Belly shot 24 weeks

I know it hasn't been that long since my last one, but I have a picture of me with our new stroller and thought I would use that one for our belly shot for this week! Enjoy!!

24 week Dr. Checkup

Hello all! We just got back from our Dr. visit for this two week period! No pictures this time, but good reports from the doc! So far my blood pressure looks good and there is no signs of pre-term labor starting, so we have been instructed to keep doing what we have been doing! We didn't have a growth scan this visit, but did hear the heartbeats and got a quick peek at them with the little portable ultrasound machine and they, of course, looked perfect. Aubrey is still head down and really close to the cervix, so my guess is she really wants to be first born and is not going to get out of line for that honor! Spencer is breech at this time, but we have time for him to straighten himself out. He was all curled up, basically bent in half with his feet up by his head, so he is either giving his sister more room or getting tired of her kicking him all the time! :) Either way, they both look good with strong, healthy heartbeats! We go back in 2 weeks and will have a growth scan so hopefully we will have ultrasound pictures to share. That is it for now! We are still in Washington, but our time is limited there as Dean is finishing up his job. We are looking forward to moving back to Oregon and will end up in the Portland area for Dean to get a job up there and me to be closer to the hospital! I will keep you all posted on the timing. Take care and enjoy the fall weather! Lots of love!!

Baby Shower Cake

Dean's sister, Julie, made the cake for the shower and did a FABULOUS job! The theme for the shower was the rubber ducky, and the blocks with the babies initials was her personal touch! The fish was on the back of Spencer's block and the butterfly on Aubrey's. It tasted just as good as it looked too! :)

Belly shot at 23 1/2 weeks

I also had Julie, Dean's sister, take a picture of my belly after the shower when I got into comfortable clothes and we went through all the gifts. Hard for me to see myself that big...but I am getting used to it!

Baby Shower

Hello there everyone! I had my baby shower today and had such a good time! It was great to have my friends and family gathered! We got a lot of really cute stuff...makes it hard to wait to dress the babies and use all the stuff! I will post the pictures and will blog again in after my next doctor's appointment.

The top picture is of my sister Theresa, my great-niece Amaya, Mom, Me, and my great niece Italy. The middle picture is of my former manager from Wal-Mart, Lanny, who I haven't seen in quite a while and was pleasantly surprised that he showed up! Then a shot of Mom and me.

22 1/2 week update

Hello there all! We had another doctor appointment today and once again all looked great. The fancy machine that usually makes us a CD of the scan was unfortunately broken today and for some reason didn't print anything out for us, so there are no picture of the babies this time around. We did get a print out of the stats of the babies and from that info they both look good on paper too! He was able to get another shot of Aubrey and is still certain that she is a girl, so we are going to go with that and if we get surprised than we will be thrilled with that too! :) I am feeling good too, nothing really to complain about. I won't be posting a belly shot until later, Dean left before I could have him take a photo! I am going to Portland for the Women of Faith conference this weekend, and my baby shower is on Sunday, so I am sure that I will have plenty of photos to post from that! Well, that is about it, so stay tuned for more info! Love to all!!

Hello!

Hello all! Just thought it was time for a quick note before another month passes by! I know I don't post all that often, but those of you who know my track record for keeping in touch shouldn't be too surprised! :) Things are good out here in Washington, although we just got the official news today that Dean's job will be ending in 3 weeks...we knew it was coming, just not when. So, now we have time to plan our next step and figure out the best place for us to be for now. I think we are leaning toward the Portland area since that is where our Dr. is...and everything is all about the babies now! I will be sure to keep you all posted! For now though, we will keep on keeping on here in Moses Lake! I feel the babies move daily now, seems like mostly the girl, but sometimes it is more on the boy's side...and of course sometimes it is more in the middle so it could go either way! :) We have our next scan on Monday, so stay tuned for yet another belly shot (if I can figure out how to get my entire belly in the shot) and more pics of the babies. We have named our little ones: the baby formally known as "Baby A" is now going to be Aubrey Marie (the Marie is in honor of my mother) and "Baby B" is now going to be Spencer Russell. Spence is a Crosson family name and Dean's Dad's middle name, so we opted for Spencer and it sounded good with my Dad's name...so there you have it! :) I will keep you posted as best as I can and will get customary after the doctor appointment photos up on Monday! Love to all!!
