TWO more things to be thankful for this holiday season....

Baby A- 11 weeks, 1 day 4.7 cm


Baby B- 11 weeks, 1 day 4.6 cm



David is going to be a big brother and it looks like he will be gaining more than one playmate in the process!! We were completely thrown off guard when we went in for our first ultrasound at 7 weeks and my doctor told us "two for one!" Dave's response "you got to be kidding"; mine "how did this happen?" Needless to say we have been in complete shock since and are still amazed how this came about (apparently it runs on Dave's side of the family, but evidence is uncertain to whether or not the male can influence multiple births). Three ultrasounds later, we are coming to terms with the whole idea and excited about our new family of 5! The babies are growing exceptionally well, as our doctor says "perfect, couldn't get anymore textbook" and are making mommy pay for it in the process. I should have known something was different when every symptom in the book kicked in at 5 weeks! It is gradually getting better as I approach that 12 week mark this week, but I am afraid that it probably will not last long considering this belly that has suddenly popped over the past few days. We are currently seeing my OB every two weeks, which means we get to see these little beans quite often! If everything looks good at our next appointment we will get what they call the "twin vacation" and will have a month off before we start back on a two week schedule with our OB and a specialist. We look forward to keeping you all updated throughout this crazy journey! Please keep us and these two little blessings in your thoughts and prayers in the mean time.
