Boy I have been slacking!

I have been so terrible about blogging--I need to post more about Christmas and a good long post for Clark's birthday we celebrated yesterday.

We made the announcement on facebook this week that I am in the process of cooking TWO little nuggets who will be born in August(ish). I am pretty much devoid of energy and constantly nauseated--so any down time I have is typically spent with my head over the sink or in my pillow. I am sure it will all be a distant memory in a few weeks and I will get back on track with keeping more up to date on my blog.

A few things I want to remember about this pregnancy:
1. Positive pregnancy test December 12th.
2. Went into doctor's office on December 15th and was given reports of 'abnormally high' beta HCG levels suggesting multiples--ultrasound didn't show much more than a black dot.
3. December 21 ultrasound showed one healthy little yolk sack and possibly one additional--but still couldn't really tell. HCG levels still through the roof.
4. Made announcement over Christmas to my family about pregnancy--Clark wore a 'Big Brother' t-shirt. We still had to clue my mom in, but her reaction was priceless.
5. Ultrasound on December 30th showed two little beating hearts. My first reaction was pure JOY and about 15 minutes later panic!
6. So excited and happy about pregnancy--thrilled about raising twins with all of the challenges that will go along with the joy!
7. Much sicker than with Clark--the nausea, vomiting and fatigue are definitely more than doubled! I am trying to have a good attitude--the weeks will go quickly but sometimes the days really drag.

We are all so excited to welcome two more little ones into our home! It is going to be wild, but so fun.
