Veggies!

We (Jason helped a little) created a large garden bed on the side of the house that gets a lot of sun. I planted three sizes of tomatoes, cucumbers, yellow squash, zucchini, basil, and cilantro. I love growing my own vegetables and sharing them with neighbors, coworkers, and friends. Jason and I both grew up with gardens every summer. I can't wait to share these experiences with our kids.

It may not look like much to someone that has never created a garden bed, but this was quite a big task. And I finally have enough space to not cramp the plants. Although it never affected the bounty of produce when it was cramped.

Goodbye Civic, Hello Odyssey

Today, I traded in my Civic for an Odyssey. I loved my Civic and had it for 9 years. After talking with some moms of twins, we decided to upgrade one of our cars. Now we can take the entire family (including Chewy) on trips. The Odyssey will treat me as nice as my Civic did, I'm sure.

Look out world, another soccer mom is born!

How am I feeling lately?

How have I been feeling lately? This video pretty much sums it up.
This episode was hilarious, but now that I'm living it - well, it's still hilarious.

The babies are about the size of limes right now. Crazy to think something so small can have so much control over me. I guess this is just the beginning.

Everything is growing like crazy

The baby birds have gotten bigger. Mom or dad is always close by keeping watch.

The rhododenron is finally in bloom!
It must like it's new location.

And all of the plants we took from our parents last year are in full bloom, too!

Springtime brings babies

Chewy found/killed a baby bunny a couple days ago and today he spotted some baby birds. Luckily they were out of his reach, so they survived. Jason took some great pictures of the babies in the tree out back.

They are still here!

Another ultrasound gave us a sigh of relief. Both babies were visible and they each had a strong heartbeat. I'll feel better when we are out of the first trimester, but seeing them on the screen really calms our fears.

I asked if two sacs meant two eggs, but the doc said two sacs can come from one or two eggs. If we wanted to find we would have to do a blood test. Jason and I don't really see any reason to find out, so it will forever remain a mystery. (You can't tell just by looking, because the Olsen twins are fraternal but look identical.)

We won't have another ultrasound until it's time to find out the genders, so this is it for a while on the pictures. It's just pictures of Chewy until then!
