Week 21

We are doing great! We had a doctor's appointment this week so we got to see them again. They are very active and it still looks like 2 girls! My energy level has high and the doctor says everything looks good with me. We will be back in Effingham for the last time without babies next week. This will be the last time that I get to travel very far from my doctors. Hope everyone has a Very Merry Christmas!

Week 20 - 1/2 way!

This is week 20!

I am feeling really good. I even kept up with the kids while we were in NYC but I think being at sea-level had a little to do with that.

We have our next doctor's appointment on Tuesday, December 16th. We will keep informed on what we find out.

Point of Reference

These pictures were taken in Cancun in March 2008. We are including them so you will see the full impact of how my belly/body is changing.

They Moved!

The past couple of days we were in New York City with 20 high school students. We did a lot of sight-seeing. We visited the United Nations, the Federal Reserve, Ground Zero, Chinatown, our hotel was in Time Square, 5W PR Firm, saw the musical "Shrek", the Empire State building, the Sports Museum of America, and Rockefeller Plaza (where this picture was taken).

By far the highlight of our trip was feeling the babies move for the first time. I have been feeling some movement but not as definite as this time and Joe got to feel them as well.

What we know!

At our last doctor's appointment, November 26th, we found out that everything looks good! We wanted to know the sexes but we didn't get any definite answers. Baby A (the lower one) wasn't very cooperative and I think the doctor guessed because he didn't show us anything and he was never really in the area to tell. Baby B was a little better, even with her legs crossed, yep I said "her", the doctor showed us 3 white dots on the screen and said those were girl parts. So he said, "Don't take this to Vegas or anything but I am 95% sure you are having 2 girls". We are very excited at the possibility of 2 girls but Joe and I have still decided - at least for now - to stay with fairly netural colors. (Joe likes earthtones anyway.)

We also found out the sizes of the babies and they are both bigger than their age range. One is measuring 4 days larger and the other a week larger! I will see the doctor again in a few weeks.

Watching the belly grow!

We have been so behind on getting this going so I will just fill you in on the basics of what has been happening with the pregnancy.

This is my belly at 15 wks.

16 wks

17 wks & Radar had to have some attention too!

18 wks & growing

19 wks - in a few days I will be half way!
