Wow... it's been too long.

It has been too long since I have been on here. 

I am now 26 weeks pregant. I feel these girls ALL the time :)   Some night I am convinced they are not going to go to bed.

Baby A is measuring 26 weeks 2 days at 2lbs and Baby B is measuring 26weeks 6 day at 2lbs. :)    Today I had my glucose test and will have the results in 2-3 days... fingers crossed that I will not need the 3 hour glucose test!

Talked to the doctor to schedule my c-section. I will be 37 weeks on September 10th so that is the date!!!    Unless.... I start contractng prior to that. He said they will "try" and stop them but he believes the girls might be here sooner then the 10th.

My appointments are now every 2 weeks. And after 32 weeks I am no longer able to go to SD. :(    If I start contracting before that then I can't go either.   

All else is going well. Morning sickness is still very much here :(    but I am doing much better with it.

I will keep up with blogging each appointment from now until they are born.   

Just Trucking Along!

So today marks 21 weeks! I feel like it has gone by WAY TOO FAST!  The girls are in full motion, mainly at night. And boy are they active :) This is always a good thing, and really fun at night when I am by myself paying close attention to their movements. 

According to what I have read, they are measuring about 10 1/2 inches long. I will have a better idea of their length and such when I go see the doctor on the 29th!

Today I finally sent my IM (Intended mom) a picture of me and the belly. :)

Me and the girls!!!  

So here we are again.... back in the swing of things.

So let's see,  I was recently pulled from my OB's and got a new one whom I got to meet today! LOVE HIM!!!   The girls are doing good, however still causing me morning sickness and thank goodness it is only int he morning now. :) 

But now.. now comes the heartburn!

At today's appointment the girls were super active :) Doctor said I should start feeling them more often within the next 2 weeks!!  That should be fun. Let the cage fighting begin! 

Baby A who is on the right is measuring 18 weeks and 4 days and is weighing in at 8 oz and Baby B who is on the left is measuring 19 weeks and weighing in at 9 oz.  Wasn't able to actually verify yet that they are girls...  but for the sake of the gender selection we will still call them girls. :)

I am feeling good for the most part, I get in some good walking here and there, but find that my walk has kind of turned into that of a turtle. :)   But I get the walking in and that is all that matters to me :)

I suppose I will post at least a belly pic soon. I am not a fan of the camera.

Until next time....  

The Growing Continues

Wow, it's been a while. I have been trucking along... have had morning noon and night sickness since week 6 and I am now at 16 weeks 3 days. So it has been a long haul! The girls have grown so much, and are really active. However, not today. They wanted no part in having their picture taken. Hahahaha.

Since I am now 16 weeks, one of my doctors( yes, I have 2 doctors) wants to check my cervix every week. OH JOY!  This began today and will continue until I am 24 weeks.  My OB will then see me every 3-4 weeks for now.

Today was my graduation.

Today I had to get the needle again... to see what my level was.  To continue or not to continue with the Endometrin. 

Got the call... I have officially graduated from Dr. Ringler's office.

This means NO more shots, No more knots, No more baby asprin, and for now NO more blood draws.  I am so excited about this and so are the knots that have formed in my upper butt cheeks! Hahahaha

There is a light at the end of the tunnel.... and I reached it!

So I had my first OB appointment, which went great!   It was nice seeing the doctor who delivered my son. Such an amazing man!! Every thing went well. Babies (the limes) are measuring right on point! Yay!!!  The second best part about my appointment, I get to deliver c-section!!!!   YES!      Funny that I am excited about that.  Next appointment is set for the 28th of March.  He said he was going to see me often and keep these babies safe and comfortable!!!!  

Up next,  was the blood draw to see when I get to stop my shots. Yay baby...  No more shots for this lady!!! That by far is the best news ever.

Almost time for a good massage to work out some of the knots. 

Drum Roll Please.....

Ok, So I am a few days late AGAIN with posting... Sigh :)

So I had my first ultrasound on Thursday February 9th. I was so nervous and very excited at the same time :)

My sister (Crystal) and Francesca (from Modern Family) were there for it. First stop... blood draw to check my levels for my meds! :)  

Waiting.. and waiting. Good news before mine, was that one of the other girls was there having hers done too...   (K)    She is having TWINS for her IPs. :)  

"Erica", the nurse said. I had to make sure it was OK for my camera/video crew to come along as my IPs were not able to make it or skype. :(      

We get in the room. This is when I really start the get nervous...     A test run of the video was done to make sure she was in a good place and my camera girls were all set!  

Time for action!!!

Dr. Ringler came in, said that I was 6 1/2 weeks along and that my numbers looked good!   That is always a positive thing!

Starting looking around and saw the "sac" as he called it, heard the heartbeat and took a measurement or two. Dr. Ringler, then aid he was going to take a look around.... 

A look around for what??   That baby condo?   But ok, he is the doctor and knows what he is doing... 

...that looking lead to "oh there is another "sac". :) 

Holy cow!!!  Two "sac's" equals 2 babies!!!    We are having TWINS!     I was so shocked, surprised and over joyed as I knew this news would really send my IP's over the moon... 

Next appointment is set for February 23rd....
