For those of you that don't know, here is what's been going on in our neck of the woods in the last 8 or 9 months:
In April, the landlords of the building we were renting for the salon/studio informed us they were moving back from Portland and wanted to use their space for their art studio again. In a matter of days, Jeremy also got a call from a friend offering him a contract job in welding that we couldn't refuse, so instead of relocating the business, we decided to close the salon so Jeremy could pursue welding.
The contract job Jeremy was doing ended in late July, and about a month later was offered a job in Walla Walla welding sculptures. It sounded right up his alley, so we packed our things and headed further into wine country.
The day after the move, I decided to take a pregnancy test. Those two lines appeared almost immediately! We were/are ecstatic and immediately began planning where the nursery would be in our new Walla Walla home.
The excitement of what was to come soon gave way to vomit. Lots of vomit. And exhaustion. I remember texting my friend Sara at that point "remind me never to get pregnant again." Little did we know there was a reason I was sooooo sick.
Fast forward to mid-November. Jeremy got laid off and soon we were headed back to the tri-cities (a blessing in disguise). Thank God for understanding landlords. Because we were waiting for health insurance to kick in from this job, we still had not been to the doctor. Fortunately I was able to get a job almost immediately in town and we would soon have health insurance as of Dec 1. We were so excited to see our baby via ultrasound! That month seemed to go on forever.
FINALLY, December 7th rolled around, the day of our ultrasound and first doctor visit. Boy were we in for a shock. Turns out, there was not one but TWO babies!!!! Later that day the doctor told me that was probably the reason I was so sick early on. Apparently making two babies at the same time is hard work on your body :)
So that sums up our crazy lives over the past few months. We plan to post our adventures as often as we can so stay tuned!

I didn't realize you guys were moving around so much in the midst of it all! I am so excited for you guys to become parents. I don't know how people survive twins but I'm sure it will help that you didn't experience a single birth first. So twins will be all you know! I'm looking forward to future posts!
Thanks for commenting Becky!
Yes, our life has been a little crazy lately, but we wouldn't change a thing :)
