Womb Mates

Getting pregnant was definitely harder than we thought but we really were in no rush.
We did only try for three months.
April 19th was when that little pink line showed up. The first 5 weeks were GREAT. By week 6 I was not feeling so hot and anything after that till now, week 15, has been just shy of miserable! Chris has been so good about wanting to go to every doctors appointment with me. Awe! Even the pap smear one :). I could feel him squirm in the chair. It was then that the doctor went ahead and set me up for an ultrasound at 9 weeks-way earlier than usual but he said my uterus seemed larger than normal and he wanted to make sure my due date was correct.
Ultra Sound done on May 29, 2008 and sure enough. All the questions got answered as to why I was SO SICK and my uterus was larger than normal. TWINS! I think camera's need to be in those rooms when a couple is told they are having twins. My first thought was- "oh boy, now I'm really nervous". And my second thought was "that is two of everything and I am going to be HUGE"! Wow, what a miracle to see those two tiny heartbeats just going crazy! Of course I cried.
Cant wait to go back in 4 weeks to find out the sex, we cannot wait. So, until then......

How We Met: High School Sweethearts

Chris and I met in highschool art class. He was a freshman and I a junior- yes I know what you're thinking. He was the one guy that I just could not figure out. He was quiet with a big smile and always left me wondering what he was thinking. We had art class together second semester starting in January. At first he started out at the end of the table and by the end of the year he was sitting across from me. Our conversations actually consisted of talking about how his family raised Imu's and that growing up we had a small farm ourselves- we both grew up in the country. Did I mention that he was a very good artist. I on the other hand was in Art class because I did not want to take choir and I needed one or the other for credits to graduate. Most of the time, unbeknowns to the art teacher, Chris woulf either finish my projects or at least help me out, especially when we had to draw our hand and my thumb looked completely deformed.
He got the courage up to ask me to the Valentines Banquet. I actually picked him up and drove us to the restaurant because he was only 15 and I was 17-remember, I was robbing the craddle! The rest is history. We dated all thru high school and all but two months of college.
Dating that young was challenging at times. I wouldnt trade him for the world and I would do it all over again. He was my first REAL kiss and I his. He always said the girl he kissed was the girl he'd marry and HE DID!
August will be our 8 year anniversary. Time flies when you're having fun.
