We've been having fun getting into the Holiday Spirit with getting Holiday pictures done at the Lincoln Park Conservatory, trying to see Santa at Bass Pro Shops ( I know it sounds weird, but it's awesome, so awesome, it had a three hour wait so we walked around and left, these kids aren't waiting 3 hours for anyone, even Santa himself. We ended up seeing Santa at the mall, which they HATED, but hey, you just have to, right? The kids had fun decking the halls with us here at the house, but also like destroying the tree and said decorations just as much! We've baked cookies, made crafts, and just been having lots of fun! December has been unseasonably warm so we've even played outside quite a few times!<br />
<br />
For Christmas we are headed to Ohio to spend it with my family. We'll be gone about a week and I'm super excited! That's all for now, and of course... PICTURES!!!<br />

We visited a local indoor play place in the mall that the twins enjoyed, had a visit from Lolo, visited the zoo, and had our first Thanksgiving in our new house! Sienna and Greyson turned 2 and a half this month and are so fun to play and learn with everyday. I love trying to see the world through their eyes, seeing them interact with each other and the world around them is such a blessing and I am so thankful to have a husband who works so very hard so I can stay home with them. Here are some pictures of all the fun we had in November!<br />

Our first fall in the suburbs was been lots of fun! We went to the apple orchard for the first time and also the pumpkin patch! The kids had fun at both. Sienna and Greyson are both into farm animals, although Greyson is a bit more skeptical. Sienna likes to mostly call the animals by the sounds they make, moo, neigh, but her personal favorite is "piggy" which I think her Grandma Lolo may have passed down to her.<br />
<br />
Fittingly so, for Halloween the kids dressed up as farm animals (a moo and and mommy and daddy were Old MacDonald and his wife with baby MacDonald on board! We went over to Uncle Robbie and Aunt Sarah's house, which is now like 2 minutes away, and got to eat pizza with cousin Lucy and cousin Maisy before visiting three houses, and then they were ready to pack it in! haha. It was a good time and Sienna enjoyed eating candy with daddy and helping pass some candy out! Greyson isn't really a candy fan so he just chilled and played, happy to strip his costume off :)<br />
<br />
Not to forget baby to be this week baby turned 20 weeks and we had our big ultrasound and all looked great! This is the appointment in which we could have found out baby's gender, but we are going to be surprised!<a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-OpwtTL9zKTo/VnHoN8KaoLI/AAAAAAAABzw/pWWid_U2C2E/s1600/IMG_0560.jpg" imageanchor="1" ><img border="0" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-OpwtTL9zKTo/VnHoN8KaoLI/AAAAAAAABzw/pWWid_U2C2E/s200/IMG_0560.jpg" /></a><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-DXitdZD9OsY/VnHoJdLDAbI/AAAAAAAABzo/5pO_p7F0REY/s1600/IMG_0670.JPG" imageanchor="1" ><img border="0" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-DXitdZD9OsY/VnHoJdLDAbI/AAAAAAAABzo/5pO_p7F0REY/s200/IMG_0670.JPG" /></a><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-e0qPfzDxHrc/VnHoO4L24-I/AAAAAAAABz4/m_vh9jktRzc/s1600/IMG_0749.jpg" imageanchor="1" ><img border="0" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-e0qPfzDxHrc/VnHoO4L24-I/AAAAAAAABz4/m_vh9jktRzc/s200/IMG_0749.jpg" /></a><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-MqNsKWHlf1s/VnHoQ6HMRGI/AAAAAAAAB0A/lUYSgX2c7T4/s1600/IMG_0758.jpg" imageanchor="1" ><img border="0" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-MqNsKWHlf1s/VnHoQ6HMRGI/AAAAAAAAB0A/lUYSgX2c7T4/s200/IMG_0758.jpg" /></a><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-RjUacvzEyVU/VnHoVkCXkPI/AAAAAAAAB0I/2X_a_ZLAP7E/s1600/IMG_0760.jpg" imageanchor="1" ><img border="0" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-RjUacvzEyVU/VnHoVkCXkPI/AAAAAAAAB0I/2X_a_ZLAP7E/s200/IMG_0760.jpg" /></a><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-adllslkhCYM/VnHoWOmH4II/AAAAAAAAB0M/BEhlTFj_fFA/s1600/IMG_0789.jpg" imageanchor="1" ><img border="0" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-adllslkhCYM/VnHoWOmH4II/AAAAAAAAB0M/BEhlTFj_fFA/s200/IMG_0789.jpg" /></a><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-kebHG53dlss/VnHoXAkRyvI/AAAAAAAAB0Y/wBrV9WSOvIw/s1600/IMG_1730.jpg" imageanchor="1" ><img border="0" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-kebHG53dlss/VnHoXAkRyvI/AAAAAAAAB0Y/wBrV9WSOvIw/s200/IMG_1730.jpg" /></a><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-WLiLaPvA1Lc/VnHochF8FvI/AAAAAAAAB0g/-siNSpv6pdU/s1600/IMG_1741.jpg" imageanchor="1" ><img border="0" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-WLiLaPvA1Lc/VnHochF8FvI/AAAAAAAAB0g/-siNSpv6pdU/s200/IMG_1741.jpg" /></a><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-QUhfwRkVe80/VnHof4f9XII/AAAAAAAAB0o/n-tNGcypDxI/s1600/IMG_1743.jpg" imageanchor="1" ><img border="0" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-QUhfwRkVe80/VnHof4f9XII/AAAAAAAAB0o/n-tNGcypDxI/s200/IMG_1743.jpg" /></a><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-B1l9zJ8ikgg/VnHof9gDsqI/AAAAAAAAB0s/dyPlqZb3XdQ/s1600/IMG_1747.jpg" imageanchor="1" ><img border="0" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-B1l9zJ8ikgg/VnHof9gDsqI/AAAAAAAAB0s/dyPlqZb3XdQ/s200/IMG_1747.jpg" /></a><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-kVdOxvmt61M/VnHojm1z3eI/AAAAAAAAB04/T1YuAj0j2UQ/s1600/IMG_1748.jpg" imageanchor="1" ><img border="0" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-kVdOxvmt61M/VnHojm1z3eI/AAAAAAAAB04/T1YuAj0j2UQ/s200/IMG_1748.jpg" /></a><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-8k7Cyda6ec4/VnHo-i7NFwI/AAAAAAAAB1I/z262ZcR6lOY/s1600/IMG_1751.MOV" imageanchor="1" ><img border="0" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-8k7Cyda6ec4/VnHo-i7NFwI/AAAAAAAAB1I/z262ZcR6lOY/s200/IMG_1751.MOV" /></a><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-LpEw2tImZ0U/VnHolh7nacI/AAAAAAAAB1A/y91tiABDpEw/s1600/IMG_1754.JPG" imageanchor="1" ><img border="0" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-LpEw2tImZ0U/VnHolh7nacI/AAAAAAAAB1A/y91tiABDpEw/s200/IMG_1754.JPG" /></a><br />

