Doctor's Appointment

So, the appointment for this week went great! I only gained 2 pounds, which freaks Joseph out (he thinks I should gain more) which brings my total weight gain to 9 pounds, an average of 3 pounds per baby sounds good to me. I will probably start back on the "Muscle Milk" to help with weight gain but to also help with my calcium intake, which has been not stellar and lead to the most unbearable pain I've ever experienced in my life...a leg cramp. Which 36 hours later is still very tight and sore and has me limping some.

All the babies looked great on our quick little scan. Claire actually decided to join her brother and sister and is now head down. They just all want to talk with each other. They are little stinkers if you ask me...yesterday they were kicking pretty good so I call Joseph over and we wait.............they stopped. Joseph removed his hand and went back to his spot, they moved. Yes, it's going to be a long lotta years with these babies. Dr. M. assured me that though I don't feel them moving nearly as much as I would like in the next few weeks they are really going to get going and probably keep me awake and uncomfortable and all that good stuff. I just need to feel them so I'm able to relax. So soon they say....

And finally, the answer to the question of how big did I actually measure?! Just so everyone knows what this means (that's you Dad!) they measure my big ol' belly and that number is close to how many weeks along you are. I, of course, will measure further along then I really am because I'm carrying three babies as opposed to just one. Anyway, 17 days ago I was 17 weeks along and measured at 20 weeks. Today, I'm almost 20 weeks and measured 29 weeks...YIKES! Thanks to my Mom (I wouldn't expect anything else outta her) and someone else (are you going to claim your vote?!) who voted BIG in the poll...you were right, that's for sure. At the rate of which I am growing my body is going to think it's time for these babies to get on outta there. I've got to be really careful in all my activity and stuff to keep them in there snug as long as possible.

Dr. M. is very concerned about me working, but says as long as I feel good and the babies aren't coming out (they are not, they are actually up pretty high today he said) then I'm fine. I really feel great, I'm super tired at the end of the day, but for the most part feel so good. My back gets sore very easily if I stand too long and sometimes pressure will build up downtown if I sit to long, so I just make sure to stay in a chair and then move to another chair and so on and so on. This is the first full week I have worked since the week before Christmas, so it's taking me some time to adjust to working all day, everyday again. We are considering me taking a day, or half day, each week but I've got to save as many days as possible, so for now, I will continue to work and let my sweet class act like the teacher.

Alright...so my quick update turned into a really long post. Thanks for checking in on us and I'm sure I'll update soon...maybe with snow pictures, nursery pictures or Joseph, my brother and Lauren running in their 5K this weekend...who knows. As always, thanks for sharing in our journey and please always Remember Jackson!



Oh...and yesterday morning I woke up to a completely painted nursery! There needs to be another coat put on, but it looks so GREAT! I can't wait to show off all of Joseph's hard work...you'll be amazed at how great it looks!

Step 2...started!

Last night as I was updating the blog Joseph began phase 2 of the nursery...he has pretty much trimmed out the whole room and soon it will be ready for paint. I think paint will begin going on the walls Thursday and Friday (and maybe tonight if Joseph is feeling real froggy). It's so exciting to see all the hard work he's been doing and knowing that it's because we are having triplets. Does that really blow anyone else's mind sometimes?! It still shocks me on some days...don't know if I'll ever get use to it!

Anyway, so that's the only real update I have today. I did take a "done up" picture this morning, they always turn out a little bit better (I almost typed a little big there, judge for yourself)...









And now I'm off to work on my shower invitation list. I'm only have a few (work, friends/family, and one in Newberry) so the list is pretty long...I gotta get working. It stresses me out because I don't know who to invite, who not to invite, don't want to hurt feelings, stuff like that. I think I'm going for the "invite everyone and hope they aren't offended" method, and if it offends you, sorry. Now, if you are just itching to get an invitation, let me know and I'm sure that can be arranged! So...off to work I go. I'm even disconnecting the laptop from the internet and moving to a comfy spot because it's going to take awhile, and once I turn my list over to Chrissy I get to see the invitation, now that's motivation! Thanks for checking in on me/us. I'll be back Thursday or Friday evening with an update on my appointment. As always, please Remember Jackson!

Step 1...check

Yesterday on the nasty rainy afternoon Joseph got the first step of the nursery done...it is now primed. We had to use a tinted primer to cover up the nasty green and to accommodate the color we chose. Below are updated pictures of the nursery...

