We Have a Confession...!


Sooo...how do I put this any other way? We are pregnant. :-) Wanna know something else a little crazy? Not only are we having baby #2, we are also having baby #3 at the same time. Say what??!! It's true, you can believe your eyes...we are having twins. (!) Mind blown? Mine was! I'm technically due May 21 (two days before Cam's bday) but full term for twins is really 37/38 weeks, so they will most likely come early May. At least I'm hoping that I will make it until May...! I've been documenting most of the exciting stuff in "unpublished" blog posts, but instead of writing most of it again I'll just post them and share the links!

Here is the story about how we found out there were two babies on the way:

Friends and family were really excited when we announced that we were pregnant with Cameron, but I must say that the reactions this time around have been truly epic and it's been really funny!
I've been writing those down too, so here is a link to that if you wanna read all about it:

And here are the wee babes! (Are you used to that yet? "babes" "babies" "They are due in may." I just barely got used to it)
Here is the first ultra sound when I was 6 weeks or so:

These are a few from my most recent 12 week ultra sound:



Sooo..twins are considered a "high risk" pregnancy which is a little nerve racking, but at the same time has a nice perk! Every time I go in for a check-up I get an ultra sound. Man oh man do I love those ultra sounds and my technician ROCKS. She's really personable and really experienced. Last time I actually got to watch Baby A moving around!

    Wow!! Congrats on twins guys!! Another couple from our college married ward having twins! How funny. You've already had so many ultrasounds. I didn't get that many with my twins, course we didn't find out until 18 weeks! I'll be excited to hear if they are the same gender or not! But, seriously, congrats. Twins are hard, but also such a blessing! They are the best of friends now and adorable. :) If you ever need advice about something, let me know.

    OH man goodness!!! That's awesome! Twins mean you only have to go through pregnancy once to get two babies! I would think the hardest part would be just the first year because later they will just play together and be less work??? Or maybe not! But AWESOME!

Welcome to the World Aiden Titus

Image
Something big arrived in the Porter Family early in the morning on September 29! He's big, he's blonde, and he has kisses all over his chunky cheeks...welcome to the world Aiden Titus Porter!  He was my second largest baby weighing in at 8 lb 10 oz, his abundance of blonde hair is reminiscent of Cameron, he's the 17th grandchild on the Porter side and the 14th on the Terry side and he came into the world fast and furious like his next-older brother, Spencer. He also completes the Porter basketball team. Summer Olympics 2032, here we come! Now where's a coach?    The Story The week of my due date my goal was just to stay relaxed and not get fixated on when Aiden might/might not arrive. The "Anything happening in there?!" questions are always well meant (and I totally ask them of other preggos too, it's just too exciting when someone is about to deliver!) but they make me feel like I should have control over something I do...

Spencer's Birth Story

Image
After those last days of trying my hardest to push away the heightening anticipation of Spencer's arrival, he finally arrived two weeks ago today! Now those days seem so far away. It's amazing how quickly the tables turn. Your life seems to be building up to one particular moment for so long and then all of a sudden you're on the other side of that moment and it's like life has never been any different. Here is the last "belly picture" I took before his arrival and I only thought about it because my parents had requested one. The difference between the first and the fourth kid I guess. This was just a couple of days prior to his birthday. Well, for all of you birth story enthusiasts and for my posterity, here is the story if you so wish to read it. Fair warning: it's probably going to be long. I woke up on Monday morning with that "my due date was yesterday and now I'm just depressed that he's not here yet" feeling. I was a...

Mom's Gone

Image
My Mom died in the early hours of June 29 of complications from pneumonia. She was one month shy of her 67 th birthday. I’ll be processing everything from the morning of her death to the day she was buried for a long time. I’m so grateful that I was able to talk to my mom just two days before she passed. I had sat down at my computer after rocking Spencer to sleep and it was quiet time in the Porter house. My mind went blank as soon as I sat down and I relaxed, which is abnormal because I usually feel torn between doing ten things at once when I sit down to “get stuff done” during quiet time. So I thought, “Well, what should I do? It’s been a while since I talked to Mom...” When I asked her how she was she answered, “Well, actually not so good,” and she explained that she had just come home from the doctor’s office where she found out that she had pneumonia.   She filled me in on some details from her appointment and how she had been feeling recently. My mom has had and ...