Little Miracles So moving is a busy, stressful, sleep stealing, all out crazy time! In all the craziness I started to feel sick about a week after moving in, and naturally thought I had the flu, but when a week passed and I still didn't feel better I decided to pick up a pregnancy test at the store. I still remember going to the store on a Wednesday night, a few days after the 4th of July, after the kids were asleep. I ran into the bathroom and took the test as Rhett was out walking Bauer. When he returned, I was sitting on the couch but decided to go in and just see for myself it was negative, because seriously, how could that even be? Well, negative it was not! I ran out and flashed it at Rhett (ok, gross, I know, I had just peed on it.) Rhett was like, seriously, that can't be! Well be, it was! We are shocked, thrilled, and excited to announce that in the end of February the Stenzel Crew is growing to 5. Who thought that after six years of fertility treatments we'd get our own little "surprise"! So far, the pregnancy has been going great, except for some pretty awful morning sickness, so it was so nice to have Jan in town for the summer, as she helped out a great deal with the twins! A few first trimester bump pics, first, ultrasound, and announcement pics! We announced on my birthday!<br />

As much as it broke our heart to leave the city, we decided it was time. So back in June we rented out our condo and decided to rent a house out in Shorewood, which is a cute, quiet suburb south of the city. We aren't quite ready to decide where we want to end up long term so we are testing the waters first. "Lolo" came to help us move and was a serious lifesaver. I have no idea what we would have done without her! I hope to be the mom to these kiddos that she is to me!<br />
<br />
So far the kiddos have loved the extra space, having their own rooms (which was desperately needed), a playroom, a yard, and a swing set (that daddy put together all by himself, so proud!) For the first time in over two years Rhett and I are getting a full night's sleep, as Greyson has finally stopped waking up at night, so it has been amazing!<br />

