32 weeks

32 weeks and the belly measures 41! What are you kidding me? 

Being pregnant has its pros and cons. Well the pro of course to being pregnant is that you get to have a little bundle of joy(in my case 2) in your arms after living through the 9 months of cons. I do love it when you can finally feel the baby move, but when you have twins.. It's gets a little crazy in there.

Sunday I was getting ready for church, and none of my shoes would fit... I ended up wearing some flats, but by the time I got to church they where cutting of circulation! I guess it's flip flops in November.
It feels weird about setting their names, because Kassidy was switched 3 days before we had her.. But I needed names, just in case they decide to show up while Tyler is in Indiana... Baby A is going to be named Ashlyn. She is the calm one in my belly and doesn't cause much trouble. Except for that little detail of constant pushing on my pelvic bone!  Baby B will be named Jordyn. She is the one that is always on the move, and she likes to grind right into my hip. All day long... she never sleeps, or maybe she just sleep walks. Defiantly gives the doctors a run for their money. Every time I'm hooked up to any machine or ultrasound, she kicks or punches it. They always have the hardest time finding her heart rate, or at least keeping it on her long enough to get it. It will be interesting to see if that's how their personalities are or if they do a total switch..

 Oh and another con... My memory has gone out the window! I forget anything and everything. I left an amazing carmel apple on the top of my car and drove off of course. Then just the other day I took chicken out and left it in the microwave till I found it the next day. Gross right? Anyways, let the count down begin! 4 more weeks!!!

The Pumpkin Patch!

The pumpkin patch is always SO FUN!! I love watching Kassidy.  And this year Tripp had just as much fun. Tyler couldn't get him out of the sandbox. (Gross, I hate sandboxes!) We have went every year since we moved to Ohio, and next year I'm sure gonna miss it.

 The wagon ride is always a big deal.

 Tractors everywhere! Tripp had a blast. 

 This place has the coolest slides ever. I always go down them, but decided maybe not this year... :)

 Kassidy and her little friends Hannah & Ellie

 Picking the corn in the corn maze. Some corn tastes sweet when its fresh, but that corn was freaking NASTY!

 Grandpa would be so proud!

 Yes he wanted to jump off

 Thanks Tyler for cutting off the top of my head! At least the belly made it in there though.

 This is his new smile, you always have to say cheese right?

 His favorite tractor

 We always love it when daddy is able to come and hang out with us. (I think I enjoy it the most though, cause then he gets to run around chase crazy Kassidy and Tripp!)

 This picture took like 5 minutes, cause Tripp couldn't decide which pumpkin he wanted to sit on. Weird kid.

 The whole time we where there I kept smelling funnel cakes, but for 5 bucks... No thank you. Don't worry, I made them when we got home. And they where amazing!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

30 weeks, Cookies & Commando!

 Im 30 weeks now! WOOHOO! Only about 6-6.5 weeks left!!! I can do it. (At least thats what I keep telling myself.) The girls are growing great, they measure right around 3.5 pounds, and as of now both babies are head down. Lets hope they stay that way so I don't need a C-setion! We have a handful of names picked out, but nothing set in stone. I wish I just had their names picked so I could stop calling them A & B!

Halloween/ Holidays = Yummy cookies!! Tripp lasted about 2 cookies. (ate both)

 Kass always loves to help in the kitchen. And decorating cookies is her pride and joy. My favorite part was when Tyler came in and asked if he could eat the good ones... (I laughed!) After being married 6.5 years you think he would know the answer to that question.. Next he asked dead serious, "Why do I always get the rejected ones?" BAHA!!!!

Last but not least... My commando son! So gross!  I didn't know they started that young! Tripp has hit the stage of not letting me help him with ANYTHING! And its driving me nuts! Sometimes I'm in a hurry and just want things done, but NO. Not on his watch. At least in this picture the underwear isn't inside out.(which happens a lot.) Just the other day Tyler noticed Tripp wasn't wearing any underwear under his jeans. First of all, OUCH!! Second of all, we had just went for a bike ride. Wouldn't that have hurt? And third, he went half the day without any underwear.  When we asked him about it, he ran off laughing... Oh the joys of having a boy!

