Update...


We are growing soooo fast now. I go to the doctor on the 10th and after that I go every other week and then eventually once a week. I have an ultrasound scheduled so hopefully I can put some updated pics of the babies on our blog. By the way, we came up with names...ready?...Sean Xavier and Alexa Joy...Greg and I both finally agreed and when we saw the 3D pics the names seemed to fit. They move soooo much now. I feel like they are arm wrestling in there sometimes. Sleeping is becoming more and more difficult. I have developed carpal tunnel syndrome in both hands. Writing, typing, cutting, eyebrow plucking etc. have all become very difficult. I seem to drop things all the time. I hear it should go away afterwards, but there is no way I could confidently hold a newborn baby right now. That is really my only complaint. I am 27.5 weeks and we would love to go to 37 weeks. Keep us in your prayers please. I am trying to finish an externship. My last day is July 25th and then goodbye grad. school!!! I may be put on bedrest in early August. We will see what my doc says next week.
P.S. This picture was taken about a week and a half ago. Those are my friends Becky and Vania. The babies really liked to kick them. :)

Babies in 3D...oh ya, and...I PASSED!!!!




I passed my exam!!!! Thank you for the prayers and thoughts. I can't believe it, I actually passed!!


Now that I got that out, here are the most recent pictures of the twins. They are each a little over 1 pound and are sooooo active. We can't wait to meet them.

Okay...here is big momma...


I finally decided to add a picture. Here I am at 22 weeks, no makeup and extremely tired. These babies are kicking all of the time now and Greg has been able to feel them for the first time this week. He is sooooo excited and I am soooooo exhausted...and excited :).
We get our 3D and 4D sono on Thursday. We can't wait. We still don't have any names picked out so if anyone has any ideas...we are listening. It is hard picking out two names.
Thank God tomorrow is Memorial Day so, hopefully we will get some rest.
I promise I will get better at blogging...V

Here it goes....

I leave in 15 minutes to go and take, hopefully, the last major exam I will ever take in my life. It is amazing how one day can make you feel like it's life or death...but I am being ridiculous because it is just ONE day, one test and I have the rest of my life to live and be successful. Plus, I will be taking on a new job soon, Mommy, and I don't think that there is any test or class to prepare me for that. So...NESPA...here I come!! Wish me luck. V

Finally...

I finally have time to sit at my computer and blog. I haven't posted any pictures of my growing belly yet...well... because we haven't taken any yet. Are we already horrible parents? I've always been really bad about not taking enough pictures. I need to learn, from B, how she does that. Do you walk around with a camera 24/7. All of Jillian's pictures are so good. You'd make a wonderful paparrazi person. :) Hmmmm...new career?

I've probably seen Greg a total of two hours per night this week because of my classes and him working late (playing golf.) But who can blame him we have had some perfect golf weather (besides the tornadoes). I am sure we will be playing this weekend.

Anyway, I can imagine that in the next few weeks I won't be able to write or post on here too much because I have my HUGE NATIONAL LICENSURE exam on April 26. I am requesting for prayers for my performance on this test. #1 It is 120 questions in 120 minutes. Yikes!!! #2 They don't let you leave once you have started the test and with two babies pushing on my bladder...we'll see! #3 I haven't taken a test like this in 5 years! So prayers would be nice. :)

I will try my hardest to get a picture of my "babies bump" on here this weekend. Remember I am new to this so bare with me. Have a good one!!! V

Here they are...

Here are the babies. Our boy is baby A (top). He is head down and just loves to kick...hmmm? future soccer star? I can barely feel him but sometimes I do. We know 100% that he is a boy. He was 4oz. and a little over 5 inches long on Tuesday. You should have seen Greg's smile when we found out about him. We can't wait to meet him.

This is our baby girl (bottom). She was very good at posing for the camara. In this profile picture she is sucking her thumb (reminds me of her Tio Ben already...) We are about 85% sure she is a girl. She is also 4 oz. and over 5 inches long. She moved alot during the sonogram as well. She even looked like she was trying to talk to us by opening and closing her mouth. I also feel her move every now and then. Greg also had a huge grin on his face when we found out about her.

We are officially 15 weeks tomorrow. I am tired, starting to get big and moving is not as easy as it was. By Fridays I have almost no energy. I work all week and then go to class Tuesday and Wednesday nights. It has been rough! I want to send a shout out to Brittney P. who started this blog for me. Thanks B!! I gotta go walk my other baby, Diego, while I still can. Take care and I hope you like the pictures. V

What is this exactly???

Well, I am very slowly learning the what, who, how, when, where and everything about a blog...Is it a noun as in "I have a blog or read my blog," or a verb as in "I am blogging or I need to sit and blog for a while?" I am so confused. Anyway, I hope I am doing this right...we'll see. I will have to return to this blog thing after class tonight so...stay tuned. :)
