I like to move it, move it!

The above picture is me and Courtney comparing our belly bumps. She is 16 weeks pregnant with her second baby (a little girl) and I am 26 weeks pregnant with our little ones. We have no makeup on so excuse us! You can obviously tell who is having twins vs. who is not! She looks so cute with her little baby bump next to my HUGE bump.  One of these things is not like the other!

This week has been a rather active in both our lives and the babies lives. They are moving ALL OVER the place and non stop kicking. Needless to say, i haven't gotten much sleep. 

We are in Las Vegas running around, buying a car, hanging out with friends. It has been a very fun week and now I am looking forward to heading to Chicago next week.

As I mentioned before, we are hanging out with our friends this week, and Carson has developed a love for the swiffer. He loves to push it around the house "cleaning". I had to take a picture of it because I have never seen a one year old happy to sweep up around the house! I think it is one of his favorite "toys" right now! Too funny!

I'm looking forward to seeing everyone in Chicago next week! 

Family Visit

I got a picture to post on the blog courtesy of Jim Bickler. We had the family in town and it was so much fun to see everyone! Here is a pic of our last night out before they left. I am sorry that I don't have any of the Henry's to post! Send pics if you have them! :)

4D Ultrasound!

This week was full of so much fun! First of all, Mom and Dad Bickler came to S. Cal to visit along with The Henry's. We had such a great time, going to Fashion Island, hanging out at the houses, swimming, and shopping for the new babies. It was really great to have them here, and we miss them already!

Also this weekend, Jason and I (along with Aunt Joanna and our friends The Maris's) went to Before the Stork, a special ultrasound office that does 4D pictures of the babies. I was finally 24 weeks so we could do this to get a glimpse of what these 2 look like. Of course, I think they are adorable, but I'm the mommy!

They are still in need of fattening up, but you can see their sweet little faces. Everyone thought baby A looked like me and Baby B like a Bickler baby (saw some of Miles Henry in that baby!). It is funny to see them interacting together. Baby A LOVES to kick his brother in the face (which he did repeatedly). It looked like an ultimate fighting cage match in there! Baby A also took the opportunity while we were watching them, to sit on his brother's head....ah sibling rivalry starts at a young age I guess.

I will post the pics next, and explain them as I post.

Not a great way to start life with your brother's rear end

in your face! 

Pic #6 Ultimate Fighting Continues! Foot to the face!

We have the whole thing on DVD. It will be shown when I see everyone in June! Until then!

One Year ago....

Hey Everyone,

This is just a little blast from the past pic that I remembered today while watching the Kentucky Derby. We were at the Derby last year and what a difference a year makes!

The above picture is us on Derby day 2008 right before we left for Churchill Downs. This new pic is this year Derby time 2009. What I wouldn't do to get into that dress again! Maybe next  year! :)

We are winding down our time in Vegas and heading home Monday. We really have had a wonderful time here and we can't wait to come back at the end of May.  When we get home Mom and Dad Bickler are coming in to visit on Friday and staying a week. We will have tons to do and all celebrate Mother's day together. It will be nice to see the family for a while! 

We hope all is well with everyone, and look for more posts soon! 

Las Vegas Fun!

We have been in Las Vegas for a week now and it has been great to be able to get a little R and R before the babies are born. This week we have spent time with our good friends Jason and Courtney Smith and their super cute little boy Carson.  It has been such a great week and today I became a "lady who lunches" and went out with Courtney, Barb (Courtney's mother in law) and Carson. We went to a new Las Vegas restaurant called "Serendipity 3". The original is in New York City and is famous for it's "frozen hot chocolate".

We ate ALOT of great food and of course had the frozen hot chocolate! The weather was beautiful and Carson had a great time. 

Jason and I also went out on Saturday with the Smiths. We went to a local place called the Vitner's grill and it was great. The top picture is both me and Courtney all ready to go out on Saturday. Our husbands didn't want to get in the picture, they are a bit camera shy!

The babies have been kicking up a storm, although they are making a liar out of me. Any time I tell Jason to come over and feel them kicking, they stop the second he puts his hand on my stomach. They are already little jokers! They probably weigh a pound to a pound and a half each now, and they are about 11 inches long . Soon, there won't be much more room in my stomach but thankfully, pregnancy only lasts 38 or so odd weeks! 

I will try to be better about updates. As soon as I take pics I will put them up....promise.

Till then!

Look! It's the Goodyear Blimp! No it's just me....

Hi Everyone,

I am updating the blog with a new bump pic and as you can see, there is no hiding this anymore. Most women ask me when I am due and then flinch when I say August/ September. I then have to say "twins" and they nod their heads at that!

Easter is this weekend, and we are just hanging at home. We got Fannie May candy so that we can really ring in the Easter holiday, and to introduce the boys to the BEST candy around. They will be getting it in their easter basket every year- well every year when they have teeth!

That's all for now, everything is going great!

Hot dogs!

Hi Everyone,

We have visual conformation -They are both BOYS. We are so excited for these two to be born, especially now that we know what they are going to be! 

I have downloaded the ultrasound pics of the little wieners and the 2 long things are their legs with the little stuff in between being their genitalia. They may not have come out great but I tried!

Nothing else new to report, no bump pic this week because Jason has been in and out of town for pretty much 2 weeks (home for 24 hour stretches here and there) and I kind of need him to be my photographer. Next week I promise I will put up a bump pic. It is large and in charge!
