It's a boy and a girl!
We've now had 2 ultra sounds to confirm that our twins are a boy and a girl. They look healthy, except the girl is a little smaller. As a result, I have to see a maternal fetal medicine specialist for the remainder of my pregnancy. He's not sure exactly why there's a size difference so early, but hopefully it's nothing serious. All he suggested today as a possible problem would be "twin to twin" where one twin is getting too much blood, and the other isn't getting enough. If this is the case, I would have to go to L.A. or San Francisco to have "laser surgery" on the babies. Scary! I really hope they are fine, but we won't know for 3 weeks until our next appointment.

Wes' Wakeboarding
This is Wes wake boarding at Lake Powell. We went there with the Sessions family. It was a lot of fun! Wes loves Lake Powell and wake boarding is his favorite sport. Check out Wes doing a flip.
Lake Powell
Another summer, another trip to Lake Powell. We really love our yearly trip to Powell. It was really low-key for me this year, since I am pregnant. Although, I enjoyed the relaxation time. Kylee loves to knee-board, and Wes can't get enough wake boarding while we're there. If his body could hold up, I think he would wake board everyday, 3-5 times a day. The weather was good, but a little windy. It actually wasn't hot this year. We even had to use blankets at night when we slept, very unusual.

I'm pregnant!
After almost 4 years of trying, we're pregnant! I've taken over 400 pills, over 100 shots, had my blood drawn over 20 times. It has all been worth it now, because we're pregnant. We're still a little nervous though, because it's still very early in the pregnancy, but we are so excited that we had to tell.
We find out if one or both of the embryos that were implated took. We could be having one or more! We would love twins (two for the price of one), but we're grateful for whatever we get. I'm feeling good. I still have to take a lot of medicine, so my hormone levels stay where they should. I still feel like a lab rat, but it's getting better. My butt has gotten used to the daily injections, and I don't feel as sore as I used to.
Kylee is excited to have a baby brother or baby sister (and a puppy). We told Kylee that we're not getting her a dog until after we have a baby, so now she is really excited about getting a puppy.
