28 Weeks!
Well, we've been getting a new ultrasound every week but they really aren't all that different or even exciting at this point because the babies are so big that you are looking at mysterious body parts that only the experts can easily translate for us. So...we've spared you those. But, this week, the doctor flipped the switch and let us get a few minute glimpse of "4D" without paying $350.00.
So, here it is. 3D ultrasound of Tanner. It's really amazing in motion. Tatum wasn't as cooperative. She was face down so there was nothing to see that day. Maybe another day.
Johnna is feeling great
and loves being pregnant, although she is tired a lot. She isn't on bed-rest but her doctor is making her take it easy so she is now officially a house wife/stay at home mom. Her class is in very good hands so she doesn't have to worry about her kids and can take it easy.
Here are the most asked questions out in public:
5.You look like you're ready to pop! (nope, 8 more weeks)
4.Is it a boy or a girl? (heh heh heh)
3.Twins? Oh you poor thing! (we're excited...really)
2.Do twins run in your family? (No)
1.Oh My, a boy and a girl? Are they identical? (Here's your sign)

Well, what
began as a blank canvas of a room, has now started to look like a nursery. Scrapbooking supplies, and guitars have dissapeared and what was once plain white walls has made way for Tanner & Tatum.
We
tried our hand at Wood Laminate Flooring and it looks pretty darn good if I do say so myself.
Johnna is putting on the final plank of the flooring.
This is a
day laborer that we picked up down on the corner...total waste of money!
Here's Johnna and the original baby
.
Here's some decorations for the nursery.
Thank God for starting out with 10 fingers.
These letters turned out really good.
The letters before and after.
the wood...
the work...
the reward...

Our first Ultrasound! Suprise....Twins!! What a day! "...it seems my life, is gonna' change" We went to dinner that night and gave Johnna's parents two little matching outfits. They didn't get it at first (they were thinking, why did you get US baby clothes?). They both flipped out.
We e-mailed this picture to my mom. She of course flipped out too!

This is my
beautiful little mom-to-be not really showing yet but she says she can tell a difference. 2 months along.

10 weeks
pregnant! We've got babies! Today was the first day to see something that resembles babies. This was the coolest day of our lives. They're going to be good dancers. We got to see them move a whole lot, moving their little hands and feet at the same time.
August 12, 2006
yep, 3 months along and starting t o show!
This is the 12 weeks mark! We met our new Dr. He's the best in the West. He's hilarious and really makes you feel comfortable. His office is really
high-tech and there is a big T.V. to view the ultrasound on. The babies looked so clear. He asked
us right away if we wanted to know what they were. Johnna and I looked at each other and were like Yes! We couldn't believe they could tell at twelve weeks. We waited in anticipation to find out. "Twin A" was...a girl! We were elated but so curious to see if it would be one of each or two girls. "Twin B"...stands for Boy!!! One of each (the only scenario that we didn't have names picked out for)! We were thrilled; and it will be nice to not have to refer to them as "A" and "B".

4 months along. We had an appointment with Dr. Rowe and Johnna's mom and dad were there and my mom.
The ultrasound room was full of excited parents and grandparents! The babies are 6 ounces each and about 6inches long.
We found out that Tanner is on Johnna's right side head down and Tatum is on her left side, "right-side-up." After that, we met my Meemaw and we all went and bought the nursery furniture
with the help of ALL our parents and then we went to dinner to celebrate. It was the first time that our parents had seen an ultrasound in person. We all had fun.

hands being there soon. Oh, and now both Tanner and Tatum are head down/feet up with Tanner on the right and Tatum on the left.

Today we had another appointment with Dr. Rowe. 20 weeks tomorrow! They did another ultrasound and they're growing fast. They estimated that the babies are about 9 or 10 inches long. That's about the size of a VHS cassette tape.
Johnna has been able to feel the babies for a couple of weeks now (17 or 18 weeks) but since about 18 1/2 weeks, I've been able to feel them from the outside! She'll probablly get sick of my 
hands being there soon. Oh, and now both Tanner and Tatum are head down/feet up with Tanner on the right and Tatum on the left.

We're Pregnant! We traveled all over Texas spreading our excitement with the folks.
June 12, 2006
We first caught a flight from Intercontinental to Abiline Regional Airport and rented a car to suprise Johnna's parents at the lakehouse. And no, we didn't wear these shirts on the plane!
And yes, my shirt is from the boys section (do you think a grown man would wear that color?).
These are Johnna's grandparents. They were also at the lakehouse. Grandad always wears this shirt.
We drove back to the airport 2 hours later and caught a flight back to Intercontinental in
Houston. Then, we drove up to The Woodlands, TX to meet my mom and step-dad. They thought we were just meeting them for dinner! Little did they know we needed a table for 5, not 4! (Note: Little did we know that we needed a table for 6 not 5 or 4. More on that later!)June 13, 2006
We sprung the news on my Dad at his house! I was proud to get to tell my Dad. At least my Dad had on a pastel shirt too. They were really excited for us.
