Dear Babies,
Tomorrow you are 19 weeks old. I have mixed feelings about how quickly everything is going by. On one hand I can’t wait to meet you, see you, hold you, smell you. On the other I love to see my belly grow with you both and feel you move. I am trying to enjoy everything about this pregnancy – the good and the bad. I can’t wait for your daddy to finally get to feel you move and kick. I’m sure at the end of the pregnancy journey it will be a relief to no longer get kicked and punched on a daily basis, but for now I am enjoying every movement. Heaten got in trouble today. Not even born and already being a trouble maker. Tsk Tsk. It has been about 6 days since I last felt you move so I called the doctor and was told to go to the hospital. Quite a bit of drama and stress while we were there. They couldn’t find your heartbeat on the Doppler so we had to go to the ER for an ultrasound. Luckily you are both still kicking and the heartbeats were perfect. Your dad and I were overcome with relief when we knew you were both ok. We love you already and couldn’t imagine life without both of you. I take it back about the mixed feelings, I want you both born healthy and fit so I can hold you and know that you’re ok.

We love you babies!!

This message is for Heaten… If you scare mommy, daddy, aunties, grandparents, uncles, cousins and friends anymore, I am going to tickle your belly for two minutes straight after you are born! No no Heaten! That was scary and unnecessary.

Oh, Aunt Stacey, you really are so mean
But seriously it’s the truth, you two better cook yourselves till the full 37 weeks, no more scares like that! We are so glad all is safe and healthy, we’re getting closer to the day we finally get to meet you both!
