We're Seeing Double!!!

AAaaahhhh!!! Ok, so Hayden and I got the SHOCK of our lives yesterday! We went in for our first ultrasound. It was the 20 week ultrasound to measure things, make sure the baby is alright and of course find out the gender! I was sitting there with the warm jelly and machine on my stomach when the ultrasound technician flipped it on and up on the screen popped this image that I thought looked a little odd. It appeared that there were two bodies...I thought that to myself and of course pushed that thought right out when she asked, "Do twins run in your family?" Hayden and I both shouted no and then she said, "There's two! There's two babies!" I will never forget that feeling. it was honestly just complete shock and bewilderment. I couldn't believe it. I kept asking the nurse over and over if she was kidding but the evidence was right in my face!! Hayden was crying and pacing around and we both just kept looking at each other, shaking our heads and laughing. We will never forget that day! The next 20 minutes she spent looking at each baby separately and measuring them. One of the first things I thought when she told us we had twins was that I didn't want 2 girls, no offense to anyone who has twin girls, I have just always said that if I had twins I would want a boy and a girl. Baby A is the baby that is closest to the cervix, or exit. It is the baby that will be delivered first. Baby A is a boy! We were both so excited when she said it was a boy! And even more happy when we saw that baby B was a girl. It was/is a dream come true! Baby A is right on track with measurements and baby b is about 5 days behind, she's a little smaller which it is normal for girls to be smaller than boys. So yeah, that was that! We had to switch from midwives to doctors and have an ultrasound every month and prepare for an early delivery and possible c-section and all the other fun stuff and risks that come with carrying twins! We are truly truly so excited though and feel so blessed (and maybe worried) that Heavenly Father trusts us with twins!!! We still can't believe it. I probably won't believe it until they are both in my arms! Our little boy is going to be Beckham Mark Gurman and the girl is Ellery Michelle Gurman. they are both family names. Beck and Elle. How precious. We couldn't be happier.











This is Hayden and Mike Dame. Hayden and mike have been best friends since I don't know when, let's just say a very long time. They have been through it all together. I have also known Mike since I was about 11! Yikes! Mike (thank heavens!) is the reason Hayden moved out to Utah in the first place! Mike got Hayden and I involved with Summer sales. He was the manager our first Summer in Nashville. This past Summer Mike sold security while Hayden and I opted to try out pest control. Mike and Hayden are now co-managing their office this Summer for Ecosure Pest Control! We are all very excited. Hayden and Mike work very well together and also have a lot of fun! Their office is going to be amazing and I am actually excited for the Summer.

Thanksgiving in Sunny AZ!



Me, Hayden, Brian and my parents all made it down to warm Arizona for Thanksgiving! My dad was able to get us all buddy passes to fly down there and it was SO nice! We stayed with Jodi and Chris in their LOVELY house. It was such a fun trip! We played a lot of disc golf (well the guys did... us girls just watched them), went to The Blind Side (Amazing!), ate a TON of food, talked, laughed, played games, watched football and just enjoyed each other's company. The weather was gorgeous down there! We also went to the Mesa temple lights, which were so beautiful.

ACE BABY!!


Ok, so on November 24, 2009 a groundbreaking event took place. My Hayden Gurman got a ace playing disc golf! So you may be wondering what this is, well it is actually a VERY big deal and HUGE accomplishment! From about 240 feet Hayden threw his disc and made it in ONE shot straight into the basket!!! Aces happen very rarely in disc golf and usually take years. Hayden has been playing for about 8 months, which makes his ace even more spectacular. Chris, my brother-in-law, was the only witness to the awe inspiring event. He has been quoted as saying he got goose bumps. Needless to say, I was very sad and disappointed I wasn't there to see it, but I will make sure I'm there for the next one! God job love!!

Mom and Dad came to town


The weekend before Thanksgiving my parents came out to Utah! I'm sad to say it was for a funeral, but it was so good to see them and be with family. The funeral was actually really good. The spirit was so so strong and we all had a good experience.

Fun with family in the fall!

Julie, Tucker and their precious girls came to Provo! We got to hang out with them and had so much fun! Every 2 years there is a Cheyenne, WY reunion party so we attended that Sat night. It was fun to see old friends and be with family. My nieces are seriously so adorable and we're so glad we got to see them!
