Lovin' Life

It's been a few weeks since you heard from us and our growing, adorable twins. Everyday our twins are growing, developing something new, and making my belly bigger. I love how much Dusty loves my belly. He constantly rubs it and talks to our babies, and I love his love for them already. He is/will be such an amazing dad. He is learning a lullaby on his guitar to sing to them now, and after they are born. I think it's the sweetest thing!

So, the past few weeks Dusty has been working on the nursery. Yeah we don't know the genders yet, but the walls in the nursery have never been painted, so Dusty painted the walls, ceiling, closet, closet doors, baseboards, trim, and bedroom door all white. Just having it painted white makes it look so much better already..of course we will add color when we find out the genders. I got the carpet shampooed in the nursery and I will probably shampoo it a few more times before we get the cribs and everything all set up. Our other room that we call "the den" is currently a storage unit for all our baby supplies. I love going in there to see all the baby stuff, because for the longest time it was my craft/storage/office room and now it's fun to see baby supplies accumulating!

Like I said before my belly is growing. I absolutely LOVE being able to feel the babies moving around. Even at night when they decide to get up in my rib cage and wrestle with each other..haha! It's the most amazing feeling in the world. It's also a feeling, I thought for the longest time, that I may never get to experience. I always feared I wouldn't get the opportunity to know what it felt like to have a life growing inside me, to feel them move, and to get a "baby bump"!

 I don't know how many of you follow me on facebook, but a week or so ago I mentioned how these babies are truly miracles. Not only are they miracles cause Dusty and I wanted to be parents so bad and we have been blessed with twins, but the sicknesses and health issues I have battled for the past two years have finally subsided. All because of these amazing little miracles! The doctors always told me that getting pregnant would help with my endometriosis, which is what caused my life to be a living hell the past two years, but getting pregnant was not as easy as people made it sound. At least for us it wasn't. But after many, many prayers and the help from our amazing doctors at Utah Fertility Center, they helped us achieve our dreams of getting pregnant and our dreams of me finally feeling better.

I know we all face challenges in life and they are all different from others, but all I got to say is: NEVER, EVER GIVE UP! Each day when you wake up and you feel like all you want to do is cry and never leave your room, just remember there are so many people out there who love you, who pray for you, and who support you. I thought at one point I had lost all hope. I never thought I would get better, I never thought I would have the life I had before my health took a dive in 2010, and I never thought I would ever have a baby of my own. My life felt like it was in shambles. Thank goodness for my husband, who everyday brought life back into me, who held me when all I did was cry, and who loved me no matter what! There is a light at the end of the tunnel. Everything happens for a reason, and like that old saying says, "what doesn't kill you, makes you stronger" is very true. Hold your head up high and support one another. Dusty has been the biggest support in my life and has helped me through so much. I feel so blessed to have him as my husband and I'm so thankful we have had each other through this journey. It has made our relationship a lot stronger because we have constantly had to depend on each other. Thank you Dusty for ALWAYS being there for me, and now for our babies!

Well I will quit rambling and put up some pictures of my growing belly!!
