Belly Pictures 14w3d

Nothing much to report, everything has been pretty much the same with the pregnancy. Nothing to exciting which is good news!! :-) I found this cool count down clock so had to post it!! :-) I was trying to figure out how to put it on the side or at the bottom so it would always be on this first page, but thats not what the directions gave me when posting it. So here it is!! I had an OB appt last Friday, everything was great. Both heartbeats sounded great!! Our next appt is at 19 weeks which is October 22nd. We will have an U/S that day!! Im excited for that one, they should be a pretty good size by then!! And we will know for sure these are two boys!! :-)

U/S at 12w3d

I had another U/S today!! Its amazing how big the babies have gotten in just a little over two weeks!! They sure grow fast. Everything looked good with measurments and size. They measured a few days ahead! They were just the cutest little things!! :-) They are now transverse A on bottom of course and B on top. They were side by side before. Baby B is the hyper one, we would look at B and his head would be to the left and then we would go look at A and come back to B and he would have switched around to be facing the Right it did that several times. Baby A was nice and calm :-) We got some cute pictures of both of them When B would sit still for half a second. One of Baby A is laying on there tummy balancing on something in there. It was to cute. Oh and the tech let me call Kristina while she was doing their Heartbeats so she could hear them!! She loved it! :-)

Oh and most exciting of all we found out what they are already. Kristina and Pierre are having BOYS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I know its SOOOOO early but the tech saw it and myself and my friend that was with me saw it. They were just poking out for all to see. Now I know its early and you can never be sure even at 19 or 20 weeks when they normall do it, but for now we are celebrating TWO boys!!! I called Kristina to tell her and she couldn't believe we could see already she was so excited. They both really wanted at least one boy!! :-)

So congrats to you Kristina and Pierre!! I am so happy for you!!

A Couple of Pictures

I thought I would post a couple of belly pictures. I usually do it sooner than this but I just could never remember when I had the time to do it. So anyway here they are and please forgive the way I look I had been in the heat for about 3 hours before this picture!! These pictures are from today 11weeks2days.

Florida Sextuplets

Here is a link my mom sent me http://bylerbunch.com/component/option,com_frontpage/Itemid,1/ its about Florida's first set of sextuplets. This family is from the same area as my mom. I'm a little confused as to when she is due because the baby shower invite says September but then a report says she is almost 28 weeks and it was written on 8/20 so I'm not sure. What my mom sent said she was due in November. So I'm not sure when exactly she is due but I thought it was totally facinating that she has SIX. The Quints and Suz's that were just born were mind boggling to me. Now this!! WOW!! I have twins in here and can't even imagine what more than that would be like. I have to MAKE myself take a shower because it takes so much energy all I want to do is lay on the couch and not move, and thats just with twins in the 1st tri. Can you even imagine what its like for this lady or the others with so many!! You all are AMAZING women!!! May God bless you all!!

Pictures

I forgot to post these pictures from our cookout that we had when Kristina and Pierre were here a few weeks ago. Kristina is in black she is holding the baby in one of the pictures and Pierre is in a stripped shirt. Not everyone is in the pictures, some of the people that came were outside, but we were the smart ones inside it was 100 degrees that day!!!

10 Weeks U/S and 1st OB appt

Today was my first appt with my OB!! We got to have an u/s too!! Its amazing how much they grow in just a few weeks. At 8 weeks you could hardly see anything, this time they were waving and kicking their little legs all around. It was so cute!! They are measuring 10w5d and their heartbeats were 159 and 168. At the 8 week u/s they were a couple days behind in growth so they have really picked up!! :-) The top photo is Baby B and the bottom one is Baby A. A is on my left and B is on my right.



My Dr. said everything looks great!! They are growing great and that we are on track for a nice healthy twin pregnancy.

Anyone want to start taking bets on the sexes?? :-) I go back on September 14th. But i was able to schedule my next appt with Julie the U/S tech which is the gender u/s it is for October 22nd at 10am. I can't wait! We are all so excited to find out what is cooking in here!! :-)

I am going to say boy/girl right now. Their HBs are more girl ones, but with my last set of twins they were boy/girl and they had the exact same heartbeats as these two have. So thats my guess for now!! :-)

Cook Out and Ultra Sound

We had a wonderful time at the cook out last night. I had a bunch of friends come over to meet Kristina, Pierre and Gabrielle. They got here about 6:30 and we ate right away and began to visit. People was here till around 9. All my friends just adored them and they just loved all my friends as well. They were so sweet and brought us gifts from the travels the past few weeks. We all three got nice new watches (I got two, she said she couldn't decide between the two) :-) And we all got shirts from New Orleans. They are just to sweet. I got Elle a dress and she went right up stairs and put it on. She seemed to really like it!! So that was good!!

This morning we woke up bright and early and went to their hotel, they followed my mom who is in from FL and I to the hospital. We had to register first then head to the u/s area. We had a wait of about 20 minutes or so which you know if you have had an u/s is not a fun wait, when you have to pee so bad!!! They finally called my name and Kristina, Pierre and Elle all came back with me while my mom waited in the waiting room. We had a really sweet tech and she asked a few questions and typed something into the machine and then the warm gel went on and then the wand or whatever its called and right there on the screen were two nice beautiful sacks with little tiny babies in them. So we are having TWINS!!!! They measured great 7w6d and I am 8w2d so a couple days is fine especially with twins. Their heart rates were 167 and 163. We even got to see the heart beat after seeing it beating on screen. Kristina was excited to see and hear that!! :-)

That was the excitment for the day!! So we FINALLY know whats growing in there. So please continue to send your prayers that we will have a happy healthy uneventful pregnancy.

My first appt with my OB is on the 20th so we will have another u/s then. The pictures I have now aren't great because the babies are so little, so I will wait until the 20th, I will be 10 weeks then and my OB has a 4D machine and those pictures always turn out so much better. Check back tomorrow for a couple pictures from last night.
