Well, I had an ultrasound yesterday. Allen is at sea, so when they checked the genders of the babies I covered my eyes, then Allen called me after the ultrasound so we could find out together. So...we are having a boy and a girl!
We are very excited. Allen is thrilled beyond belief that he is getting his boy. Alaina is super excited because Dora has twin siblings, a brother and a sister!
Allen gets to come home next week, and we will move into our new house and get settled and start preparing for our new little ones! Yay!

Update
Well it has been a crazy couple of months! As you all know now, I am pregnant with twins! They are due October 27 and hopefully next week we will find out what they are! Allen has been super busy on the ship, going to sea then coming home for only a couple of days before going back out. I have been staying at mom and dad's while he has his busy schedule, I have had pretty bad morning sickness so it has been great to have some help.
On May 3 Allen will officially detach from the ship!! That same day, the packers will go and pack up our house in Virginia, and by the end of the week Allen will be back in Illinois to stay. Alaina and I are very excited to be done with ship life, as I am sure Allen also is. We found a great house in Shiloh, just about 15 minutes from base. It is in a great location, Allen has a cousin in the area and I will have a great friend about an hour away in O'Fallon, MO. Not to mention family an hour and a half away! We are so excited.
The ship was in port for a whole week last week, I don't know the last time that happened, so Allen took the opportunity to take some leave and come visit Alaina and me. We had so much fun, it has been weeks and weeks since we had that much time together. We went to the zoo with our good friends in Missouri, and spent a lot of time playing outside and at the park. We found a great park in Carbondale that is a giant castle. Allen and Alaina had such a great time climbing up and down, and I enjoyed sitting in the shade watching them.
