IT'S 2 GIRLS!

We found out today that the twins are both girls. My mommy intuition was totally wrong! Aaron is on cloud 9 and I am pretty sure the entire building heard him scream with joy when the lady said it was both girls. I told her to check it again, and it is for sure girls. Oh man, I need to start saving now. Aaron was even walking up to random people at the Drs. office telling them. HA!

Here are some pictures of the furniture getting put together and then the last 2 are the 3D pictures of the girls faces.

All done!

Halloween weekend!

My bubba came home this weekend! I was so excited to see him; it's been since the beginning of Spetember since I saw him. Way to long. I have had lots of requests from my aunts to see a belly picture, so this is as good as it's going to get. I refuse to do a solo shot.

We find out in 10 days (November 9) what are little ones will be. Will my mommy intuition be right or wrong? I still think it is 2 boys, but who knows. We are super excited and anxiousx to know what they are and give these 2 a name and a bedroom.

Love to all!

Aaron and Erin

We're 15 weeks!

All of these pictures of the babies were taken at my Nuchal screen test appt. when the babies were only 12 weeks. Everything came back fine and the twins don't have down's. We will find out more health information on them at our 19 week appt.

The TWINS!!!

Baby B finally staying still to get a good picture

Baby B is going to be our wild one!

And who could forget the other babies in the house. They have no clue what is about to happen.
This is there big brother and big sister picture for the babies! :)


It's been a while since I updated anything on here. School and work has been busy and I have not gotten a chance to sit down and update until now. Also, Amy motivated me to get on top of things when she updated hers. Thank goodness I have her to help remind me to do things.
We are super excited for Amy and Ryan who found out this past week that they are having a boy! Weston Michael will be adding to our crew of blue with our group of friends. The Nance twins are going to have lots of playmates, especially Weston who is only going to be a few weeks older than them.
I still have a gut feeling that our two are boys as well, but we will find out for sure on November 9!
Aaron and I would like the ultra sound to show it is one boy and one girl, but I just don't think that will be the case. Apparently my circle of best friends can only create boys. Ha!
Everything is going great with all of us from the grandparents down to the dogs. We are all very anxious to know the sex of the babies and ready to shop. I have been looking at different bedding ideas, and can't seem to decide what I want for a room. I am hoping when we hear what they are, I will have a better idea of what to do.
I will try my best to update the blog more, but I will be honest, it may not be until Thanksgiving break. But I will try my best to put something up November 9.
Josh will be home to visit in 2 weekends and I can't wait. It's crazy how much I miss that kid. I sent him a picture the other day, because he was asking me if I was getting big. His response "Holy *!! I've been gone that long" and "I didn't realize you'd be that big already..." Hmm... I guess honesty makes you tougher. Ha, I wonder what he will say at Christmas break???
Lots of love to all!

They're getting big!!!

Baby A was sleeping at 10 week appointment, so here he/she is at 9 weeks. This is my chill baby I think....

Everything is going well with the babies. We had a small scare at week 8 with bleeding, but all is well with the babies. I am now 11 weeks, but Sunday will make 12 weeks!!! Although the nauseousness has died down and comes very little, I still have my moments. I am hoping this goes away soon. Monday night, my back starting hurting and last night the hips and the wonderful ligament pain is being felt more frequently. I asked Liz this morning why she didn't warn me about all these awkward feelings. She informed me the best is yet to come, which I figured as I get bigger I will feel a lot more interesting things. I still have not told my students and parents that I am pregnant, but I think some parents have already heard rumors and are starting to figure it all out. I go for the Nuchal test next Thursday to check chromosomes and what not. Fingers are crossed that they are both perfectly healthy.
I still can not believe how our dream of becoming parents is finally coming true. The pain, nauseousness, and pot belly that I have now are so worth it. I may be a little whiny, but I thank God every day for blessing us with not one, but two little ones. I can't wait until they are here. I want to meet them!
We will find out their sex on November 9! I think that it is 2 boys for some reason, but Aaron is still holding out that he will get a little girl. I think if we have a girl, we are in BIG trouble. The clothes, bows, and shoes.... oh man. We will see soon though!
I will try to be better about updating, but with work and school in full swing it makes finding time to sit down a little tough.

