Wow it has been a long time since I blogged! Everyone is probably used to it though :) Sorry I am such a slacker but it never seems like much is going on over here. I decided to do a quick update on Claire and show a belly pic so everyone can see how the twins are doing.

In the fall we took Claire to the Union Station to see the trains. She LOVES trains or Choo choo's as she calls them. Whenever she see's a train she says "My Choo Choo!" She had so much fun seeing all of the big trains up close.

Claire has a new found love for Snow White. The funniest part about this is that her favorite part of the movie Snow White is the 'Scary Witch'. She is always so concerned when the 'Scary Witch' isn't part of the scene and I have to tell her just to be content with watching Snow White. So funny that she likes the creepiest parts of the show!

Claire is now 2 and is so big! She loves Mickey Mouse Clubhouse so we had a Mickey Mouse party. In this pic she is standing in front of the game we played, put the bow on Minnie. Claire is growing so fast! Her talking has really taken off. She knows all her numbers 1-12 (thanks to our clock that we practice on at breakfast), she can recognize almost all of the major colors, and she even knows a lot of shapes. She is so much fun and is so smart! Her favorite game is playing 'I Spy'. It was a good game to distract her at the store and in the car but now it seems like she wants to play it all the time! She even requests it when she is in bed falling asleep! We are running out of things to spy!

Here is Claire in her super cute halloween costume. Of course she was Minnie Mouse. I wish I had a pic from Halloween night because she had wiskers and eyelashes drawn on her face but those pics are on Grandma's camera.

And last but certainly not least here is a prego pic taken about a week ago at 25 1/2 weeks. I am now almost 27 weeks and feeling great! I am very full of babies but they are growing well. I know a lot of you are thinking that I am not very big for only having 10 weeks left and being prego with twins. I get this a lot. Even my OB forgets that there are twins in there. I guess I just carry them all on the inside. My grandma had twins and they didn't know there were two babies until she was delivering. I always wondered how a doctor could miss something like that but if she carried her twins like me then I can understand how if could be mistaken for one baby.

Well, our family is doing great and the time is fast approaching when we will become a family of five! I am so excited to meet these two babies but getting more nervous each day for that newborn stage! I know we will survive but life will be hectic.

It's a.........

Its a GIRL and a BOY!! We went to the Dr yesterday and both babies are growing well! We are so excited to have one of each, we just hope it doesn't change :) He was pretty sure he got a good look but we will check again in 4 weeks. I hope it stays the same but I just want two healthy babies. Here is one of the ultrasound pics. I am pretty sure this is our boy because he is up higher and we could get better shots of him. It is crazy to see how squished they are in there already!

Fun News!

So this has been a long time coming and I know almost everybody knows the news by now but I didn't want to officially post about it until we had made it to 12 weeks. So here we are almost at 13 weeks and we have TWO very cute and very healthy little babies that are developing well! We will be having twins sometime in the middle of February and are very excited and nervous about it! We aren't sure of the genders yet but in 4 weeks we will know! Alot is about to change in our life but it is deffinitely for the better. I will keep everyone posted on Dr's appointments and things and on my huge belly that will soon be developing! I always hesitate posting the ultrasound pics but with twins I couldn't help it! I think it is so neat! I know they are hard to see but if you squint your eyes enough you might be able to convince yourself that there are two babies! They are just hanging out, one sitting on top of the other. Their heads are both on the left side of the picture.

1 year anniversary, of GRADUATION!!!

With graduation last weekend I was reminded of my own graduation last year. I can't believe I have been graduated for a whole year! The time has flown by! I never posted my pics last year because I was new to the Blogging world so I decided to commemorate the mile stone by posting them now! I look at me and Claire and I can't believe we survived the experience together! I want to thank my wonderful family for watching my sweet daughter and helping me keep my sanity! I couldn't have finished school without the love and support of my great hubby, my family, my friends, and my professors. Thank you all for helping me to accomplish something great. I love you all! (You may not be able to tell but Claire has a cute Wildcat Onsie on to show her school spirit!)

(***Hey friends, if you have any pics of us from the front I would love you forever!)

Easter and Zacks B-day!

This was Claire's 2nd Easter and it was so fun since she could actually walk and participate in the Easter egg hunts! She loved finding eggs and carrying them around in her basket.On the drive to Grandma and Grandpa Green's house we hear Claire laughing in her car seat and turn around to find this: She thought she was so funny! We couldn't stop laughing! She wore her basket around her neck pretty much the whole 20 minute drive to their house. She is such a goof ball!

Here she is on Easter Sunday ready to leave for church. She wouldn't stand up so this was the best picture I got. I love the faces she pulls. I wish I had taken one without her sweater but we were about to leave and it was freezing that day! I took this picture today but I loved it so I had to post it. Her hair is finally growing and I was able to get it into pig tails today. I was trying to get pictures of it but she decided playing hide and seek was more fun!Last but not least, It was Zack's 28th birthday yesterday! We went out to dinner and then had his family over for cake and ice cream. This is Zack holding the beautiful cake I made :) Happy Birthday Zack! We Love you!
