Life, Meatballs and photos!

So one of my New Year's resolutions is to blog more. I could have said I would blog every day but come on people that would be a big fat FAIL right off the bat. So my goal is to blog more than once a month.  Derrick and I got a new camera from his parents for Christmas and my goal is to one learn how to use it and two, actually put them on my blog. Number two will have to wait a big because our USB cords are in storage. This is a new journey for Derrick and I because we have never been good at taking photos. New year, new babies, new photos!

Christmas:
We went back to Arkansas for Christmas. Let me just say that I've turned into a horrible traveler.  Derrick said he never wants to take me that long in the car pregnant again. Frankly, I completely agree with him. I was like a fussy toddler with no nap that is teething. I just couldn't get comfortable and would have sudden outbursts letting it be known; they always involved having to stop (poor guy). So we've decided any future trips will be taken by airplane for this baby mama.
The whole trip all I could think about was that next Christmas we will have 7 month old twins crawling around!! It's not something I can really comprehend or even want to at this point. It's just all a little crazy; but good crazy. We had a great time with our family and friends; we are truly blessed.

14 wk Dr's appointment:
As you can see we could not find out the gender. So we're hoping for our next appointment on the 24th. I think it's two boys but would love one girl. We'll see. We know they are both precious miracles whatever gender they end up being.
The doctor said both look great. She measured my stomach and I'm measuring in at 20wks for a single baby:). I can't believe I'm measuring 6wks ahead. I can't imagine what 30ish weeks is going to look like. Derrick and I are going to start taking consistent photos of me on Sundays so we can see the growth. Plus that's when we know I'll be showered and dressed :)!

Weekend:
Tonight we are going to a friends house to enjoy their new fire pit. I bought some new raspberry chipolte sauce and I'm super excited about making meatballs in the crockpot.
