YEAH , It's official Todd proposed to Missy on Sat.
We are really excited for them and really really like Missy. She is really down to earth, nice, loves our kids, and more than anything she has really made Todd happy and she's the type of person I would be friends with wheather we were related or not. I know that sounds stupid and sob storyish but it's the truth.
Bed rest is going well, we went to the Dr.'s last Friday.
GOOD NEWS!!!
Rusty is still on the top, with his head on my left side and his feet on my right side. He now weigh's ....... 3lbs. 4 oz. YEAH !!! what a relief that he's over 3 lbs. I'm so glad!!! We've hit another milestone.
Abbey is on the bottom with her head on my right side and her feet to the left. She weigh's ..... 3lbs. 14 oz. YEAH !!!
It's normal that they are different sizes, we just hope that they really start to put on the pounds now. It's confirmed now that I will be having a C- section, I'm still nervous but only because I don't know what to expect from the unknown.
I am measuring 41 cm which is good. I am very interested on exactly how big I will be getting with at least 1 month to go. I already feel like a beached whale, It will be funny to see how big I am going to get.
From the Previous blog update .......
The beginning of June my OBGYN died. He was m uch more than just Doctor to Mike and I. He was like a family friend, his receptionist Megan is one of my very favorite people. I really miss them. I am currently seeing Dr. Reiser's partner who had taken over Dr. Reiser's current patients. I like Dr. langeland, I really do but he's not Dr. Reiser, it's not the same. I really miss the feel of the office. The friendliness, warmth and love that I felt when I walked into the office. PLEASE don't get me wrong the office is still a great office, Dr. Langeland is a very good Dr. he jusst isn't Dr. Reiser. If I was pregnant with only one baby maybe I wouldn't be having such a hard time, but I was only able to have a total of two appointments with Dr. reiser knowing that we were having twins. I'm not sure what I am going to do after my 6 week post-partum check up. I need to find a new Dr. I'm not going to be able to see Dr. Langeland - the only reason being ... It's just not the same.
If anybody has any advice please let me know. I have no idea what to do.
Sorry that was probably to much for some of you, but that was really the first time i have put my feelings into words and really got them out. Megan if your reading this I love you and don't feel bad about crying, because i'm doing it to.
On a Happier Note
We are going to be adding a TON of pictures to our blog this weekend as well to our face books. Just so everybody knows, we have a lot more pictures on our facebook accounts just because it's easier to post more pictures than we can on our blog.
Thanks to everybody for "listening" to my release heart-ache, pain and pleasures.

It's about time !!!
Well everybody it's been way to long since my last entry. I'm VERY sorry about that. We've had some action happen around here. For now I'll just give a brief explanation and later I'll go into greater detail and post pictures. On June 28th we had a get together for some of "the old gang" as Mike put's it. It was nice to see everybody again. For some it had been more than 5 years and for others only a month or two. On July 1st I began bedrest. To be totally honest until just last week I hadn't been doing a very good job at it. Our wonderful ward has taken on such a role to help me out. Every morning Monday thru Friday ( well the days my mom doesn't work) somebody shows up at the house at 9am to take the kids until about oneish. They help me get the kids into bed for naps, and again someone is here at 3 and takes the kids until 6, when Mike gets home. And on Tuesdays and Thursdays somebody brings dinner and we have another shift start from 6-8!
Until this week I have been trying to get the clothes washed, folded and put away for The babies as well as All the other laundry.
Now I think I have completly over done it. Way over done it. I'm REALLY felling it now. I can't even get out of bed by myself.
So Baby update ~
To make things even better my OBGYN died at the beginnign of june - That's a whole story on it's own. For another time and day.
I am 30.5 weeks along and measuring ... well at the last appointment on Last Monday the 7th I was measuring 36cm. So the babies are getting much bigger. Everybody says that i look just as big as I did the day I delivered Max and Michaella. It will be interesting to see how big i really get.
So this past Saturday, I was really craving Chinese food and Mike being the best husband in the world (and not really wanting chinese food AT ALL!) went and picked up the chinese take-out.
BAD IDEA on my part. Sunday am at 4 i woke up with the worst food poisoning I've ever had. And Mike (being awake for the 4th time already taking care of max) was so nice to clean up after me being sick, give me a wonderful back rub to try to calm the muscle spasms - that were turning into contractions- and gave me and of course the babies such a wonderful blessing. And made sure i was asleep before trying to fall asleep himself. Isn't he just the best?
Sunday came and went. The kids were in best i finally had decided that I wasn't going to die and we got ready for bed. Sunday night mike was up all night with the samething i had. THank goodness the kids had decided to be stubborn and not eat the chinese! So mike was sick and there was no way that i could help or take care of him, except to measly call into work and leave a message that he wouldn't be in monday. What a way to repay huh!
Finally monday is gone and mike is better and back at work, the kids went to "work" and are now napping. P.S. when I started bedrest mike changed his schedule around so go to work later so we explained to Max and Michaella that they now are going to work as well ( they had been playing work for sometime now so it was perfect.) so when somebody comes to get them we give hugs and kisses and give them a "job " for work like Max is to make sure Michaella doesn't get into trouble. and Michaella's is to make sure Max gets enouugh to drink. So Max takes care of Michaella and Michaella will get her and Max's sippy cups and they have drinks every so often.
It's so cute how they make sure to take care of each other.
Anywhoo, that's a quick up date ... Of cousrse we had 4 th of july parties, swimming, more ultrasounds, Dr. Appts. and lots of other things to come later.
The biggest news is we FINALLY have our computers and internet working so now I will be able to be a better Blogger.
Sorry again for sucha long break!