Here is Joseph priming away...










Here is the finished coat of primer...









So, Joseph and I are really excited to be finally working on a nursery again. We had a blast decorating Jackson's and we have waited years to do it again. One thing we always seem to agree on really quickly is paint colors. So, yesterday after the priming was done we couldn't wait to go get the paint. Here is a little hint (or big if you are pretty observant) of the paint color/colors...










And finally, I did have Joseph take a belly pic of, but it's horrific looking (that seems to be how things are looking in my house lately). I'm going to go try for one more, and if it doesn't work, well then, I guess the horrific one goes up! I'll be right back....ummmm, OK, so my belly pics just aren't too flattering tonight. We'll try again in the morning when I'm "done up" as Joseph likes to say. I'm already in my pj's and well, just yuck for tonight.

Anyway...so that's what we have completed in the nursery. Step 2 is under way as I type. I'm excited to scoot on over there and see how it looks. As always, thank you for sharing in our journey. You'll hear from me soon...either about my "big" (thanks MOM!) belly or with pictures of step 2 completed. And also, please always, Remember Jackson!

Welcome to Week 19!

Week 19 is a big week for us...we have begun buying stuff for the nursery, by stuff, I mean stuff to paint it, and well, actually we've only bought primer because the room is a horrific green (pictures will be below). But...it's a start, and we know where we want to go with the nursery, so we are just excited to get started. If you are interested in the theme of the nursery, well, you'll have to find our registries and see if you can figure it out...I'm going to make you work for it of course!

So, before I get to the before pics of the nursery I thought I better let everyone know how I'm/we're doing. Early this week I was a bit down, just really anxious and nervous. I know y'all must be praying for me and keeping us in your thoughts because I feel a lot better already. I do feel the babies everyday, and some days it's more then others, but I can tell they are getting stronger which is calming my fears big time. I go back Thursday to Dr. M. and I'm interested to see how big I measure. I'm guessing it's going to be around 24-25 weeks, I've really started to pop out. Hopefully I'll get a picture tonight (family game night at my house) and can put it up soon. Anyway...family is going to start arriving soon, so on with the before pictures of the nursery...a little photographic scrapbook!









This is when we brought all the baby stuff we had outta the attic and dropped it into what would be the nursery...it was a lotta stuff!












This is the some of the keep stuff somewhat organized. Please note the horrific green paint, old blinds and ever more horrific curtains...all to be replaced soon!









This is a crib...can you tell?! Just showing off our one crib. This will probably be in our room first for all three babies, then moved into the nursery when they start sleeping in their own cribs, or kept in our room for a fussy one, or who the heck really knows...it's a crib, in front of horrific green walls!









This last picture really has nothing to do with the nursery exactly, but more of a "this is the reason why we don't really need boy clothes right now" in case you see something about that on an invitation or something. Who knows...Abby and Claire may be wearing lots of blue too! And, we consigned a good chunk of clothes that I just didn't really care for...that's a lotta clothes! Oh, and the walls are still horrifically green here too!

So, that's the before pictures of the nursery. I'm excited to get to work on it (well, ok, excited to watch Joseph get to work on it) and show off what it looks like as we go along. As always, thanks for checking in on us and sharing in our journey. We are glad to have you along for the ride. Also, as always, please Remember Jackson!



And, I put a little poll up for the fun of it...vote!

Sorry for the Delay...

I know it's Thursday, and I went to the doctor on Monday and I was suppose to update and I didn't...sorry, again, for like the one millionth time! Anyway...I guess I've been avoiding updating because I wasn't super thrilled with how the appointment went. So, let me break it down for you...

