Nothing to report

Today's appointment was uneventful. We did not get an ultra sound today. I don't think we will be getting one for two months. (We have been spoiled the last few visits.)

Next appt: Sept. 22

Growing

Had a doctor's appointment today. All is well.
The babies have each grown past 10 mm. I can't believe they grew that much in a week.

I haven't scanned the new pics in yet! Maybe next week.

Next appointment: Aug. 25th

Morning Sickness- how about ALL DAY sickness

I hate to be a complainer, but my bouts with gallbladder issues and the pancreatic attack are nothing compared to this morning sickness. I was blessed with Christopher's pregnancy-- this is horrible. It could be so bad because I have twins- double the hormones or it could be that there is at least one little girl in there. (some websites indicate that a girl will through off your hormones and give you bad morning sickness or all day sickness. Regardless, I can't wait till 14 weeks... supposedly it will end then.

Seeing is believing!

Today Joe and I saw the two heartbeats. The babies are smaller than 3 mm each and we can see their heartbeats. Technology is really amazing. Both babies are measuring at 5 weeks 6 days-- I am technically 6 weeks 1 day. Baby "1" is 2.5mm and baby "2" is 2.8mm. So far so good. Next appointment 8/13/2008.

Aug. 1 2008

Today was Lizzie's birthday party. Prior to the party, we informed Grandma and Grandpa (Karen and Joe) that they will grandparents to twins. They were ecstatic-- they were sad that they had to go back into the party and not be able to tell anyone. We are trying to wait until we see the heartbeats.

Now boarding

Yesterday we told Joe's parents our good news. Joan was going to be booking our flights for our June 2009 vacation and we wanted to be sure that they would fly out with us so we had the extra help. Frank and Joan were so excited-- Joan seemed a little more nervous for us. It will be a hard secret for them to keep. We are trying to wait until after the 1st trimester.
Joan called me this AM and told me she didn't sleep at all last night-- I told her it was the first night I did sleep through the night. I was glad someone could take the burden of worry off me for one night.

Sleepless nights already!

I don't know how we/I am going to make it through this pregnancy. I can't sleep at night. So many thoughts are going through my head. I have so many worries (too many to mention) and concerns. I just hope and pray for a healthy pregnancy with healthy babies.
