13 Weeks

Well it is official, I am now 13 weeks along.  My babies are the size of a peach.  I can't even believe it. 

Christmas was so much fun.  We came home Christmas night and exchanged gifts with Jesse's parents.  They were so excited about our announcement.  Barb immediately started calling her friends to share the news.  The following morning we were able to tell Becky and Jake.  They too were very excited. 

On the 28th Lisa and her family came to Logan and we did pictures of the kiddos.  They were so cute.  The following day Isaac broke out with a rash, so Thursday they took him to the doctor to find out that he has fifths disease.  The only people who are at risk are pregnant woman, and only 24 hours before symptoms appear.  Of course, that 24 hour period included Tuesday.  I immediately went in to my doctor to have my blood drawn to make sure that I don't have the disease.  The people in the doctors office were so nonchalant about it that I had my first official pregnancy melt down.  After talking to Shawn and Lisa, and doing some research of my own I felt way better about it.    I called today and the labs are not back yet, but I feel confident that everything will be just fine. 

I can't believe how fast time is going by now.  On news years eve we had our annual dinner with Jesse's family at Coppermill.  It was so good, and we had so much fun.  Then on the 1st we headed down to SLC for one last weekend with my sisters family before they went back to Virginia.  We had a lot of fun, hanging around visiting, playing with the kiddos, but that is not to say that Sunday was not hard.  Saying good-bye to my sister and her family was so hard.  We will not even get to see each other again until I have my sweet babies.  We were all crying and then Emma patted by belly and said, "good-bye babies."  My sister then also put her hand on my belly and could barely get the words out, "bye babies."  I am so sad that she will not be closer to me while we go through this, but with skype, this blog, facebook, email & dropbox I know she will experience it right along with me. 

Now I am trying to gear up for school to start next week.  Mornings are still rough for me, because I don't feel real good.  However I know I will get through it.  ONLY 2 MORE SEMESTERS!  I just have to keep telling myself that. 

Well not much more to update at this time.  My next doctors appointment is on the 12th, so I will update more then.
