Welcome to our blog!

So, I finally did it! I had been talking about making one for a few weeks now, so here we are! My cousins (SIssy and Bec) were my driving force behind making one, although I don't think I will be able to "blog" half as well as they do!

I had many reasons for starting one. First, Erik and I live on the other side of the world it seems than our friends and family. This makes it hard to keep in touch with everyone back home and let you all know how we are doing out here in the middle of nowhere! The other reason has to do with our most recent news: WE ARE HAVING TWINS!

I am sure by now that everyone knows that good news, but in case we haven't gotten around to telling you yet, we found out right around my birthday that I was pregnant, much to our surprise! And then the morning before our wedding reception in D.C., we found we were having twins! WOW! So, it made for a very fun party that night...

Since then, I have just been eating a lot, trying to exercise, and just growing and growing in my tummy area! I finally had a doctor's appointment over at the base hospital and he did another ultrasound and we saw the two little hearbeats! Crazy! I have another appointment next week and soon after that appointment, I will have the extensive ultrasound, where we could possibly find out what these two little babies are, boys or girl, or hopefully, one of each!

More later!
