The countdown begins...


Hello family and friends! We decided to create this space in an effort to document our growing family with our scattered loved ones. Despite my ever discomfort these days, we have had a very blessed winter.

Upon returning from our "babymoon" in Hawaii this past September to the news that we are having twins, things have been a bit of a blur as I grow and grow! Sis/Aunt Rachel and I were able to make it back to Wisconsin for her/Grandpa Braun/Cousin Tracy's birthdays. During that time, Grandma Carrie threw us a winter wonderland baby shower where we had a house full of my aunts, cousins, and fabric markers :)

Since being back in the desert we have had two showers thrown for us and the babes. The first by my work buddies where the clinic was covered in "Two Peas in a Pod" decorations and the second by Aunty Rachel and Grandma Cindy at our friends Dana and Tony's. The kiddos are already spoiled...Grandpa Al built them beautiful matching maple/cherry cribs and Grandma Cindy got them a BOB stroller for hittin' the town! We also have a full dresser of gifted onsies, gowns, blankets, and tees.

Remember to check back here for updates and pictures as we anxiously await the arrival of our little ones!
