Well lets start with Friday night... What a night!! The daddies had gifted my husband and I tickets to the Darius Rucker concert. We had tickets in the pit, right in front of the stage! Hubby and I had a total blast! While I was sure I would enjoy the concert, it was 10 times better than I even thought it would be! Darius Rucker was awesome!! Can't wait to see him again when I feel more like me!!
Saturday morning the Daddies flew down here. My wonderful hubby was cooking/smoking 300 lbs of Boston Butts for a friends wedding. Me and my boys met the dad's for lunch, we had a nice lunch together, great to see each other again! By the time we were done with lunch they were able to check into their hotel, and rest up for a few, then head over to our friends wedding. First time the Daddies got to see a real down home country wedding. It was a beautiful wedding and great reception in an awesome barn out in a huge field. Hundreds of guests, great food (thanks to my hubby) music and dancing and loads of fun! It was nice to have the Daddies with us, and I think they really did enjoy themselves with us. We parted ways for the night and made plans for a great little breakfast place to meet up at and spend the day together on Sunday.
After a wonderful breakfast we all piled into our minivan and went for a drive up the mountain. We took them to a couple of beautiful spots to look out at and some gorgeous water falls. It was a great day, the weather was wonderful and we all had an awesome time.
After a great time outside and hiking, it was time for me to take a nap... LOL So we came back down the mountain, all got a little rest and then we headed to our little bowling alley. My boys were anxious to take the Daddies bowling in our little town. We bowled two games and then went out to dinner, Alyssa my 17 year old daughter and a couple of her friends joined us, so we had a good group for dinner. The teenagers left us after dinner and we headed over to my favorite little yogurt place for a wonderful dessert!! Of course I loaded it with raspberries and strawberries again! yum yum!!
It was a long and eventful day and it was time to call it a night. Ultrasound appointment was first thing in the morning and have almost an hour drive to get there.
My husband and I have a friend who has been to an appt already with us, and wanted to join us for this one also and finally get to meet the daddies, so she came over early in the morning to ride along with us for the day.
Here we show up for an ultrasound appointment, me, my hubby, our two boys, our friend Wanda and the two Daddies... So thankful we have such an awesome birthing center and great staff who are all so welcoming and excited to see so many of us walk in together. So we had a room full for the ultrasound, but it was awesome! Great views of both babies, they were showing off and active. It was wonderful to hear and see all the excitement!!
Here is the whole ultrasound it is 19 minutes long, but very neat to watch!

After a completely awesome time at the birthing center, we all headed over to tour the hospital that I plan to deliver at. The hospital time was great, the labor and delivery nurse who gave us a tour and shared all kinds of info with us was wonderful. While I am sad that I can not deliver in the birthing center, this hospital really seems like a welcome 2nd place.
We all shared lunch together before we headed home and the dad's headed to the airport. It was a wonderful weekend together and a great ultrasound appointment. Our next one will be November 10th, and if babies cooperate, we will be able to give them names after instead of calling them baby A and baby B. I am kind of anxious to find out if they get two girls, two boys or one of each. After my first dream about delivery, I am stuck with the feeling that there is one boy and one girl. I have even had a couple more dreams... always with Baby B as the boy and Baby A as the girl. So very curious to see if there is any truth to my dreams.
I am very much looking forward to the sickies to go away, and just really start to enjoy the pregnancy and experience the difference of actually carrying twins.
This past week I have been thinking I am starting to feel some soft movement, so this will be fun to see if I can tell the difference between the movement of the two or will I just feel like there is a bunch of arms and legs moving around in my belly. We are over the 13 week mark now and looking forward to the better times of 2nd trimester.
please ;-)