My appointment was suppose to be at 2:45, we were there at 2:40 like good little patients and I was called back to a room at 3:30. Yes, that's a wait time of 45 minutes, which was crazy. Then Lauren introduces herself as my tech, and I may have hurt her feelings because I asked where Andrew was, and she offered to get him, I declined, but maybe I should have. Why you ask?! Well little Lauren labeled my babies all wrong and had the Abby and Claire switched and I told her so, but she did not believe me. A mother knows these things...well that, and Abby is lowest and will always be on the right, they can not switch sides, but they can flip being head down or feet down. Abby prefers to be head down (she loves to put all the pressure on me) while Claire prefers to be feet down...maybe they like smelling each other's feet (if they could smell and were in the same sac and everything!). Anyway, so we are scanning along...very specific scan again today to look at heart development and for clefts...I'm happy to report all hearts looked great and all upper lips looked great too, ZERO signs of any trouble. I did ask ahead of time for a CD and great pictures, I got neither. She was zoomed in so far that when she printed the pictures they are actually blurry-yuck! I guess all the oh let's take cute pictures moments are gone-yuck! So moving on, in comes Dr. S. who notices the babies are labeled wrong, I tell her I know, poor little Lauren looks confused, we get the babies correctly labeled, Dr. S. does her peek at all of them, doesn't reassure me about my fear of "are the babies moving enough?" and says ok, let me tell you how they are doing. Brayden and Claire weigh about 8 oz. each and Abby weighs about 7 oz. Not a big deal right?! But, Abby is measuring a little bit behind, just a couple of days, but the difference between her and Brayden is 12%, which is up from the last scan which was 11%. Abby has always measured smallest, but on Monday it just flipped me out big time. I don't know if it was just the stress of the bad appointment, the fact that Joseph wasn't there with me (I had 4 others though, no worries there!) or just me flipping out because I'm afraid. Anyway...Dr. S. (and Jean my genetic lady) assure me all babies are perfectly fine, as long as they are with in 20% of each other with growth then that is normal. I will be fine once the babies get here (in many, MANY weeks) and are home in our house crying, letting us know they are healthy. I'm very eager to really feel them kick, I feel them flip and roll and stuff, but I want some good strong kicks. That's coming, I know!

So, anyway...that is how the appointment went Monday. I go back next week Thursday to my regular OB and he'll do great easing my fears and all that stuff. Then the following Monday it's back to the specialist. So...until these babies are here I'm asking that you keep me in your prayers that I will calm down, not be a worry wart and just enjoy this pregnancy. As always, thanks for sharing in our journey and please, always, Remember Jackson!

Week 18 Already?!

18 weeks and 1 day to be exact...time is flying by, and I'm not really sure how I feel about that. I'm just trying so hard to take everything in with the pregnancy and enjoy because I know it's my last, and well it's my first normal one too and I just want to enjoy it! There are downsides to it...heartburn, backache, whale sized, shortness of breath, but then on the upswing...there are THREE healthy babies growing inside me, Joseph and I are so much closer, the planning, the decorating, I'll be honest-the attention...it's just all so wonderful and it's going way too fast!

I'm struggling a bit with week 18 because Joseph is missing a lot of it. He went away for a guys weekend Friday morning and is coming back Sunday night, which I know isn't long, but I had a MAJOR breakdown...I just know the babies are going to start kicking harder and your not going to be here to feel them kinda breakdown. Needless to say, they haven't kicked too much harder, but I do think they are getting stronger. Then, come to find out that Monday morning Joseph has to leave to go out of town and won't be back until Tuesday night. I haven't had another breakdown yet, but I'm sure in the morning it'll happen. Maybe a baby or two will cooperate and give their Daddy a big kick tonight. Coke, ice cream, candy bars...nothing is going to be safe tonight as I try to make that happen! I'm actually quite proud of Joseph having to go out of town...he's going to the president of the company's house to do some landscaping for them. How awesome is it that he was asked to be one to help lead that little project. Apparently the president hasn't heard that his wife is pregnant with triplets and a little emotional. Oh well...he'll be back before I know it, and it is an extra night with the whole bed and as many prop pillows as I want surrounding me in the bed-yay!

So...week 18 marks kinda another big week. The ultrasound that I will have Monday (which Joseph won't be able to make-arrgghh!) is going to be looking even more in depth at the heart. They were able to see all major things two weeks ago, but this week the hearts are fully developed so that is what they are checking on. Plus they will be checking Claire and Abby for fluid levels and growth more closely...remember "poly-oly" which there have not been any signs of, but they will be checking every two weeks. I hope to get an approximate weight on them again because I just think that's really cool. And hopefully Andrew will be able to get us some good pictures. I'm excited that my brother and sister-in-law are going with me, plus a few girlfriends, so there will be plenty of people there with me! I'm sure I'll do an update on how the appointment goes soon.

