Oh, okay! Esther! I've had several people tell me I can't keep them waiting. I'm alive! I've been having the time of my life and living it up every night...NOT! I've been up to ...nothing. Haha. No really; nothing. I'm going on the 4 month of bedrest. (The past two have been stage 3- meaning only bathroom priveleges and some of the time I needed to use a bed pan.) I'm still bleeding alot, but I get to go downstairs a few times a day now and occasionally I get to sit outside. My hyperstimulation is still hanging around and my left ovary is still much too large. As of lately, my bleeding seems to be slowly healing but it relocated right behind both placentas; which isn't good. BUT I want to keep this post upbeat!!...I truly have sooo much to be thankful for!!!!!! (I only wish we could have made it to the big Pebble Beach trip over the fourth! You all owe me lots of blogging pictures)
I really wonder if anyone else has a family like I do. I'm sure everyone feels like they have worlds best...and they should!! Mine are UNREAL! My mom has visited about 5 times in the past 3 months. Every morning she asks what I want for breakfast and if I asked for pancakes or danishes flown in from France I really think she'd find a way to get them here. When I watched food network and saw something that looked good she'd be making her grocery list and within hours that dish was in front of me. Anyone who knows my mom will laugh when I say the produce manager and butcher at the grocery store have come to know my mom by name!
Keith and Charayye have gone the extra mile, Rachel is taking a turn to visit next week, and I can feel my dads sincere love and encouragement through each phone call!
Shane works his butt off, cleans the house, gets me things to eat all through the night, gets up to go to the bathroom with me, last night he set up a big picnic for us. His patience, understanding, and devotion makes me cry.
I will update more soon. PROMISE! I'd post pictures if I had recent ones. Just picture this: I look well over 6 months pregnant. I never thought I'd show this much in the early stages of the second trimester- I also never dreamed we'd get twins. Some of the tummy bulge is my hyperstimulation hanging around though. One major plus....only my family will appreciate...get this- I swear my feet are actually getting skinnier as my tummy grows. Hella cool, huh! It's great! The minies are moving like crazy and I have an ultrasound in two weeks to check on the bleeding AND to find out what sex these precious babies are....
What do you picture Shane and I having?-

Yay! You listened! Hooray for all of us :) I bet you are just so stinkin cute laying there in bed with your lil tummy. Thank you for the update and please keep updating as you think of new things. I cannot picture you without at least one little girl! I think boy/girl or girl/girl. Do you have any intuitions? I love you!
Truly you finally updated!!! I can't wait to come up there and visit. Sounds like I've got big shoes to fill. Mom is awesome. What can I say, we have to best parents in the world. Shane is amazing and I'm so glad you married HIM. You two seem really happy. Keep the updates coming!!! I don't care what you are having I just want to hear you have two healthy heart beats!! Love you
Thank you for updating! Dang it, I can picture you having all three of the combinations of sexes. Any way they will be gorgeous kids dressed to the nines! And your mom is so sweet. Of course the butcher and produce manager know her by name! I love Nancy!
Your family is so great to take care of you, but I really am not surprised you have a great family! I'm so excited for you and that you're having twins, and love that you call them minies. I'm going to guess...girl-girl. You have such an upbeat attitude about being in your house all day, but it's good to take care of those babies!
I had so much fun seeing your mom, dad, and Rach and her fam over the fourth. I was glad to get lots of updates about you from your mom! She really loves you and it sounds like you know it! I think you are having boy-boy...don't know why, I just do. I am sure it is so hard to be on bedrest for so long, I can't even imagine...but I also know anything is worth having a healthy baby, or two! :-) Hang in there and know it will be over soon. I love your description of yourself. I look about 20 months pregnant...not cute! Anyway, as always, let us know if you need anything and I can't wait to know the sexes!! Love you!
I have no idea! I am bad at this gusy thing. I was wrong with me! Lets say......Girl Girl! I really have no idea! haha Let us know asap when you find out!
I say girl-boy. And I am glad you are doing a little better! Yeah for family!
I think you will have a boy and a girl. It is good to hear you are hanging in there. I miss you. You guys are always in our prayers. We love you! And tell your mom "hi" for me. I love her and know you do have AMAZING parents..You are blessed!
For some reason I am thinking one boy and I don't know about the other. I am so excited to find out.
Truly, I hope you don't mind if I check up on you and your babies every once in a while. We are so glad that things are going better. Rachel keeps us updated. We are so happy for you guys. Hang in there! I am thinking boy girl so you can get the fun of both, but I am NEVER right!!!!!
