Announcing Baby Twitchell #2!!!

We are so excited to announce that we are going to have a baby! Brinley is excited that she will be a BIG SISTER! I am 12 weeks along and am doing well. I have been tired and sick but I think that part is almost over! This ultrasound is from 3/27/09 and our little baby is about 3.7 cm long. It is not the best picture, but ultrasounds are glossy and hard to photograph I discovered. You can see the baby's head on the right and the body on the left, there is a little leg too. We took Brinley to this appointment and she thought it was cool that she could see the baby and see the arms and legs move!

We got Brinley this Big Sister shirt and that is how we told Brian's family. Paul and Caroline took us all out to dinner and we thought it would be the perfect opportunity. We had it on her under her jacket, and after our drinks came, Brian took her jacket off and everyone was surprised!

The cupcake is how we told my family about the baby. I made cupcakes and put little plastic babies inside...Brian said they had his hair. I got this idea from Brian's cousin, Mindy, whose sister-in-law did it to their family. Anyway it was funny because my nephew, Carter was the first to find it and he thought he won a prize, and then my brother-in-law Brandyn thought it was an April's Fools' joke!! But everyone was excited for us when we told them, they were in the cupcakes because we were going to have a baby!

The big Due Date is October 22nd!

Tag 5-5-5

Thanks for the tag, Mindy...Slow but sure :)

Rules: Go to the documents setting/my pictures on your computer
Choose your 5th file
Choose your 5th picture Blog about it...tag 5 people

Ok, but I decided to change the Tag to 5-5-5, it sounded nicer than 6-6-6.

But I still tagged 6 friends.

This was my picture! Wasn't Brinley an adorable kangaroo? This was Halloween 2007 before Brinley could even walk...maybe the kangaroo costume was a precursor of things to come!! Brinley certainly bounces off the walls sometimes!

Happy 2nd Brithday Brinley!!

Brinley turned 2 years old yesterday! We had a birthday party for her on Sunday-with a jungle theme we thought it was appropriate for our little monkey! She was so excited about her presents and that everyone came to see her. We can't believe she is already a toddler!! Thanks to all our family who helped us celebrate! We took Brin swimming on her birthday with her cousins Maryn and Carter and Uncle Brandyn and Aunt Manda. She loved every minute and got to wear her new swim suit from Aunt Jackie and Uncle Matt.

Happy New Year!

Brinley went to the Treehouse on New Year's Eve and made this cutest party hat! She stayed up until almost 1:00 AM that night, she is a night owl that's for sure. We had a Sugar Bowl Party at our house on January 2, 2009. Go Utes! Brinley got this adorable Utah shirt for Christmas...I think her Daddy was more excited about it than she was :) We discovered a couple weeks later that Brinley has a future as a drummer in a rock band! We had a Young Men activity at our house and the boys brought Wii and Guitar Hero. We could not keep Brin away from that drum set! She got a better score than I did!

Christmas 2008

Brinley was not so sure about Santa, but accepted the candy cane, of course! She was so excited for all the treats in her stocking on Christmas morning that we had to convince her that she wanted to open her presents!

Fun Pictures

At least I updated before February

Ok, so I have been at this for 2 hours, and I think my pics are all messed up because I keep changing templates!! Ahh, Brian says I have to stop for today because I get too frustrated with computers. Oh well, I hope you enjoy the new pictures...or what you can see of them today.
