Christmas Time.

Well Christmas has come and gone yet again! It was so much fun spending time with family and friends and most importantly, remembering and celebrating our Savior's birth! Church was fabulous and the music the choir sang was beautiful!
We spent time with family and enjoyed all the great food! The babies really enjoyed all the yummy food too of course.
Our little family was spoiled on Christmas by family and of course Trevor spoiled me too! He is so good to me.
Even Bella and Tia got dressed up and they were adorable. Bella really liked opening her treats Christmas morning and then tried to open everyone else's presents all day. She was pretty mad when she didn't get as many presents as everyone else did. It was actually pretty funny to watch her try and take everyone else's presents!
Everything has been so busy with the holidays, so it is nice to relax now and enjoy all the fun things we got.
The BEST part was getting to talk to my adorable missionary brother who is in Pennsylvania for the last time during Christmas! Yay! He is doing so great and it was so good to hear his voice. He really does miss his family a ton, but he knows that what he is doing is blessing so many lives. He is amazing and we all cannot wait to be with him next Christmas! Even the twins.
The babies are growing like crazy and kicking all the time. It is so much fun to feel them move around inside of me. I love it! They are always wiggling and boxing each other. It is like a total party in my tummy!
I am 28 weeks now and starting my third trimester! WHAT?! Yeah i can't believe it either. Time is just flying by! I cannot wait to hold my baby boys though. I dream about it all the time.
Next Christmas there will be two additions to our little family photo. We can't wait!

Our Dream School.

Trevor was accepted to a couple dental schools yesterday and one of them was AT Still which is about 10 minutes from our house and has been Trevor's dream dental school for FOREVER!

We are so excited that Trevor was able to get into this school since it is so competitive, really hard to get into, has such a great dental program, and is so close to home! This was his number one choice and this school was all he could think about for months! He interviewed at 5 schools and all of them seemed great, but he said that he felt like AT Still was going to be the best school for him and he could totally see himself there. Trevor was one of 30 out of 4,000 people that was accepted yesterday!!

My husband is a genius and is such a hard worker. Seriously though. He has put so much time and effort into his classes and into the things that he needed to do in order to make it possible for him to go to this school. He would never settle for anything below an A and would over achieve in everything he did to prepare for dental school. We are so beyond excited to start a new chapter in our lives with our baby boys and to start our journey through dental school together in August. It will be a hard journey, but we know it will be worth it in the end. We are so proud of our Trevor and the wonderful husband and soon-to-be daddy he is. He does so MUCH for our little family. He reminds me every day that everything he does is for me and our boys and i cannot be more grateful for what an awesome man i married. I love him forever and and am so proud of all he does! We love you babe!

24 weeks!

I cannot believe that i am 24 weeks already!! This pregnancy is flying by! I could have my baby boys in my arms in just a couple months since twins like to come early! I seriously cannot wait to see my baby boys. I am going crazy! They seriously are the cutest things ever. I just can't get over it. I love them to death already. I love feeling them wiggle and jump around with each other in my belly all the time! Their favorite times to wiggle are just when i am going to sleep, when i am hungry, and when they hear their daddy's voice! Trevor spoke in church on Sunday and during his whole talk, the boys were jumping and kicking like crazy! As soon as his talk was done, the boys calmed down and stopped kicking. It was so cute! They love their daddy soooo much already. I hope these little boys look just like little Trevors. From the pictures that we can see now, they totally do and i love it!

I am having good and bad days when it comes to the pregnancy. I don't have the sickness anymore, but i do get really tired and uncomfortable a lot lately. It has even been hard to walk around even for an hour! My doctor said that i could go on bed rest at anytime so i am crossing my fingers that that doesn't happen for awhile! I have so much to get done! It is hard at times, but i wouldn't change it for the world. These boys and Trevor are my whole world and I cannot wait until they get here so that we can play and love on them!

We just had an ultrasound yesterday to monitor the babies' hearts and everything looks great! They are both measuring 1 lb. 4 oz. exactly! They are getting so BIG already!

Here are some adorable pics of them that we got yesterday. I just want to kiss all over these babies right now.
The boys were being stinkers so it was hard to get some good shots of their faces. They either kept moving or putting their hands in their faces right as we would take the pictures! It's like they don't want us to see them yet and to be surprised... haha. But we were still able to get a couple good ones!

I am in LOVE with these baby boys! I cannot wait until i have them in my arms!

October 27th.

Yesterday I found out the gender of my sweet babies...

THEY ARE BOYS!!!! We are so thrilled that we have little identical twin baby boys on the way. We cannot wait to meet them so they better hurry up and grow fast!

Trevor and I had been waiting to find out what these babies were ever since we got pregnant. October 27th felt like it couldn't come fast enough and then it finally came after a long wait!

Our appointment was at 3:15 p.m. so it seriously felt like i was waiting years as i was twiddling my thumbs up until the appointment. Good thing i was keeping myself busy with things so it made the time go by faster. At about 2:30 p.m., i got a call from the ultrasound facility and i about freaked out when i saw them calling me because i thought that they were going to cancel! They then told me that they were running behind so that my appointment time would be pushed back a bit. Good thing they didn't want to reschedule because they would have had one angry pregnant woman for sure. haha.

We finally got to the facility and we sat there for about an hour before we got called back. I could not stop fidgeting or moving around because i was so excited to know what they were already! We were finally got called back and we jumped out of our seats. We raced back to the back and they quickly started the ultrasound. The tech started doing her thing and examined a few things before going onto the gender. Then she pointed to the boy part on baby A (who might i add, was spreading his legs and throwing it in our view for visibility. It was hilarious) and it was definitely a baby boy! My heart sank and Trevor and I were both overwhelmed with happiness! We were having boys!! Since we confirmed the first baby was a boy, we assumed the other one was a boy too since they are identical, but we still wanted to check in case. The tech did some more examinations on the first baby and then finally went on to the next one. Then there it was! The baby boy part again! Both of our boys liked showing off their parts to us and were not shy at all! It was seriously the funniest thing ever. Of course Trevor was SUPER proud of them. haha.

You can tell which baby is which by a letter A or B on the left of the picture.

Baby B was being stubborn and wouldn't let us see his face! Still so adorable though.
Loving each other!
Still loving each other!
Boy!
Look at that cute butt!
Baby A showing us how cute he is! Love!
Boy!


The boys are doing great and are healthy! The doctor talked with us this morning about the ultrasound and gave us a little feedback about what we should be expecting from now on. I have to go in every two weeks now for an ultrasound just to check their size and how they are growing. They are both already 8 ounces, but he said that they are little bit lower than normal when it comes to their weight at this stage of the pregnancy. He said that it was nothing to worry about, but that we want to keep an eye on them to make sure they are growing on track. They then have to get an echocardiogram done in about 4 weeks to check their hearts since they are monochorionic twins. All this testing is standard for these types of twins so i am ok with it. All i care about is that my babies are healthy!

We could not be happier about our babies being cute boys! The pregnancy just feels so much more real now knowing what our sweet babies are. We are so excited to be a mommy and a daddy and cannot wait for these babies to be out already! We already love them so much and love every time we get to see them up on the screen. It really is the best thing ever. Now it's time to SHOP!

These are the first thing on my list for the boys :)