So, that's all for this week. Nothing major has been going on, well once you get over the growing three babies part. I hope to begin working on the nursery sometime this week, it just depends. I've also got to decide what I'm going to do about the stuff we are selling. I don't know if it's best to take it to a shop or wait for the big sale coming up soon. I'm just not too sure what I'll do. I've also got tons of stuff for a yard sale, but can you have a yard sale in January/February? Craigslist and EBay might become my best friend. Anyway...thanks for checking in on us...everything is great at the Hedgepeth Hangout. We'll update soon. As always, please Remember Jackson!

Hair! Hair! Hair!

So, according to the horrific amount of heartburn I have had and the old wives' tales that are out there, these babies are going to have some hair! Just thought I'd share that with my blog world. Heartburn stinks, but I wouldn't have it any other way! So, what do you think...are these babies all going to come out with heads full of hair?! I can't wait to find out, well, I can wait another 16 weeks, but I'm pretty excited about it!

Does this shirt make me look fat?!

Updated below with a "done up" picture as Joseph calls it...

So, for your viewing pleasure I decided to take a belly pic tonight. And I actually decided to take it because apparently my choice of outfits today made me look bigger then normal...this based on the amount of people who made some kinda comment about my belly or touched it in amazement (and I promise NONE of this bothers me at all!). So, I made Joseph take some pictures...


At first I thought all the fuss was because I had my shirt buttoned just above my belly, so then I pulled it back, and well, you can see below, that's not the problem either...





Joseph did ask me at some point if I should be taking the picture in the morning when I'm "done up" which made me laugh. This picture is after a 13 hour day (mostly spent in a chair though) so maybe in the morning when my hair is did I'll have him take another one!

So...apparently it has nothing to do with my shirt selection...let's keep in mind though, I am pregnant with triplets after all! Oh well...continue reading for some answers to questions....









Let's see...and I did have a few questions asked that I thought I'd go ahead and clear up. Someone did ask me why I have to get so many ultrasounds...great question (remember I'm a teacher and no question is ever dumb except the question not asked!). Anyway...I get an ultrasound at my regular OB just to identify a heartbeat in each baby. They can not distinguish between the three using the doppler, so that ultrasound is just checking for heartbeats. They do not do any measurements or anything, though they do let us watch them for a few minutes because it's just amazing to me to see a baby move around on the screen, which is something we never saw with Jackson. Still just amazing to me!

As for the specialist and those ultrasounds, they are checking for something very important. The girls (who we need to stop referring to as the girls and start using their names), I mean Abby and Claire, are identical twins and share a placenta (blood and nutrients). They are at risk of developing something called "twin to twin transfusion". What this means is basically that one baby can dominate and take all the blood, nutrients and fluid. So at each ultrasound they are looking at fluid levels and to make sure each of them is growing at the same rate and one is not dominating. They have a little term called "poly-oly" where poly means to much fluid and oly means to little fluid. So far there have been ZERO signs of this happening, so there is no real worry right now. It is actually something that can be corrected if caught early, so I am happy to let them check everyday if they need to. The chances of this occurring is around 15%, so though not very high, just something to keep an eye on.

Anyway, that's all for this time around. I'm off to bed. Only two more days with kids this week then a workday, then a 3 day weekend with an ultrasound on Monday...tough life I know! As always, thanks for sharing in our journey, and please always, Remember Jackson!

I ♥ my doctors!

Does finding cute symbols make up for my lack of blogs? Or, how about actually updating about my appointment today? Anyway...my appointment today went GREAT! I really am lucky to have a team of such great doctors. I only see 2 at my regular OB, and today it was Dr. McClelland who hasn't seen me since sending me to the specialist for the hives. So...needless to say he was overjoyed with our news, sat with us for a long time answering all of our questions and Joseph and I left there feeling great. Here is a run down of how the appointment went...

