20 Weeks

I know I just barely posted, but I wanted to share the 20 week comparison.  Our baby boys are still the size of Mangos, but now they are 6.5 inches from head to butt and weigh 10 oz.  They must be Large Mangos!  CRAZY!!!!  Anyway, here is the comparison of the uterus.  It just kills me, but I sure do love these little guys.


Sometimes I still can't believe that there is 2 in there, but I sure can't wait to hold them both in my arms!

Blog Slacker

I can't believe that I have been such a slacker with my blog, especially considering all of the developments since my last post.  There has been such development of my little babies.  After the avocado stage they became turnips.  And this week they are the size of Mangos.  I freaking love Mangos.  Anyway, I better give the update now.

On February 5th Jesse and I drove down to Murray to Fetal Fotos.  We had scheduled an ultrasound there.  It was so exciting.  The first best thing was the gel for the belly.  It was warm.  Why don't doctors do that?  It is such a small thing, but so awesome!  Well during the ultrasound our little stinkers were not super cooperative.  After laying on both my side and poking at them for over 30 min we finally determined that one of our babies is a boy.  The other little one had the cord between its legs, so Fetal Fotos and their super awesome customer service offered to let us come back the next week.

On February 12th we returned to Fetal Fotos for our 2nd appointment.  On the drive down I lectured my little children about cooperating with the technician, so we did not have any confusion this time.  First thing while the tech was looking the little stinkers legs were crossed, however with a couple of little pokes.....SPREAD EAGLE!  Both of our children were very cooperative through the remaining ultrasound.  And guess what....they are both boys. 

I was so excited to finally have a confirmation of what my little boys were that I went out the next day shopping with my good friend Kami.  We spent all day hitting the clearance sales and really got a ton of good stuff. 

Now all we need to do is get the nursery going, so it is ready when they arrive.  We have to paint, carpet and decorate.  But I already have a game plan, it is just a matter of getting it going. 

Well, I think that is all of the updating that I have for now.  My boys are doing so good.  I even think that I was playing with one of them last night.  I felt a small tap tap, and then it happened again.  So then I started poking at the tap, and he would tap back.  It only lasted about 10 min, but I will never forget the first time I got to play with one of my boys.  It is crazy how much I already love them.  I just can't wait to see them.