This year for Sienna and Greyson's Birthdays we decided it keep it simple and just do a small family party, but because we have family all over, these lucky cuties ended up having two parties (and two piƱatas!)My mom hosted the one in cincinnati and the kids had a blast playing out back! Back here in Illinois, Rhett's parents hosted a party and Lucy and Jan party planned together, and Aunt Brea made the amazing tiered cake! They had a really good time at both and it is so fun to see the curious, happy, fun-loving, and ENERGETIC children they have become. Watching them grow has been a true blessing and we can't wait to see what the next year has in store for these amazing little miracles.<br />

You don't notice it flying by, it creeping by, flipping through days, that become months, that become years, until suddenly you turn around and two cute, smiling, giggling plotting toddlers are standing in front of you. It's not that you didn't know time was passing, you just didn't realize how incredibly fast until BOOM.. there it is, your babies aren't babies anymore and you stand there scratching your head... when did this happen?!?<br />
<br />
But happen.. it did. In less than a month, Sienna and Greyson will be 2. TWO! I still can't wrap my head around it really. It is nuts. What is equally as baffling is that is has been over a year since I have blogged. So as per the title of this blog, I am going to try to recap since I last wrote what has been going on with these awesome, wild, funny, energetic, heart warming, little miracles. Words can express a lot, but pictures kind of say it best. So I am going to post a few of our favorites.Mind you there only carry us through their first year of their life, but I'll make it a goal to get caught up in the next month before I get another year behind! Until then I am going to try not to blink or two 3 year olds will be standing before me.<br />

New years are always so exciting, a time to reflect, look forward, anticipate, and dream. I however, look back to 2013 with the happiest of hearts and a smile on my face. 2013 goes down as one of the best years ever, as 2013 gave us Sienna and Greyson, it made us parents, it forever opened our hearts, decreased our sleep, perhaps scattered our brains a bit, but has completed us, made us whole, filled the piece that was missing. We will never be the people we were before, 2013 has forever changed us, it gave us hope, made us believe in happy endings, and that dreams really can come true! Cheers to 2014, onward ho! But just a warning, you have some big shoes to fill. <br>
<br>
P.s. 2014 has already brought change..introducing highchairs and purƩed bananas. Boomer and Bauer, the moment you've been waiting for as finally arrived. Mommy won't be the only one sneaking you scraps ;)<div><br><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><a href="https://lh4.googleusercontent.com/-LJXnsA0kEPA/UsTaIOsbyJI/AAAAAAAAA9Y/w2A571F4LNM/s640/blogger-image-898762339.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://lh4.googleusercontent.com/-LJXnsA0kEPA/UsTaIOsbyJI/AAAAAAAAA9Y/w2A571F4LNM/s640/blogger-image-898762339.jpg"></a></div><br><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><a href="https://lh4.googleusercontent.com/-BuB2ksXiSfI/UsTaCjphbpI/AAAAAAAAA9A/2zqdzq2o9zU/s640/blogger-image-1152706831.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://lh4.googleusercontent.com/-BuB2ksXiSfI/UsTaCjphbpI/AAAAAAAAA9A/2zqdzq2o9zU/s640/blogger-image-1152706831.jpg"></a></div><br><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><a href="https://lh4.googleusercontent.com/-CjMWcXcZSrw/UsTaK9RkjyI/AAAAAAAAA9g/KXuQGa__PkQ/s640/blogger-image-777958838.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://lh4.googleusercontent.com/-CjMWcXcZSrw/UsTaK9RkjyI/AAAAAAAAA9g/KXuQGa__PkQ/s640/blogger-image-777958838.jpg"></a></div><br><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><a href="https://lh5.googleusercontent.com/-u_oRDb8u1m4/UsTaEOZgW-I/AAAAAAAAA9I/hnnbiAhkBMs/s640/blogger-image--1072199846.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://lh5.googleusercontent.com/-u_oRDb8u1m4/UsTaEOZgW-I/AAAAAAAAA9I/hnnbiAhkBMs/s640/blogger-image--1072199846.jpg"></a></div></div><br><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><a href="https://lh4.googleusercontent.com/-Rj3ovjScle8/UsTaGL4LyrI/AAAAAAAAA9Q/OaM3-Y87KxQ/s640/blogger-image--91024677.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://lh4.googleusercontent.com/-Rj3ovjScle8/UsTaGL4LyrI/AAAAAAAAA9Q/OaM3-Y87KxQ/s640/blogger-image--91024677.jpg"></a></div>Bailshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03855849934169025065noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3108983766483778232.post-46262611058767202832013-12-28T13:59:00.000-06:002014-01-01T09:06:10.251-06:00A Very Merry Christmas!<div><br></div>Christmas has always been one of my favorite times of year. I always look forward to going home to Ohio and spending time with family and partake in Christmas traditions. For the past five years there was always a gift Rhett and I longed for that couldn't be found under the tree. This year though, we were doubly blessed to receive those two precious gifts and were thrilled to spend the holiday season with our precious miracles, Greyson and Sienna!<br>
We had so much fun showing them off and sharing their first Christmas with them! We look forward to many more Christmases with the greatest gifts we have ever received! We hope all of you had a wonderful X-mas too!<div> </div><div>

