Our gifts

Ryan and I always feel very lucky for a lot of things...however in the last 6 months we feel extra blessed and a little wowed by some news we received back in the fall. We are expecting twins! We were just as surprised/thrilled/overwhelmed as the rest of our family by the news! Life for us is about to change drastically! The news has settled in more and it feels more real as the countdown begins. Our due date is April 19 but more then likely our two packages will arrive in mid-March. This past fall was physically rough for me. I did not(and at times still) feel well. I was down and out for a long while and it was all I could do to function for Dalby. She was SOOOOOO good and adjusted quite well to graham cracker snacks on the couch, lots of time spent in the bathroom and more TV then she or I had ever watched. Dalby did a great job of just playing and entertaining herself as I lay on the couch. Below is a picture of her in the bathroom. I took this actually when I was feeling better and was cleaning out the bathroom cabinets but this picture shows perfectly what she would do as we both sat in the bathroom. Dalby would just make several trips to the toy room, bring the toys she wanted to play with and then sit down and play in the bathroom :) Everything is going better now, although I have slowed down considerably because I am the size of a full term pregnant woman. Ryan has been home for the past few weeks and he is wonderful at coming home and taking over. I have had a doctor's appointment every Monday since the New Year and all is looking great. The baby boy is 2lbs 9oz and the baby girl is 2lbs. :)

The first ultrasound where we and the doctor were stunned to see two babies growing in my belly!
