8 Months Old and some SHOCKING news!

Well - first off - I'm running behind on their monthly update - again... It's been a little chaotic but I'll try to make up for it with a great update and some fantastic pictures (which as always I have a ton of!!). SO - I'm going to cut this post a little short because I'm exhausted and still have all the photo uploading to do. SO a very quick update with more to come I promise!

Walker and Jocelyn are doing amazing! They turned 8 months old on July 26th. They are both completely crawling now! Walker decided to turn on the complete crawl button right before 8 months. They both scoot around the house faster than one can possibly imagine! They are both pulling up on furniture or anything else they can get their hands on. Walker is slowly getting the hang of standing while holding things and walking with help. Jocelyn is not only standing while holding onto anything and everything she is practicing letting go to see how long she can stay up. She's also transferring from one thing to another. She loves to walk with help. I don't think it will be long for her with walking and Walker will be right behind her! They are just amazing little kiddos. I don't have all the pics uploaded so here's one to tide everyone over. :-)


And onto the shocking news! SO - I've only had one period since I've had the twins because I breastfed for 6 months. It's been a little crazy lately and I really wanted to have a few beers this weekend. Only problem was I was pretty sure I was a few days late on my period. I told Nick to go pick me up a pregnancy test just to be sure before I drank anything. He totally didn't think I was serious - I was. SO - this morning - 3:45am to be exact - I put the babes back to bed after a feeding and went to take my test that I was SURE was going to be negative and head back to bed. I didn't even make it off the toilet before the positive sign came up! The test says wait 2 minutes - this took like 10 seconds! It came up before even the control line and was as dark if not darker than the control line! HOLY COW! I couldn't wake Nick (go figure!) so for the first hour I was in denial and kept looking at the test - yep plus sign is still there! Second hour I was trying to figure the logistics of having 17 month old twins and a newborn with a husband who will be deploying at any time. EEEEKS! My biggest worry - grocery shopping! LOL How do I do this?! Nick couldn't believe it. Crazy stuff. I ended up taking another test (different brand) at 2:30 in the afternoon and it came up just as quick and just as dark. Umm - ladies and gentlemen - I THINK I'M PREGNANT! HOLY COW! Who knew I could be fertile??!! SO I have an appointment on Monday morning at the Doc for hcg and progesterone to make sure all is well. WOW! Still in shock here but happy and excited for this little miracle. The only symptoms I've had so far is some nausea mid-morning which I thought was just low blood sugar! Apparently not. Other than I've started peeing more at night and I'm tired - but I'm also sleep deprived from non-sleeping babies so I'm just always tired. Anyway - here's my shocking pics! LOL