*I gained about 7 pounds in a month-go me!
*I am measuring 20 weeks, which I didn't think was that bad.
*All babies looked great...yes, I got a free ultrasound to check very quickly for heartbeats since it is impossible to hear three different beats!
*I got a new prenatal vitamin (for free) that is only one pill-yay!
*Have orders to check my thyroid...we talked too long and the lab closed, oops!
*Dr. M. also has extreme faith in me making it to 32 weeks. That's a lot of pressure to cook these babies.
*Dr. M. still makes the schedule, so I'll probably be able to sweet talk him into scheduling Dr. H. and him together to deliver the babies.
*We talked about the NICU at Piedmont, which he assures me is very capable of handling the babies. However, if any issues other then breathing arise, they would most likely transfer somewhere else.
*I will be going back to my regular OB every 2 weeks, which means an ultrasound every week, because I see the specialist on weeks I'm not at the regular OB. I also think this is going to make the time go by REALLY fast. This pregnancy is so much different then the others and I just want to enjoy it, but at the same time, I've come to grips with being high-risk and know they need to see me.
*Dr. M., who put me on Clomid, assumed, just like the rest of the world, that we had gone back to IVF. It was nice to see his reaction when I told him nope, just the drugs he gave me, well, and some praying too!
*Reassured me that even though I feel as though Abby might be falling out (can you say pressure big time) she will not, and her sister and brother will stay there too.
*Prepared me for the fact that contractions are going to start sooner rather then later, and they aren't hurtful at this point but my activity will effect these, so I'm to stay off my feet as much as possible.
*Gave me the go ahead to get a prenatal massage-thank you says my back!

So...that was pretty much it for the appointment. I told you we talked forever and he was so excited to talk with us and answer our questions. I am truly so thankful to have the support of such great family and friends, but also of doctors who have been with me since the beginning...Dr.M. put me in the hospital (3 times actually) and started the induction and Dr. H. delivered Jackson, so the fact that they are still my two primary doctors puts me at such ease. Anyway, thanks for checking in and we'll chat soon hopefully. At least you know there is another appointment soon, and Andrew will be taking the pictures (which I'm sure will be much better) so I'll hopefully have some to put up next week. As always, please Remember Jackson!

Week 17

I'm working hard on earning back my title of worst blogger ever, but things have been so busy. Week 17 officially marks the halfway point, since they will take the babies at 34 weeks. What's going on with those little babies you ask?! Well, come to find out, my book is just wrong, wrong, wrong...it says the babies should weigh 3.5 oz., but at the ultrasound this week Abby weighed about 5 oz, Claire and Brayden weighed about 6 oz. each, so that's pretty off from the book. The ultrasound lady said they are the size of a regular snickers bar...I love snickers bars! Anyway, speaking of ultrasounds, did you know I had a big one this week? They did a 16 week anatomy scan checking all the organs and growth. I'm super proud to announce that all babies passed with flying colors! They only thing that they couldn't check off the list was no cleft pallet and the heart. They were able to see lots of good stuff with the heart, but it's not completely developed until around 18 weeks, so they will check it then. I will go in for ultrasounds every 2 weeks from now on, darn. I will admit, I was nervous going into this last one because it had been so long and well, I just worry. My next scan is on the 19th! This week I will go to my regular OB, which should be fine. There is nothing major going on. I am afraid that my thyroid is off (think back to the hives and over medicating to prevent hives), and I think this is keeping me from gaining the weight. But, I've gained a good 2-3 pounds in the last month hopefully! I also need to find a new prenatal vitamin because mine is no longer available in generic...it took 3-4 different pills to find one that didn't upset my stomach-great fun. I will try to report how that appointment goes, but you know, we've been busy.

So...what else have we done this week?! Well, the nursery was cleaned out and all things baby were dropped into the room. Tuesday night my mom came and we organized it some, then on Wednesday night Michelle and Chrissy helped me organize even more, list included. We decided what to throw away (not too much), what to sell (some stuff), what to keep (lots!) and what to put in my Jackson box (which I'm proud of myself for letting things go...they are just things). After 3-4 hours we had sorted everything...and I had my list to go register. Registering was overwhelming, very thankful for my list, my husband and my other BFF Lisa for being there. After another 3-4 hours, we are registered! We went with 2 places...Babies R Us and Target. We decided to give as many choices as possible because there are things we really need and hopefully between these two stores we'll get everything. It's been a huge weight lifted off of our shoulders and now we can enjoy waiting for the babies and getting the nursery ready. I can't wait to post pictures of that-we haven't even started!-but there are some wicked good ideas going on in this head of mine! I also kinda planned, or I guess I should say scheduled two showers. I'm so thankful for all the people who want to help us. Joseph and I have always been overwhelmed with all the love and support.

So...that's where we are right now. A lot of the tough stuff is over, and now we get to get to the fun stuff, like the nursery! Thanks for checking in on us. As always, please Remember Jackson!

and babies

And...my pictures aren't great this time, but I'll try to put some up after our class tonight. We are learning to find "Financial Peace" with Dave Ramsey, which us luck!

