I'm sick!

I came down with a cold this weekend! I hate being sick. I can't breathe and can't take anything!!! Ok, sorry I needed to rant a little.

Babies are doing good. I am feeling bigger kicks now.

22 weeks!

We ended up having our sonogram on Friday. The girls look great and are getting so big. Baby A (kinley) is one pound and Baby B (Madelyn) is 15 oz. I love getting to see them but it makes me sad too that I don't get to see them all the time. I can't believe that I am already 22 weeks it's crazy, seems like yesterday that I found out I was pregnant. I am feeling really good lately. I do not miss the morning sickness at all!!!! I am really starting to have trouble sleeping though. I just toss and turn all night. I have always been such a light sleeper anyways that having a huge stomach doesn't help or having to use the bathroom all the time. I am feeling both of the girls move now. It is really a neat feeling. It's not usually big kicks but more like flutters still. However some times one of them will kick pretty hard. Chris really wants to feel but so far no luck. He is being such a cute daddy already to his girls. I love listening to him talk to people about them. I know he is really excited to hold them.

My mom and went to babies R us and I think we picked out cribs. We have not bought them yet just in case we find something else. I really think I like this one though.

I guess thats it for now. Have a great week!

Names and a fender bender

Well not much is going on with us since my last update. We have been trying to figure out some names for our babies for the last couple months. I always thought this would be so much fun but oh no...it's not. I was so overwhelmed by the baby name books and the fact that everyone around you has a thought on the subject. Before we even knew we were pregnant with twins we have had a boy name and a girl name. Kinley and Canon. When we found out we were having twins everyone thought it was a boy and a girl, so we thought we might already be done with the whole name thing. When we found out it was two girls I felt like we were at square one again. I was not sure I even wanted to use Kinley. AHHH, its been an adventure, trying to find names that both of us like. Anyways I think we are stuck on two names now. I did come around back to Kinley (chris's middle name is Lee) and Madelyn. Which for ones of you that read the Smith blog, I know her cute little girl's name is Madelynn (spelled different) but I really like it and didn't realize I was stealing until after I feel in love with that name. Thanks Smith Twins. As far as middle names go we are not completly there yet but working on it.



Ok, as far as the fender bender goes...I was in the smallest wreck ever. In fact I was not even sure we hit the lady but had just slammed on our brakes. Anyways I was not driving and neither was Chris but as soon as the insurance found out I was pregnant with twins they freaked out. I went to the doctor and had some tests ran. I am currently waiting for them to call back and schedule my sonogram since I was in a wreck. They were supposed to call yesterday and nothing so far....so annoyed. I am sure I am fine, and have heard both heartbeats so the girls are fine too. I just hate waiting around. Alright I guess thats it for now. I have been doing some shopping for our little ones(I can't help myself) and I have come to the conclusion that having little girls is going to be expensive!!!

Weekend in Review! Also our last appointment.

Well I am going to try to update as best I can. It's been a while. Don't worry thats why I put pictures so it wouldn't be too boring! This weekend My mom, aunt and I drove to Abilene for ACU Homecoming. Chris had to work so he couldn't go. My social club has a breakfast every homecoming and it's always nice to see old friends again. 

Then we went to the famous ACU HOMECOMING PARADE. 

My cousin and I at the Parade.(my brother decided that he would rather sleep) Can't blame him, I remember being a freshman.

Me at the parade!! Yes I know I am big. Although I get told "oh you're not big at all, not for twins" in the same day get told "you are so big"

Ok, so I had more pictures but blogger is not working. I will just have to tell you about our appointment on Monday. We are having...GIRLS!!!!!! They said we could paint everything pink if we wanted to. However, their room is already painted and its Sage green and Brown. I do LOVE pink though...just not sure their Daddy would like that. Anyways they said everything looked great. They are growing so much, both of them are weighing 10 ozs. Thats over one pound of baby in my tummy...I love it. We are getting so excited about them and really not sure if we can wait till March. 

Short update

We had an appointment on Friday.My Doctor read over the High risk doctor's report about our U/S and said everything looks perfect!!! I have to say that is one of the best things I have ever heard. I have been having crazy dreams lately about everything, good and bad. It was very reassuring to hear everything is great.
We went to Austin last weekend just to get away from everything and everyone. It was great, we visited Chris's brother. We didn't really do a lot but I have to tell you that's about what I needed. Sorry for such a short update but I am starving and need to go eat. BTW, morning sickness is pretty much gone!!!!! Finally!!!!

Our appointment!

Well, Chris and I had our first appointment with the specialist that I will see for sonograms. I think this was the first appointment that I have not been sick at (actually sick, morning sickness, etc). I was very thankful for that because I really wanted to enjoy this sono, the last one was a bit of a shock. We both talked about how we really don't remember much about it because as soon as she said "oh it's twins", we both went into shock. I know some people have four babies and that I out of anyone said be prepared but oh no... we were shocked!!!!

Anyways, we filled out what seemed like a thousand papers and finally we got to go back. As soon as she put the wand on my stomach, we could already tell that the babies had changed so much. They look more and more like little babies instead of beans. She asked if they could tell, did we want to know the gender. UH, Yeah...Chris has been waiting for this since I said I'm pregnant. (way funny story, another post) So she goes through everything on baby A and said everything looks good and it looks like a girl. So at this point Chris...FREAKING OUT! Baby B, she did the same thing, looked and said everything looks fine!! Also, girl!!! She did say that we should not do anything we can't undo, its so early. I am only 15 weeks. The tech walks out and says that the doctor will be right in...yeah, right. So I look at Chris and know that this did not go the way he had planned exactly. We talked about it all, the words have already been said by him "well...I guess this means we have to try again." Words that sound crazy at the moment to the pregnant girl laying on the table with gooey junk all over her stomach. He starts rambling things about two weddings and so forth. He calms down, we talk about how she didn't completely sounded sure about baby B. All the while I'm thinking...I got my two girls!!!! They are going to be so frilly...Wonder where I can buy those big bows for their heads...etc!!! After what was literally 45 mins. The doctor comes in, says everything looks great!!!! The best news at that appointment!! Again, states they both look like girls but don't do anything crazy. Hands us our pictures and we are off. All in all it was a great day!!

So now let me introduce to you...the Tarrant Twins!!!!! Probably girls!

Baby A

Baby B

Funny things that have been said when we say it's probably girls. (mostly so I will remember)

"poor Chris"-pretty much everyone

"dang"-my brother (actually is fine about, always been a inside joke that if we had two boys we would name them, Andrew and Matthew. He and his best friend)

"I knew it"-my mom and countless others

"Is Chris freaking out"-Suz

"Oh, Chris will melt as soon as he sees them"-Amy, my boss.

My FAVORITE SO FAR "Girls, well that's great as long as the next two are boys!!!"-My Dad

I am making it sound like we are not happy about two girls. We are so happy and feel so blessed with them no matter what sex. It's amazing how much you can love two little people you have never met. I have belly pics, just can't bring myself to posting them yet. I still haven't gotten over it's ok to look fat thing. I will, promise!!

My Sweet Husband.

Last week I had a pretty rough week! I caught a nasty stomach bug thing. Luckly it only lasted about 24 hours and then it was over. In that time though I had to miss work and miss a doctor's appointment. They actually just moved it too Friday, which was nice except I had to miss another day of work. Anyways lots of details I will not bore you with but it was just a bad week all around. Chris brought home flowers so I wanted to tell him thanks and put up the pics. They are just three flowers, the big flower is me and the two roses are my babies!




I have a appointment tomorrow for a sonogram. We are hoping that we will learn the sexes, trying not to get my hopes up though...too late!
