Update

The dr. appt went well. I gained about 6 lbs. in a month. I got to hear both heartbeats. I'm not telling anyone the heart rates because I don't want you to make any assumptions. Let me say, though, that the heartbeats are exactly where they are supposed to be.

I also had blood drawn today. They wanted to do some tests to make sure the babies are not at risk of Downs Syndrome or Spinobifida. (I have no idea if I spelled that right. I spelled it the way it sounds to me. haha)

So a good report. I have really popped out in the belly area. Lots of people think I look further along than I am. I am 17 weeks and 4 days today. In my fifth month. It is going so slow.

I go back to the dr. on Oct. 23rd. Hopefully I will have some very exciting news for you then. Hope everyone has a great weekend!

Dr. appt I

I go back to the Dr. tomorrow. Just a routine check-up. I'm ready to find out the sexes of our babies but it just isn't time. I wish it was going so much faster but I have to learn to be more patient.

The babies are constantly moving. I'm not sure if it's one at a time and they are taking turns moving or if it is both of them moving at the same time all the time.

Well, I'll let you know if there are any updates tomorrow.

By the way Meggy, I think we are going to tell my dr. that I want to deliver at OSF. Just in case...I wanted to let you know.

Hope everyone is having a good week. I'm glad the week is almost over. :-)

New Pictures for the cousins!

OK girls. Here you go! I hope you enjoy the new pictures.


Copper loves his mommy. He didn't want to lay with me...he just wanted to be close to me.


Lucy is getting so big. She likes to chase Minnie up the stairs and they will play there. Minnie doesn't mind. She likes to play too.

This is her favorite spot to lay if the dogs are outside. Sorry the picture is blurry. I made it really close and it looked better on the camera.

And now a picture you are probably waiting for. The first belly pic. The babies are growing so much and moving all the time now. They are no longer little bubbles. I still can't distinguish the two different babies, but it is so amazing to feel them. I have another Dr. appt. on Thursday but we don't have our next sonogram until Oct. 23rd. Hopefully on that day we will be able to find out the sexes of the babies.

Well, there I am. Getting fat. Keep watching for more baby updates and pictures. I'll try to do better to update this more often. Love to all reading!
