Omaha Zoo

We went to the Omaha zoo yesterday and it was so much fun! It is such a great zoo! We were there for over 4 hours and still hadn't seen everything. Here are some of the highlights.

Life in Omaha

We moved to Bellevue, Nebraska on Easter weekend. It's so good to be here So far we really like it! Moving here was a bit of a disaster, well, it could have been much worse. Thank goodness my parents came out to help us! I don't think we could have gotten everything done!

Lizzy loves it here. The other day we were driving to the store and she said, "I just love it here!" We asked what she liked so much about it.
She then said, "I like our new house. And I love it here because of the trees and it's so natureful." I love that. She's still loving it here and has a little friend that she plays with on occasion. It's so nice.

Dave is loving his new job! He really likes the work he's doing and the people he works with. His schedule is fantastic! He can work pretty much whenever he wants, just as long as he gets his 8 hours in daily. He usually goes into work by 7 and is home by 3:30 in the afternoon. It's perfect for us, because then we go out and enjoy the rest of the afternoon somewhere.

I'm doing well. Still pregnant. I had an appointment today and things are going well with the twins. They are growing and getting more squished everyday. I think they like to wrestle. Those kids are all over the place! Good thing I only have 8-10 weeks left.

I too am loving living here! The weather is great! And we are closer to both families. It's really nice. Sorry I don't have any pictures to post right now, I can't find the cord to the camera.

Baseball Game

On the 15Th we went to a Dodgers/Diamondbacks baseball game. The Angels play in Mesa which is 3 hours from our house so I didn't want to go up there. They also played in Tucson on a Wednesday and I didn't want to take work off to go. So we settled for the Dodgers. The Diamond Backs spring training stadium is about an hour from our house.
At the game I told Lizzy that I wanted the Dodgers to win because I was from California. She said, "well I'm from Arizona and I want the Diamond Backs to win."

2 Identical blessings!

20 weeks

I had another ultrasound today and the Dr. said she's 99% sure that I'm having identical girls! (There's always a chance that it may not be, no matter how slight, I guess.) We are so excited! Since we found out about the twins, we worried about them being identical for fear that we wouldn't be able to tell them apart when they are so little. Now, we are beyond thrilled! Lizzy is so happy to be having 2 baby sisters! She always asks about them (if they're hungry or moving lots etc...)and wants to buy them clothes already. She's so sweet.

And here's something interesting I heard today:

Only 1.9% of the worlds population are twins.

and

Only 0.2% of the worlds population are identical twins!

The girls look great! Baby A is weighing in at 10 ounces and Baby B is weighing in at 11 ounces. We are still undecided about names, we are narrowing them down. Slowly...

The girls were so active during the ultrasound that they couldn't get any really clear shots. It was so funny to watch, the nurse and the Dr. kept laughing!

USS Arizona memorial. It was never removed and is still under the water.

You can look down and see it from the memorial. It was

built over it.

This beach had 20+ foot waves at some points.

Just walking on the beach. Lizzy is scared of waves.

Pregnancy update

I am now 18 weeks pregnant and things seem to be going great! The kids are kicking and moving all the time. I've gotten huge this week! At least I feel huge, I'm measuring 6 months already! 6 months! My Dr said that is completely normal with twins. He figures, from the ultrasound pics, that the kids are weighing in at about 6 oz each. We're still not 100% on if they are identical or fraternal, I'm hoping to find out for sure at my next appt.
