Last Christmas Before Santa Comes to our house!

We had a wonderful Christmas with the family. Danny and I woke up Christmas morning and were talking about how different things will be next year. We can't wait!!

22 Week Ultra Sound

Danny and I went to the 22 week ultra sound appointment on Friday. They are both growing at the perfect rate and look great. Derrick is weighing in at 1 pound exactly and Elissa is weighing in at 1 pound 2 oz.

I am feeling constant movement and kicking at this point. They are very active babies, which is why the pictures came out a little blurry. They would not sit still for the tech to take the pictures.

This is a Head to Head picture of the both of them


This is Derrick


This is Elissa
