Twins

Here is the first ultrasound. The first 10 minutes of the ultrasound was done only on the baby on the right with the assumption that there was only one baby. At the end of the ultrasound the doctor quickly swept to the right and said, "Hold on wait a minute. I think I just discovered why your uterus is so big. There is a twin...No, that is the same one, Wait.... there are two... No....Um, Yes I am sure! See here, You are having twins!" What a roller coaster!!! Afterward he looked at me and asked, "Do you need to sit down?" I guess I looked a little bit shocked.

Now we have had a week and a half to start adjsting to the thought of two infants and still are in a state of shock. Daily we think of several things that we will need to do to prepare or that will change our daily lives once the babies are finally here.

You can see in the ultrasound that there is a line between the two babies. That is really good! Separate sacs means that they have their own blood supply, and there are many less complications for them growing in the womb. Due date is aroung the end of August, but 32-36 weeks is average for twins so we are hoping for somewhere after the first of August. What a rollercoaster ride!!

Is this a boy? The doctor made an educated guess but I hav no clue. Never have been able to figure ultrasounds out!!

My Turn On Earth Family Home Evening

We decided to listen to My Turn On Earth for Family Home Evening and talk about why we are on the earth and gaining a body. The music was just sooooo good that we had to get up and dance!! Enjoy the show. P.S. My favorite part about this whole video is Sara's laughter in the background.

God Vs. The Super Bowl

Confession time! So, a couple of weeks ago Sara and I were discussing the merits of scheduling a church meeting smack dab in the middle of the Super Bowl. And I being the facetious man that I am commented (tongue in cheek, mind you), "I had better not schedule a meeting because today the Super Bowl is more important than God!" We both got a good laugh at that as we curled up on the couch to watch Bruce Springstein use too much momentum and knee slide right into the waiting camera (I thought that was funnier than any of the commercials). The problem with making a comment like that in my household is that there are always 6 little ears that hear everything that is said but don't necessarily catch all the sarcasm that is included in the conversation.

Last week as we retrieved our daughter from a friend who had been tending her my friend looked at me funny and said, "Do you know what Sabby told me? She said, My dad thinks that the Super Bowl is more important than God!" Note to self, Be more careful of how you use sarcasm around Sabby!
