Thanksgiving Pics

We are both 19 weeks!


Cole and Elias enjoying grandpa.

They both had to have a lawnmower to push! Luckily Todd and Trisha have two.

Too cute!

I don't think Elias was so sure that this point.

Baby # 2

We wanted to share with you....



We are excited and look forward to having a little girl join our family! Since we are keeping the name a secret we will be calling her Baby Gertrude until she is born! :)

We look foward to seeing many of you next week!!! :)

Thanksgiving Details!

I think Grandma has probably talked to most of you, but we will be hosting Thanksgiving Dinner (and of course fun fellowship) at the Hitchcock's Household on Friday, November 28th at 12:00p. We would love to have everyone that can make it! I am not sure if Hodges, Kirks, and Moores, are coming. Keet and Hillary you will be leaving before Friday correct? Let us know if you are coming and what side dish you plan to bring.

If anybody will be traveling from afar you are welcome to stay at our house if needed.

Last year worked out great with the food, so if everyone can bring the same things.

Here is what I remember:
Todd and Trisha-Turkey and mashed potatoes
Dave and Tami-Pumpkin Pie (YUM!)and veggie tray
Steve and Margie-plates, cups, napkins, silverware, a side dish
Joe-Drinks
Mindy and Bobby-deviled eggs or a side dish?
Grandma and Grandpa-Rolls and ? another side dish

We look forward to seeing you!!

It's a...

It's a boy!, originally uploaded by kkirk78.

We had our ultrasound today and everything looks good. She is pretty convinced he is a boy but said we should hopefully know for sure after the next ultrasound in two weeks. She got a few different angles and then said that if it is not a boy she is not sure what that little thing is then...hehe...

We are excited and now the fun of naming him begins....boy names are so much harder to come up with than girl names.

Pictures

Here are some pictures of Cole from the past couple of weeks. He will be 18 months on the 21st - he is pretty funny a lot of the time. Quite the personality.

Just to let you all know that we are in the midst of hopefully selling our house. We received an offer and have accepted it. We just have to get through the inspection and closing now. We should close by December 12th. We would appreciate your prayers that everything continues to go smoothly with the process.

Also, in the few months we will need to find some place else to live here in Nebraska. We are hoping to rent a house, but there really aren't any available right now. There are a few houses for sale, but we are very leary of buying when we don't know how long we will be here, and there aren't a lot of people moving to Stromsburg so it could be tough to sell when we do move on. So, we are trying to make the right decision.

Good News!

I just had to post my good news. We had the triple test done at my doctor's appt last week and they called yesterday to tell me that everything came back normal. For those of you that don't know the triple test tests for downs syndrome, spina bifida and other disorders. We had the same test done last time I was pregnant and the spina bifida came back positive. That is when we had the ultrasound done and realized we had twins. It was positive b/c it measures the protein and since there were two it was double the protein. Anyways, it was a huge relief yesterday to get good news this time. We have an ultrasound this Friday so maybe we'll find out if it's a boy or girl but I'm not getting my hopes up. I will post a pic of our baby ultrasound pic if we get one.
