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!!

Also great news in the Leavitt house, GRACE IS POTTY TRAINED! I still put a diaper on her at night but she doesn't go in it!! We are going over a week with no accidents and we are so excited to not have to buy her anymore diapers, YEA!!!

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.

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!!!!

New Years Eve

On New Years Eve we had Lauren and Dustin come over and play the Wii!! It was alot of fun, Kyle and Dustin played on it for most of the night while me and Lauren watched the girls play and drank our strawberry daiquiris! We really like to celebrate the new year with the east coast so we were in bed by 10:30, we're party poopers!!
These two are crazy!! They watched movies and played all night, then they decided that they were going to sleep so they got up into bad and pretended to go to sleep!!
Theses two really played the wii all night, they were like little boys!!!
We always have a great time with Lauren and Dustin, we just need to get together more!!
