I went and had a ultra sound, stress test and a check up today! Everything looks really great, especially the babies!! Baby B is still flipped head up but they say that ok as long as Baby A stays head down! Baby B weights a HUGE 5 lbs 9 oz and Baby A weights 5 lbs 6 oz, I have HUGE babies!! They say if i can make it to 35 weeks, this saturday, the babies will probably get to come home with me after only staying for 3 days!!! I really hope that is what happens but we will see! As of right now i am still only a 3 and nothing has changed, I still have 12 days before they will start me and with the way things are going i might make it! If i havent had them by saturday i can do what i want and no more bed rest so on saturday you may see me out trying to run with my 11 pounds of just baby!!

34 weeks
Since this is my scrapbook/journal I am trying to keep it updated as much as possible! So this post will be a little boring and there wont be any pictures, I have my camera in my bag ready to go!!
We had kyles birthday on Sunday, my family came over and cooked his favorite breakfast, stuffed french toast! Then we had his family come down and kyle got to cook them hamburgers, i was no help with anything this year so i guess ill have to make him something really good next year!
My poor Grace woke up last Thursday with a horrible cough so i rushed her to the doctor to get her on a antibiotic just in case the twins came but the doctor told me that it was just allergy's.
So after Thursday to Sunday of only getting worst and running a fever i decided i would just make Dr. Chamberlain look at her when i had my appointment on Monday. I didn't get to take her to see the doctor so Nancy took her for me and got her on a antibiotic and she is feeling so much better now, thank goodness!
Monday we woke up to do the normal Monday thing, NST at 10 and Dr. Chamberlain at 1:30, but it didn't work out that way this Monday!
I got to my NST, oh how boring those are, both the babies looked good and the water in the sacks were good, but i was having contractions pretty regularly, (I thought they were braxton hicks). So off to labor and delivery they ship me, i got hooked up to the monitors, had 3 tests done and had to be checked, the funnest thing of being pregnant. After all of this they decided i was dilated to a 2 and was in preterm labor. They gave me a shot to try and stop the labor and that did nothing but make me shake! After talking to the doctor and running around not telling me much of what was going on, they move me to my own room and told me to get comfortable. They started to give me pills that were suppose to stop the labor but all they did was speed it up! The doctor came in and told me i would be there at least till they could stop my labor or till the girls were born! Kyle had to take my poor sick Grace home then rushed back to the hospital to spend the night there with me! All day Monday the contractions were there and so they just watched me and told me to wait, and that's what we did. Tuesday morning they checked me and i was to a 3+ and having contractions one right after the other every two minutes, so they stopped the pills and decided to just let me go and see what happened. They let me off the monitor and my IV to shower and go for a little walk and told me that in 14 to 16 hours the babies would be here. After my shower and walk they had all the doctors come talk to me and the nurse tell us about the NICU, i was scared to death because she told us the babies could be there for 2 to 4 weeks and that's a long time. we got everything signed and were just waiting for the babies to tell us when they were coming. After about a hour the contractions slowed and slowly left to one about every 15 minutes and continued on like that till now! Tuesday was a very long day of waiting to see if something was going to happen and putting up with a crazy nurse who reminded me alot of Hitler! I was very stressed cause i wanted to keep them in as long as i could but i did not want to sit in the hospital with a IV and the monitor hooked up to me waiting. So we waited and waited and nothing more happened so Wednesday they checked me and i was still at a 3+, they did a ultra sound and finally told me what was going on!
Something, we are still not sure what put, me into labor, then both the babies decided that they were going to try and move into the birth canal at the same time. When my uterus would contract, instead of doing it above the babies to push them out the were going below the babies and pushing them higher. If the contractions would have kept going they would have had to do a emergency C-section. They said the pills must have slowed my labor down enough to relax there little home in my belly and give the babies some room so baby B flipped head up. It is still ok and i can still have them normal it will just be a little harder with "B" head up!
After 47 hours sitting with all the cords hooked up to me, a IV, a horrible bed, having to ask to go to the bathroom, and nothing to do but wait, they let me go home. I am now on bed rest but i would take that any day instead of being in the hospital. I go back Monday to see all the doctors and to see if everything is still going good, hopefully they will not be keeping me this time!
If i can just make it till the end of next week when i will be close to 35 weeks the babies will be good and not have to spend to much time in the NICU. I am feeling really good, i just don't get off the couch much and that's really hard for me, but when i start to go crazy i just think back to the hospital and I'd much rather be on my couch! Hopefully Monday they tell me i can do a little more, but if they don't i only have to sit around and be lazy for about another week.
This will probably be my last post till the girls are here, i think i am ready, i am just hoping that the girls are both ready too! I hope that this post just isn't rambling, i have no brain left!

