13 Week Update

Hi Again!

I've made it 13 weeks! According to some, that means I'm finally in the 2nd trimester! According to others, I still have a couple of weeks to go.

Either way, I'm so happy to be here! I wish that I could report that all of the morning sickness is gone, but it's not. Like clockwork I wake up every morning and make a beeline straight to the bathroom. But, if all if this means that our twins are healthy, then bring it on!

My next appointment is in 3 weeks! Which means, three more weeks until we know if it's a he/he, he/she or she/she!

In the meantime, take a second to vote for what you think!

Talk to you soon!

12 Week Update

Can you believe it?!?!? I've finally made it to twelve weeks! Well, 12 weeks and 2 days to be exact! And, no the morning sickness has not just magically disappeared!

I got to see the little beans on Monday and I have to say that it was the best ultrasound I've had yet. They're actually starting to look like little babies and I had to catch my breath when I saw them wiggling and bouncing around! They're heartbeats are strong, both at 140bpm and they're still growing right on target, with crl's at about 4.79cm each!

Say "hello" to Baby A:

In this picture, Baby A is looking right at us and waving! Clearly Baby A is not at all shy! I'm thinking Baby A will be our social butterfly! But seeing that s(he) knew to look at the camera at exactly the right time, it seems pretty obvious that Baby A's pretty darn smart!


Now, say "hi" to Baby B:

As you can see, Baby B is a bit shy, always hiding! I have a feeling that this one is going to be our creative thinker! Ooooh . . . Maybe even our dancer! Watch out So You Think You Can Dance!!! Brains and all those moves to boot! Baby B is going to blow your mind!

Well, as you can see, the twins are doing beautifully. They're growing into what Frank and I are convinced will be the most perfect pair of twins anyone will ever set eyes upon!

Talk to you soon!

11 Week Update

Hey everyone!

Thought I'd check in and let you all know how we've been doing.

You'll be happy to know that my symptoms are going strong! The only food that is even remotely tolerable is watermelon. I probably eat between 2 and 3 watermelons a week! Other than that, there isn't much that my body will let me keep down. I know I know, too much information!

Yesterday I spoke with my OB about my inability to keep food down and they said that as long as I'm able to drink lots and lots of fluids, then I should just eat what I can for now . . . watermelon and saltines here I come!

She also made a point to let me know that our last ultrasound was perfect and that the twins are growing beautifully and that when you get an ultrasound like that your risk of a miscarriage drops below 10%, which was great news!

What's up next?

Well, we have our ultrasound for 1st trimester screening on Monday at 3:30 and our first appointment with the midwife on Tuesday.

I'll post new pictures and give you another update then!

As usual keep us all in your prayers. All we can ask for is continued happy and healthy pregnancy!
