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!!

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.
