Christmas Lights

This last weekend we were planning on going to the parade of lights in downtown with some good friends of ours but we ended up running late and didn't make it so instead we went to downtown Littleton and we ended up having a great time! It was so pretty. Madison loves horses and Christmas lights and got to see both. We also sat on Santa's lap and had hot chocolate. We LOVE the Christmas season!!!!

One Baby

We did another ultrasound and we just saw one little bugger. The midwife said that unless the other one was hiding really well behind his sibling it was just one so we are banking on the one thing. Its kind of a relief. Life sure does throw you some surprises in life.

Twins???

Oh gosh, this has been a little bit of a stressful week so far. I went into the midwife yesterday for a regular check-up. The last time I went in Ann (the midwife) couldn't find the baby's heartbeat but wasn't worried about it and this week when she couldn't find it yet again she figured she should do an ultra sound but of course its a really old machine. After putting the goop on my tummy she says, "It's twins, just kidding" then a few seconds later she says "Oh my @#^*, It is twins". She saw two heartbeats for a bit and then couldn't find the second heartbeat. She isn't positive but there is a possibility that I am expecting twins. They also were thinking that I was fourteen weeks along and I am really only ten. This pregnancy I am sick when I never have been before, I am always really tired, I am already showing, I think these could be signs that it is twins, we'll see I guess. I find out for sure next week but it has been driving me crazy not knowing. I wasn't going to tell anyone until we found out for sure but now I cant stop thinking about it and the implications it will have on me and our family. Jeff and I will be married for just barely three years and have four kids and they will all be 2 1/2 and under. Life will really change if it's twins, having another baby will be change enough but two?

ZOO!

Last week there was a free day at the Denver Zoo and Jeff was able to take some time off so we took the girls to the Zoo. Of course Samantha didn't really care too much but Maddie and her Daddy loved it. Maddie can now tell you what a tiger says, what a bird says and what a cow says.

ELMO!!!

Madison is obsessed with ELMO. We bought her some Elmo panties a few weeks ago to help her to prepare for potty training and ever since then she walks around the house snuggling her "elmo's". She likes to wear them over her diaper, pajamas or clothes and she points them out to anyone who will look at them. "elmo" is probably our least favorite word now.

Ginger!

"Aunt" Ginger came to visit a couple of weeks ago. Dad had to go out of town for a youth conference so it was just us girls. We sure did have fun!

BIG NEWS

We are finally out with it! We are expecting! My due date is April 30th. We tried to keep it a secret for a while but it never seems to work with us so after a week or two we tell everyone. Jeff is rooting for a boy this time but if its a girl it wont be that big of a deal because his girls have him wrapped around their little fingers. We will have three kids 2 and a 1/2 and under. We will be busy for sure!
