20 weeks
We have had a fun filled week at our home this week filled with lots of family and friends. The fun started out on Wednesday, 12/19, when we went to our 20 week ultrasound. Everything looks great and the babies are growing right on schedule.The babies weigh about 13 oz and 15 oz so they have a long way to go yet! Prior, to the ultrasound I had done the wedding ring gender test which said we were having boys (although twins may have thrown that off a bit.) Plus the heart rates were going down at each appointment, another reason we thought maybe boys. By the time I went in on Wednesday the babies heart rates were back up to 160 and 157 and they were active as ever.......Aaron and I both looked at each other because we new this most likely meant girls (according to the old wise tale). The ultrasound tech, who is super nice and who I have had do all my ultrasounds with Alec and with twins, confirmed TWIN GIRLS! We are so excited and blessed to have these little girls join our family! Alec has said all along that he was having sisters so he must have known something we didn't.
Alec and I celebrated by making his gingerbread train :)
Thursday night we celebrated Christmas with my immediate family at our house, 10 kids, 11 adults and 1 overdue baby as well since my sister-in-law Ruth was due on 12/19. It was a lot of fun too to have everyone all together.
These are some of the best pictures we could get with the kiddos
Friday and Saturday were filled with time with friends as we celebrated the wedding of our 2 close friends, Brad and Jaclyn. The wedding and ceremony were beautiful and it was fun to all come together for this celebration.
Then today we finally welcomed another little girl into our family, 4 days overdue Brook Marie decided to make her appearance. Congratulations to my brother Josh and sister in law Ruth on your precious bundle of joy.
