Oh Babies...

These last 2 weeks have been brutal. My feet, legs, and hands are all swollen. The morning sickness has not subsided. It wasn't even this bad in the first trimester. These first two weeks of the second trimester have been nearly unbearable. No, I'm not complaining. I am taking all that these babies are throwing at me and rolling with the punches. Jason and I are enjoying the pregnancy but cannot wait until our babies arrive! Jason has been super supportive and helpful. He is going to be such an awesome dad! I feel so blessed to not only have him as my husband, but also as my best friend.

Our next appointment isn't until August 4. We will be exactly 16 weeks...just past the time frame to determine the sex of the babies. We are doubtful that an ultrasound will be performed at this time but we are definately hopeful! Otherwise, we will have to wait until September...BOOO!

13 Weeks Today

Ok. So we are 13 weeks today. The count down is on! I am feeling fairly large but no so much in charge. Some days I feel really good. Others not so hot. Today has been a good day thus so far. I was just thinking that we have less than 6 months to go. Can it be true? has it really been that long already. It seems like just yesterday we found out.

This week we will be busying ourselves making room for these babies. I never realized how much stuff there was in preparation and readying the home. I know we still have some time but I guess we better get a jump on it hunh?

Meet the Parents

Hello everyone. We are happy to announce that we are expecting not only our first child, but our second too. For those who don't know us, we have been actively "trying" to start a family for over a year now. God has blessed us with two bundles of joy. It was awesome knowing that we were pregnant. We learned of this news on May 14, 2009. Unbeknownst to us, we were having 2. We immediately made an appointment for a doctor to confirm our pregnancy. Once this was confirmed, we were good as gold.

Our first appointment was on June 9, 2009. We met the doctor, asked questions, and was sent on our way for an ultrasound. Before the songrapher came in the room to start the "process," I looked at Jason and said, "Wouldn't that be crazy if we were having twins?" Jason said, "Quit playing. We are not having twins." The sonographer enters the room to begin the ultrasound. The young lady starts the ultrasound and the first thing that she said to us was "Um, Congratulations! You guys are having twins!" We began laughing hysterically. Jason jumped from his chair to see the screen closer. I began laughing uncontrollably and then began crying softly. I was crying so hard, that my eyeglassed fogged up and I yelled "I can't see!" LOL. What a day. We were in SHOCK! We were happy to be pregnant. It felt as if we just found out all over again.

So this is our story. We hope that you will share with us the joy and happiness that this has brought to us. We will update you on our progress and the Hill twins as it occurs. Stay tuned for some double trouble...

Love,

Jason & Mamawah
