Sugar and Spice and Everything Nice!!

TWO GIRLS!!! We had our big ultrasound on Wednesday and I was so surprised to find out that we are having two little girlies! I was pretty sure that I was going to have boys but that just goes to show you how much motherly intuition I have. It was so much fun getting to see all their little body parts. The ultrasound alone took an hour and a half. The kiddos were making it really hard for the tech lady to keep them strait. She kept getting them mixed up about which was which but we got it all figured out in the end! I think it is still sinking in that we are having girls but I'm so so excited! We have been laughing about how boys are so easy because you just throw on some shorts and a t-shirt, give them a truck and they are pretty much set. With girls there are so many accessories! Tights, bows, bracelets, dolls etc, etc! I hope I'm up to the challenge! I keep thinking about trying to get two little girls, hair and all, ready for church and I'm pretty sure we will never ever be on time again! (Not that we ever are...) It will be so much fun and Jake said he is prepared to get on the floor and play dolls with his girls so I know he will be a great with them. (: My belly is growing so much every day. I'm pretty sure I'm the same size now that I was when I had Owen and I still have about half way to go. Yikes! They are moving around tons and its our favorite thing to just sit and watch my belly jump and laugh. Owen still doesn't know whats coming but he has it down pat that we pray for Daddy, Mommy, Owie, and the babies every night. He will be a great big brother and I'm glad my girls have someone to look out for them as they grow up. (:
So my Mom, my sister Nic, and her three little girls came to visit the same day we got our big news and it was so fun to have them here. We pretty much just hung out but that is what we do best in Wyoming!
Chillin in the wagon. Halle got the raw deal sitting in the back. The ride obviously got too relaxing for Owen and Vienna.
We had a great idea for a photo op but the kids just did not want to cooperate!
Tubby time for the little greasers!

Me and Nic were always "the little girls" in our fam and now I'm going to have my own set of "little girls". I love how Tynlee is accentuating my tummy. (:

Owen is getting used to being out numbered!


Crashing after a fun-filled week. He is so BIG! We love having fam come to visit and can't wait for next time!

P.S. Jake and I bought a house and we finally get to close and move in this coming week! Yea! It has some quirks we are going to have to take care of but we are really excited to be in our very own little home Wohoo!

  3. Congratulations! I absolutely love having a girl. It is so fun! My sister-in-law has twin girls that are Jenna's age and it is way fun. She said the first two months were pretty hard, but it is getting fun now.
