Uno, Dos!!

Some exciting news from the Freestones-we are pregnant with dos, that's right-twins!!  There are two little tikes growing inside of me right now.  Last night was the first night I felt little flutters in my stomach and I'm pretty sure it's wasn't gas.  I am in my fourth month, fourteen weeks and five days to be exact.  I am the nerd who knows exactly how far along I am to the day.  Every Thursday I'm another week.  I am due July 15th, but will probably deliver anywhere from 2-4 weeks early.  The first 12 weeks I was incredibly sick, not morning sick, but claustrophobic, never goes away sick.  I felt like I had two human parasites in me, eating me alive.  We only had to make one trip to the Emergency Room (knock on wood) for dehydration.  No biggie though, they just gave me some IV fluids and IV Zofran and we were on our way.  The fluids felt like drugs pumping into my veins-it felt soooo good.  After that one visit I started wanting to go there everyday for that rejuvenating feeling.  I was pretty sick through the holidays, hence the absence of any updated posts.  At about 12-13 weeks I began feeling human again and started getting out of bed, taking showers, brushing my teeth and was even able to eat normal meals.  I feel really blessed because I know a lot of people are sick up through week 20 or beyond (knock on wood again).  I'm a little superstitious.  Enough talking, here are some pics. 

      TWIN B

I think this one's a boy.

   TWIN A

Not sure what this one might be.
             ME-the day I found out the test was positive!

While I was sick, Zac was a trooper.  He really had to fend for himself and for me.  I couldn't walk in the kitchen and he couldn't cook anything that smelled.  He brought me everything I ate to the bedroom.  One night he was craving cookies.  He is allergic to raw eggs so he can't touch raw cookie dough.  If you look closely you'll see he put ziplocs over his hands to make them.  How genius.  Needless to say I couldn't leave the bedroom the rest of the night because of the smell.  I don't recall chocolate chip cookies smelling so foul.

This is the father of our future children.  You may wonder what he is doing.  Well he likes to twirl his wedding band on his finger-ALL THE TIME.  It pretty much falls off every time he does it, but he can't break the habit.  It's fallen off in the movie theater, at church during sacrament, in the car and this time in the couch.  You'd think he could just reach down and pull it out of the crack.  But not this time.  It is totally sandwiched in there somewhere and we cannot get it out.  We are going to an Indian Reservation on saturday to buy him a cheap replacement.  

Here is a really bad picture of us at Christmas time.  Taken with my Iphone and my not-long- enough arm to get a decent angle.

Here we are at a tacky Christmas sweater party.  I made my sweater.  I never knew I had such a knack for tackiness.  It was so fun to buy puffy paint.  Such a blast from the past.  Zac sort of looks like a little elf.

This is a really long post for me.  The reason: we just finally got internet today after not having it for over six months.  We never got it hooked up when we moved because we were trying to save money.  Living without the internet is like living without water.  You eventually weaken and die without it.  I was missing out on all my blogger friend's lives, but I'm back and so excited.  We will just go without groceries for a while, a small sacrifice to be reconnected to the outside world.  I am wrapping this up finally, but want to finish by saying how grateful and excited both Zac and I are to have the blessing of finally becoming parents!!