I made it to 33 weeks and i am pretty miserable and HUGE!! I am still walking and awake for the most part so i think i am still doing pretty good! When i was pregnant with Grace i didn't get one stretch mark, i have not been so lucky this pregnancy! I have so many stretch marks around my belly button its not even funny, i don't think i will be wearing a swimming suit ever again!! I just keep telling myself there are only a few weeks of this left, only about 20 more days at the most, thank goodness!!
Last Saturday i got a surprise diaper shower, i was most defiantly surprised and i got so many diaper! It defiantly help me out so much cause diapers were the only thing left on my list!! now all i have to do is finish packing a bag for me and write my thank you then we are ready to go!
Sally made the cutest diaper babies, i had never seen them but i thought they were about the cutest thing! 
Grace has got allergy's so bad i took her to the doctor to make sure she wasn't sick, but they said it was for sure allergy's! She has always had them but if the wind blows it seems like the poor girl cant breath or anything! Kyle picked her this rose from one of his bushes and she carried it around for 2 days till it died! 
Here is my HUGE belly picture, i have very few shirts that fit over my belly now and so by the end of the night i usually have on a tank top with it pulled up over my belly, my pj pants on and my slippers, kyle made me put on pants before he'd take a picture of me!! 
I just read this and it is pretty scattered and boring, but it is the best i can do in trying to keep up!! I have no brain so that's my excuse!!

Pregnancy Pictures
Well I got talked into doing the pregnancy pictures that i swore i would never do! I figured since this very well could be my last pregnancy i might not get the chance to do it again if down the road i wanted to! Here are a few of the ones that i dont look like i am about to "pop" as some rude stranger put it the other day, and a few really cute ones of Grace!

I thought i better try and stay caught up for the most part, so this is what has been going on here at the Leavitt house!
Trueitt is getting SO big SO fast, i forgot how fast newborns change, if i don't see him everyday he looks bigger and different!! He and Jakell are both doing really good and both love each other and don't like to not be touching! Jakells going to make him the biggest mommas boy that ever lived i'm pretty sure!! Grace loves it when we get to see him, she helps Jakell burp him but if you ask her she will tell you that she is farting him!!
Kyle is making our front yard look pretty again, there for awhile it looked like a bomb had went off out front! He got the sprinklers system in a few weekends ago and just planted the grass today, i cant wait for the grass to come up out there it will look so good! It is most definitely spring time here and i wish i could enjoy it more outside, Grace and Kyle are out there pretty much every chance they get! Kyle works and Grace makes twice as much work for him!! I will have to get a picture of all the new plants he has out there, hopefully he can get most of it done before he runs out of time this year!
Last weekend he also got our "garden" planted! All we did this year is tomatoes and we already have 3 started! Next year we hope to have a bigger garden with all kinds of cool stuff planted in it! 
In other news, Kyle drew a Utah bear tag! He is very excited about it and thats pretty much all thats on his mind lately! It even starts on April 11th, yes thats right when the twins are suppose to be here!! I have gotten over the mad part of him drawing out and am now excited for him as long as we have healthy babies who arent in the hospital for long! The bear tag is a bow tag, i think that is really scary but hes already been practicing and has my dad, his dad and all of his brothers really excited!! 
Grace is getting so big, she is going to be 3 this year and i cant believe it! She has quite the personality and she never stops! We got her this cool bug house at the dollar store and she really loves it! Her and Kyle went for a 4-wheeler ride the other day and caught some lady bugs and rolling pollies as she calls them! Her new phrase she says is " Oh my gosh, what are we going to do"! I love it, she says it to about everything and it cracks me up! 
In baby news, I am 31 weeks 3 day pregnant today! They decided that they were going to give me the steroid shots that develop the babies lungs, i forgot what they are called, but they gave one to me on Friday then we went back up Saturday for the last one! I think that has made me feel alot better just knowing that if something was to happen at least they would have that little bit extra. I still have to make it about 3 more weeks they figure so that the girls wont have eating problems and have to have eating tubes. I also had another UTI that was causing alot of the pain i was in and now that the antibiotics are in my system i feel alot better! The doctor has me scared to do anything but sit around for the most part cause i just do not want them in the hospital if they dont have to be! Both doctors have said that my uterus thinks im alot further along than i am and so that is what could put me into labor! I forgot to ask him what i was measuring because i had lots of questions for him this time, like what to do when you want to eat glue!?!?! But i am huge, i hope to get a picture of my huge self today and put it up but we'll see if that happens. I am going to the doctor every Monday now, either for a non stress test, just to the regular appointment or a ultra sound and sometimes more than one of those!! I am really excited to not be pregnant anymore but i am really nervous to have two newborns I really just hope they are healthy and we dont have to spend much time in the hospital!
I think that is about all that has been going on here, hope everyone is doing great!

