Farewell First Trimester

It has been an exciting week for my family! Thursday marked the end of my first trimester. Little Baby Doty is doing great and growing quickly:) I have not yet had to wear maternity clothes, although I was given a super comfortable pair of maternity jeans that I wore just for fun the other day. Elastic waist bands are amazing.
In other news, my sister and her husband had their twin boys yesterday morning! Andrew was born at 9:00 am weighing in at 5 lb 12 oz and 19 in long. Chase came just two minutes later weighing 6 lb 4 oz and is also 19 in long. They are too precious for words. They look like two little old men with receding hair lines. My sister is a baby making machine. She only pushed 3 times and got two kids. What a woman. I am praying that our delivery will go that smoothly.
If you're wondering why I haven't updated my blog in weeks, it is because I have simply been too tired to do anything except eat and sleep after I get home. I haven't been really sick, a little nausea, but nothing too bad. My biggest problem is extreme fatigue. I haven't felt like eating much and I just seem to hit a wall at about 8:30 every night. My husband is usually left to clean up the kitchen and try and make sure I brush my teeth before I'm down for the count:)
Our house if for sale, so everything always has to be clean and straight before we leave to go anywhere, so that has kept us busy and been a little difficult. I never thought that being able to leave a cup in the sink when you are rushing out the door was a luxury. Pray for the Lord's timing on our house selling. We know that it will happen when God says go, but we are hoping that it's sooner rather than later. My friend, Meagan, is going to keep the baby in August when I go back to school, so we would really like to be able to move before the baby is born. God's timing is perfect and we will wait on Him, no matter how crazy it makes us:)
Here's a picture of my sister and I on Tuesday just to give you an idea of how big her belly got with the boys. I can't brag about my little bump next to her mountain!

Holy Crap that was a big belly! Andrew & Chase have a lot of explaining to do!
