The BIG news

Yes it is BIG news. Everything about this is BIG, including on how BIG I am going to get. It is true I am pregnant! Hooray! We have all been (well Brad and I, because the kids didn't know for quite awhile) really excited. We felt so good about the timing of this baby and felt like this was probably going to be my last pregnancy- due to health and c-sections. I coaxed Brad into going to my 1st appointment with me. I don't think he has gone since Ryker. He really didn't see a need to go, but I pushed it and he came. I am so glad he did. He showed up right as they were starting my ultrasound. The ultrasound technician says with a big smile on her face,"Are you ready to see your babies?" "Yes, wait hold on there, DID YOU SAY BABIES?" That is right folks I am having TWINS! What a shocker. I don't think Brad would have believed me if he wasn't there himself. He thought she was doing some mirror image thing on the baby to make it look like two. He was in denial for a little while. We know they are fraternal twins and am 12 weeks along. My due date was right after Potato harvest ends, so we were both happy, then they go on to tell us I will probably go a lot earlier than that. So these babies may come in the thick of things around here. The kids have known for about a month now and we have finally let them tell. So now everyone in Rexburg knows. Ryker shared the news with his whole class today. The kids are thrilled. Brad and I are finally recovering a little from the shock and go through spurts of excitement and terror. I told you I was going to get BIG!!!!

Brynlee's 2nd Birthday (way back in Jan)

Life seems to have gotten away from me and I did not want to forgot to journal Bryn's 2nd birthday. We have really loved having Brynlee in our family. She is the Queen Bee around here. She loves playing kitchen and got a really cute play kitchen from Grama. She also was spoiled rotten by Aunts and Mom and Dad with lots of fun play food and appliances and an adorable apron. We had family over for cake and ice-cream. Happy Birthday sweet Girl. We love You!!
