On Saturday a group of us went downtown to see "the flood". It was pretty amazing! Water covered everything! We did this for an early mothers day and for Katie's birthday! She's 30 and still looks 22!! I am so lucky to have her as a sister-in-law! After our day downtown our BFF's Chris and Jen tied the knot! Everything was beautiful!!
My first Mothers Day started off wonderful! My husband got me a card and a nail gift certificate!! Even though he tried to argue with me the day before saying it did not count this year. Guess he is a keeper! Mom and I spent the day out shopping! Couldn't have asked for a better day!
We have a pretty busy week! Thursday we go to the Dr. for a check up! This will be 30 weeks!! Crazy!! I just can't believe it has flown by this fast! Friday we go for our 2nd 3D/4D ultra sound! Lets hope Piper acts good this time! We would like some good pictures of our pretty girl! Hopefully this time we will be able to see her face and see who she looks like!
Tomorrow is a huge step for our entire family! Bib will be having surgery tomorrow! She has been diagnosed with NPH (Normal Pressure Hydrocephalus) NPH is an accumulation of cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) causing the ventricles of the brain to enlarge, in turn, stretching the nerve tissue of the brain causing a triad of symptoms. (human terms- Fluid on the Brain) The best way to fix this is by placing a shunt in her head! So that is what we will be doing tomorrow! We would appreciate any and all prayers! We love our Bib and want her to live the best life possible! Hopefully this will make that possible!
I will post tomorrow when she goes into surgery and when she gets out!
Thanks for all the prayers!

Registering!!
Anyone who says registering is fun, is on CRACK!! Luckily my mom went with me for the first round! We headed to Babies R Us! 2 and 1/2 hours later we felt like we were done! We realized we left off sheets, and other bedding stuff but we were so tired we did not care!
Next came round 2!! This time Randy came along! Target is much smaller, so it only lasted an hour!! I'm not 100% sure what is all on there because Randy had the gun!! I actually may need to look into that!
My next business venture is a person who will register for you! If they could have done all the necessities, then I could have done all the cute stuff online!
I am 24 weeks today!! Only 16 more to go!! It is crazy how my mind races thinking about what things will be like when Piper gets here! I wonder what or who she is going to look like!! It's just so crazy to think about! I get more and more excited as the days pass by!!
Oh yeah, my BFF at work got engaged yesterday!! Jenna Sanders will soon be Jenna Collie!! I am so excited for her!!

From the Beginning!
Sadly, I can't remember the exact date I found out I was pregnant. I guess it was such a shock I did not think it was for real. I do remember on December 10, 2010 Randy and I went for our first Dr. visit!! That was the day I knew my life was going to change! We found out we were 8 weeks pregnant with TWINS!! It was the most amazing feeling in the world! (Not to say we were not scared to DEATH) Everything was going great (except the all day sickness)!
Next check-up was January 7, 2011. After another ultra sound, we were dealt the worst news of our lives!! Baby A did not make it. I can honestly say this was the hardest thing I have ever had to go through. Not only me, but everyone close to me was hurt!
After a few more visits we were finally convinced everything was GREAT with Baby B!!
The fun all began on February 16th. Randy and I went to the Dr. to find out the sex of the baby! We had planned a revealment party for that Saturday. The nurse put the sex in an envelope and we took it to the bakery. They made the coolest cake for the party! We had over 60 people come to the party, needless to say the house was packed!! Everything was pink and blue! Even the clothes, people wore the color of their vote! We ate hamburgers (girl) and hotdogs (boy). After the food it was time to cut the cake and find out if we were going to have a "Daddy's Girl" or a "Momma's Boy"!
As we all know Piper Sutton Alberson will be joining us around July 22nd. We couldn't be any more excited to become parents! All we have been through in the last 5 months has really made us stronger! I do feel things happen for a reason, but I question why it had to happen to me! There is not a day that goes by that we don't think of our sweet "Angel". As my pregnancy continues I know "Angel" will continue to come to my mind, but I know I am carrying one of GOD's most precious gifts! (Sometimes that still does not take the pain away)

It will most likely be a crazy, wild ride!! If you know Randy and I then you know how crazy our lives already are! We are super excited for Piper to get here!
