The Adventures of Dos Bebes Begins...

Hello Everyone! We decided to start a blog, so everyone can share this wild twin journey with us! We are going to try and update the blog weekly, so you can keep up with my ever growing belly and crazy pregnancy stories. Trust me I am taking these pictures for you and not me...no pregnant woman with twins is excited about having a picture of her profile taken...lol!

We thought it was only appropriate that we start this blog with a picture from our wedding day, when our lives together officially began. The past three years have been an amazing adventure and we are truly excited to be welcoming our two little ones into the world (in 6 short months).

Who would have thought when we met 6 years ago that we would be expecting twins on day...I know we didn't. We are very blessed to have such wonderful friends and family to share this journey with. We love you guys!

Thirteen Weeks and Counting...

Oh the joys of food cravings and bathroom trips! I am now officially 13 weeks and 3 days in this picture. I am pretty sure that my belly has grown from last week to this week - maybe we should start measuring.

Well, the babies are already getting me ready for the lack of sleep I am going to experience when they arrive. I would say on average I get up 2 times a night for a bathroom trip and 3 times a week for a nightly snack. Kane woke up at 3:00am the other night to find me eating a banana in bed...in the dark. He just laughed at me and rolled over. All I have to say is at least it was a banana and not a big mac...although that does sound good!

I will not divulge how much I have gained at this point, but the doctor assures me I am right on target. I will share that he informed me I should be prepared to gain 50 pounds...yes you read that correctly, 50 POUNDS!!! YIKES!! I immediately told Kane he has to stop working out and start eating with me...it is not fair to have a fit spouse as I become the Goodyear blimp!

Stay tuned...we are going to the doctor on Monday, December 1, 2008 for another ultrasound. We may be able to find out what we are having. Last week based on the heartbeats the doctor thinks we are having a boy and girl, but we will not know for sure until we see an ultrasound.

Are you sure there are only two in there??

Yes, I am sure there are only two and not three babies as some people have been so kind to ask. At 9 1/2 weeks someone at my office asked me what was going on..."honey you are getting a pot belly!" Yes, people can be so kind to pregnant women.

As you can see with two little ones I am showing a lot earlier than I would with one. I did read that with twins you show as if you are 6 to 8 weeks further along, which did make me feel better. In this picture I am 12 weeks and 2 days. We would have started taking pictures earlier, but I was a little superstitious and wanted to wait until I was about to be in my second trimester.

I finally made the transistion to maternity clothes this week and now I am wondering what took me so long. I say for Thanksgiving/Christmas everyone should wear maternity pants...they are SO COMFORTABLE!!

The Moment of Surprise

The Ultrasound Tech said, well both heartbeats look good. EXCUSE ME...both?? Oh yes, congratulations you are having twins!!

Well as you can imagine the moment we saw this ultrasound we were in total shock and disbelief! I started crying (its just what pregnant women do) and Kane started jumping around the room with excitement. After that we would just stare at the picture and then at each other until finally one of us would say...twins???

And so the story of Dos Bebes begins...
