Oh how they grow up...

So....its been a while since our last update, which is not to say that things haven't changed! We spent a great week over July 4th with Josh's family at the beach in St. Simon's Island, GA and then MH and Ben stayed in Chapin, SC with her family for a little over a week at the lake (while Josh slaved away in Flagstaff...).

As I think I mentioned, the twins have been doing a lot of growing over the last month or so since our last update, as you can probably tell from the ultrasound photos below. The one immediately below is from just before our vacation on June 25th with one image of each of the twins. The one below them is the most recent picture, which captures both in one picture, sort of. It has the head of one (on the left) and the feet of the other (on the right). Hopefully this last picture isn't indicative of the fact that they will have the same amount of photogenically as their father...


Similarly, MH has also been doing some growing to keep up with the twins and is now in her 15th week of pregnancy (almost half way there!). Before vacation, she had only gained 2 pounds and the Dr. mentioned gaining some more weight. We figured a vacation in the Southeast should do the trick. She got back and had put on 8 pounds. That comes from all the meals where she ate and then went back for more, because it was "now time to feed the twins." Doc said to keep it up. The most recent picture of the baby-mamma is below.

We have another appointment on the 4th of August where we hope to find out the sex of the babies. If not, it will not be until the end of August. Keep your fingers crossed that everyone is in the right position.



About Me

My photo
I am a stay-at-home mom with 3 kids, one boy and twins (girl/boy) and an amazing supportive husband. My time without my kids is now spent cooking, working on my lamps(see Evolve It Lighting @ Facebook), partnering with a friend running our Amazon store (Crazy Bananas AZ), writing children's books and dabbling in interior design/refurbishing furniture with whoever will let me into their house. I am truly blessed and at a great turning point in my life!! Looking forward to what lies ahead.
