Well this is my first pregnancy post! Now that everybody knows the big news I want to share my experience with everyone.
Let's go all the way back to August, back when I knew I was pregnant. I was on my school camping when the slight morning sickness and frequent bathroom trips started. I spent the majority of my time eating and using the bathroom. And other then my missed period I knew something was up. When I came back from my trip I took a pregnancy test, and I didn't get any results back so I bought another one and this time it was positive!
Turns out I was 5 weeks along. I found out on August 25th, just one day before Tyrel's birthday. I was going to wait and and tell him on his birthday the next day, but I couldn't hold it in. I was around 7 or 8 weeks when I started telling my family. I wanted to do something creative so I made this sign:
Needless to say everybody was really excited for me. We told Tyrel's granny and she cried and when we went to visit Opa, we even got teary eyed. I had your typical morning sickness. No throwing up luckily, just really nauseous and really had to force myself to eat breakfast every morning. Of course I'm pretty good about keeping puking under control because I have this really weird fear of throwing up. Everything seemed to be going fine, until one morning I woke up bleeding. I didn't freak out or anything, I've been told it's perfectly normal to spot and bleed as your uterus grows and stretches, but I called my doctor just to make sure. She scheduled a last minute ultra sound to make sure everything was ok. Because it was last minute Tyrel wasn't able to come because he had to work. Well I really wish he would have been able to come with me because that's when I found out I was pregnant with twins!! I was 12 weeks when I found this out. Needless to say I was in shock for awhile and then the tears came. All I could think about was double everything! Double the clothes, double the diapers, double the food, and double the money! We would have been fine with just one, but now there are two!
The shock has started to wear off and I'm starting to get excited again. My morning sickness has gone and my appetite is slowly starting to come back. Now if we could just get this house buying process going, everything would be good!
Happy Halloween!!
How far along? 15 weeks
Total weight gain/loss: Since becoming pregnant I've lost 15 pounds
Maternity clothes? I still fit in my regular clothes. My mom took my shopping and bought some maternity clothes for me that I like to wear sometimes because they are super comfortable
Best moment this week: Making my pregnancy official
Miss Anything? Alcohol... There is a bottle of wine and half a bottle of rum in my fridge just taunting me :/
Movement: None yet
Food cravings: Chocolate milk, or any kind of milk really. And Salad
Anything making you queasy or sick: Any type of lunch meat. Last time I ate it, I spent the next day puking
Have you started to show yet: Hard to tell. Most of it is still bell fat
Gender prediction: One boy and one girl
Labor Signs: Some mild cramping
Belly Button in or out? in
Happy or Moody most of the time: Happy most of the time. However I do have my moments of snapping at Tyrel for no reason and breaking down in tears for no reason
Looking forward to: My bell fat turning into a baby bump ;)

Pumkin Carvings!
Every year Tyrel and I look forward to carving multiple pumpkins, and we tend to go a little crazy with it. People are always curious about how they end up looking so good and the biggest thing is practice. It takes time and patience to carve a nice pumpkin so it's important not to rush into things.
Step 1: scrap out all the guts and seeds out
Step 2: scrap the side of the pumpkin your carving is going on. The thinner the better
Step 3: Poke holes. We prefer smaller holes and use a push pin. That way the holes aren't as noticeable after you carve them out
Step 4: Start carving! The trick is to start from the inside and work your way out. This may seem like a lot of effect but it will be so worth it and you will come out with this amazing pumpkin carving afterwards!

A weekend at Opa's house
We spent the weekend in Azalea, OR visiting Tyrel's grandpa, and aunt and uncle. It's a small town in southern Oregon, out in the country. It's really beautiful there and I really loved the falls colors that were everywhere. It was also so quiet and dark at night. I always enjoy visiting there. Opa lives on a big property next to a creek so we enjoyed a nice fall walk
Before we left, his aunt took some pictures of us. Knowing Tyrel, it took a couple of shots to get a one. Such a dork but I do love him :)

Birthday beach trip!
We spent Saturday night in Lincoln City. We wanted to try something different and decided to do some yurt camping. I booked it months ago, like in February, and we were lucky to find one that was available. We started in Newport and walked along the bay front and had dinner at our favorite restaurant, Rouge brewery. We were even able to to successfully walk along the beach and not burn our feet!

Love my Beavers!
Spent Saturday night watching football with my family. I have to admit I wasn't really into it the first half but I'm glad I stuck with it!

Shrewsbury!
This is the year Tyrel and I felt really unpaired for the renaissance fair. I forgot the camera, and parts of my costume. And Tyrel has been so busy with work and school he didn't get to work on his costume at all. But even though we came unprepared and Shrewsbury snuck up on us we still had a lot of fun. And it didn't matter that I didn't bring the camera because we didn't get much of a chance to wander anyway because we were busy working in the booth. The fair was busier then usual and we were so busy we sold out of stuff on both days!
Enjoy the pictures. Until next year

| Not too impressed with my costume this year |
| She was out there for two days and still got no rum |
| One of our own was thrown in "jail" |
| The cow was found in a tree so they put it in jail for practicing witch craft and flying with a license |
