I think I can, I think I can!

I'm caught up to January 2011!  Now I just have a year to get through!  Luckily (?) I was so sick throughout most of my pregnancy I didn't take too many photos.  I'm going through my Facebook updates and iPhone text messages to find all of the main things that happened.  Sad, I know!!  But hey, it's better late than never!

I'm also realizing that I'm already falling behind since it's mid-February and I haven't posted for January or February this year...  How do people keep their blogs so updated??  Anyone have tips for me?

Let's try this again!

I am going to try to go back and find my favorite pics from the last year and a half and then start over. With the birth of the twins, time is flying by and I hope to use this blog as somewhere to put the pictures and memories I don't want to forget! Hopefully I will find a few moments here and there to post! Wish me luck!

December 2010

Since I had low progesterone with Camden, I wasn’t surprised that my doctor started the progesterone supplements as soon as I found out I was pregnant.   I had a lot of spotting with Cam before the supplements and it was the same this time.  As soon as the supplements kicked in the spotting stopped.  On December 17th I started bleeding really bad and bad cramps followed.  I had never experienced a miscarriage but I just knew that was what was happening.  It was a Friday so my doctor and office ultrasound tech wasn’t in.  The nurse told me to head to the emergency room but I pushed a little and she was able to make me an appointment to have an ultrasound at Mercy instead.  She told me it sounded like I was miscarrying and to prepare myself.  Joe and Camden went to my appointment with me in case I had to be admitted.  We got settled into the room and the tech moved the screen toward her and began.  She didn’t say a word and left the room for a couple of minutes.  When she came back to the room, she looked at the screen again.  I braced myself.  Then she asked “ Are there any twins in your family?”  Then it hit me.  With a shaky voice I said “My mom’s a twin.”  And just started bawling.  The poor lady had no clue what to say as I was crying uncontrollable.  Joe was completely quiet holding onto Camden.  I think he was in shock!  I’m not sure why I reacted the way I did. It was probably a mix of relief, scared, shocked, excited, worried and any other emotion you can think of.  I still can’t figure out why Joe reacted the way he did, but I’m thankful for it.  I don’t know what I would have done if he wasn’t the strong one in that moment!  After I got myself together, she showed us the ultrasound and both of the babies.  It was so cool to think that there are 2 in there!!  She told us that they are fraternal (just like my mom and Aunt Dee).  While we were walking back to the car I called my mom… She was shocked but SOOO excited!

So let’s get back to December!

We went to the Train Show.  We take Camden every year and he loves it!

We took Cam to see Santa at The Bass Pro Shops.  I think this is the best Santa in OKC!

If I remember sometime, I’d like to add some video from Cam’s school Christmas play.  It was really cute!  Also, Cory and Robyn welcomed my new nephew Gavin this month!!
We visited Indiana for Christmas again this year.  Camden set milk and cookies out for Santa and Santa didn’t disappoint!

We celebrated Mason’s 5th Birthday.

Whew… What a crazy December!

November 2010

Daddy and Camden built Camden a toolbox.  It was a very serious job!


Did I mention I was also teaching Camden’s Sunday school class yet?  These are the cute hats we made for Thanksgiving!

We made another visit to the museum with Jacob and his mommy.

Oh and we just found out today (11/30/10) that…

That was the picture my mom and sister recieved via text today :-)

September 2010

We had a fun, busy September! 

This is Cam’s favorite thing to do at Old Navy.  He cracks me up!

Camden and I flew to Indy for a quick visit.  The time always goes by way too fast!

Camden and I drove to Fort Wayne to visit my college friend Sara and her new baby Grace.  She was so beautiful!  It was so great to see Sara and catch up!   My mom, Stacy, Alexa, Rylie, Camden and I decided to take a road trip to Chicago.  We met up with a couple more of my college friends, Lindsay and Amy.  It had been over 6 years since I had seen them!  So glad we were able to get together!!

We took the girls to American Girl in Chicago.  Even Camden enjoyed it.

Back in Indy I was able to meet up with some of my P-Town girls for dinner which was so fun!! OF COURSE I didn’t take any pictures… GRR!
Camden and I had lunch with Grandma and Grandpa Brewer.

We had the annual Cousin’s photo session and had lunch afterwards.


Here are some favorites of the Cousin’s photos that were taken.





Mason and Camden have become great friends!


And to top September off, Camden started his first day of Children’s Day Out!  Did I mention that I have decided to help teach his class??  Yep so much for getting a couple hours to do errands everyday.  Should be an adventure!

August 2010

We went to the Science Museum with Jacob and his mommy.  This is our favorite spot!  Shocking, I know

It was a hot one!!

Another Science Museum visit!  This is also a favorite!

Daddy fixed up one of our old laptops for Camden to play with.  He thinks he is such a big boy having his own laptop!

How cool is this monster truck ride at Chuck-e-Cheese??

I found a little time to sew a nap mat for Camden.  He is attending Children’s Day Out this year at our church.  He’s so excited!!

Turned out pretty cute!!

He will appreciate me posting this picture when he’s older, haha!

July 2010

We had such an amazing July!  We vacationed in Branson, MO with my family.

My mom and dad on “Ride the Ducks”

Grandma with Cam and Rylie

We stayed at Big Cedar Resort and it was so cool!  They have so much to do!!  They even have a putt putt course (Cam was so excited!).








We also took a day trip to the Oklahoma Aquarium which is close to Tulsa.  The stingrays were our favorite!