Two miracles we weren't sure would ever happen, two miracles that entered this world eight weeks early but are such little fighters and amaze us with their progress every single day. Two miracles that came into our life eight days ago and filled in the pieces to a puzzle that wasn't complete until their arrival. Two miracles we call Sienna and Greyson, and the world as we know it will never be the same.<br />
<br />
With that said, our little miracles are doing great. We spend any minute we can in the NICU hanging out with them, cuddling them for kangaroo time (skin to skin cuddling) and feeding, changing, weighing, and taking their temps. We have been enjoying every minute we have with them. Being in the NICU is obviously not how any parent envisions their child's first days, but the nurses and doctors are so amazing and are quickly becoming like family to us. It is so hard to leave them every night to come home and go to bed, but it gives us peace of mind to know they are in such good care.<br />
<br />
Sienna and Greyson are now 33 weeks 4 days and they are practicing sucking and swallowing, working on maintaining their body temperature with the help of an isolette, and slowly gaining and sometimes losing weight. They are doing so well and are becoming more alert each day, are showing more interest in nursing and bottle feeds, and just wowing us with how strong such little babies can be. They usually tell you that babies in NICU can expect to be there until their due date and mine was July 14th. Sometimes babies do go home earlier, but they still have learning and growing to do. We are making the most of it, trying to get some sleep while we still can, and learning so much from the nurses about caring for our precious little miracles.<br />

<br />
As many of you know, a week ago today, I was admitted to the hospital after a routine doctor's visit. I was dilated and having contractions. After a 4 day hospital stay, I was sent home to continue bed rest. There is no way to know for sure why I was showing signs of preterm labor, but with twins, it isn't very uncommon. They were able to give me medication to help develop their lungs, slow down contractions, and prevent cerebral palsy, which can happen sometimes in premature babies. It was a very scary experience, but I am home and doing well and thankful to God that they were able to stay put for a while longer. I was very lucky to have had my mom and Rhett at the doctor's appointment with me. It was great to have them there. My mom had been in town for the weekend, but stayed through this past Saturday and helped get our place in order and cooked lots of great meals!<br />
<br />
The doctors made us feel better in knowing that even if they were to come now, they will be okay, just need quite some time in the NICU. With twins, spending time in the NICU is not uncommon, so Rhett and I had kind of mentally prepared for this reality anyways. Each day that passes is a victory, and gives these precious sweet peas more of an advantage to facing the world.<br />
<br />
I will be home until they decide to come ( which we are hoping is weeks away) and am on moderate bed rest which means I am allowed to move around to shower, cook a meal, move from bed to couch, so it isn't so bad at all. I stay put as much as possible, and don't get up often, but it is nice to know I can. Thanks to everyone who has called, texted, and helped out in various ways, especially my lovely hubby who runs all errands (even to motherhood maternity yesterday, what a guy!), takes good care of me, makes me laugh, and gives me so much love and support! Thanks to all our family and friends who we know are there for us in the blink of an eye. We love you all.<br />
Love,<br />
<br />

