our incredible midwife, Mary.
8. Bi-weekly ultrasounds. We will totally fill a photo album with pics of these kids before they even leave the womb!
7. Lots of love & support from family & friends.
6. Getting to choose a boy name & a girl name! I like Eva Helena for our daughter & Elijah Sherdon for our son. Eva & Eli!!!! Yeah!
5. Feeling twice the kicks, turns, twists, & love jabs. My favorite part of the day is when the twins are dancing the tango,

even if it is usually at 11:30 PM.
4. The 3500 calorie diet I am on! Wow! For the first time in my life, I am actually trying to gain weight and smiling as the scale numbers climb to the sky! Who can complain about being told to eat ice cream everyday??? Not me! Thank goodness I had all of those years of shake making experience at the Little Chick while growing up.
3. Being chastened for doing too much on a daily basis…

...constantly being told to lie down, relax,
put my feet up, & slow down.
2. The look on people’s faces when I answer, “November” to their constant curious question of, “When are you due?”

I know I look like I am ready to pop right there in the produce section, but technically we still have 5-9 weeks left in this journey!

I love the list!! I REALLY love the names Eli and Eva, those are both on the list of names I love. SOOOOO Cute! I'm so glad things are going well and I love your positive attitude. Can't wait to see them!
How cute is that? Your children - all of them - are lucky!
I am a true believer that children know before they take their first breath how their parents - particularly their mother feels about them. A positive attitude makes a big difference in the life of a happy child. I wouldn't be surprised if they come into this world singing Zip-A-Dee-Doo-Dah.
Good Times!!
You're journaling is great! You're kids will love reading your posts when they are older!
I love your names that you have chosen! Thanks for sharing!
I can't wait to meet Eva and Eli! I hope Eli is a gentleman and lets Eva go first! I was bron 45 minutes before Brent...:)
Love it!! You are so wonderful! Sorry I didn't call you back. I will. I am getting popped on Tuesday (water broken that is). I will fill you in on the details when we chat... miss you!
Katie,
Oh, how I love you! Seriously, you are great! I'm so glad you "found" me and I'm so glad I found your blog! I am thrilled for you to have twins. They are blessed to join your family. I also love the names Eva and Eli!! How cute. Anyway, I'm so glad you're blogging and I think you have an adorable family!
