8. Did you want to find out the sex? Absolutely!

15. How many pounds did you gain throughout the pregnancy? I lost 35 in the first trimester, and only gained back about 12 or 15.
16. Did you have a baby shower? Yes I had a few. I was so grateful!! We would have died. Buying 2 of everything really hurt financially.

27. What name did you choose? Landon and Carter
28. How old is your first born today? They are 2 years and 9 months old.
29. What would you go back and change? I would have asked more questions once I knew they'd be taking the boys early. I wasn't prepared for them to be in the NICU for so long. I am grateful that they were, but I wish that I had been better prepared ahead of time.
Twin A is Landon
Twin B is Carter
I cried when we first saw this!
This was taken in the NICU when the boys were about 5 or 6 hours old.
Landon is the bigger baby in the front.
Carter is the smaller baby in the back.

Awwwwwwwww.....that is such a sweet picture of your boys!
I've never seen an ultrasound with twins - way cool!
I'm so glad I got to be a part of all of that unfolding! I remember the day you guys told us. We invited you over on a Sunday for soup in bread bowls and I'm pretty sure all four of us started crying. I remember when you came to show us the ultra-sound pics, and we put in our guesses of what it was. I did guess twins, but I guessed a boy and a girl. And I remember seeing them for the first time that day at the hospital! I threw up all the way to the hospital and all the way home, but I remember thinking it was sooooooo worth it! It was such a neat experience for me. And I remember that day Marty was mushy and gushy every time he saw his big brother, the new daddy, beaming from ear to ear. Give Landon and Carter and kiss from me and tell them Auntie Em loves and misses them!
Who knew such cute little babies could turn into such big stinkers!
It's hard to believe they were ever that tiny. I remember holding them in the NICU & thinking how fragile they felt in my arms!! Kids grow up too fast!!
