Our Heavenly Father's Plan

Heavenly Father sure has tested our faith this past week. But with our faith and knowledge in the gospel, we have been strengthened to get through our trials. This past week we lost our two precious twins. We now have two beautiful guardian angels watching over us and protecting us. I don't want to go into too much detail as to respect Ryan and me at this time but we did want to thank everyone who has helped us get through this hard time in our lives. They were two beautiful twin boys that have fulfilled their mission on this earth and are now living with their heavenly father in pure happiness. We also know that they are hanging out with our lost loved ones having a party. We would like to thank the wonderful, amazing staff at Logan Regional Hospital, especially out nurses Judy, Emily, and Nancy and most importantly our amazing doctor, Dr. McCulloch. They made this process much easier to get through. We would like to thank our amazing family for all their support. They have been with us every step of the way and will continue to be with us throughout. We would like to thank our amazing friends for their kind comments. We are so lucky to have friends like you. Most importantly, I would like to thank my amazing husband Ryan. He has been my rock and knight in shining armor. (Or however you spell it.) He has strengthened me and has been there for me every step of the way. With his support, I can get through this time in our lives. He has taken care of me and made sure that every need of mine has been met. I love you Ryan and definitely could not have done any of this without you. But most, most importantly, we want to thank our heavenly father for trusting us with these beautiful twin boys. We know their stay was short, but their mission was fulfilled. Because of our heavenly father and the gospel, we know that when we pass on to the next life, our twin boys will be there to greet us and welcome us home. How comforting is that? We know that we will be a family forever and that comforts us. We love you boys and can't wait to see you again.
Love,
Mom and Dad

Little bit of an update.....

Hello all! It's been a bit since we updated our blog. Things are going well in our parts. The babes are growing on schedule. At our last appointment baby a was a day ahead of schedule and baby b was a day behind but the doctor isn't worried at all. It was really cute, when the doctor was trying to get their heartrates on the ultrasound, baby b was hiding from her. He/She kept bouncing around and hiding behind baby a. The doctor had a hard time getting the heartrate. As parents, we are already starting to deal with the fact we might have some stubborn kids. It is really neat to see them on the monitor and see them starting to look like actual humans. Ryan was really excited that they are not looking like wet rats anymore. He didn't like those pictures much. I have lost weight so my doctor gave me the orders to start putting weight on. I never thought I would ever hear that from my doctor :) Personally, I was excited to lose weight. I can never lose weight so this was an accomplishment for me. My belly is expanding and feeling weird. I think I have to face the fact that I need to get some new pants. I told Ryan the other day that the babes don't like it when I exercise. The other day when I was walking to school my belly felt really weird and got really tight. I took that as them telling me that they didn't like that. When I told Ryan that, he just laughed at me. Well, that is pretty much our life right now. Just an expanding belly and happiness for our two babes that are going to join our family. We have an appointment on the 25 with our doctor for a check-up then we have an appointment on April 4 to find out what we are having. Any guesses? Starting April 4 we have to see the specialist eveyr two weeks to measure the amniotic fluid level to keep an eye on the twins for twin to twin transfusion. We are keeping in our prayers that that doesn't happen. We hope that you are all doing well and we will keep you updated with our lives as well. Hopefully next appointment we will get some pretty cool pictures of the babes!