I am 29 weeks (and a half)! Rhett and I have been busy getting ready for babies! Last weekend we had the nursery painted and it looks great! We had wonderful weather which made it easy to keep the windows open all weekend long! Now that the walls are painted we can put away the rest of the things and start hanging stuff!<br />
<br />
I had an ultrasound yesterday and the little ones are growing away! Our little boy is now 3 lbs, 11 ounces and our little girl is 3 lbs 7 ounces! I basically already have a full term baby inside of me (when combining their weights)! They are looking great and we both feel so blessed to have everything going so well!<br />
<br />
The heat we have had in the past couple days has made me a bit uncomfortable, but other than that, I am doing well. I can't believe I would ever not want to be in the hot sun, as I am pretty much addicted to it, but today was in the 80's and sunny and I drove home with the moon roof closed! I know, it is shocking! <br />
<br />
There is 17 days left of school and then I plan to put my feet up all day everyday! We are hoping these little ones stay put until 38 weeks. We have a planned c-section on July 1st, but the twins might have plans of their own. Until then we are just enjoying every moment of this pregnancy, thankful for the wonderful gifts that have been bestowed upon us!<br />

From my fav lady, Erma Bombeck:<br />
<a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-WTBMfVVEkT8/UW8pt1568fI/AAAAAAAAAiA/Nzwthy70xbI/s1600/27580539cc7b9a3357d160981df82c92.jpg" imageanchor="1" ><img border="0" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-WTBMfVVEkT8/UW8pt1568fI/AAAAAAAAAiA/Nzwthy70xbI/s320/27580539cc7b9a3357d160981df82c92.jpg" /></a><br />
On Sunday I was 27 weeks. 27 weeks? Seriously? It seems like just yesterday I took a home pregnancy test on a Friday, then ran to the bar where teacher happy hour was taking place to pass around a picture of the test to my friends from school, too excited to hold it in.<br />
<br />
It is crazy how fast time flies, and how so much can change in a year. It was only a year ago that I was gearing up for another IVF cycle, and then another after that, wondering, praying, and hoping that sometime would be our time. It is so true that God works in mysterious ways, and that He has a plan for us all. I am so glad that these two precious babies are in the plan for us.<br />
<br />
27 weeks, which would mean 13 weeks left if I were having one baby, but a maximum of 11 since we are having two miracles. I am so excited to meet these little angels, but I also am loving being pregnant. I promised myself long ago that I would try not to complain about pregnancy too much, after all, it is something I only dreamed would happen to me someday. So I take everyday as a blessing, run to the mirror and check out my bump every morning, just to make sure it wasn't all some amazingly fantastic dream.<br />
<br />
As far as pregnancy goes, I really can't complain. Some heartburn, sure, some aches and pains here and there, yes. But I am sleeping quite well, the babies are doing amazing, and I have a doting husband who helps makes life so much easier, so life is good, pregnancy is good, and God is good.<br />
<br />
On Friday we had an ultrasound and Rhett and I both took days off work so we could go together. The babies looked great, and they are both measuring ahead of where a singleton would even be! 2.6 pounds each thank you very much! These kiddos love to eat, and I hope they keep growing big and strong everyday! They are both breech, and their two little heads are snuggled up next to one another, so adorable. So it is looking like a c-section but they still could turn, but with twins, a c section might not be such a bad thing after all!<br />
<br />
Tomorrow is Rhett's birthday, the most important day of the year in my opinion, the day the most selfless, caring, funny, hard-working, smart, and handsome man in the world was born. The man I am lucky enough to call my husband and our little miracles are lucky enough to call daddy.<br />
<br />
Here are my 27 week pics: Yes, I am asked everyday if I am due any day now!! The babies are the size of cauliflowers, but I can't draw, hence why they look like really large grapes..<br />

Here are some ultrasound pics. A is baby boy, B is baby girl! The one pic that says A and B in it is their little heads nestled up next to one another!<br />

