Well I decided that I couldn't use Emmalee's blog for anything else because it was her blog...so here's our new family blog. And I do say family because Jon and I are very happy to announce that we are expecting again. Here are a few first pictures for you:
Oh...did I mention we are expecting TWINS! We are so excited! They are doing really good so far...our due date is somewhere around June 19 or 21st...they gave me the due date of the 21st but they are measuring around the 19th...so I'm going to chose the 19th because that's just 2 days sooner! And so today I can say that I am 11 weeks along...feeling okay but I'm very nauseous and tired. Up until last Thursday I was able to say that I haven't thrown up since 5th grade...well...I can no longer say that...and let's just say...I was not very happy about that! But I guess that's a good sign that everything is going good. We are doctoring down at Mayo again and feel very fortunate that we could get in with our doctor again. They'll watch us very closely and even though the chances are slim of another heart problem, they will do a echo on the babies at 2o weeks (or somewhere in there). But we are very hopeful that these two will be fine and that they will be happy and healthy! I still can't believe it sometimes...it is truly amazing. God has definitely blessed us and He is continuing to bless us. I know Emmalee would be happy to be a big sister! Well you all take care! I'll write more later! Thanks for letting me share our good news with you!

Congrats! We will be praying for you & Jon & the babies! Wow...twins..what a blessing from God!
Congratulations...
I'm so happy to hear that you're having twins. When I lost my baby back in May of 1997 I just wanted to have another since I lost one. I sent you an email a while back but I guess you never got it. Karen Newhard told me about you. I lost a boy due to a thyroid problem I had. I have two daughters now age 7 and 5. My name is Joyce Ryder. Just wanted to say Congrats! God be with you and family.
Love the pictures! I agree, being nauseous, although a minor inconvenience, is a great sign. I used to insist on sparkling water when I felt urpy.
