19 week Ultrasound

Pics of Cassidy and Cambria from my 19 week ultrasound. They are situated in utero as if they were in bunk beds - both fairly horizontal, one on top, one on bottom. The ultrasound tech said they will not flip places - so Baby A will always be on the bottom and Baby B will be on the top. So my mother's intuition has determined that Cassidy is Baby A and Cambria is Baby B. Enjoy the first pictures of the Collister girls!!!

Love, Mommy

Girly Girls!!

We couldn't be happier to be expecting TWO LITTLE GIRLS!! We found out at 15 weeks and Jeremy nearly threw up. Yes, he's a little nervous but I told him it will all be ok as long as he starts stockpiling chocolate and a pedicure slush fund now. I can only imagine all the fun we are going to have and look forward to building a close mother-daughter relationship with both of them. My friends have started to give me hand me downs and I have spent several hours organizing everything into color coordinating "sets"! My mom and I will go shopping soon for the fabric for their bedding and then I will start to decorate their room. I'm going with a 60's flower power theme (shocking, I know) and am going to glam it up to my heart's content. TWO GIRLS!! Look out world, my children are no wallflowers!! These girls are gonna ROCK this world!!!

Peace, Love, and BABY GIRLS!!!

Mommy loves you girls

Hello my sweet baby girls,

Just thinking about how much I love and adore you and how precious you already are to me! I saw you both at your 19 week ultrasound last week. You bring me so much joy! Dancing and waving and pushing each other around...lovingly of course! You guys are blessed beyond measure, not only because of how much the Lord loves you, but because of how much you already love each other. You are sharing a "home" inside mommy's tummy, and you will share the lifelong gift of being sisters.

I love your auntie KK so much, and all my sisters, and I am so thrilled to know that you will have the same opportunity to develop that unbreakable bond that "CC and Kari" had and still have, and that Devin and Kelsey are learning to appreciate (they're currently teenagers and still fight, but they are slowly but surely realizing that there is no friend like a sissy!!). It took Auntie KK and I awhile to figure all of that out too - it's something you grow into. With us it seemed like between the ages of 15-20, the age gap between us (4 years) started to shrink, and we could relate to each other's experiences more and more until there really was no "age gap" anymore. You two will never have that gap, and I pray that I will do a good job of imparting the value of cherishing your sibling relationships to you at an early age. Your grandma Michelle used to tell us, "You stick to your sister like Elmers glue, do you hear me? She's the only one you've got!". Well that lesson stuck with us all right, and there is nothing we wouldn't do for each other including caring for one another's children if anything ever happened to the other. So I hope and pray that you two will enjoy a similar kind of love and loyalty. There is nothing that should ever come between you two that can't be resolved and forgiven.

I love you both dearly, and I look forward to seeing the love and admiration you will have for your big brother, Vannin, as I never had an older brother and don't know what that is like to have that protective, older sibling like you will have in him. I will teach you to honor and respect him and to do the same towards each other. He is a special light in this world, my first and only son, and I dont know what I have done to deserve him, let alone two more wonderful, shining lights in my life!!

I bless the work of God in both of you as you are growing and changing and preparing to grace the world with your wonderful selves. Look out world, here come my daughters!!!!

Peace, love, and sissies!!