almost 30 weeks!!
There will be no pictures with this post pretty much cause it hurts my back to bad to sit at the computer for to long. But Annie wants a update and since i love her, i thought i better update, haha!!!
We went to the doctor again yesterday, we go every two weeks and starting on the 13 of this month it will be every week! That is alot of doctors appointments that we drive a hour for and they pretty much do nothing, but thats ok i only have about 6 more weeks!!!
Anyways the babies are doing really good, both are head down and now baby B is actually further down then baby A, so she will come first! Baby A weights 3 lbs 2 oz and Baby B weights 3 lbs 4 oz, so that means i have 6 lbs 6 oz of just baby, i will be HUGE before this is all over!!! We seen that baby B has lots of hair already so we got all kinds of good news!! When the lady was doing the ultrasound it was hard to tell what went to who cause they are so cramped in there already!!
As for me, the babies are doing lots better than me, they are getting so big that i have no room let in there for anything, really i think i might pop!! Both placentas are in the left side of my ribs and have torn the muscle from my rib cage not to mention Baby A is on that side too! On my right side where baby B foot always seems to be, a muscle has stretched out so far that a nerve is all messed up, i dont really understand that one all i know is i thought i was going to die the night it showed up!! There are a few other muscles that have stretched to there limit and i could go on and on about all my aches and pains but i wont!!
I am not on bed rest if you ask my doctor, just suppose to take it really easy but if you ask kyle he will tell you different! I pretty much do nothing but sit on the couch all day and let my mom take care of Grace whenever she is around and wait for kyle to come home to take care of us! Im really lucky that Grace is as independent as she she and that she has all the grandparents, aunts and uncles that would love to take her for a few hours!
The twins room is almost done and i only have bobbies, diapers, lotions and bath washes left to get!! As for names for baby A and baby B, they might just be coming home as baby A and baby B!! We really like the names.......
Alaynna
Alivia
Addison
Adaline
Kessa
Kensely
The only thing that i know for sure is that there middle names are going to be Merri and Nancy after our moms!! So if you like 2 of the names better than the rest or you have a cute name you would like me to steal from you please give me some input!!
As for never texting, calling, or commenting anyone back i am sorry and after the girls are a few moths old i hope to get back to having a few minutes to do stuff like that!! I really hope that everyone is doing great!!

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!
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!!

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.

