sleeping at the table

Yesterday my mom and dad watched Avery for me while I went to the Dr.. We came home to pick her up and this is what we found. She had been eating pizza and fell asleep at the table. I guess she had tried to put her face right in her plate first, but then my dad went back and got a pillow for her to sleep on. She was completely out of it. I laughed so hard. Thanks for watching her for me mom and dad!!

No new news really on the baby front. We're still just waiting for them to arrive, which could be any day. The non stress test I took yesterday went really well, they were moving like crazy. Baby A, the lowest baby, is head down and staying there, so no C-section will be planned, YAY!! I will let you all know when they arrive. Hope you all have a Merry Christmas! I'll be putting up some Christmas pictures after Christmas day. We've already had a few Christmases, and have a couple left to go, so I don't want to have to do 10 different blogs lol.

Finally a Christmas tree!

On Monday when I was in Yakima, I finally picked up a Christmas tree. I wanted to get a small one to put on the table because I didn't want to have to deal with a lot of decorations, putting up and taking down a Christmas tree while I'm so hugely pregnant lol. We found a cute little tree, of course when we got it home and put it in the stand it wouldn't stand straight at all, but oh well. I'm just glad we finally have a little more Christmas cheer in our house!! Avery is very happy. Ever since people started putting up Christmas lights on houses she yells every time we pass one and says "Pretty lights!!". So now she has her own pretty lights in her house. We also got a chance to go outside and play in the snow a bit. It was cold, but not quite as cold as it has been here. She loved it. It's snowing now, we'll see how much we have to play in tomorrow! And yes, I can't believe I got two blogs up in one day too... it's amazing.

New Snow Jacket

We got this coat for Avery a while back figuring we'd need a warm jacket for winter. She's been wearing it a lot more lately, obviously, but what's funny is that she wants to wear it in the house all the time, that and her new snow boots. That coat is really warm, you'd think she would fry in it, but she doesn't care.

She's actually wearing her rain boots in this picture, but whatever works. She just likes boots in general lol. I don't think we'd bought the new snow boots yet when I took these pictures.

Belly picture, and two hicks

I have had a few people ask me to put up some belly pictures. Here is the most recent. I would like you to all know I am being very brave putting this up, because I have one of the ugliest pregnant bellies in the world lol. I am 33 weeks and doing great. Sleep has been quite a bit better the last few days. I'm still uncomfortable, but I'm pretty sure I can expect that to stay the same until these kiddos arrive. I've been a little concerned the last week or so because I don't feel baby b move hardly as often as baby a, but today baby b is making feel a lot better by dancing around in there quite a bit!! So here it is, the babies belly.





Secondly, I was at Katy's house yesterday, and Avery and Joey were wearing these cowboy hats around. Just thought it was a cute picture. I tell you what, these kids get into so much trouble!!! spitting milk all over the place, breaking Katy's christmas ornaments, turning on the tub and getting their clothes all wet... they are going to cause so much trouble when they get older!

November stuff

So I know I've been terrible about blogging, but I really haven't felt like sitting on the computer!! So I thought I'd get on here real quick and post a couple pictures from last month. Just to keep everybody updated on how everything else is going, here's a little info. I've been goign to the Dr. every two weeks. Everything is looking great, I'm feeling miserable lol, but the babies are right where they are supposed to be. I just found out at my Dr. apt. yesterday that baby A (the lowest baby) is finally head down, woo hoo!! So that means I most likely won't have to have a C section. They are moving around like crazy, and growing fast. I think it's pretty crowded in there. I have another ultrasound scheduled for Dec. 22 to make sure they are in a good position and check their growth, until then I am going to start going to the Dr. every week and he's making me go to the hospital everytime I go see him to have a non-stress test done just to make sure the babies are doing fine.

Other then that, Chad and Avery are doing great. Avery has no idea what is in store for her real soon, but she's been really good with Katy's baby Eli, and so I'm hoping she's going to be really good with our two new ones. She's feeling a little left out I think because I can't lift her up anymore, but she's getting lots and lots of attention from her daddy which has helped a ton. Chad has been able to be home a lot, and he's been awesome. It's a good time of year to have twins that's for sure!! Thanks to everybody for your prayers, looks like they are working. Can't wait to show everybody pictures of the twins!! Just a few more weeks to go.

Ultrasound pictures!

These are ultrasound pictures taken this last Monday. I am 28 weeks and doing just fine. Babies look healthy and are growing!! Can't wait to actually see them outside of my belly :). This is Baby A. This baby is slightly larger then Baby B. If you can't tell what you're looking at, it's a profile picture. The baby's head is on the left facing up.

This is baby B (slightly smaller then Baby A). This is another profile picture. The baby's head is on the right and facing up. It's a little tougher to see the nose because there is a little hand behind the face that fogs up the profile a little bit.

Pumpkin Patch and Halloween Fun

This last week was a busy one! On Wednesday Avery and I went to the pumpkin patch with Mom, Charlie, Dan, Heidi, and all their crew. We had lots of fun, but it did take a little bit to get Avery into it, but she ended up really having a good time. Then on Friday it was Halloween!! Avery dressed up as a kitty cat. She was so excited that morning when I showed her her halloween costume. She wanted to be in it all day. We went to Katy and Mike's and went trick or treating over there, then went back to their house where my mom had set up a whole spooky set up with a cauldren and everything. Mike and her had also set up some really cool stuff in the garage for the kids to play with. There was a pinata, pin the stem on the pumpkin, and tons more. It was a lot of fun!! But we were definitely ready to go home when the day was over.

Avery threw a fit when we first got to the pumpkin patch. She threw herself on the floor and was screaming and yelling. Of course I had to take a picture, what a wonderful mother I am...

When we finally got outside she was a little happier. She got to ride on the duck.

Next we took a hayride out to the pumpkin patch.

This was the first pumpkin she picked up, but not the one we ended up taking. It was a little yucky on the other side.

Here's her cheesy smile. The pumpkin next to her is the one she picked out.

Then there was the straw maze. She did really good actually. I didn't have to help her too much. She just followed the other kids.

Here's her and Maddy. They had fun together.

Here's her kitty outfit. I was surprised she didn't rub the face makeup all over her face in the first fifteen minutes lol.

Who is this lady?? She wasn't scared, surprisingly. She was just super curious.

Avery and Joe were more interested in destroying the pumpkins then knocking down the pins I think. The pumpkins didn't last very long after they got ahold of them.
