Starting over

It has been over a year since I posted anything on here. I am going to try to start posting again just so that those of you who care about the happenings in our family come check us out. So much has happened since... Keagan turned 3, found out we were expecting, found out we were expecting twins, we went fishing again, got ready for the double bundles of joy to arrive, had a lot of fun, and then our lives forever changed when Carter and Morgan arrived in November.
We found out in April that we were expecting a baby. We hadn't really been trying to get pregnant the way that some people do, but we were also not doing anything to prevent a pregnancy from happening. During the early weeks of pregnancy Keagan told his Grammy that he was going to have a baby brother and a baby sister. She laughed it off and told him that he was silly. So as most of you know, I had a tubal pregnancy before we had Keagan, so when I get pregnant I have to have a early ultrasound to check to make sure the pregnancy is in the right place. So off Craig and I go on April 30, 2009 to have an ultrasound done. I am about 8 weeks at this point. From here our day just got weird... the ultrasound tech is looking around and she moves that wand so fast I am not sure what I am seeing, then she says "There is two babies." HUH, are you kidding me? I am not having two babies, we are just having one, I think to myself. Craig is floored. This wasn't even a possibility, we didn't have any twins in the family. So on goes the ultrasound, she finds one heartbeat but not the second one. It is very early and the heart is just starting to develop and beat for the first time so this isn't a concern right now. She tells us that if we came back tomorrow she might be able to see it or it might not show up for a week or so. Needless to say our family and friends are dumbfounded. We go back in for another ultrasound with Dr. Penman about 2 weeks later and there are two little babies with arms and legs and beating hearts. Our lives have officially changed forever. You never really think about having more than one baby at a time unless you are one of those couples doing fertility treatments. We just got LUCKY!!!!
June rolls around and off we go to Minnesota. We had so much fun this year, Keagan loved going out and fishing, playing with Kaleb and Korey, getting in the lake. Then we had a scare mid way through. I woke up bleeding, freaked out, Craig and I go to the hospital in Detroit Lakes. (FYI: I wouldn't ever go back there unless it was a dire emergency, I will have Craig drive to Fargo/Morehead. Hopefully that doesn't happen.) So they couldn't find anything wrong, both babies were fine on the ultrasound. So I took it easy the rest of vacation. The last day I did finally go out a fish with Keagan and Craig and landed my a whooper. I caught a 10 lb northern pike. Yes, Craig is jealous. He has become somewhat of a guide, helping us other fold catch the big ones.
The end of July rolls around and Craig and I are back at the doctors office for another ultrasound to find out the sex of the babies. Now Keagan had already told us that he was having a brother and a sister so that is what I was having. I believed him and would have had trouble believing anyone whom told me differently. Well, she confirmed it, we were indeed having a little boy and a little girl. Now I just had to carry them for as long as possible.
Seemed like the months just flew by. Soon it was Halloween and then we were deciding when the twins would come. About mid November we scheduled a c-section for December 2. I liked knowing when they would be arriving, I just had to make a couple more weeks. Little did I know what was in store for us.