New Years Weekend and everything else!!
So i am a little bit behind and this post was suppose to be up the beginning of January not February! My new motto is better late than never cause that's about how my life feels right now, if i get out of the house and I'm not to late or i have my teeth and hair brushed it has been a good day!!
We decided that we better go down to Marysvale on kyles long weekend over new years cause it will probably be not till after the girls are born till we can make it down again!! Skyler, well i think it might have been Steph, invited Kyle to go chase a Lion with him!! Kyle had a great time and now thinks he needs to move so he can have dogs to go hunting with! He got some pretty cool pictures of the Lion up in the tree, I've only seen two of them before and they are so pretty! So thank you Skyler for getting Kyle out of the house and taking him with you!!
We had Jakells baby shower on January 10th here at my house! My mom had to come over early and help me vacuum and get things ready! She was watching Grace while i got in the shower and this is what i came to find!! Needless to say everyone does what Grace says!! 
There were so many people that showed up, they just kept coming in, I didn't think they were all going fit but they did!! She got so many nice things and i think she has enough clothes to make him wear something different everyday till he is a year old!! She is not due till February 26th but i think she will have him on February 3rd, we will see i will be posting picture of him!! This is the first time i will be a aunt so i am really excited!!!
Grace has learned to love to color, she even found 2 markers with kyles homework and colored all over the underneath of my brand new mattress on my bed and all over my walls under my bed!! Thank goodness it was washable marker and i got as much as I could reach without my big belly getting in the way, Kyle cant fit under it either so i have to wait till i don't have 2 babies inside me to clean the rest!!
Grace is little miss independent!! She has to get herself dressed and some days after i have her dressed she will come out in something like this and tell me shes ready to go shopping!! She sure does keep us entertained and laughing!! 
She lost her voice for almost 2 full weeks, it was the saddest thing i have ever heard!! When i took her to the doctor he gave me some antibiotics for her ear infection but told me the only way she would get her voice back was to rest her voice and not talk! I asked him if i should tape her mouth shut or what cause shes 2 and never stops talking!! I didn't have to tape her mouth shut or anything like that it just finally started to come back and it has been really nice to hear her again!
Now to the twin update....
At the beginning of this month we ran into some complications, everything is good with the babies i just get to lead a VERY lazy life!! They didn't put me on bed rest but my doctor told me to take it easy, VERY EASY, I think he knows how i am!! I really shouldn't do house work or lift Grace very much and when i get tired or start to feel yucky i need to lay down with my feet up!! It is a good thing Grace can entertain herself pretty good cause I usually lay on the couch for the good part of the day!! I hope that if i just keep taking it real easy that they wont put me on bed rest till i am to huge to walk!! My primary doctor, not the specialist, told me that if i made it to 35 or 36 weeks that he would start me as long as the babies are good, so that is between April 9th and the 16th! If i do make it that long, I really hope i do so they wont have to be in the hospital, then I'm pretty sure there lungs will be good!! We are now going to the doctor every 2 weeks, we start that tomorrow!! I will post a picture of how huge i am tomorrow cause i have to get ready for the day!!
We still have yet to get everything ready for them to get here, i do have the 2 car seats, but not a vehicle to put them in and i have 2 cribs but only a messy room filled with all kinds of stuff to put them in!! So hopefully while kyle is gone hunting pigs with his dad this weekend i can get the room cleaned out and ready to paint!! Other than 2 bouncers, 2 bobbies, and a mattress for one of the cribs i think i really have everything i need, at least i hope so!!!
Our biggest news, we don't know if it is happy or sad, we sold the truck!!! Neither the car or the truck would fit 3 car seats in them so we are getting rid of both of them to buy something to fit all of us!! We would really like a 4 door truck but kyle gets scared when he thinks of me driving a big huge truck around! So we will she what happens!!
On our wedding night we were on our way to mesquite for the night and i took my earrings out and he put them in the visor and they haven't been moved till last night! Kyle says now our marriage is going to fall apart, he is really upset about getting rid of his truck, really i am just upset to have to pay the payment on a new truck!!
Hope everyone is doing great!!!!

Doctor Appointment
I am trying to get my BLURB book all caught up so i can get it ordered so hopefully i get that done this week, I cant sit at my computer for long so i am slacking big time!!! So when you read some of these next blogs they are for my scrap book/ journal so they probably wont be all that interesting!!
I went to the perinatal doctor on the 30th just to make sure everything is going great with the twins and it is!!
We found out that for sure we are getting 2 girls and that they are each in their own sack and have their own placenta so they are not identical but that's ok! I hear and read that you can have alot more complications when they are identical and the healthier they are the better!!
It has really sunk in that we are getting two babies and our family of 3 will be growing to 5 overnight, that's crazy!!! Right now we are just more or less trying to decide about a what we are going to do about a vehicle and what baby stuff we need two of! We are just trying to get through the pregnancy and keep the girls in the oven for as long as possible and that all we are really worrying about for now!!

It's a...............
Alot of you already know our news and some of you still dont believe me so here is the ultrasound picture!!Well If you have seen me lately you would think "wow she sure is getting big fast"! You would be right, i am getting HUGE!!!
We went in for our ultrasound to see if were getting a little boy or a little girl and the guy told us this really funny story about how he had a couple come in and he got to tell them they were having twins and they had no idea and freaked out! Well we laughed, then he started our ultrasound and the first thing he says is "congratulations guys, your having twins"! We of course didnt believe him till we looked up on the screen and seen two little babies fighting each other!!! So yes two little girls are what we are having, yes, TWIN LITTLE GIRLS!!!
We are still in shock and cant believe it but everything looks good for now and we go to see the specialist on the 30th of this month so we will keep everyone updated!! I also went and seen my doctor today and asked him how long i had till i would be on bed rest and he says as long as everything goes good it wont be till the middle of March so i still have a little longer before i am to big and miserable!!
I just had to get on here and write a little something about our good news, hope everyone has a great Christmas!!