Happy Birthday Baby Boy...

It is SO hard for me to comprehend that Jackson would have been 3 years old today. I remember like it was yesterday the day he was born. This year, we remember him and know that he is with us everyday...I feel his brother and sisters kicking me to remind me of what our journey has been. For those of you who have been there since the very beginning...thank you!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY JACKSON COLE!

We love you with all of our hearts,
Mommy, Daddy and LOTS of others!

Happy New Week!

and Happy New Year too! What do you have to look forward to in 2010? I'm having a hard time deciding...ok, well maybe Abby, Claire and Brayden are all I ever wanted and they will be here before any of us know it! Even though I'm only at week 16 (woohoo!) look at it this way...my goal for myself is 32 weeks because I just think that's what it's going to be, and well, week 16 puts me HALF WAY THERE! Is that not crazy?! So, as I flip out about baby furniture, nursery decorating, registering and showers do not call me crazy, just call me getting prepared, because another reality of being pregnant with triplets is that bed rest can happen at ANY minute. So...I am choosing to be prepared and hope to scratch several things off of the list this week. Thankfully the nursery is almost cleaned out (so close, but I'm so tired it'll wait until tomorrow, or the next day) and then I can start bringing down all things baby from the attic for my assistant Chrissy, and possibly another assistant Michelle (though I don't know if she's as into organizing, making list and taking control as Chrissy?) to inventory. Then we'll decide what we need and register, with the help of my assistants hopefully. This triplet stuff is not easy, there's A LOT of stuff to think about. Also this week I hope to get my husband to agree on a theme for the nursery. He's all into this plain kinda stuff, and I want a little more, but we'll just have to see. We've decided to cram all babies into one room, so we have to find a nursery that works for everyone...oh goodness!

So anyway...on to the stuff every really wants to know right, what's going on with babies this week?! Well according to the "book" (which I probably should give correct credit to being the law abiding citizen that I am, but I've already told you once what it was, so look below if you really need to know...for all that explaining, I could've just typed the title again!) where was I?! Oh, the "book" says babies are about 4 1/3 to 4 2/3 inches long and weight about 2 3/4 ounces. No object comparison, but I think they are freaking huge (according to my belly...I know, I know...I need a belly pic. Maybe as assistant will help me out...). The babies have tiny hairs growing all over their bodies and they have grown fingernails. Arms and legs are just a moving and though I have not felt a strong kick, I can feel them floating around in there. They really got to moving on the bumpy road to and from Newberry which was fun. Hopefully soon they'll really start kicking because I can't wait for Joseph to feel them!

Many have asked how am I doing, so I thought I take a quick minute to answer that. Throwing up has stopped-woohoo! Heartburn has kicked in big time-boo! Tums are my new best friend. My back, butt and hips are killing me, but I think it's because of how I have to sleep. Of course no sleeping on the belly, and they say laying on the left side is better, but it's so freaking uncomfortable. And of course, no sleeping flat on my back. So, I prop pillows everywhere to try to catch the massive belly and make it comfy. I get up at least 3 times a night (11, 1 and 4) to use the bathroom and rolling out of bed is tough. We are going to lower our bed so that I won't have to fall so far! Weight gain I think is going in the right direction, but I won't know until next Monday when I go to my regular doctor. I feel very up, and I go back to school tomorrow and I've kept track of it there too, so we'll see what it says. That's me in a nutshell. This pregnancy is 100% different from when I was pregnant with Jackson, and though I still worry a lot I am really enjoying it. Most enjoyable part...Joseph. He has been amazing and I am so thankful he's by my side, or as close as he can get! He is really taking good care of me and helps me in any way possible. I got up this morning and went into the living room (we were at his dad's house) and he immediately got up for me to sit. Then I went to get a Coke and he wanted to go get it for me...I actually said to him not dead, just pregnant! He's just being so helpful, though he is on my back about food all the time, but I know he means well. I'm just super lucky to have him! And he cleaned the entire house the other night when I was out for girl's night...he just rocks! Anyway, we are both just really enjoying this pregnancy, anticipating the babies getting here and I really think falling in love with one another even more...life is pretty dang good around here!

So, that is that. I hope all of you had a safe and wonderful New Year. Can't wait to see all of the amazing things that are going to happen this year. As always, thanks for sharing in our journey and please always Remember Jackson!
