Its a Boy....and A Surprise!



We were so excited to go to my ultrasound and find out the flavors of our little peanuts. Well.... It didn't quite turn out like i would have liked. We did discover however, that our kids are already being difficult :) I am kidding.... well kind of. My parents say its just payback already, but we had one baby that would not hold still so the tech had to beat my stomach to make it stay still. We barely were able to see that it was a rambunctious little boy! And the other baby was being difficult and hiding behind my belly button. Apparently ultrasounds cannot travel through air, and there is an air pocket behind the belly button which the picture cannot travel through. We had the technician and the doctor try to make the baby move out from behind my belly button, but no luck. So just to torture their mom.... I will have to wait another 3 weeks to find out what we are having with our other child. Fortunately, i am posting this late, and will know in about 10 days...if they cooperate this time. Because one baby was hiding and was was a wiggle worm, We didn't get any good pictures either. The only good one was this one where can see both babies together. I really like the twin pics. I think it is fun to see them both together. We are very excited to be expecting a little boy. Eldon really wanted to have a little boy, so we know we at least got one, so he is pretty happy about that. We are hoping the other baby is a little girl so we can have the best of both worlds, but we will be happy with 2 little boys as well! I just want to know! As for me, sorry I don't have a belly picture to post. I just haven't taken one, but i will update soon. My belly is definitely sticking out. My co-workers make fun that all of a sudden, I just popped out and am very apparently pregnant and getting bigger each week, and that i already have the pregnancy waddle. Well, to my defense, i am glad to look preggo, much better than just looking like i am getting fat! And the waddle is only at the end of the day, when i am tired from working all day and my muscles under my tummy are tired. Life has been a lot easier for me lately. Still not a fairytale by any means, but the morning sickness is finally under control for the most part, and i have been back to work for over a month, so that is definitely positive. I am very tired each day, so my bedtime has been moved to before nine...lame I know, but oh well. I am starting to feel movement, so that is really fun and been the best part of this pregnancy so far. We are really excited and glad that everyone is healthy and things are going good, and we are just waiting for the next ultrasound so the planning can really begin!

I am so excited for both of you! I'd love to see you once we get there, and actually meet you Stef. It feels weird that I haven't even met you but I'm sure we will like each other ;)

Hang in there. I cannot wait to hear what you are having too!

I am so voting for twin boys! It will just make life so much more simple! I'm glad things are going well!

That's exciting, but frustrating too. It's like you look forward to the day when you get to know so you can buy things and plan and then they say oh we can't tell. Bummer. Hope he/she corroperates next time! Glad you are doing good too!

I'm happy you updated, even though there's no picture of you. I had been wondering how things were going and was going to give you a call once we got back from vacation. Glad to hear you and the mystery mix are doing better.

Congrats on the little boy! Don't you just love the uncooperative baby? Elysse took 3 seperate ultrasounds (3 months in a row) to find out that she was indeed a little girl!
Being super tired is totally normal too, especially when you're still working. I remember coming home from work when I was pregnant with Raegan and just passing out in the recliner right after dinner, it was pathetic!! Oh well, your body needs rest so just sleep!!

Little boys are the best! Congrats. I'm glad to hear you are doing well. We can't wait to hear what baby ??? will be!

That's exactly what happened to us!! At our 16 week appt, we found out one was a boy for sure (really sure!) and they thought the other "might" be a girl...but they weren't sure. Well, at 19 weeks, we found out they were both boys. Either way will be awesome!!!

Yay, that is so great; I hope things are working smoothly. I spoke with Jenny, so I can't wait to see another update with totally awesome news about how awesome things are going! Good luck and keep up the good work! :)
