Baby A

I had a Doctors appointment today. Everything looked great. We were able to see Baby A nicely. You can see the little hands and feet if you look closely. I was able to see Baby B but I did not get a great picture. Both baby's are measuring exactly 9 weeks 3 days. Baby A's heart beat is 170 and B is 173. It's always nice when you get to see your baby's. With twins you have an ultrasound every time. I have an appointment every three weeks and the ultrasound tech told me we could find out as early as 15 weeks what the sex of the babies will be!

It Worked!

Yesterday Dennis and I went through all of our baby clothes. It worked. When I got to all of Audrey's preemie clothes I could not believe how small they were. The crazy thing is our babies will probably be swimming in there preemie clothes for a little while. It hit me yesterday that Audrey is probably going to be my biggest baby at 6lbs 13oz. I am okay with that! I feel so grateful today for the blessing of two babies. I feel that Heavenly father knows I can handle two babies. I have a doctor appointment tomorrow morning and I get another ultrasound. I am going to like getting an ultrasound every time. I have decided to quit stressing. It is not doing me any good nor the babies so I just need to be happy and grateful that I get to have two babies at once.

Twin update

I have to say it is honestly taking awhile to set in that we are actually having twins. I NEVER NEVER thought I would have twins. I knew something was wrong when I was gaining weight WAY too fast. With Audrey I lost 10 pounds in the first trimester but still I knew something was up. Dennis and I joked a couple nights before I went in to the doctors about having twins. He said if we had twins it was my fault.

When I had my ultrasound the tech just started laughing. I saw two black sacs and knew something was wrong. She laughed even harder. She then got it in the screen where I could see two heart beats. I then asked if that is two babies or what? Laughing she said yep its two! Congratulations. I was in serious shock.

When Dennis called to see how my appointment was going I kept saying fine but he knew better, he kept asking and I kept saying everything was fine. There was no way I could tell him over the phone. So I showed up where he was working. He was on a lift so I held up the ultrasound and without me saying anything he made a two sign on his hand. He did not say anything or even move so I got in my car and had my first breakdown. I thought he was not coming so I was going to head home. luckily he came down and gave me a hug but did not say much.

I have decided to make a list of the Good with twins and try and concentrate on that....

1 pregnancy and I get two babies

I am done being pregnant after this

Audrey can have her very own baby to hold a lot more often than she is going to want to!

Having twins will be an experience like no other

I have twin sisters so at least I am a little prepared.

Some things that scare me right now

I have gained 7 pounds and I am only 8 weeks.

We now have to buy two of everything.

When both babies are crying who do you tend to first?

With nursing both babies how do you get any sleep?

Anytime Audrey gets near a crying baby she covers her ears and starts yelling for someone to make the baby stop crying.... (Oh Man)

I think I need to get Audreys baby clothes out and maybe that will help my mood.

Right now I am so tired and sick, I am throwing up but not like Audrey. I am really mean though I am trying not to be. Dennis is the one that gets most of my mean streak. Sorry hun. I already feel huge and worry about gaining as much weight as I am suppose to with twins. The Doctor said he would like to see me gain 50 pounds! Yikes. I tend to get happy about having two babies until I think about the financial side of things.....

Happy Birthday Audrey!

I can't believe Audrey is 4! Wow four years has gone by so fast. We had Audrey's party at the bounce house here in Rexburg. She invited all of her little buddies jumped their hearts out, had pizza, ate cupcakes, and opened presents. Audrey is one of the silliest little girls I know. She is constantly pretending to be a cat, loves loves loves to play outside any chance she gets, knows how to put a smile on anyones face, and is so happy. She has also gotten a little sassy, likes to argue with what you have to say even if she agrees with you she loves a good argument. Audrey got a few dress up clothes this year for her birthday. I will have to post a photo of this later. She is always in her princess outfits. We got her a bike this year. It is a little big but she loves it and will grow into it soon. HAPPY BIRTHDAY Audrey we love you, Mom and Dad

WHAT.....SERIOUSLY.....

I can't believe I am going to have twins. I have twin sisters so I thought I was safe. It is suppose to skip a generation. I guess I am an exception to the rule!
