We are over halfway there....

It is hard to believe that in just a few short weeks we will have two tiny babies in our house. Due to expecting twins, everything seems to be happening at a much quicker pace than with Ella (or perhaps it is because we are chasing Ella around and older this time!) At our 18 week check up/ultrasound we found out that we are expecting two little boys. I'm excited and terrified by this all at the same time. I was one of three girls, but I will embrace the dirty, rough and tough going, loving boys that are on their way. Bill, of course, was too excited. Since that time (six weeks ago now) we have been coming up with a nursery theme, trying to find preemie clothes, saving money back (since the doctor also burst my bubble of working till the babies came), and trying the best we can to prepare Ella for what is to come. She loves to kiss my belly and talk to her brothers. She is very vocal in telling us that she is going to feed them, and hold them all by her very self. At this point we are on the countdown. Our hope, and the doctor's hope, is that we can make it to 36 weeks. So far things are going well. I feel huge, but the babies are growing, kicking (all the time), and other than being sore and sleepy from lack of sleep I have felt great. We can't wait till the next ultrasound to see how "big" our little guys are!
