Babies, Babies, Babies

A couple of weeks ago I got to celebrate with my friend Hailey at Blue Mesa with her and a few of her close friends for a baby shower for Reece. It was so much fun! It was kind of ironic because we were at a tequila bar and the waiter went through his whole spchel about the bar... little did he know that over half of us were pregnant! Katy and I had fun getting ready for the party making truffles and putting them in cute little boxes with flowers and ribbon. We also made a cupcake tree for desert! Hailey's mom gave her a dress that was her great-grandmother Reece's. It was the coolest thing! It is so funny that my two best friends from college are both pregnant with me. I am so thankful that I can share this special time with my close friends. Katy is just a few weeks shy and finding out what she is having! We are all so excited to find out. We have figured out that next summer when we all meet up for our monthly Chick-fil-a we will have 5 babies between the 3 of us! Don't know if Chick-fil-A will know what hit them! I have a feeling, neither will we! Katy wasn't showing just yet, so she was trying to over compensate! HA

No Sex Yet...

So went at week 18 to find out the sex of the babies, and the doctor was just not quite sure! Oh well! She did say that she thought one was a girl, but could not tell on the other. We did get some cute pictures though! They were both peering out like little hoot owls! So cute! We have an appt at the prenatal diagnositic clinic in a few weeks, and we should know for sure at that appt!

Happy Birthday Grandpa!

Well, this is a little out of order, but wanted to post about my grandpa's 90th birthday! It was such a blessing to be home and to celebrate with the whole family. We had a nice birthday lunch for him and all the cousins and kids were there. He has had such a rich life and has been such a blessing to so many. He still practices veterniary medicene on Saturdays with his wife of 60 + years. You can always count on Grandpa D for a story about World War II, growing up in NYC as a young boy, or meeting Babe Ruth the TWO times he got to meet him! He is a character. He is an Aggie and you will very rarely see him without an ATM hat on when he is out! He is such an amazing man and played a big part in my walk with the Lord at a young age. I used to go to church with he and my grandmother when I was in elementary school. I can still remember sliding across the back seat of their cadillac in my frilly dress, going to big church, and Wyatt's Cafeteria afterwards. I also have many amazing memories of working with him at the vet clinic. In the down times we would chat with his feet up on his desk while I caught up on paper work. At lunch we would pick up Chinese food, go to my grandparents house and watch the AMC matinee movie! Such sweet memories! Love you Grandpa! Hope you always know how much you are loved and how much of a blessing you are.

My sweet friend Ashely at work helpe me make this great placemat with pictures of Grandpa growing up! He is so handsome!

16 weeks!

We had our 16 week check up yesterday. Everything went well. We remembered to bring a video so we got our babies in action! One had their rear in the face of the other so we had a hard time seeing both, but we did see both their heartbeats. They were going strong! 164 beats a minute ;) Will was dissapointed that we did not get to the sex of the babies. We did get a peak at one and we didn't see too much, so Will is convinced we are having one girl for sure! The doctor said it is just too soon to tell! But we are going back in 3 weeks, so we should find out then. I am exicted because my Mom is going to get to come. I am hoping to take the day off of work to be with her and just make a day of it! I will be excited to start looking at gender specific baby stuff once we find out! I also got to see my friend Hailey yesterday. She has the same doctor and is due at the beginning of January. She is having a little girl! Her little boy Connor (2) was soo excited to see the baby and was so precious. Hailey got a peak at the Tweens too! So the count down begins. What will we have? Everyone keeps saying girls because they know Will wants a boy so bad! We will see.
