things that have happened

so we are now in colorado springs, colorado visiting with jeremys family! we landed yesterday at around 10:45. we left a little late because they were short a flight attendant. but we also landed late because when we were about to land and got pretty close to touching down they took off again. the tailwind was too strong for them to land. it was kind of weird and freaked me out but when the captain said why they did that it made me feel better.

last week was super super crazy. every single day we were busy doing something for the wedding. it went by so fast and was so exhausting. staying up late, waking up early. it stunk. the wedding was beautiful though! i am really happy for melanie and scott! they make an awesome couple and they deserve each other! we got to see my grandparents one of the days and my grandma showed me the quilt she is going to send me when i get to germany! it is super awesome! i freaking LOVE quilts. the only bad part about being there was that we didnt get a lot of quality time with anyone. especially my dad. =(

everyone i saw from my family was super happy for us that we are going to have a baby(babies, yep, still hoping for twins)!! it was really nice to hear positive things from everyone! a couple of my cousins are pregnant as well and it amazes me how irresponsible they are with their unborn child! they smoke and drink while pregnant!!! that makes me so disgusted!! it also makes me feel really sad for their baby. anyway, i am still super hungry all the time. i have gained weight, im not sure how much but its noticeable! my dress for the wedding almost didnt fit! a lot of people are telling me that with your second pregnancy you get bigger, faster. well, even though i didnt have a pregnancy full term i guess it still applies to me. i havent been sick yet which is a really good thing. i hated being sick last time. one other thing i have noticed is that i have to get up in the middle of the night to go to the bathroom. i NEVER did that before, but lately i have been!! its weird and i hate it. jeremy and i are still set with our names from when we talked about it a long time ago. we are really excited about it. we just love the names and they are named after really important people in our lives!

right now roberta is helping jaci and 3 of the neighbor girls(which are all sisters) with their homework. i talked to grandpa today and he was super excited about the pregnancy! we are going to see him sometime this week which will be very exciting because we havent seen him in like 3 years!

we are going to have a baby!!

we finally told all of our family so its now time to write about it! jeremy and i are going to have a baby!! yay! we are super duper excited! its taken us 2 years to get to this point and we couldnt be more excited! we found out on friday, sept 4th, at about 7 in the morning! i wanted to take a test that day and woke up especially early to do so! the test came out positive super fast, i was shaking and woke jeremy up to show him! he was happy!! we initially wanted to wait until we were in the 2nd trimester to tell people but jeremy was too excited to hold it in! he called his mom first, she is super happy, then adam and he is happy too! we then called afton! she is super super happy for us too!! i was really excited to tell emily too and of course, she took forever to text me back! haha she is really happy for us! so our babies are going to be about 2 months apart! that is pretty awesome! we told some others throughout the day and i even took a second test just to make sure. we decided to wait until we were home with my family to tell them in person! we told most of them yesterday and they are really excited for us! my brother steven was the last to find out today and he gave me a huge hug! =)

lately i have been super hungry. i have been trying to eat really healthy, real sugar pop (if i want pop), fruit, veggies, no fast food. i have been taking prenatals for over a month now so i am really glad i started when i did. i wanted to get healthy for when we did finally get pregnant! anyway, i have only gagged on a few things. i gagged on a no bake cookie, and my mom makes pickled green tomatoes and she puts whole cloves of garlic in there and i tried eating one and almost threw up and i couldnt even eat the tomatoes!! i wasnt happy about that! the other thing i cant eat is eggs. eggs make me grossed out! i probably could eat egg whites, but i haven tried yet. i want to!

we are just so happy and excited we are going to have a baby!! hopefully we are having babies! we really are hoping for twins again. you never know! we are going to see a doctor when we get settled in germany. we really dont know how far along we are yet because my body hasnt been regular lately. im guessing just about 5 weeks or so. we will know in a couple of weeks! yay!
