We've Got Ultrasound Pics!!!



Good Evening everyone!!!
Say hello to Our Two Cents!!! (Sorry if you are offended by the Adult Content in Baby B's picture) It was confirmed at the doctors office today that Leanne and I are officially having two boys. We could not be more excited. The doctors also confirmed that the both babies are in perfect health and are exactly where they should be as far as their growth and organ sizes. We have gotten plenty of well wishes and congratulations from everyone which we would like to thank you for, they all mean more than you will ever know! Although I was unable to attend the doctors appointment today, Leanne called me as soon as she got out to give me the great news. Although the two of us had another one of our busy days, the best part was when we got to sit down together in the evening and watch the DVD from the unltrasound that our doctor gave us and look at the still pictures as well. I have to admit its kind of nice to get to watch the DVD and get that experience when I am unable to attend. Unfortunately, I have not been able to make it to any of the doctors appointments since school started as I am saving all of my sick time for when the babies arrive. As a new teacher I don't get too much personal time so I am saving it all up for when it will be most important use.
Thanks again for checking in and I will keep posting occasionally to let everyone know whats going on with our pregnancy and whatever else is going on in our lives.

Approaching 18 Weeks Already!

So I (Devin) have decided to post a first real blog on our new site. This should be pretty interesting to say the least...
Leanne goes in on Wednesday to the doctor to get the official confirmation as to whether we are having a boy and a girl, or two boys. Either way we will be thrilled! The fact that we are having twins is where the title of our blog "Our Two Cents" came from (Thanks Sommer!).
This Friday we will officially be 18 weeks along as well and seeing as how the doctor has already determined that due to Leannes conditions, she will not have the babies any later than 36 weeks, that means that we are half way there! YIKES!
As exciting as it though, it is equally nerve racking. I haven't even started to clean out the babies room yet to start to make room for the baby stuff to come (I did promise that I would start this coming weekend though). The best preparation that Leanne and I have right now are our jobs! I would with 650+ elementary children every week as the PE Teacher at Lomie Heard Elementary School and Leanne works for the City of Las Vegas as a Safe Key site leader at Richard Bryan Elementary School. Although she doesn't get to encounter as many students every week as I do, it seems as though she still gets the ones that help you learn what good parenting does and what poor parenting does to a child. This will benefit us GREATLY once the time finally comes and we have our own decisions to make.
So with us being pregnant, my teaching, and Leannes safe key job you would think that we have our hands full, but of course I have to be an overachiever as well so I also am an assistant football coach at Palo Verde High School (Currently #95 in the US of A), work on-call as a valet at the New York-New York Hotel and Casino and am training to run in the Las Vegas Rock-n-Roll Marathon on December 6th for my brother Blake. I figure keeping myself busy now will only prepare me for the lack of sleep and energy needed to be able to keep up with the twinsies once they are here.
I also wanted to thank my brother Chase and his wifey Sommer for coming into town this weekend and bringing my only niece, Violet. Its always exciting to see them and see how quickly a child grows and how much potential they have in life. We love you guys and can't wait to see you guys again soon.
By the way, Blake, we are NOT taking in another one of your puppies, the spazzmatic Phoebe that we got is MORE than enough, we love her to tears but I do believe that Leanne and I would have a nervous breakdown if we got another puppy to go along with our poor little blind Lucy!
Well, I believe I have rambled on long enough, check back later for new blogs and updates pertaining to us, our pregnancy, our family, and our world :O)

First Time Blog

Hello all! So for those of you who are unaware, Leanne and I are expecting twins in 2010!!! With that news I decided to create this blog to not only document all of the events and news that come during the pregnancy, but to also document what else is going on in our lives.
