28 weeks

And she is getting bigger...and well I am too... :)

I passed my glucose test and got a darn shot in my bum because I have a negative blood type. All in all this pregnancy is going just fine! Some days I just don't understand how our stomachs can just GROW and STRETCH. I feel like popping all the time!

24 weeks

These weeks seem to fly by now. I can't believe I am over half way there! Nothing really has changed over the last few weeks except I am having braxton hicks and getting bigger. It has been interesting to see the differences with carrying one baby versus two. There hasn't been too many differences except I can't fit into all my maternity clothes yet. Guess my big belly last time was a little too big!

No names have been finalized for this baby girl yet. I have a few I have liked but Clark seems to think they are all silly. 

We were watching a friend's baby here the other day and Brooklyn was so gentle and loving and Beckham would just laugh. I really hope this is a good indication of what is to come!

Mother's Day 2013

I had a wonderful Mother's Day this year. It started out with Clark waking up with the kids and making some delicious German pancakes! YUM! Clark was even able to ride with us to church since there were no early church  meetings!

Each mom was given a pretty rose and we enjoyed listening to the kids sing a Mother's Day song.

Clark let me get a nap in after church before we headed over to his sisters for yummy Hawaiian haystacks.

I  received a pretty hand stamped bracelet I wanted! Over all it was a wonderful day and I feel so blessed to be a mother to Beckham and Brooklyn. They are such a joy and pleasure to be around. They even teach me a few things  :)

I am also grateful for my mother who has always been there for me. She has taught me how to love be kind and patient. She has been a wonderful example to me through my life and she is a great Nana to our kids. 

Mother's Day from Lisa Leonard

21 weeks

Today was my 20 week appointment with the specialist to check out the baby! I was lucky enough to get someone training a new person so I was able to get a 4D picture!

She is still a GIRL and they said everything looks fine! 10 fingers and 10 toes! 

She looks just like Brooklyn did at this stage. She is going to be such a sweet pretty baby.

I have been feeling fine but sleeping has been a little difficult at night. I get so tired but by the time I get in bed I am awake for what seems like FOREVER. The tummy is getting bigger and my appetite is pretty normal! I wonder if I will gain more weight towards the end. I mean I know I will but I wonder how much and how sudden.

I go back to the specialist in 2 weeks because they couldn't get a great picture of the heart. I can't wait until September! Hopefully we can find a new before then!

Twins 2nd Birthday

The time has come and the twins are TWO! WOW, time sure did go by fast. It seems like yesterday they were born! I love this age though and can't wait to see what else they learn! They are so smart and surprising us each day with what they do!

We started the day off with a little party with the family at Monkey Joe's. Its a fun inflatable play place for kids and little toddlers. 

After Monkey Joe's we ate at the kid friendly MCDONALDS! Gotta love free food and happy meals! :) It was nice to have my parents there along with Clark's parent's and sister!

Later that night we had all the family over for some cake and ice cream! Gotta love FREE cake too! haha

The kids were a little more into the cake and singing this year compared to last year.

A nice family picture before the kids opened some presents! They were spoiled by everyone this year!

I think by the end of the day they were so tired from all the fun! Can't wait until next year!

Beckham and Brooklyn are such a joy to be around. They are learning so many new things each day. They have such sweets spirits and are over all really good kids. Two years has really gone by fast for us and its kind of sad to know that they will just continue to grow and not be our little babies anymore. You both are walking and talking and exploring everything you can get your hands on. You both love each other and love being around all your extended family. We love your laughs, hugs, smiles, and even your fake whines (sometimes haha). We hope you will continue to grow up loving to be around one another and playing with each other! You both are the best of friends!

18 weeks

Today I hit 18 weeks. Time is starting to go by just a little bit more fast but I am okay for it to slow down. I'm not sure if I can handle 3!!! Nothing much has changed in the last few weeks except my belly has been growing a little more and I have finally been able to feel little flutters (started around 16 weeks). I love when that starts to happen because then I feel just a little bit more connected to this little girl.

I have a few names I like but Clark seems to shoot them down. Hey, if he can't come up with any names, then I will end up naming this baby and that's fine with me! I don't even feel that big but the pants are sure getting tighter and I feel like I waddle a bit. Clark asked me the other day when we get to pull out the body pillow! HAHA. He used that bad boy right after I gave birth because he loved it.

In just a few weeks we will head to the perinatologist (who I was all to familiar with last pregnancy) and get my 20 week check up!

Peek A Boo

Today was a great day! Beckham learned how to do peek a boo and say 'boo'. He has been a little slower to speak and do things than Brooklyn so this HUGE! Good job buddy!!
