And Twins

We found out a couple of moths ago that Deidre is pregnant. The first thing we did was listen to every song with the word "baby" on our iPod and then rocked out in the kitchen. After hearing too many Brittany Spears songs we realized we needed a way for me to keep the news a secret. Luckily, I had thought of this years ago and decided to fake announce baby news at every family get-together. I might have even started in high school, just to scare mom and dad. So if some of you still don't believe us its understandable. After wanting and trying for a kid for what was maybe the hardest time in our lives we can truthfully say Deidre is pregnant. With twins.



There are a couple of reasons I know Deidre is pregnant. First, she stepped on the scale in our bathroom last night and it literally broke. We thought it might just need new batteries but nope,the best fat joke ever happened and I witnessed it firsthand. My life is complete. Second, our car smells like barf and she has thrown up at Souplantation, Arctic circle, and in and out. Article circle is understandable but not in and out or souplatation. The main reason I know she's pregnant is because she had her 18 week doctors appointment yesterday and both babies had good strong heartbeats.



They did an ultrasound and have told us that we are having a boy and a girl. While it is still early and we will find out for sure next wednesday on the sex, we know they are not identical. I was hoping to put them in commercials but I haven't seen any with fraternal twins. Dang you double mint gum advertisers.



As for other news I am no longer the undefeated girls basketball coach at pine view high. Mom and jason came and saw me lose our first sophomore game. I'm sorry they drove all the way to come see that. As you can kinda tell from the picture, the girls appreciated all the support they could get. Not a lot of people come to those games. Weird. I love coaching and start my student teaching on Tuesday. I feel lucky to have our family of four on its way and thankful to everyone who has helped us. Parenting,teaching,and coaching advice is welcomed.

Awesomeness!! As a twin myself, I must say.....PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE don't make them always dress the same and have the same classes and do the same things TOGETHER all the time!! Ugh. But since you will have one of each, you probably won't!! :) Congrats!!

Congratulations! that is such great news, I laughed pretty hard when I heard your scale broke but only because it is the best fat joke ever and because even pregnant you are still a tiny little thing :)

Congrats! We had fraternal twin girls. Twins are worth every bit of frustration you will have.

I've been out of the blogging world for nearly a year, and was checking up on my list of blog buddies. This is the greatest news! Congrats you guys! I can totally sympathize with the throwing-up stuff. So not fun, but so worth it. Best wishes with everything!!
