Countdown

I can't believe I am almost through the first trimester. I am so excited. I am looking forward to not being sick part of the day.

One hard thing is that when I was with the specialist they did an u/s every week. Now that I am with a regular ob/gyn I only go in once a month. I assume they will still do an u/s. I sure hope so. I need that assurance.

My sister came to visit from Chicago. She brought me a sweater and some pants from Mimi maternity. It's cute stuff, but I don't know if I will use it as much. The pants are green... I already have 2 pairs of green pants. The sweater is a huge wrap around. I think I may take them both back and get some maternity bras and a pair of jeans. I desperately need both items.

11 1/2 weeks... These babies will be here before we know it... AND I am SO excited!!!!!

Pictures at 9 weeks 6 days

Yeah, we finally got some pictures of the babies scanned. This picture is of both of the Monchhichis. The top baby is turned so you can really only see the top of his/her head.

The individual pictures show their heartbeats. Both had strong heartbeats of 176bpm. They are growing!!!!

Initiation

Well, I have finally been initiated into pregnancy. dh wanted chicken and fish for dinner. I put it in the oven (gagging from the sight) and went for a walk. When I approached the house I immediately started gagging again. I couldn't stop! And then... finally... I puked... all over our front steps. I guess it was bound to happen sometime... especially with two kids putting hormones in my body. At least, it makes me know that they are both doing well!

Had my first official ob appt. Yes, I was finally released from the infertility dr. Both babies were just moving around and their little hearts were beating like crazy! 176 bpm on both! The dr. said everything looks good and we could start spreading the word. YEAH!!!! Things are good! I'm so so so happy!!!!!

I told my students at the end of the day today. They were so excited! They kept jumping up and down, clapping, and screaming. It was so wonderful!

Keep us in your prayers... I just want both babies to be healthy.

Two for the price of one!

We had another ultrasound on Wednesday and found out that it is twins!!!! The dr. showed us that the second baby's gestational sac is small. So, he said that there is a change it may not make it. We should know within the next couple of weeks. I just want it to be OK. Now that I know there are two... I WANT two! I want both of them to be strong and healthy!

The babies were both the same size. Both heartbeat were very strong. So, all of that is promising.

For now we are calling them Zan and Jayna. Have you ever seen the "Wonder Twins"? The were super heros of long ago. They had a pet monkey named Gleek that got them into trouble. They are definately making us wonder! lol

Finally, my waist is expanding very quickly! I am already out of most of my own clothes... and I am only 8 1/2 weeks! lol I love feeling pregnant though. I actually love the fact that I am already having to wear maternity clothes.

It's really showing... my babies are growing and we really ARE on our way to being parents!!!!!!!! Yeah!!!!!

I'll try to post an u/s picture soon!
