a letter to the babies

Let me start with saying that I {your Mama} have a little thing called pregnancy brain. I had this idea that I wanted to write letters to you every month during this pregnancy well here we are almost 3 months away from your arrival....and this is the first letter. I promise to write a few more before you guys get here. 

I will never forget the day I saw the plus sign on that test or most importantly the day we saw you both on the ultrasound screen. It took your Daddy and I by total surprise. Pssttt...your Daddy cried more than I did. But, sshhh. We could not believe that our Heavenly Father had blessed us with two babies. I remember falling in with you that very moment I saw both of you little gummi bear sized babies. Hard to believe you were that small huh? You both stole my heart right then and there. 

We left the doctors and immediately called all your Grandparents. Oh yeah-be prepared for all your very excited Grandparents. Your Grandpa Bruce & Grandma Susan, Grandma Cathy & Grandpa Eden, and Grandpa Steve & Grandma Heather cannot wait for you both to be here. They love you so much already! How lucky are you to have all those loving Grandparents. Since then time has flown by. I love watching my belly grow and feeling your little kicks and movements. You are both pretty active and already seem pretty cramped in there. I don't blame you if you are cramped....at 24 weeks pregnant you each are the size of a grapefruit. Mmm, now I want a grapefruit. 

As much as I love this pregnancy, I cannot wait for you to be here. Your Daddy can't wait either. I think he says once a day "I want the babies to be here, already!" We are both so excited to meet you and snuggle you both up. We love you so much and cannot wait to see your precious little faces and kiss your cute little feet! Don't worry, we can wait a few more weeks while you do more growing! 

Love, 
Your Mom

four from our weekend

follow via instagram @erykaann or click on the instagram icon over on the left

one//date night with the helvey's. we love that they are family and friends! {pssstt annie needs to blog more!}

two//tried ritas and maybe because i was so full i wasn't too impressed. have you been?

three//our ikea trip was successful we left with cribs, mattresses and other things for the babies room. cannot wait to show you guys everything when it's all done. 

four//couples who wear flannel together stay together. we matched saturday not on purpose. so funny! 

this weekend was a beautiful one. the weather was perfect and we got a lot accomplished. don't you love that?

on instagram i posted picture number 3 and my mom accidentally spilled the beans on the baby names. {its okay mom, i forgive you!} i freaked and deleted the photo. well, guess you can just delete comments. i had NO idea, feeling pretty dumb. i re posted it later though. a few saw the names and that's ok. if you saw please ssshhhh!

because, i love you all so much. i will give you guys a hint one name starts with an H and the other starts with a C. not saying which is which! 

i feel like everyone has so many opinions these days on what people name their children. i am so guilty of this, trust me. it's rather dumb, if we think about it. we want to wait to see our babies before we make anything official. even though we are 99.9% positive on the names. i can't wait to share their names with you when it's time. so, remember if you saw then, sshhhhhhh! thanks guys! :)

til then they will be know as baby h and baby c!