Baby Belly and Advent Box
Well I have posted all of November in one day! I got really behind and i have had a little time last night and today so i got it done!!!
At our house Christmas starts on the 1st of December, well at least it is suppose to!! I was a day late this year but i was a present short so it worked out really good!! Last year Nancy and Penn gave us our own advent box and Grace Loves it! She woke up yesterday morning and seen that there were some presents in the box and got really excited!! She gets to open all of the presents even though some of them are for me and Kyle! We read a story and i sing her a song out of our 24 days of Christmas book and then she gets to open the present! Yesterday she opened a coloring book and today she opened some candy!! She is So excited for Christmas to come, everyday like 50 times she tells me "Santa is coming to my house" I have been trying to tell her that is is Jesus's birthday too and so we sing him Happy birthday alot!! You can see how excited she gets in the 2nd picture, i love it and it makes me excited for Christmas to come, but not to soon i still have shopping to do!!
Since i haven't posted in awhile i thought i better update my baby situation!!! I am 17 weeks and if you would have seen me a week and a half ago you couldn't see i was pregnant, then all of the sudden i got the big belly!! I try to wear tighter shirts so you can tell I'm pregnant and not just getting really fat!!! We go in on the 17th for our ultrasound and we are really excited!! Everything seems to be going really good, i am sick, nothing like i was but it is for sure still here!!! At my last appointment i had lost weight but I'm certain at this next one i will have made up for it!! I had to take this picture myself so it looks kinda funny but i had to get one up here to show Steph!!

Oh the joys of motherhood...
Yesterday was my first official doctors appointment, I really hate those first ones! Everything was good and he told me i felt like i was further along than i thought, so that's a good thing! I also had to get 6 things of blood taken, i hate that too! I told the lady that i passed out pretty much every time and so we went and laid down and she just started poking always at my arm! She only had to poke me twice but she also blew one of my veins and rolled the other so my arm has some pretty good bruises today! Other than my doctors appointment, Me and Nancy took Grace to get some picture taken, they turned out really good and i'm excited to get them back!
I just was thinking about motherhood and how my views of it have changed as Grace has grown up! When she was just a baby i was scared to leave her and when i did for the first time i cried, even though we went to the 9 o'clock show and she slept the whole time! I also was freaked out about her eating sugar, peanut butter or pretty much anything they tell you not to give a baby. Other people didnt listen and gave her whatever they wanted and i would come home and cry to Kyle about it. Whenever she would spit up on herself i would hurry and clean it up and change her and never let her sit in her wet diaper. I listen to mothers to be or girls that dont even have kids in there near future and they talk like i thought. Now that Grace is older and i dont feel to good, she eats what she wants, even off the floor (I mean i dont feed her on the floor or anything, but if it falls i dont freak out, i just blow it off!!), and she is dirty, alot of the time and doesnt get clean till i bath her! I just think it is funny how life with a 2 year old really changes every thing!
When i was cleaning the house the other day, Grace was not helping! So i gave her a cupcake that we made thinking it would keep her happy till i loaded the dishwasher, but this is what really happened!!! So after loading the dishes i cleaned the floor!!
Grace is going to be a cute little fairy witch thing for Halloween and she loves the hat so she wears it around the house, Jerrica got her dog a witch costume so we put it on Trudy and Grace loved it, the cat not so much!!
Grace sure does love MaKala, today she had to be right next to her and when i would go close she told me "mom go away this is my baby!" So she babysat today, she is going to be a great big sister!!

I thought i better get on here and post something today! Its not that i sleep or sit around all the time but when I'm feeling good i try to clean the house or comb Graces hair or brush her teeth!!! I'm taking Zofran and my doctor said its not suppose to make you tired but i swear I'm always tired and if i don't take them every 4 hours i get sick all over again! Pretty much everything about this pregnancy has been different. When i was pregnant with Grace i had the pregnancy glow, this time the only time my face is glowing is after i have got done throwing up!! Not to mention that my face is so broke out. I go to the the doctor on Monday for my first official appointment, I'm not looking forward to that!! I am now 10 weeks and our due date in not until May 15th, a long time aways!!
Nancy gives me all of her women's day magazines and i LOVE them, they have the coolest stuff and always have cute cupcakes to make, well i got a wild idea and decided that i would try and make some cupcakes. It was a good fun idea till i had 50 cupcakes baked then didn't really want to decorate them, but i did anyways and this is how they turned out! Not to bad right...
Yesterday was Jakell 18th birthday and she decided that my Grandma should make her pizza so they came over to my house and made some pizza and sat around and talked, i put my Grandma and Mom to work on the cupcakes so they could get done! It was fun, Jakell had to work till 8 so we made pizzas and ate them before the birthday girl even got there, but she didn't care!
This is just a picture of Grace, I was sitting at the computer and she brought her huge baby in and told me to kiss her!!
That's about all that is going on here, Kyle gets to go take his mid-term test on Monday so we have been studying, Hope everyone is doing good!