Apparently being pregnant is the new trend. At work there are 7 of us that are pregnant, which is crazy. We are all due in February, March, and April. It's a good thing we all don't teach the same grade level! Then out of our close friends, Emily is due February 26, Amy is due March 4, we are due April 8 (even though Drs say they will come probably in March), and Lindsay is due the beginning of May. I am seeing a lot of weekends full of baby showers in my future. ; ) So AMAZING!

Love to all!
Aaron and Erin

Bittersweet...

Josh is in college!
This past weekend, my parents, Aaron, and myself moved Josh into his dorm (mini apartment) at University of Alabama in Tuscaloosa. My parents, Josh, and Aaron left Thursday morning and I flew up Friday after Meet the Teacher at school. Although it was a little busy and hectic, it was still a great weekend. Of course, I boo hooed when I said good-bye to my baby brother, then of course mom cried. We made it home though with dry eyes and so far Josh says that he is loving it there. He has some nice boys as roommates and 2 of the 3 are from Texas. One even went to Clear Springs HS which is down the street from Aaron and I.
I am SO proud of Josh for taking such a big leap and going so far. I know he is going to do great. I took a few pictures to share with everyone.

So crazy to believe he is in college!

The family

And my favorite picture of all.
I love you bubba!

Make way... Were bringing 2 more Nance's in the world to play!

Aaron and I went to Dr. Dunn yesterday afternoon and got to see our babies. Yes! I said babies... We are overjoyed to announce that we are expecting TWINS! If you look at the picture you can see baby A on the right and baby B on the left. We also got to see and hear the heart beats. So AMAZING! I still remember hearing baby Graham's heart beat several months ago and thought it was so wonderful. Now that we heard our 2 sweet babies heart beats, I cannot describe the feelings I had. Of course, I lost it on the table and started crying like crazy, but they were tears of happiness. We are still a little in shock, but something told me all along that I would see 2. I truly believe that this is such a miracle and dream come true. I can't believe that this is all happening, but I can not wait for those restless nights when we will have our babies in our arms.
Dr. Dunn said everything is looking wonderful and even gave us some interesting percentages. He said that the chance right now of not carrying both to full term is less than 10%, and in 2 weeks when I go back, the percentage goes down to less than 3%! : ) I am considered high risk because of us doing the IVF process, and now even more so because there is 2. He didn't seem too concerned though because he said I am young and healthy and everything else has gone so smooth. I tell you what, my girlfriend called Dr. Dunn "the baby whisperer", and I agree. What an amazing doctor, and he has been wonderful since the first day we stepped foot in his office. If you need his number or want his number, let me know! Ha!
Finally the other big news he gave us. He told us if there was 1 little baby in there, our due date would be April 8. BUT since there are 2 babies, he said expect them to arrive beginning of March! Because there are 2, they will most likely come earlier, but if I make it to March, he said anytime after March 1 is great for 2! The exciting part of that is that one my best friends since 4th grade, Amy, is due March 4th! I called her yesterday and we are hoping our babies are born close together. They will be the best of friends...
Thank you for all of your love, support, and prayers. We are blessed to have such amazing people in our lives and overjoyed that everything has gone so well. I hope you're all ready to sign up for the first few months to help! HA totally kidding... well sort of...
I have to add one last thing. We have always gotten asked if we are naming our child Aaron or Erin also. Of course the answer is NO, but my girlfriend Amber asked me yesterday... "How are you going to find 2 more ways to spell Erin/Aaron?" Ha ha! I thought it was cute and funny. : )
Lots of Love to all,
Aaron and Erin + 2!

Dreams do come true!

WE'RE PREGNANT! After the long wait, the nurse called a short bit ago and said that my blood work showed that we're expecting! I go back Wednesday to get more blood work done and then we will find out how many we are having in 2 weeks. The nurse said that I am about 4 weeks. I know it seems early to be announcing, but after the IVF process we are just thankful we got to this point. Please continue to pray for everything to go well. Thank you for all of your love and support, we are super excited and couldn't have done it without all of you!

Miracles do happen and dreams do come true! God has finally answered our prayers!!!
