Family Visit and Gender reveal

I was lucky enough to get to have my mom, aunt, and a few cousins stay with me for a week while my siblings and other cousin went to EFY. It was a great week. We cooked yummy food, went shopping, swimming, laughed, went to the gym, and ate more yummy food. We even squeezed in the Aquarium. It also could not have been more perfect timing.  It was the same week we were getting our gender Ultra Sound, so my mom and aunt were able to be in the room.

Before I get to Gender stuff here are some pics we took while they were here.

The Belugas are my FAVORITE

Not sure what is going on with these Starfish.....

My bump looking esp. round :)

If you couldn't tell, we had a great time at the Aquarium 

Cade...LOVE him

                                       

When we got home from the Ultrasound this sweet little thing put his hands around my belly (not my back, just my belly) and said I am hugging the babies I just love them so much. MELT. MY. HEART! Oh Cade, they are going to love you almost as much as I do. 

This was Cade most of the time. He and the Charles were buds

                                     



Gender Reveal:

The Ultrasound was really special for me. I was so thrilled I got to share it with my mom and aunt. It was really fun and I always LOVE seeing my little buds on the screen. It had been a month since I had last seen them and I could not believe how much they had grown. Their little profiles were so cute I teared up. My baby guy let the tech know he was a fella right away, but little miss Bud was being stubborn. (I may have my trouble maker). The Tech had warned me not to get my hopes up cause the position may not be good, but she made her tiny self known and the tech wrote the genders and sealed it in an envelope. The suspense was KILLING us!!!

Since we weren't sure if my buds were going to reveal themselves the Gender Party was last minute. There is NO way I could have pulled it off without the help of my Aunt and mom. I wanted to do a bee theme to go along with the bears we were opening.

Friday GB and I made our way to Build  a Bear and had the ladies at the counter assist us. They were so pumped about it, it was really cute and made us more excited. We picked out two boy bears, two girl bears, and two outfits for each. Then we handed it all in with the envelope and left our phone number to let us know when they were done.

We were dying when we went to pick up the bears.

My Aunt busted her little bum putting my party together with me.I was so grateful for all the help, my family is really great at lending a hand. My mom and cousin Ben were my little cleaners and made sure my house was spotless. My awesome friend Darcey made all my cupcakes. It was a little stress full it came together. Everything was EXACTLY how I envisioned it. I was SOOOOO happy with it all. 

Don't Darcey's cupcakes look amazing! They were Caramel Apple. The caramel on top looks just like honey.

Cade was pumped! He kept telling me all week there was one boy and one girl in my belly. Smart little sucker :)

                                       

Opening my little fella!

Finally! A Bradham Girl!! We did it

I still feel like I am living a dream. I have always wanted twins, and really wanted boy/girl twins. I can NOT believe I got it. I love these little monkeys. I started to feel them and it is the most wonderful feeling. Being pregnant is everything I thought it would be and then some. Thanks all the family and friends who helped, came, and watched via internet. It meant a lot to us and we were so glad we got to share that experience with all the people we love. My family left the next morning and I was sad. I love having them around. Thanks for all the help Mom and Shelia!! You are awesome and I love ya to pieces.
