Elyse: You're probably wondering, "Hey, what's the BIG idea? Where have those crazy twins been?" Well, we've been holding down the fort, keeping a big secret, and helping take care of Mommy. 
Felicity: Because you see, our Mommy has been extremely sick lately and she wanted us to tell you the big news: We're going to be big sisters! (Elyse: well, I'm actually going to be a big sister for the second time as I am a whole 14 min. older than Felicity!). Can you believe it? It was a big surprise to all of us, but we haven't been doing much celebrating because Mommy has this awful condition called hyperemesis gravidarum which makes her just so so sick.

Mommy has been in the hospital multiple times, has home nursing care, and now has a PICC line with TPN (which means she gets all of her nutrition through a central line into a main artery). It's been a rough road for all of us, but we're a resilient clan!We decided to document one of our visits to the hospital so you could see we're still our crazy little selves!! We hate when Mommy has to go to the hospital and we're happy she can at least be at home with her nursing service now.
Thankfully we have an amazing daddy who plays with us lots while Mommy's in bed!
This curtain thing was so fun to play with and hide behind. Who says a hospital has to be boring?!
This room had a great view and we could see for miles!
We took every opportunity to climb, jump, and make this crazy place fun for Mommy!
That's it folks! We hope you've enjoyed our update and we want you to know we sure have missed you! Hopefully Mommy will start to feel better soon (although the docs aren't very hopeful), but until then, we'll be sure to take good care of her!
For those of you who want to know the details, here they are: Mommy is 11 1/2 weeks along, is due in early Oct, and is pregnant with one baby. If you'd like to learn more about her condition and how it differs from morning sickness, click here. And if you're wondering who is taking care of us, we now have full-time nanny help. Thanks for your thoughts and prayers during this difficult time!

Oh my goodness you poor thing! Sending you lots of love and prayers. Hope you feel better soon and that your little peanut grows big and strong.
We love you!
Well, I'll say Congratulations first! Then, I am so sorry you have been this sick! I am sure you will have two wonderful big sisters in Elyse and Felicity!
AMY...my gosh! I was wondering if your lack of posting was because your eggo was preggo...(Juno reference anyone??) CONGRATS!! But wow, I'm so sorry you are so sick. We're sending lots of prayers and love your way!! The girls are as cute as ever!
First of all, congratulations on your growing family...what awesome big sisters the girls will be! I'm sorry to hear you are so sick, though. I had a friend who experienced the same thing you are going through and it was not fun (definitely, a huge understatement). I will be praying for your whole family as you go through your pregnancy. Hang in there!
I heard from Ash how sick you've been, and wanted you to know I'm praying for you and hope that it does start to improve over the next several weeks! Glad you've been able to get a nanny to help out with the girls!
I was wondering if we would be hearing wonderful news of another sweet baby! Hang in there--I can only imagine--I'm SO glad that you have some help! We love you and are praying for all of you!
