Belly pictures

We had a great update today at the Dr's office.... first let me start by saying I had an army of people to see these little ones on film (yes I know they are famous already lol) My mom, dad, mother in law, sister in law Kelly and Aunt Debbie all were there to see the babies little hearts beating away. The Dr looks for the heartbeat to be above 120 at this point and we have a 141 and a 147!!!! Strong little guys... or girls :) I was so excited to have such a great report... it really helps to make me feel much more confident that we will be bringing both of our babies "home" soon....well kind of soon :)

Ok since I have been slacking a bit at pictures I will give you a few :)

So the bottom picture is my belly just before I took the home pregnancy test, right around 4 weeks pregnant............... the beginning lol! This one is important because then you see..... the one on the on top.... that was today 7 weeks, um.... ya ....I think its growing :)

PS those jeans... the ones that needed a belt.... are the ones I cant button anymore...... hahaha

7 week picture

They are now approximately 1/2 long, like the size of a blueberry :)

7 weeks :)

7 weeks already!!! Went by fairly quickly I think, although I am sure the next 30+ weeks might not hahaha.

I have been feeling pretty great so far. No morning sickness but I have been told it usually starts around 8-10 weeks so I may not be off the hook just yet. I have been very tired... often... very often :) My boobies are .... um.... very big.... and my belly is already giving my pants a run for their money.... just still surprises me how quick these things start to happen but I guess its a little faster because there is 2 babies???

I only packed two pairs of jeans while waiting for the move.... I can only button one pair (they are a smidgen bigger then the other) so I am already using the hair tie trick to keep them closed. Makes me wonder "exactly how big will this belly of mine get?" Not that I am complaining :) I can fix it after my little ones arrive... for now I will just embrace my pudginess hahaha.

Tomorrow will be a great day! I have an ultrasound. Its my last one before I leave for D.C. I can not wait to see their little hearts beating again its pretty amazing.

Buy maybe the best part of this week will be Friday.......... I get to see my Pat!!!!!! I miss him so much and cant wait!

Next week I am going to go meet our new Dr ....I found a practice only 5 miles from our new house, appointment's on Wednesday, the 31st. I hope they are nice :)

I will update you guys tomorrow I will still try to get their last ultrasound uploaded today somehow.

What a day!

Last night I went to dinner with a friend and when I got home I realized I was having some spotting... of course I began to freak out... went to bed and figured it would be better by this morning but it wasn't. I cried called Pat and then the Dr's office who got me in today at 2:00....

The next couple hours were awful, we got there 30 minutes early and ended up waiting an hour total. The Dr. warned me that I was early and we might not see anything much but then the best sight and words I have ever heard....

"Well there are two sacs, Baby A has a heartbeat....... Baby B has a heartbeat" I cried!!! I was just soooooo happy I couldn't believe it. We are having twins!!!

The Dr. wanted to see both heartbeats over 100, we had one little one at 108 and one at 111... thrilled! The spotting was from a hemorrhage above the babies and she said it was normal and absolutely ok that it was happening :) Wow... I call baby B my little over-achiever/ mini Pat because he/she is a bit bigger then baby A.

I go back next Wednesday for another scan. I cant wait to see my little babies again :)

I will try to figure out how to upload a copy of the ultrasound.

Officially 6 Weeks :)

So here is what my little one (or ones) are looking like today!!! Kinda of amazing!!!

Final Beta ........

Came in at 8312 :) I am soooo .................. hmm........... I have run out of other words so I guess excited, happy, thrilled!!!

Our first ultrasound will be next Thursday :) One week from today I will get to see my baby... or babies :)

My wonderful mother in law and sister in law Kelly went with me to Motherhood today and I got my first maternity clothes. I tried them on with the fake belly... oh boy... My running motto today was "I wont be THAT big" and their running answer was "oh yes you will". It was such a great day and I was happy to share it with them.

Of course I filled Pat in and he is excited, we both are just waiting to be together so we can celebrate our new family :)

Tomorrow is a big day :)

Tomorrow morning I go in for my third and final Beta. Wow. This is by far the furthest I have ever gotten and just cant wait for my final number. I will be on pins and needles all day, but I am thankful to be spending the day with my mother in law and my sister in law so that will help pass some time. We are hoping for any number over 7000.... please keep us in your thoughts and prayers and I will update you as soon as I know :)

I am really missing my hubby... I just wish he was here to celebrate with me instead of celebrating over the phone... soon .... two more weeks.....................
