Movement

I finally felt movement! I layed down yesterday and one little baby decided to tell me it was there!! Now I just need another one and I'll be satisfied. I love that feeling. It kind of makes all the sickness and exhaustion worth it. It reminds me that there is something real i'm doing this for. I've been feeling a lot better lately, FINALLY. I'm still really tired but that I can live with. We go in next week to find out what these little things are. I can't wait!!!!

BEACH

Ah the Beach!! It wouldn't be a complete summer if we didn't spend a week(or more) camping in San Clemente. We just got back about a week ago and some how i'm still finding sand in Raidens ears. How is that possible?? Well we survived our first camping experience with a baby. It wasn't so bad, all the dirt and sand and sticky sunblock and sea weed for him to eat and trying to shower without him slipping out of your hands and waking everyone during the night and diaper rash and trying to nap and keeping him some what clean, really wasn't that bad! He Loved it. The sandier he was, the better. He actually took really good naps down at the beach, somehow the beach does that to you. I always love the beach and I will always be there. San Clemente will be part of our lives FOREVER!!!!

4th of July

4th of July weekend we all(all 25 of us) headed up to the cabin in Greer. It was totally crowded but so fun! I LOVE the cabin. I love the smell, I love the trees, I love the weather, I love it all. To me, the cabin is paradise. It's absolutely beautiful. We watched a parade on the 4th but no fireworks because of the fire danger, but it was still fun.

TWINS!

So, I go to my Ultra Sound appointment the other day and I get in there and the lady puts it on my belly for like one second and then says,"ok, lets do a vaginal ultra sound". She says my uterus may be tilted.(little did I know what she already saw) So, she sticks the thing in and immediately I look on the screen and say,"why does it look like I see 2 babies"? She says um, that's because you're having identical twins". So, I proceed to freak out, cry a little bit and almost have a heart attack while Ricky like shouts with excitement. The freak out hit him later! And so, it's true, we are having TWINS!! I still can't believe it. What the heck are the odds?????? They estimate my due date to be January 5th, but they expect me to deliver sometime around December 5th. Merry Christmas to us!!!!! :)

Prego AGAIN!

Yep, it's true, I'm prego again. I can't believe it! I think Ricky and I are still both in a little bit of shock that it's happening again. I took two tests and still didn't believe it, and then cried for a couple days and now realizing it's here to stay, I'm happy!! I have an ultra sound on Wednesday to find out my exact due date but were guessing like January 1st. A Christmas baby, my favorite time of year, it couldn't be more perfect! It's been really different this time, I've been sick all day everyday. Poor Raiden just roams the house all day long and if he's lucky I dump some cookies in front of him so he has something to eat. I don't know how girls do it that have more than one kid or have to go to work sick. I couldn't do it! I'm lucky if I get dressed. At least I have Kristen to be miserable with me. She's due about 2 weeks after me!! I love it. They'll be best buds! Raidens best buddy Brody is moving back home in about a week now, he's so excited! (he doesn't know it but he is) We are all so excited to have our Texas Rogers come home! We've missed them so much, it's been way too long.

Mothers Day

I Ihad my first official Mothers Day. Oh, the joys of being a mom! Ricky and Raiden bought me a bunch of new clothes and took me to lunch and let me relax all day. We had a brunch at Heathers house to celebrate with mom and all the other girls and then just hung around for a while and let the boys clean up!! It was great!

Mexico Tri

Well, he's back at it again. I thought maybe after the Ironman Ricky would take a break for a while but no deal. He already did the Mexico triathlon. It was a fun trip down there. Ricky, Dad, Scott, and Heather all did the tri so we all went down and stayed in Heathers house for the weekend. Some of Rickys family actually went. I couldn't believe it. Maybe we've turned them over to the dark side of Triathlons. They all did real good. Scott actually came in second in his age group and won a whole cup!! Raiden unfortunately got sick and threw up all over me in the car. Lucky for Kristen she was sitting right next to us and got to help clean it up.
