Surprise!

So rewind a few months ago Brad and I started to discuss when would be a good time to start trying for baby number 2. After much thought and pray we figured we would try for a few months to see if we could get the baby on my insurance, (it's really good and it goes until August even if I quit). Come December I woke up one morning and decided to take a test, low and behold it was positive! I was so excited, I went and crawled back in bed with Brad and told him. He was slightly shocked to say the least. Well I was feeling great no sickness everything was wonderful. I did have my doubts about not being ready to be a mom of two but I dealt with it. Come Christmas I was starting to feel crummy, nauseous all day. Few days later I could make it a day with out throwing up at least 3 times. Some days I couldn't even keep water down. I thought I was sick with Ryker but that is nothing compared to how I felt now.
Well I decided to try a new doctor. I set up an appointment with Dr. Lind. On Monday we went for our appointment, 9 weeks along. I wasn't even going to have Brad come because it wasn't that big a deal but we were going to see what the baby looked like. Dr. Lind asked me questions about my health and did the whole "fun" check up. It was time to see what this baby looked like.
Before he started Brad said "just don't tell us there are two in there". He put the goop on my tummy and asked me what I saw on the screen. I said I saw a bunch of gray. He said you are going to have twins. I laughed and said yeah right. Well I guess he wasn't joking cause right there on the screen were two little babies. I don't have a history of twins and never in a million years would I have thought we were going to have twins. So come August 20th we will have two new additions to our family. Not going to lie we are a little shell shocked but excited!

16 Months

My Ryker is no longer a baby but a toddler. He is learning so many new and fun things. He is not a big talker still just momma, dadda, Ky, this, see,that ect. If he wants something he will point his hand at it and shake his hand. If he wants food he'll say ahmmmm. He loves to play with cars and little things he can carry around in his hands. He loves to get into my kitchen drawers and get out my measuring spoons and strainers. We have drawers at the end of our bed which he will play in and put things into. He likes playing with his dad. When we tell him to jump he will squat down and stand up, it is so funny. He has 6 teeth on top and 6 on bottom, he just broke his bottom molars.

Updates

So I keep telling myself every night that I am going to update my blog but I have a hard time forcing myself to do it. Partly because I don't have much to say and partly because I don't think anyone reads this now that I am private. Anyway... updates. For Christmas time we had some fun, we went on the Christmas train ride which was cold but fun.

Then we had the Gadd Christmas party, we did the story of Christ's birth. Ryker was the cutest Shepard I have ever seen. However, he did not enjoy his costume very much.

We had a wonderful Christmas and I loved having two weeks off from school to play with my little guy.
