19 Weeks - Thanksgiving

November 25, 2009 - We are now 19 weeks and tomorrow is Thanksgiving. We have my parents down from Anchorage and Katie and her boyfriend Chris coming in from Portland this evening. We are also joined by Chris' dog Moose and Billy's parents dog Ruger. So yes, that is 6 people and three dogs. We are looking forward to the big meal tomorrow and then just relaxing and hanging out. Oh, and we are just a little excited about finding out the gender of our babies on Saturday. But I almost forgot about that :) Last night was spent picking out nursery furniture. After much deliberation we decided to pick out two sets of furniture, one for girls and one for boys. It was just way too hard to agree on something gender neutral. It was a lot of work and hard decisions, but Billy was a trooper. And my parents so nicely offered to get us not one, but both cribs. We are so fortunate to have such generous family! Enjoy the pictures, as always, I am growing and growing. Happy Thanksgiving! And check back on Saturday for hopefully a video of the big moment!

18 Weeks

November 18, 2009 - So we are now officially 18 weeks along! Here are just a couple pictures of the ever growing belly and a token Doodle shot. I am also including my recent score at a children's second hand store, a double snap-n-go stroller. Their car seats just snap right on to the frame. I originally went in there to see if they had any maternity clothes (which of course they didn't have anything good), but was super excited to see that they had this stroller. It is basically only used for twins because their bucket car seats fit right on it. Billy spent this past long weekend hunting in Northern Idaho. Unfortunately he didn't shoot anything, but had a great time with his dad and brother. I continue to be busy at work with year end and the audit. That is about all for now.

17 Week Ultrasound

November 12, 2009 - The results are in! We had our 17 weeks ultrasound this week and now are the proud owners of a sealed envelope containing our babies gender! We haven't opened it yet, and won't know until the Saturday after Thanksgiving when we cut into a cake in front of our family and friends to see if it contains pink or blue frosting. Less than two weeks now! The appointment went very well and the babies look great. It was a quick appointment, so we don't have a ton of pictures. In another two weeks we will have a long ultrasound where they measure everything. We are hoping to get to see more of the babies and their movement then. So I actually had some luck this weekend with maternity clothes shopping. I will actually have some clothes that fit to wear to work this week. I was also able to get the babies some things at Baby Gap because I had a 30% of coupon. I got some onesies and pajamas, some socks and little hats. I had to get everything in pink and blue and will return one set in a couple weeks.

16 Weeks, Almost 17

November 9, 2009 - So I will technically be 17 weeks this week, but didn't quite get to posting last week. Billy was out of town in Tucson at his annual meeting and I have been busy with my year end and the audit. We think the babies are growing a ton as my belly seems to grow right before our eyes. I am quickly outgrowing a lot of my clothes, but luckily my coworker Jennifer just brought me a ton of maternity clothes today. Thanks Jennifer! Billy will be hunting this weekend, so I plan to go clothes shopping while he is gone. Hopefully I can find some descent things. We have our big ultrasound appointment on Thursday. We will technically "find out" the sex of our babies at that point, but will not really find out until the Saturday after Thanksgiving. For those of you not in Boise, check the blog then to hopefully see a video of us cutting the cake. I will hopefully learn how to add a video in the mean time, this whole blog thing is still pretty new to me. Oh, and Billy was really nice to me and took me to Babies R Us on Sunday and let me look and look and look some more. We think we have found some furniture that we like and have narrowed down our choices on car seats and strollers. Billy's parents and grandparents have so nicely offered to get us a stroller and car seats. Thanks Heyer Family! I haven't felt any movement yet, but should any time now. Enjoy the pictures!
