September Update

It will not be too much longer before we are welcoming our two new little ones. This pregnancy has really breezed by for me. I guess because I am so busy with Elizabeth and Declan everyday. 


Elizabeth started Pre-K last week at Kitty Hawk United Methodist Church. She goes Monday - Thursday from 9am- 12pm. She LOVES school and her teachers Ms. Rose and Ms. Lori! She has also started back at Atlantic Dance with Ms. Victoria, for Ballet and Tap. All she talks about is getting a costume and dancing on stage again :)


Declan is really enjoying his alone time with me while his sissy is in school. He is always super excited to go get her from school though. I guess 3 hours a day without her is just enough alone time for him.


I am 34 weeks pregnant today. I was told yesterday by my OB, I am literally a ticking time bomb and these two could arrive any day now. Very exciting, yet really scary when we have been thinking Nov 1st at least. My OB doesn't like his multiple moms to go past 38 weeks so these two will be October babies. I'm just praying to make it past 36 weeks and go in labor on my own around 37-38 weeks. We'll see what these two have planned. As of now I have bi-weekly appointments. Mondays I go in for a NST (Non Stress Test). This is where they hook me up two a machine and monitor both babies and contractions. The test should only take 20 mins, but Baby B (girl) always manages to get away from the monitor or either Baby A (boy) likes to get in front of her or move her. I also go on Thursdays for another NST and my regular appointment and ultrasound to check heart beats, fluid level and growth. Right now both are heads down and all is well. They are growing great. At my 31 week growth scan they Estimated Baby A to be 4 lbs 3 oz and Baby B to be 4lbs 6 oz. I don't think I'll be having preemies by any means...lol. 


The kids are really excited for Fall. They have been begging for weeks now, that we get in the attic and pull down all our Fall/Halloween decorations. They are really excited to be picking out their costumes, getting ready for their new brother and sister and to go trick or treating.


Jeremy has been racing VXCS. This year hasn't been as great for him thanks to no time and quad issues. I do think he finally has worked out the kinks with the quad though. His last race for this year will be at the October (we're not positive if he will actually make that one though). He also picked up a YZ125 (dirt bike) to cross train on. The kids keep telling them they want dirt bikes to race also. Looks like they got the love of racing from him...lol. 

First post!

Finally my first post! I've had this account for well over 3 years, but have always been just a lurker and follower of other blogs.  I try to keep most of my family and friends updated with the things in our life via email, Facebook and photo sharing sites, but it has just gotten to be too much for me here recently. So where to begin, maybe a catch up for those who are new or have just been out of touch for awhile.

Jeremy and I just celebrated our 8th Wedding Anniversary on May 3rd. It's crazy how fast those 8 years have flown by and how our lives have changed soooooooooo much in those 8 years.

Our first born, Elizabeth turned 4 on April 2nd. We had a nice joint party for her and her brother at Children at Play (Children's Museum) with mostly family and a few friends. Elizabeth has just started attending her preschool. She has one week left, then she will graduate to the 4 year old class. She loves school and her new teachers and friends. I'm sure she will be heart broken when she realizes she is out for the summer. She also has been attending Ballet and Tap classes since September 2010 and her first recital  will be the first weekend in June!

 Our Little man Declan, just turned 2 on April 19th.  He is not scared of anything, quite the daredevil and has an awesome personality and sense of humor. He had been attending Kindermusik on Thursdays and really loves music and instruments. 

We found out at the end of February that we were expecting again. I had my first appointment on March 28th and found out via the u/s that we are expecting TWINS!!!! We were both very shocked, but at the same time we are happy and feel so blessed. 

My due date we are going with November 1st, but I will say Nov 4th before I even consider myself "due". The second u/s I had at almost 14 weeks (May 2nd) had them measuring being "due" October 25th. Baby A is quite the show boat and has no issues showing it's self. Baby B likes to keep it's back to us or lay on it's side.

I had been battling with my allergies for well over a month, but ended up with a sinus infection. I dealt with the pain for 3 days before I finally got an appointment with my OB. When I got there I got an awesome surprise.......a u/s to check the heart beats! To my surprise we were able to tell that Baby A is in fact a BOY! Baby B was still being modest, but we believe B is a Girl. We saw no identifiable boy parts , but judging by the heart beats being so similar 140 and 146, my OB is not ruling out B may be a boy also....so even though B looks like a girl....we will wait  little longer before we start buying anything pink.

Baby B - possible Girl

Well this pretty much sums us up right now! Hopefully I will stay consistent with updating.
