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!!

19 1/2 Weeks

Hello! Well...we are having a boy and a girl!! Baby B is most definately a boy and he was fairly certain that Baby A was a girl, but wants to verify that in three weeks! But, we are moving forward thinking that we are having one of each! Everything went great at the scan, they weren't able to see everything, but what they could see looked good, so we have 2 healthy babies coming! :) They weren't able to get any good shots of the faces, one kind of with our daughter, but I will post some shots that prove his thoughts about the sex! :) Also, by popular demand, another belly shot! They are both growing right on target, so I have a full belly of baby! (Not to mention lunch at Red Robin!) Well, we love and miss you all so very much! I will post again soon!

Greetings from Washington

Hello all! We finally made it to Washington! What a weekend of packing and storing! Who would have guessed that after only 8 years of marriage we could accumulate so much stuff!! But, we are here and will settle into life in Moses Lake. I don't know how long we will be here, so we aren't changing our phone numbers yet...I will let everyone know when that happens. We had another checkup on Tuesday and things are going great. Babies looked active and both had good heartbeats, no photos this time though. We go again a week from Monday, on the 15th, for our anatomy scan so I will have baby pictures to post after that. We will also get to find out who will be joining our family, or what combo of boy/girl we will have! :) I can't wait!! I also can't really believe that it is here already! Where did the time go! I was always so sure that once we finally got pregnant the time would drag on, but I couldn't be more wrong! I will post another belly shot when Dean is home from work and can take the photo, unless I can find a spot to put the camera that will capture all of me...not an easy feat anymore! They tell me that I am doing good with my weight, although I am not thrilled with the rapidness of the rise in numbers! Anything for the babies I guess! :) That about sums up what is going on here with us! I will for sure post after the ultrasound on the 15th to show off our sons/daughters whoever is in there! :) Love to all!!