TYLER WHO?

I know its way over due, but sometimes I'm just not in the mood to blog. Well Tyler got home last week, and it has been amazing!!! I swear I slept for 3 days. I guess it finally caught up with me that I was tired. The kids could not have been happier! It brought tears to my eyes just seeing how happy they where. Tripp became Tyler's shadow, and would not leave his side.  

While they waited for dad!

 Of course we had to do something fun right away! Tripp has to wear his goggles, even though they are cheap and he can't even see out of them. 

Dad got to get her off the bus! Her smile was from one ear to the other!

 Passed out in the daycare at the gym! I love that kid!

She cracks me up! 

And I don't have a picture to go with this, but Im 29 weeks now! My belly measures about 36, so yes I'm HUGE!! Just the other day I got on the scale to see the damage...(no one should ever do that!!!) And to my surprise the battery was dead! :) I'm sure thats probably a blessing. 

A Little Pampering

Kassidy has wanted me to make her a beauty mask for quite some time. I on the other hand have been wanting some pampering myself. Not exactly what I had in mind, but you get what you get. Of course after I was done with Kassidy, Tripp wanted in on the fun... Then Kassidy had to do my face, cause its just better when someone else does it for you!

We kinda look like a family of ghosts.

 

She really wanted cucumbers to put on her eyes.. but didn't have any. :(

Another year older!

Well this year came and went. I don't remember time going by this fast when I was younger! I was a little put out, because I wanted to spend the day driving around with Kass getting all the freebies that I thought you could get. Luckily I called all the places before I drove around. Ya there was only 2 in my area. Lame right? There was also a couple that where buy one get one free, but I just wanted free!! :) Well I ended up with a free meal at Denny's and on top of that off Saturdays kids eat free. So we all ate dinner for free! And the other one was free movies at redbox. So Kass and I each got a movie for free! I rented what to expect when your expecting.(which I thought was so funny!) And watched it over at my friend Cassie's! And enjoyed some very yummy sugar cookies!!!

 Presents from Kassidy!

The thought of making a cake made me sick! I got a package of cookie dough, so all Kassidy had to do was put them on a cookie sheet! Then we got on FaceTime so Tyler could sing Happy Birthday with Tripp and Kassidy!

So close yet so far!

Its been awhile since I put up a picture of this fast growing belly. Mostly for a couple of reasons... Tyler has been gone, so getting a picture is a little bit of a task. Kassidy loves to take pictures, but some days shes not really in the mood...  The other reason would be that I just don't like pregnancy pictures. I am just over 24 weeks and my belly measures 29. If anyone has recommendations for what to put on an itchy tummy I'm open for opinions!!

(don't you love how I had to get on the floor for Kassidy)

Well as for an update, everything is going smoothly and both babies look fantastic. Instead of the twins being stacked on top of each other, now they are side by side. My tummy just gets punched and kicked all day long, if it's not one it's the other. It's so fun to already get a sense of who they are. I feel like I might have a little Tripp and a little Kassidy in there. One calm and one full of energy! But I guess we will just have to wait and see.

In other news, Tyler has spent the last month in Provo Utah, and got to have a little when he wasn't working. I was so jealous!!! Not that I would have been able to do any of it right now anyway! Now he is on his way to Dallas Texas. And I hope this month goes by a little faster than last month. Cause boy do we miss him!

 Kassidy had her birthday party earlier this month, but of course we had to have a little cake on her birthday. Tripp picked it out, and was so excited about it. We also got to go to McDonald's for dinner. What kid doesn't love McDonald's play place?

She finished T-ball a couple weeks ago, and they all received metals. Kassidy was so excited, she said its just like ones at the Olympics. :)  

I just had to add this last picture cause it just cracks me up. If any of you know Tripp, he will sleep anytime anywhere! I handed him his plate, and no joke by the time I was back with Kassidy's plate he was already asleep.
