McDonalds

Ok, so I LOVE french fries.. all kinds.. I could probably live off of fries and pasta... well, for some reason, I would not allow myself to eat Mcdonald's fries.. seems like I put an OCD-like obsession on myself.. and that I could only eat McDonald's fries if everything was spectacular with the babies... so after every appointment, I thought about eating the fries.. but I never did.. until now... I finally did it! This past Tuesday, after our ultrasound.. things just seemed so great that I let myself breakdown and I ate those stinkin fries! They were delicious and everything feels good. Thanks little ones for growing so perfectly and allowing me the indulgence.

Wonderful Ultrasound!

Well Baby A&B put on a show again yesterday. We had a wonderful ultrasound and both our little ones are growing great. Baby A seemed to be a Karate Kid while Baby B decided to start his/her stubbornness already by sticking their tongue out. It was another beautiful day!

We had another exciting surprise when we got home at the mural for our nursery is taking shape. Our babies are going to have a spectacular room to sleep and play in, so will we!!!

Montana Baby Shower

Yesterday we had an amazing Baby Shower thrown by Aunt Shannon and Yaya Franny.
Our wonderful friends were there: Kelli Schramm, Kelly Engstrom, Misty Hopkins (+1), Amanda and Tailyn Black, Ali Weedin, Vanessa Stevens, Cheryl Runyan, Brenda Hegel, Amber Wilkerson, Candy Tschache, Kara Zurline, Jody McQuiston, Kari Larsen, Barb Wheeler, Connie Hupka, and Amy Wallner-Drake. Although some friends and family couldn't make it, they were still celebrating with us in spirit.
The shower theme was "double"... we had doublemint gum, double-stuffed oreos, and double the fun. It was a beautiful day in the Hyem backyard on Bozeman Street. The sun was out, the birds were chipring, and the squirrels chatted the whole day.
What a perfect day.
Next year you will both be able to meet all of these special people.

First Plane Rides

You kids did GREAT! You must have slept the whole way from Chicago to Montana, because you didn't make a peep or cry once! :)
You boarded so smoothly, and kept to one place without fussing at all. We are so proud of you! We can't wait to show you the pictures.

Gestational Diabetes

The bad news is I have Gestational Diabetes. The good news is, we purposely tested early becuase we thought this might be the case, and I met with a Diabetic Counselor today and right now it's controllable with diet and exercise.
I have to eat specific foods (or rather, stay away from high-carbed foods... no more pasta for me!) I test 4 times per day. I was pretty nervous about what this would all mean, but after meeting with the counselor, I feel confident this will be a healthy lifestyle change and I know it is the best thing for the babies. Ok, I'm off to make a shopping list of all the foods we can stock up on.