So I was 25 weeks on Sunday, which means I am closer to being 26 weeks than 25, but I did take my pictures two days ago, so I figured it was time to post! <br />
Time has been flying by! Last week was my Spring Break. It started off with me coming down with a really bad cold that kind of knocked me out. It was nice though to just relax, sleep in a little, lay around, and start putting stuff away in the nursery. There is still a ton to do, like paint, put up curtains, hang prints, but things are finding a place and we can walk in there without tripping over stuff now, so I'll take that as progress!!<br />
Yesterday Rhett and I went to our first child birth class. It was at Northwestern, where we will deliver, and it was cool because it was a class just for parents of multiples! All the couples except for one, were having twins and one couple was having triplets!! We thought we were going to have our hands full. We learned a lot, I got a little queasy watching the birthing video, but beyond that it was good. We are both exhausted though because it was 4 hours long and ended at 9, so that was very late for me to get to bed!!<br />
<br />
The kiddos have been super active and are moving all over the place! I just look down at my stomach and it's like watching a tidal wave, they both like me to know they are there, I think they are going to have some adorable little personalities! <br />
<br />
Well that is all for now, hope all is well with everyone!<br />
<br />
Bails, Rhett, and twinsies<br />
<br />
Here are my 25 week pics, I have started getting asked if I am due any day now, I just look surprised and say, "I'm not pregnant." (only kidding, but how funny would that be?!?!)<br />

Time has been flying by and I am now 23 weeks! The babies are growing rapidly and are now the size of grapefruits, it seems like yesterday the were mere lentil beans! I have been feeling them kick a lot and Rhett and my mom have also got to feel them kick! You can see it through my shirt too when I am sitting down, it's crazy to just see my skin get pushed forward, like they are saying, "Hey we're here!"<br />
<br />
This past weekend we traveled to Cincinnati for our baby shower, and my mom did a great job putting everything together and my very pregnant cousin, Amanda, who is expecting her 3rd child in April, put together some very fun shower games! It was so nice to see family and friends that we haven't seen in a while! Including my good friend Megan who traveled all the way from Cleveland to be there! We were blessed with many well wishes and generous gifts and were feeling quite lucky this Saint Patrick's Day!<br />
<br />
I am headed to the doctor today to check and see how the little ones are going and make sure that I won't need bed rest soon. The goal is obviously to keep them in me as long as possible, so I will be sure to update once I know! Thanks for everyone's love! We are so excited to have shared and continue to share this exciting journey with you!<br />
<br />
Love,<br />

This past week was such an exciting one! We had our Chicago baby shower and had such a great time! My sister-in-law Sarah threw it for us, and she did such an amazing job! Everything was adorable and delicious! We felt so blessed to have our family and friends there with us to share in our joy! My friend Christa is a great friend, excellent secret keeper, and the best cake decorator I've ever seen! She made our gender reveal cake for the shower, and it was absolutely adorable! We cut into the cake and revealed to our family and friends that we are having.... a boy and a girl! We are over the moon and think it is just perfect, God truly had a plan for us, and we both agree it was well worth the wait! We are so lucky to have the love and support of family and friends and feel blessed everyday that we lay on the couch at the end of the day and feel the kicks and movements of our little ones, life is good!<br />

Well it is safe to say, that my nesting mode has offically kicked in! We got our cribs and changing table, and Rhett put them together! The second room is now a nursery! We still have a lot to do, such as adding a new paint color, curtains, and rug, and I need to find a glider, but there is still lots of time for that!<br />
<br />
In other news, I am 19 weeks and 5 days, so I am a little late on the blog post, but better late than never! We had our big ultrasound this week where they looked closely at each twin to study their organs, growth, heart rates, etc. It all looked great! The only thing that was noted was one of my placentas is a bit low so it just means no lifting,running, etc. Which is all fine by me right now! The doctor said that it isn't anything to worry about, it can just mean that I might have to have a c- section, which with twins is pretty common anyways!<br />
<br />
The twins are a really great size, they are the each the size of where a single baby would be right now, which means they are REALLY big for twins, so the doctor was quite pleased with this. I felt like perhaps I was getting big a bit fast but when I heard this news, I knew it was all for a great cause! I will continue to work on growing some big babies!<br />
<br />
They aren't just making their presence known by increasing my ever growing bump, I feel them move around a lot! It is like a twitch or flutter, not really a full on kick, but that will happen soon. I can't wait to see the look on Rhett's face when he feels these little miracles for the first time!<br />
<br />
We still pinch ourselves and are so excited our miracles are doing well, we can't wait to meet them soon. As always thanks for your love and support. We can't wait to share the gender reveal with you on March 2nd! <br />

