I'm a Aunt!!

I am officially a aunt today!! After being in labor for over 2 weeks Jakells water finally broke last night! They texted me all through the night and gave me updates, i got one at 6 AM that said she was only dilated to a 6 and i thought i could be over there by noon and still not miss anything! Then i got a phone call at 6:30 and she was at a 10!! She said she only had to push 8 times and he was here!!! He is beautiful and has long blond hair, when he gets home i will be taking lots more picture of him to put on here!! Jakells doing good and they get to come home tomorrow, I'm really excited to get to hold him again!!
Trueitt Emerson Ciserella was 7 lbs. 10 oz. and 21 inches long!!

28 weeks today!!!!

For Valentines this year we got to go to Kaden and Laura wedding!! I didn't take my camera, pretty much cause i never take it anywhere, so i had to steal this picture of them from her myspace! She looked absolutely beautiful and the reception was really nice. They got to go to San Francisco for their honeymoon and i think they should be home today!! Grace danced with Aunt Laura all night and when we got home and i asked her who she was with she told me "Kadens princess"!!!
I had my appointment on Tuesday, everything is still looking really good and I'm not on bed rest or anything so it is really good!!! Only 4 more weeks and i will be 32 weeks, if i was to have the babies then, they would have to be in the hospital but they would out grow all of the premature problems!! We are on the down hill of this pregnancy and i am so happy about that! My stomach is actually being stretched beyond what should be possible, i have all kinds of muscle pulls and tears but that's ok i can make it another 7 or 8 weeks!!

As you all know, we have been looking for a truck so we can fit our 3 car seats and family of soon to be 5 in the same vehicle. Kyle has pretty much just been looking on the Internet for a good deal and would email and ask a few questions but nothing had really came along that he loved. He finally found a truck that he liked, it wasn't quite what he would have loved but we decided to check it out while we were up at the doctor. We went over to look at it and the papers were being signed to sell it to someone else, so as car salesmen do he had another truck for us to look at! We really didn't like it in the least bit but the truck that was beside it kyle LOVED! So after dealing with the salesman all day and taking it for a test drive Kyle decided he couldn't live without it so we are now the proud owners of this.......
I don't really know all the truck talk about it but i do know that it is a Chevy Duramax and it has every kind of gadget you can think of on the inside, well everything but remote control start! So we are really happy with it and Kyle is no longer upset about having to sell his truck!! I really think he hasn't stopped smiling since we test drove it!! Now all we have to get is the twins room painted, a bobby or 2, a mattress for one of the cribs and all the bedding for both cribs then we should really have everything we need for these two to get here, except names! We don't want rhyming names but i'm not against the idea of having them start with the same letter, hopefully they come home with better names than Baby A and Baby B!!

The truck is gone... We seen them driving around in it last night and it really was sad, kyle still is having a hard time getting rid of the thing!! He says that if they drive it around dirty he is going to be really upset and going to tell them they need to wash it, he is crazy!!
We have had the car up for sale too but we haven't heard anything about it so if any of you out there are looking for a car you should come look at mine!!
We got the car seats on Monday and tried to fit all 3 of them in the back seat of the car and there really is NO WAY they all will fit. We hope to be getting a new truck here in the next few weeks if we can find a good deal but it is hard to talk ourselves into spending that kind of money, but we have to get one so i guess we will have to!
Grace was being really quite the other day while i was laying down, i went to check on her to see what she was into and i found her with the baby powder all over her bathroom!!!! She is always making me messes to clean up but she helps me clean them up most of the time so i guess it is ok! We went to the doctors on Monday and nothing has really changed so that is good!! Both the girls weigh 2 pounds each and are growing and healthy!! I would really like to make it till i am 36 weeks, April 16th, but we will see! They say with my size they will be happy with 32 weeks and thats only 6 weeks away! I hope we are ready for them cause the day is coming fast!

my HUGE belly!!

I didn't realize how HUGE i was till i made Kyle take this picture of me, no wonder i feel like my stomach is splitting in two cause it looks like it is going to!! I am 25 and a half weeks but i have been measuring about 4 weeks ahead so i look like i am 29 weeks. I only have about 10 more left, we are hoping that i make it that long so that the babies will be healthy as they can be but i really don't want to have two 6 or 7 pound babies in there so 10 weeks is plenty, cause that is a whole lot of baby!!

I have been reading alot about twins and here are some of the interesting things that i have found...

The older you are the more likely you are to have fraternal twins and if you have them you are more likely to have another set of twins!!
Fraternal twins (girls) have twice the chance of giving birth to twins than singletons.
Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen are actually fraternal twins, i kinda hope our twins look a little bit different.
Fraternal twins occurs 1 in 60 births. Identical twins occurs 1 in 150 births.
A twin pregnancy causes normal pregnancy symptoms, such as nausea and morning sickness, to occur earlier, that's why i was so sick at the beginning.
On average, twins are born 22 days premature.
