Surprise! Twins!

When I was looking at my sister Alisha's ultrasound image of her twins I kind of had a slight feeling "what if I had twins too".  I kind of felt like that was a slight heads up to prepare me.  

When I went in for my 8 week ultrasound and the tech was first zooming in I asked her "am I seeing what I think I'm seeing". "Is there two? No way". Like my thoughts were confirmed.  We for sure had twins on the way. Totally ironic for like no twins for a couple of generations and then both Alisha and I to both be expecting twins at the same time. 

Thank you mom

Kendra some times has a lot of energy and will repeat exactly what I told her not to do with a smile and a squeal. Though she is very polite.  She will often repeat "thank you mom" until she knows for sure I had heard her.  She'll often ask with a please. Very cute when she does it. 

Lost Child

I never imagined that I would have a miscarriage. I had been spotting a little so I went in for an ultra sound.  Baby had  measured two weeks too small and had a very faint heartbeat. I'm kind of glad I had one more week until my next ultrasound.  A week to prepare my mind that "this isn't right".   At the next ultrasound it was a definite no heartbeat. I was given meds to help baby pass.  I'm so glad that baby only got to six weeks in size verses the nine weeks he/she should have been. It would have been harder.  After the first two sets of pills I believe I passed baby and the pills too.  But I was told to take all of them to be sure to clear everything.  After the first two sets bleeding had slowed down.  I didn't feel much cramping with the third set.  Then the fourth set I took over night.  That one didn't feel good. It didn't feel like cramping it just stung/burned where the pills were at.  It might be because I was clear of baby or maybe because I was no longer moving around like I was when I was awake. I got up and took two ibuprofen. It must have fended the pain enough to go back to bed.  9/27/16

Heaven

Aubree: Why did Heavenly Father want our baby? 

Aubree: Why didn't Kendra died?  

She was wondering why this baby died but not Kendra. 

You make your mark

While I was making room for Mike and Debbie to move in I moved the elliptical.  While moving it Aubree said "you make your Hand Painting".  As in she was referring to how the dinosaurs in the "The Good Dinosaur" movie make their mark (like the Indians put their hand print on the wall).  Doing harder things make your mark apperantly.