So I am supposed to be blogging every week and posting a pic every week, but that hasn't really happened. I am feeling a lot better, am getting more of an appetite, just have been so tired! The little ones are growing a lot and I have been feeling a lot of stretching lately! <br />
<br />
Rhett and I have been busy getting our place ready for baby while I am still feeling okay. We have gotten rid of our guest room furniture and have a changing table, and a storage unit in the nursery so far! I have been looking at paint and we ordered the cribs, which should arrive next week! I know that I am doing everything way early, but figured if I am feeling motivated to do it, might as well! We are so excited to meet these little ones and are both so in love with them already!<br />
<br />
In March we have two showers! One here in the Chicagoland area on March 2nd and one in Cincy later in the month on March 16th. We are looking forward to sharing the genders of our little ones on March 2nd! It seems like time is just flying by, it is hard to believe that I am already 17 weeks! We feel so blessed and sometimes I still can't believe that our dream has finally come true!<br />
<br />
Love, <br />

The start of the second trimester! All has been going well with our sweet peas and they have been growing as have I! I have been still really tired, have still had some nausea and headaches, but have finally stopped throwing up and am able to eat! Woo Hoo. Unfortunately, I have a lot of aversions to food and there isn't a lot that sounds good, so when I have a craving for something, darling Rhett makes sure I get it! <br />
We are so thrilled that everything is still going so well and we are excited to find out the genders in about another month or so. We have begun our registry, which is a bit overwhelming, babies sure need a lot of stuff, especially when there are two! Thanks for everyones prayers and thoughts, and well wishes! <br />

So this year I am keeping it simple. Blog more. I logged in today and saw the last time I posted was November 30, more than a month ago. For those of you that have facebook, you have seen some of my updates on there, but I know not everyone is on facebook and so I vow to try to blog more often.<br />
<br />
This past week I turned 12 weeks! This was such a blessing. I had an ultrasound yesterday and everything looked perfect. I feel so lucky to be at the 3 month mark and to have these precious little, healthy babies growing inside me!<br />
<br />
The past three months have been filled with joy, morning sickness, exhaustion, and excitement. Rhett and I are so over the moon and are so excited for this summer when we get to meet our precious little ones. <br />
<br />
Many people have asked, and yes, we are going to find out the genders. Both of us feel it is a boy and a girl, but those suspicions will be confirmed at our 20 week ultrasound. We haven't planned anything yet, but would like to have a gender reveal party in which we have the doctor place the genders in two envelopes and we give the envelopes to a baker ( or my friend Christa, if she still wants to, haha)to make cakes with the appropriate blue or pink insides and we will cut the cakes among our family and friends and find out together. We can't wait to find out, we are going to happy with whatever they are, we are just hoping for two, healthy, big, babies!<br />
<br />
We spent Christmas at home in Cincy with my family and enjoyed many good laughs, good food, and relaxation. Poor Rhett received a gift he wishes he could return... a nasty cold. My mom was sick as well too. Fingers, crossed, I have been okay so far.<br />
<br />
I hope that all of you had a Merry Christmas and hope that 2013 is the most wonderful year yet, Rhett and I are sure it will be our best year ever!<br />
<br />
Love,<br />

This Thanksgiving, Rhett and I have two very special, very little people to be thankful for, our precious little sweet peas that are snuggling up inside mommy. I always hoped and prayed for the day that God would bless us with a child, and it was well worth the wait, as He gave us a double blessing. I thank God every night for this amazing gift that has been bestowed upon us. We truly feel like the luckiest people in the world!<br />

We had our ultrasound last Thursday that showed our precious little ones (this week the size of two little lentil beans) and it was the coolest moment ever! Right away we saw the gestational sacs with their little yolks pop right up! We were over the moon with joy, relief, and love! Since then I have been overjoyed, exhausted, and nauseous, but I will take anything this pregnancy brings, as I am just so happy I feel like nothing can let me down!<br />
<br />
Rhett of course, has been amazing. Doing everything, cooking, cleaning, taking care of the boys (I think he's ready for a yard) and getting me anything my heart desires. I look at how well he takes care of me and I feel so blessed to know these babies are going to have the most amazing father in the world.<br />
<br />
On Thanksgiving we are headed to my brother and sister and law's house and I can't wait to hang out with them and play with my adorable lil niece, Lucy. She will be an amazing cousin to our little sweet peas. The day after Thanksgiving will be filled with more celebration, as Rhett and I have our second ultrasound appointment in which we see the little heartbeats! We can't wait!<br />
<br />
We hope all of you have a wonderful Thanksgiving!<br />