I love you to death Truly. I am so happy things are sounding ok. I have been praying for you. Keep us updated more often so we dont all worry so much!And your mom and Shane are both so darling, I love hearing the stories. Love you and love the baby twins already.. Call me on one of your lonely bed ridden days and lets catch up!!
It is probably driving you crazy sitting around in bed all day. Just remember this, When those cute twins arrive, you will wish that you could just lay in bed all day!!! My sister was on bed rest from 8 weeks on and I think what kept her sane was all the family and friends!! I am glad you have so much support. Before you know it, you will be up all night with your babies. Enjoy every season!!! Still in our prayers.

You know what I have said from the begining... I think boy boy. I know I'm crazy but I think it's two mini Shanes for some reason. I'm probably way off but it's fun to guess.
I'm so happy you updated your blog! It's good to hear how you're doing. Sounds like your friends and family are being amazing! I'm excited for you to find out what you're having! Hmm... let's see, I picture you having two of the same, I'll go with boys I guess. Although if I could choose for you, I'd pick one of each and maybe that way, there's less chance of them being competitive with each other growing up.
Girl, girl...definitely! I am so excited for you! I am glad to hear that you are doing well although I am sure you are bored out of your mind...I know I was. I am so sorry I didn't make it to visit when I was there, life got so busy! I hope that things continue to go well and I cannot wait to hear what those special angels are!
Wow, I guess I really can't complain about being sick I can't imagine being on bed rest. You are a tough cookie. I am definitely going to ask my doctor from some Zofran, several people including you have told me to try it. Isn't it so insane that these tiny little babies can make us so sick and yet it's like you are in love from the day you find out. I can't wait to hear what you are having and my vote is a boy and a girl. My sister Lori and my mom get on my blog and read your's too. Lori has been so worried about you and the babies and wanting updates. Just know there are many people out there praying for your little family. Oh and I love your mom by the way. She is so cute and funny and just so nice no matter how long it's been since I've seen her.
I think that it is for sure boy-girl.Think of how fun to have one of each. We missed you guys on our trip, but I am glad that you are taking good care of yourself, it will be totally worth it. No worries I posted a million pictures, so you will just feel like you were there too. I'm so excited to find out what you are having, I'd better get a phone call even though I think my prediction is pretty good. Love you and if you ever just need someone to talk to I'm always around. Hang in there!!!!
Yea, I'm glad to hear your getting a little better each day. We think about you guys daily and love you both! I agree, you do have a wonderful hubby and he is so lucky to have you too...you two are so incredibly strong and I can't even imagine the growth you two have gone through together the past couple years...especially the last few months. I am excited to hear if we'll have more little wild guys or more emotional little girls running around at family dinners...good luck hun! Oh, I'd have to say...Girl Girl! XOXOXOX!
I forgot to tell you. They told me the sex of my babies at 13 weeks. I was having ultrasounds every other week and they could tell at 13 weeks but told me not to go out and buy any baby clothes yet. I did anyway because I had no doubt that I was having 2 boys (I did marry a McGiven.) They confirmed it at every ultrasound from there on out. It was great! I can't wait to hear what you are having. It is so exciting!
Truly-
It's Trina... I got this site from your mom a few months ago. I come on here a lot to check up on you. I think about you all the time, I really do. You are always in my prayers. I love you and know that Heavenly Father is taking care of you. You are special and strong and the experiences you are having are only making you stronger. Sometimes we go through things we don't want to. There are lessons and experiences we wish would come in some other way. Heavenly Father doesn't ask us to always like what's happening in our lives. All he asks is for us to endure. That is what you are doing. You are enduring the situation you have been given and enduring it well. You have been a testimony to me about faith. Keep a spirit of thanksgiving and hope. I know we don't see each other or talk much anymore and that makes me sad. I do love you and want so much good for you and your growing family. I love you, I love you, I love you
ok so I hope you don't mind me commenting on your blog...Long story short my mom is kind of dating your Doctor, my brother is dating Robie and I knew Shane from back in the day... I got to your page from Emily Cleaveland :) Love that girl. Anyway, I had to read your amazing story which totally made me cry and I think you are so strong for getting through all this. I know how hard this must be for you and it's a good thing the Lord is on your side :) Hang in there girl! You have what sounds like a very sweet family and husband which is very important! Oh and I totally agree whith the whole organic thing and all the hormones creating all these health problems... good to know about the Kirkland chicken (that's what we eat :)) We will keep you in our prayers!!!
