Lily's Reaction

Mommy: Did you know there are two babies in Mommy's tummy?
Lily: We're gonna to need another crib.

I love that my daughter is already so practical! ha!

From the Mayer Two....

to the Mayer Four. Yes, the rumors are true. We are having twins!!!!!!! Shocked are you? Probably, not as shocked and thrilled as Tyler and I. We went to our first appointment and had an ultrasound to confirm how far along we are. Honestly, I kinda felt like a pro. Third time doing this...no big deal. I'm just comfortably laying down and Tyler had just finished messing with his blackberry. Usually, they don't show the mom screen right away. The ultrasound lady does some measurements and stuff and then they turn the screen so I can see it. Tyler can see the screen the whole time from his chair. The ultrasound lady says to Tyler, "Do you see what I see?" I think Tyler just fumbled some words. Then she says, "There are definitely two babies in there!." Tears and laughter were my immediate emotions from me. Honestly, I don't even remember Tyler's reaction because everything became a little hazy. She showed me the ultrasound it was clearly two little babes in there. One measured at 9 weeks and the other and 9 weeks and 1 day. There heart beats were great and we could even see the little guys or gals moving around. So we will have 4 under the age of 3 1/2. YIKES! We've had enough surprises in the Mayer house so sometime in January we will find out if they are girls, boys, or boy and girl. Tyler already has all the names figured out! We are due June 15th. Yes, 10 days before my brother's wedding! EEK!

Did you think I had left the blogging world forever? It had been so long because I have literally had zero energy. This time around I haven't been as sick, though! I can eat food, which was a struggle in the beginning with both Lily and Bridget. I already have a little stomach, too. We can't wait to meet them and are also thankful we bought a minivan. :)

Mary Poppins

Nana got Lily Mary Poppin's tickets for her birthday. Lily was so excited to wear her fancy dress. We all went out to dinner and Lily loved sipping on her Shirley Temple. We had a little extra time to kill so we told Lily we were going to order dessert. She did NOT wanted to dessert and wanted to go see Mary Poppins! When the play finally started, she was literally sitting on the edge of her seat. She would clap really hard. It was an AMAZING play. Mary flew and Bert danced on the ceiling.

Twins!

I love dressing the girls in the same outfit. Be certain that there will be many more pictures like this! They'll hate me when they're older! ha!

Bridget's Turns 1!

Another 1st Birthday! I can barely believe it. Bridget had a blast at her party, just watching all the people. She wasn't quite too sure about the birthday cake.

She decides she doesn't like it at all.

Well, maybe it's ok!

We even had a pinata. Can you see the huge bounce house in the background?

Yes, Tyler rented a bounce house. The kids absolutely loved it. We had about 15 kids under the age of 7...yikes! Bridge would just giggled watching them all jump. From time to time the air would stop blowing, so it would start to deflate and kids would just start flying out of it. It was kinda funny to watch! I'm pretty sure Lily thought the party was for her.

The birthday girl!

Happy Birthday Bridget! We love you!

Oh Lily...

Chatard has a group called SERV (Students Encouraging Religious Vocations). Yesterday, there was an all school Mass for priests, brothers, and sisters in our area. After Mass we held a small reception and I was in charge of the food. I picked up Dunkin Donuts on the way to school and let Lily nibble (or devour) one. She helped me bring them into the building and here is the conversation we had.

Lily: "Mom, why are you bringing in our donuts?"
Me: "Because they are for the priests."
Lily: "Mom, tell those priests NOT TO EAT ALL MY DONUTS."

ha! What a nut!

To Chicago We Go

From South Bend we went to go see GG, Bamma, and Papa. We had a relaxing and fun weekend with them.

Bridge and GG.

Bamma and Papa got the girls a playhouse for their birthday. They LOVE it. I'll get pics and post them soon.
