Tiny Blessings....

I don't know if they always come in packages of two, but this time they did! Kev and I are ecstatic to announce that this winter, we will welcome two new little Mullins!!! Yes, TWO!  They are due mid-December but we (read: me and my big ass belly) hope that they arrive around Thanksgiving. They obviously have their own agenda and timeline so all we can hope for is that they are happy, healthy and, if it's not too much to ask, I'd love if they got their daddy's baby blue eyes :)  Things are looking/sounding great and I'm feeling pretty fabulous in the second trimester! Thankfully, I somehow avoided morning sickness alltogether, I've heard it's doubly awful with twins, too! I have had some wicked headaches and acid reflux, but all in all, I can't complain too much.

Today marks 16 weeks, time is starting to fly by!  We can find out the genders, if we choose to, on July 14th, at our 18 week appointment. . We're still undecided on whether to find out or not. Most people think I'm nuts to even entertain the idea of NOT finding out. We'll see, it may be a game time decision.  We're very closely monitored and are seen every two weeks which is very reassuring!

Below are our Mullin beans at 12 weeks, or as they've been more affectionately called by friends, "2.0" or "Max and Mabel."    In this pictures you can see that they're comfy hanging out in their "bunkbeds" stacked on top of one another.  Baby B is looking down at Baby A who is looking up. You can see Baby A's hand by its face :)



While following others' blogs through the years, I would always get SO excited to see the ultrasound picture pop up in the blogroll when someone would announce their pregnancy.  Now, it's our turn and I hope you are all as equally excited as we are!  We got to tell my dad, stepdad and lots of friends last week while we were in Seattle.  It was so wonderful to see the surprise, shock and joy on their faces. 

Speaking of, quick story...When Katie and Lynne came to visit in April, they knew I was pregnant but had NO idea that we were expecting twins.  To this day, after all of the "reaction" photos I've taken, this one still takes the cake! I handed them a stack of pictures of the "baby" for them to look at over dinner... When they came to the last picture, which was one of both babies, I snapped this photo.  It was like it clicked in both of their heads at exactly the same time. Lynne has a look of utter shock and Katie's about to say "Shutup!" in disbelief, as she often does when she's reallllly caught off guard. I will forever cherish this picture and will definitely be showing it to our kids someday. :)



Oh, and doesn't this just melt your heart? It does mine!



So, I suppose I have two really good reasons why I have to keep up to date with my blog now, don't I? ;)
