what we've been up to

+ watching my belly grow already. it amazes me that there are two babies in there. truly a blessing that i dont take for granted.

+ lots of reading and tv watching going on. not because i am lazy but because i am so exhausted all the time. like no joke exhausted!

+ i havent cooked dinner in forever so dan has been in charge of dinner around casa de clark! i did cook last night!

+ naps most days!

+ checking out strollers and baby things. sort of overwhelming and exciting at the same time!

+ lots of time with the husband. i love when he will put his hand on my stomach and ask "how are my babies?" pretty much the sweetest. he has been the best through out this first trimester. always getting me things when i ask or making sure i am comfortable. i love you babes!

+ i have been thinking a lot about these babies in my belly. most of the thoughts of pure terror. how do i feed two babies at once? how are we going to go anywhere? and how much our lived are changing! its all scary and yet so exciting. i cannot wait for the day i get to snuggle my precious babies. ahh!

there you have a little update. i feel like all i can think about or talk about is the babies, so im sorry. this is just still so shocking for us. two babies!

i thought what a better way to track this pregnancy then to blog about it every so often. i know you are thinking "woah, she is already showing" well peoples, there are two babies in there!!! i love my little bump. it is a lot harder and bigger at night but it is still there all day. it's my fave. 

the last few days i have been feeling really anxious to start buying baby things. i am dying to know what these babies are. i want to decorate the nursery so bad. like, way bad. i have so many ideas and cannot wait to put them to use. only a few more weeks {haha. like a lot more weeks} til we know! 

hope you are all having a good monday, im going to take a nap now! :)

are you serious?

on the 3rd of july i woke up to some bleeding. it was pretty heavy and i freaked out. i called dan then called the doctor. they said my doctor was out of the office til the 7th so they would give her the message and call me back. {cue the tears} dan came home from work and we waited. we both were scared and nervous.

2 hours later i finally called back and said i really want to be seen that day. they said okay doctor ward can see you at 2. then we waited some more. i paced the house and dan washed dishes. there wasn't much talking. just a million prayers being said in my head. 

as we waited in the doctors office i was scared that something was wrong. they finally called us back and after a rude nurses comment {dont even get me started} the doctor came in and talked to us for a little then he did an ultrasound to make sure everything was alright. 

i can't even explain the feeling of seeing the baby on the screen and seeing the little flicker of the heartbeat. doctor said everything looked great and he was moving the ultrasound around and he says "are you guys in for the shock of your life?" in my head i said " duh we are having a baby!" that's when he says "there's two in there!" {cue the laughter and crying from us both} i said "are you serious?!" and there they were on the screen. both babies. two babies! 

after we left the doctors office we started the phone calls. we must have made a million phone calls that day. we were on a high all day. after we got home we had to start packing for moab the next day. 

we both slept like 4 hours maybe that night. too much to process. so it's been a few weeks since that crazy day and we are still processing but, it's starting to be more real. maybe it's because i am sick all the time. two babies means double the sickness, so fun right? ha. 

we have been to our real doctor since that eventful day and heard the heartbeats, so amazing. my due date is febraury 13, 2014 but, full term for twins is 36-38 weeks. so janurary we will be parents to two babies! 

so, we hope you stay with us as i document this crazy new journey we will be starting. i will be sharing bump updates and all things babies every so often. please forgive me in advance while i may not always post as i am still ealing with morning sickness all day. 

here's to our new adventure with our plus two! 

how we found out

here we go....everyone has been dying to know how we found out we were having a baby {this was before we knew it was babies!}. 

do you remember this post  where i was in so much pain? well, that night is when i took a test. you see i was having the cramping pain all week but never got the monthly gift. i am never late so i kind of was hoping it was the real deal. 

after we went to dinner we ran to the store to grab some tests. i wasn't planning on taking the test that night but as i was getting ready for bed i decided what the heck, why not! i take the test and set it on the counter and wait. nothing was happening so i brushed my teeth and looked over at it there it was. the beautiful plus sign. i gasped and started to laugh due to complete shock. since we started trying in decemeber i always thought i would cry when i finally saw a plus sign. nope, complete shock took over and i just laughed. 

i could not believe my eyes. i opened the door and said " umm babe!!!" {still laughing} i brought the test over to him and he didn't say anything he was in shock too. i don't really remember the rest of that night. just remember we were in total shock!

saturday we went and bought a pregnancy book {just a little excited!} and not sure what else we did that day. oh and i was sick most of the day. lol! 

sunday i got up and took another test and it turned positive within seconds. i think it set in for me a little more after the second test! sunday was just a great day we both were so excited and scared for the journey ahead! 

monday we went to dinner with dan's parents and sister. i was tought to keep it a secret! we ended up going over to his parents house and telling them. they were sooo excited! 

tuesday was the day i went to ca to see my mom. the whole flight{s} i was soo sick. i told my stepdad and mom as soon i got in the car. they both cried. after we got to their house my mom wanted to get another test to see it for herself. so we did. and guess what? still pregnant! haha.

it was a whirlwind weekend. to say the least. 

come back tomorrow to read how we found out there was two babies! 

plus two

to say we are over the moon excited and shocked is an understatement!

that one time we went to moab

on the fourth we headed to moab with our good friends the lundrigan to do some camping in the heat. despite the heat we had such a good time. moab really is beautiful even though it is way too hot for anyone's own good. 

we spent our fourth of july evening watching fireworks from a random park we found. it was so fun. on friday we went on little hike and stumbled upon a little swimming "hole" it was more like a river/pool thing. we spent a few hours swimming and just cooling off. i don't have those pics yet but once i do i will post em! we loved it so much we went back after our hike to delicate arch. so fun! 

saturday we hiked to delicate arch and i thought i was going die. it was all uphill. haha. but, so worth it. even though it was a rough hike the end result was breathtaking. just amazing! have you hiked it? so pretty huh? 

so, have you missed me? i know i am so absent from this blog now. really we haven't been doing too much so there isn't anything really exciting to blog about. im sorry!! haha and our pc is like super slow! hey, it's summer that's okay right? 

hope you are all having a great day and week!
