Not very good at updating

Okay, so I suck at updating things. I just spent the weekend down at the Lake, only finishing 7 scrapbook pages. Yes, Chrissy and I usually finish that amount in one night, but I was slacking. Tim sat home and cleaned a little, but mostly just relaxed. We are starting to pick out what kind of bedding we want for the twins room so we can start painting. Actually, I should say for Tim to start painting. I am thinking Frogs, but we haven't decided yet.

so, as you can see we got new ultrasound pictures today. I was on my way to the doctor's office and I realized that my appointment was at 2:30 instead of 3:30. I was so embarrassed, I was crying on my way there. Those damn hormones. Anyway, they were actually running late so I was okay. The doctor talked to me about the types of twins and the risks in having twins. I am okay with everything. When they did the ultrasounds the babies get jumping and moving around, it was really neat. I can't wait for Tim's work to let him off so he can see it. Both babies are on target for a due date of 8/14. Their sizes and heartbeats are very good. The doctor could not tell if the babies were identical or not. She said they have two separate sacs, but they could still be identical. She said they could be, if the egg split very early and they attached to the wall of the uterus separately. I let her know we did not want to know the sexes, she said that was cool but to tell every doctor when I see them. I have a regular check up on Thursday this week. I will be 13 weeks on Friday. My next appointment with the Specialist is 3/17 (ST. PATRICKS DAY). Hopefully i will get to meet with Sue at Dr. Hahns office on 2/21.

WHAT A SURPRISE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!111

I went to the doctors to hear the baby's heartbeat. My mom went with me because Tim's work needs a large amount of notice to get off. The nurse started to do an ultra sound and right when she found the baby we noticed that there was another right away. We are having Twins. My mom and I were both crying (tears of joy). Tim and I have been joking about TWINS since we found out we were pregnant. I wish he could have been there, but I was able to see him in person at the Bread Co. and tell him. He is just as excited. I was crying when I told him. We both called our family members and some cried with us. Tim's mom is also very excited. I have been telling everyone that I have been eating a lot lately. No wonder it is for me and two others. I know the pictures are not the best because the scanner did not do a very good job, but you can see the 2 babies. I was told that I have to the doctor every two weeks. Doctor, ultrasound, doctor ultrasound. That is o'kay more pictures for me. She also said that I would probably have the babies before my due date. She said I would have them before i go back for teacher orientation which is the first week of August.

Dr. Appointment was a bust

Wednesday the doctor's office called and needed to reschedule my appointment. I tried rescheduling for the same day, but it did not work out. We made a new appointment for this Thursday so I hope that is ll goes well. I will update more about the appointment then.

Tim and I had our first Dr.'s visit today. It was not very exciting but our Dr. is very friendly and funny. By his calendar our weeks change on Thursdays. I will be 8 weeks tomorrow. I have to go back in 2 weeks (1/17) to hear the heart beat and have some cultures done. (something like that) We have our choice of 4 hospitals to deliver at but I will most likely go to DePaul because it is the closest.

A New Addition

Tim and I just found out that we are expecting. We are very excited and can not wait to confirm it with the doctor. Our appointment is on January 4th. We were so happy telling everyone on Sunday. We now have something to post as the time goes by.

Honeymoon Time

We had to wait 2 weeks to go on our honeymoon, but it was worth it. We went to the El Dorado Royale, Riviera Mexico. We had the same routine everyday. Breakfast, swim-up bar, lunch, swim-up bar, showered, then dinner. 4 days was not enough, we can not wait to go back. We'll just let you figure out what we did in between the time. hahahah
