And My Favorite.... The picture that told us they were girls...

Baby Girl Butts & Legs... So cute! I tried to write on the pic with a pink marker but that didn't work out to well with the scanner... They were basically sitting on top of the camera for this picture.

Memories From Today!

(Brians in the background looking at his three girls..so sweet)

• Getting "sick" on the way to our appointment because of those nasty pre natals... yuck!
  
• Brian & I watching the Golden Girls in Dr. Faro's office before our appointment
  
• Dr. Faro saying the word "girls" and knowing thats what was coming out of her mouth before and as she was saying it..my phychic ability is getting better all the time!!
• Their little "bootie" picture.. (coming soon and very cute)
• Brian's smile when she said they were girls
• My dad telling me to get ready because their going to be little ranch girls with him
• Getting my hair done today. A gift from my mom that I already had scheduled for after my Dr. appointment. Wonderful girly day from my mom, how fitting. 
• Brian hanging out with me at the salon while I got it done. We had fun talking about how many more salon days are on the way!
• Eating  sushi with no sushi in it for lunch..haha. Just seaweed, sticky rice, crunchy stuff, and eel sauce! Yummy but funny! 
• Taking my first pictures of my prego belly
• All of the wonderful and sweet comments from friends and family via email, facebook, text, and phone calls. I love you all thanks for making this such a special day for us!
• My blue bubble gum snow cone that a guy was selling at a store by our house.. nice treat!
• And of course my favorite TV shows that are on tonight..So You Think You Can Dance and BIG BROTHER 11. 

What a wonderful day thanks to all of your prayers!!! 

If you voted for GIRLS...YOU Were RIGHT!!!

Brian and I had our 16.5 week appt. today. First of all the babies looked great! Healthy and lovely.. Dr. Faro got some great pics of their feet, hands, heads, and butts, haha! Their weights were equal again and we don't have another appt. for 4 weeks. After that she said we'd be going every 2 weeks again until they deliver. My premonitions, mother intuition, or whatever you'd like to call it was right on. We found out we have two baby girls headed our way.. Baby A is looking to be our girlie girl as she was always center stage for the pictures and baby B (more like me its looking like) was quite laid back.. looking nice and comfortable! We still managed to get a few shots of her though. They both looked adorable to us and have grown so much in the past 5 weeks. I'll post their pics soon... Hope all is well with everyone thanks again for your prayers. Each one is making a difference every day in all four of our lives.

PS. I told Lola & Roxy they have sisters on the way. Brian's going to have a blast with all these females 

Week 14 Appointment

We had our 4th appointment this morning. No ultrasound, so no pictures for your viewing pleasure, but we did get to hear their heart beats and they sounded great! Both baby A & B's were very strong. Next visit which is July 30th we will find out if the babies are BOYS or GIRLS so get your votes in... lol. Hope you all have a good week!! 

Week 13: Can Anyone Throw Some Energy My Way?

People keep saying that your energy should start coming back during the second trimester. Well I've officially hit the 2nd trimester (although only by 1 week) and I can't find it anywhere!!! Everyone keeps asking me how I'm feeling, On the whole I have not been sick which is a blessing. I've had bouts of nausea, headaches, and some other minor stuff, but I will have to say that my biggest problem, and it is really starting to feel like a problem, is fatigue and lethargy. If I do anything at all... go out to lunch, go to a party, go to the store it takes all of the effort I have to get myself off the couch to even think about getting ready. For me, having “energy” in the 1st trimester meant having the ability to get off the couch and make it to the kitchen to get the ice cream instead of asking Brian or anyone else around to do it for me. I really don't have energy to think and work much less clean my house! I feel bad for Brian. I know he thinks I'm useless but he's been very very helpful and accommodating to my needs even while he goes to school. I just keep reminding him... "I'm growing OUR 2 babies" :) I feel lucky and blessed to have him he has been wonderful thus far. From what I've read about being pregnant with twins everyone says you get "pregnancy symptoms" x2. Thank God I haven't been sick x2 but tired x2 hands down I've gotten. Hopefully this "out of it" feeling won't last much longer... We have our next appointment on Monday please pray for equal weight babies just like last time. Love you all!!

Music Lovers

So in addition to our twins having no choice but to love traveling they can't help but love music and are destined to be rockers..lol ;) Brian & I live for music and the other day we started thinking about the fact that the twins have, technically already been to 3 concerts!!! I can't help but think that they love music because every time I listen to music I get an even more euphoric feeling than I did before I was pregnant. It doesn't matter what kind of music it is...rock & roll, old country, or reggae, if I'm feeling stressed or sick listening to anything automatically calms me down and makes me happy. In my eyes that can only mean there are 2 more souls, along with mine, rocking out and loving it!!

The 3 Concerts

Shreveport, LA
When we found out I was pregnant Brian and I took a short overnight trip to Shreveport, LA to absorb and celebrate our news. We ended up at a small intimate rock concert. The name of the band was Touching The Absolute.. They rocked, the venue was small, and we enjoyed it. It was a great getaway for Brian and I!

Corpus Christi, TX
Mom got tickets for Pepa (my grandpa) to go see an old county favorite, Mr. George Jones. Brian and I (and the twins) tagged along with Mema, Pepa, Mom, Uncle Chris, Jennifer, and Uncle Scott. We had a blast singing along, dancing, and loving life!

Houston, TX
Warped Tour with Brian, Beka, Kennady, & Morgan. There were about 10 stages set up with bands playing all day. We got there around 4 to miss the scorching heat and stayed till the end around 10. Lots of bands and loud music. Nice!! Here are a few pix from Warped Tour.
