Pics from this week.

I tried out my new camera and took some nature pictures. This is our nearby park and pond. I was looking for geese and ducks to take close ups of.

A few days later we had a freak snow storm that dumped 6 inches on us. It all melted by the next day because of the sun.

The next morning the snow covered everything.

Within several hours, most of the snow was gone and we had 60 degree weather.
Tony took a picture of us somewhat dressed up. I wanted to have a current picture to put in my babies books. No more blurry pictures. Yahoo!!

Barry's B-day, Doctor's Appt, Baby Shower Changes.

Happy Valentine's Day to you!!! Hope you get to eat some chocolate and be with the ones you love. Yesterday was Barry's b-day and it was nice. He got some cards from family members and I made him his favorite dinner. Stir-fry beef and broccoli over rice and chocolate cupcakes for dessert. He wouldn't let me take his picture to post on my blog. Today, I went to my ultrasound appt. and found out that the babies are growing and doing well. One baby weighs 1 lb 10 oz. and the other one weighs 1 lb 6 oz. I found out that the doctor doesn't want me to travel far from home after 28 weeks pregnant. That put a monkey wrench into my baby shower plans. He said that the twins will come early and to expect them after 36 weeks, which would be May 9th instead of June 9th. Now, I will be in Oregon visiting family from March 14 through March 28 and the baby shower will be Saturday, March 22nd. The Las Vegas baby shower may or may not happen depending on people's schedules. It could be as early as March 8th, Saturday. Post any comments or questions on my blog and lets talk about the changes. Other than that, I feel pretty good and try to stay busy. I am working on Brenna's Christmas stocking right now and boy is it complicated. No one ever said how hard and time consuming making those felt stockings would be. So far it is turning out great. If I mess it up I just add some extra beads and sequins to make it look pretty. Hope everyone is doing well. Love you and miss you.

Baby Shower Ideas.

I am putting this out there to see what my sisters think about having a baby shower during our family reunion. I wanted to have an earlier baby shower while I am still pregnant in Oregon on April 19th. I found out that only about three people would be able to attend besides Mom and Tiffany. Most of my sisters are in Las Vegas, Utah , and Arizona, so it would be logical to have a baby shower there where many of my friends and family could attend, but not Mom or Tiffy, since they live in OR and it is too far to travel. My other idea is to wait until the babies are born and have a late baby shower over the 4th of July weekend when hopefully everyone will be attending our family reunion in OR. What are your suggestions and or comments?? I kind of wanted to have a baby shower with my big tummy and play the silly games, eat cake and open presents just like my sisters did at their baby showers. I feel stuck here in Reno with no friends, co-workers, or family to throw me a baby shower. Do you guys know when your Spring Break is from school? Maybe it is the same time as when I will be in OR around the 19th of April. Airfare is really cheap right now at Southwest Airlines if you buy your tickets ahead of time. I got my tickets for $148 round trip to Portland from Reno. Think about the different options and then let me know. I am so bored waiting for the babies to get here and need to plan some fun event before I go crazy. Update your blogs too!!! I check them everyday!! Good job Mom, Debbie, Erica, Aubrey and Ashley. Come on little kids, update your blogs too. Alanna, Rhiannon, and Jazmine. OK, I'll post more after my next ultrasound on Feb. 14th.

Doctor's appt. went well.

My appt. went well today. The doctor measured my belly and listened to the babies heartbeats. That was about all she did. Everything seems to be going well and on track. My next appt. with her is in another month. Then I have to be tested for gestational diabetes when I am 25 weeks along. My next ultrasound is on Valentine's Day. I love the ultrasound because you get to see so much of the babies and they tell you how much the babies weigh. My diet has changed to an all time healthy eating. I'm really proud of myself about how many fruits and veggies I eat each day. Barry is an excellent cook and makes wonderful dinners for me. I still take afternoon naps when I start to hurt from sitting too long. I guess the pain from two babies sitting so low will not go away for the rest of my pregnancy. Sometimes it hurts to walk very far. It feels like a bowling ball on my bladder and my bottom. No other news for now. Hope everyone has a fun Super Bowl party on Sunday. Go Patriots!! I am forced to watch too many sports because with two guys around, that's all they do.
