At the end of January I was found out I was pregnant! Later that day, since we had been trying, I asked Nick if he would would want to know right away when I got pregnant or if he would want me to wait until after my first appointment. He responded that I wouldn't be able to keep it a secret so his answer was moot. Well...challenge excepted. The day of my first appointment came and by this time he had a very large suspicion but I hadn't said anything. Since I had previously had a miscarriage they wanted me to come in early at six weeks to help "calm my nerves." The appointment did anything but and I was by myself because I was trying to keep it a secret. During the ultrasound the midwife found two sacs, meaning I could be having twins! She couldn't be sure though because it was so early and told me that they would setup another ultrasound soon to determine if there was actually only one baby or two. As soon as I got home I told Nick and we panicked together.
A few weeks later I finally had my appointment where it was determined that two eggs had been fertilized but only one had developed, so just one baby. By this point we had prepared to be excited for either option, but we were definitely relieved it was only one.
8 week ultrasound
My pregnancy has been pretty normal besides the crazy beginning. I was sick for awhile but that has past so now it's mostly trying to figure out a comfortable way to sleep with the growing belly. In the beginning of this month we where able to find out if we were having a boy or a girl. Everyone in the house was hoping for pink and Sienna even told me, as well as anyone who asked, that if it was a boy she was "so going to cry!" Well, it was good news for everyone when we found out that Sienna would be getting a little sister!
18 week ultrasound
So far Shelby and Sienna have been pretty similar in there stubbornness. Both have hated people messing with them ( moving away from the Doppler and kicking at the ultrasound.) I feel Shelby much more and earlier but I'm not sure if it's because she's moving more or if I just recognize it because I have felt it before. We are very excited for her arrival in early October !

Congrats sister!!!
I followed your facebook link to read about your wonderful news and I'm so happy for you!!! I hope you are enjoying Boise. :) I am always thinking of you guys because I've been trying to convince Christian that we should move to Boise, because to me it has the potential to be the happy medium between California and Wyoming, culturally speaking, as well as weather-wise, perhaps... anyway, and then I think, "we would at least know one family, the Hudsons!" And then I think of you guys and wish you well. :)
Joanne Welch, if you couldn't tell!
