Pink or Blue?
It is finally here the week we have been waiting for! This Wednesday, which is also my sweet husband’s birthday, we will find out what are having. When you find out you are pregnant almost the first thought is whether you are having a boy or girl. In fact beside asking when your due date is everyone wants to know what you are having. The first question is to find out or not to find out? Since finding out we are having identical twins I think there have been enough surprises thus far so we are definitely going to find out the sex. We have gone through the old wives tales, chinese lunar calendar, and when our moms were here we did the string test.
Here are some of the results of those myths:
Terrible Morning Sickness: Girls
Sleep Position: Boys
Soft Hands: Girls
Craving Sweets: Girls
Adult Acne: Girls
Clumsy: Boys
Moody: Girls
The String (Pendulum) Test: Boys
Baby’s heartbeats above 150: Girls
Chinese Lunar Calendar: Girls
I think they are boys and Bob thinks we are having girls.
Who knows as fun as the wives tales and such are I am so ready for Wednesday! Since they are identical we just need one to cooperate with the ultrasound technician.
So pink or blue what do you think?
Post a comment with your thoughts or take part in our poll on the top right of this page. Then stay tuned for our announcement. Either way we are beyond excited boys or girls!

Thankful…
On this Thanksgiving morning there is so much to be thankful for. I am so thankful that God has chosen us to be parents. I have dreamed of being a mommy my whole life and now as I am on this wonderful journey. Despite the not so fun side effects of pregnancy and shots I know that it will all be a passing memory when I have my two little ones in my arms. I am honored, thankful, and blessed to be carrying our sweet twins. I am also thankful that we have had a healthy pregnancy thus far. I am thankful for my wonderful team of doctors, supportive family, and friends. It is hard to believe that this time next year we will have two little ones with us and they may be even crawling around by then! Thank you Lord for all the blessings on our family this year and the ones to come. Happy Thanksgiving to my little jellybeans, Daddy and I can not wait to meet you both!

Pregnancy Blog…
I promised this link a month ago so here is the link to our pregnancy blog: Two Little Jellybeans.
I started it as a private blog to serve as our journal. Later I made the blog public when we told everyone we were pregnant to keep our families and friends updated on the pregnancy. I hope to one day merge the blog with this one but that may take a while to figure out. I may simply wait until the twins are here to merge them so I can have a dedicated pregnancy journal. So please if you follow my blog add the new one to your blog roll to stay updated our journey to becoming parents!

Best Moment this week: Bob and I hearing the twins heartbeats at our Dr. appointment this week.
Everything looked good at our monthly check up. I am measuring at 18-19 weeks which is normal to measure bigger for twins. Boy, can I feel the great stretch. It gets a little painful sometimes in all honesty. The twins had strong heartbeats this week around 155 and were moving all over the place.

An Amazing Gift
We are so blessed. Bob and I have the best parents ever! Together with Nana they us gave everything thing we could possibly need furniture wise in the nursery. We are so thankful and excited. The twins are beyond blessed to have such wonderful grandparents. The bought us two cribs and dresser. Then Nana got us the matching changing table. Did I mention we are beyond excited! We ordered the furniture in a beautiful expresso color from Babies”R”Us. The cribs are lifetime cribs which means they are cribs, toddler beds, and then full size beds. Here are a few pictures of our new nursery furniture that they ordered:
I can not wait to find out the gender so we can pick out fabrics and nursery colors!
On a side note Nana fell while she was here to visit and had surgery. She is recovering now but will be spending a few weeks with us. Turns out she will get to go to our gender ultrasound after all.

Our 1st Diapers…
My mom (who will be MiMi), Nana, and mother-in-law (who will be Grandma) came up for a visit this weekend. We thought that this Monday we would be finding out what the gender of the twins are but the are still to small to see. They have rescheduled the gender ultrasound for December 1st, which is also Bob’s birthday. We really are enjoying our time with our families. Tonight we all went to Babies”R”Us and Bob’s mom (Grandma) bought us our first pack of diapers. I know this will be the first of many diaper boxes we will go through! Thanks Grandma! I can’t believe that we are almost halfway through our pregnancy since twins are considered full term at 37 weeks.
