So what will they be???

As you can see - baby A is photogenic while baby B is shy. We had an ultrasound our last visit and poor B was getting kicked in the head. B just took it face down and wouldn't move so this is the best shot they could get of him/her. Which brings me to...

We have our next appointment March 26th. This appointment will reveal the sex of the twins.

It's so hard not knowing what they are yet. I feel the need to pick a name now, things for the nursery now and little clothes and such. It makes it so hard, but we've waited this long so we'll make it.

It's funny people assume you want a boy and a girl. That would be "just perfect" and we'd be "finished" according to everyone. Is this the American dream? Can't they understand I am thankful for whatever I have. I mean considering what we've had to go through to get this little ones and others seem to spread 'em and get knocked up - I can't be picky!!! I will be happy with whichever we have. And they are identical so it couldn't be a boy and a girl anyway... THINK

16 weeks and still puking!!!

I'm 16 weeks pregnant now. What an amazing time this has been. The puking, hearing heartbeats, seeing them move around and even feeling them moving now... I've just now started getting a belly. I'd like to think I'm out of the "Is she fat or pregnant?" stage, but people think what they want!!!

Our next appointment on March 26th will reveal BOYS OR GIRLS??? I can't wait!

These two little ones are sucking the life out of this very excited mama. It will all be worth it I know.
As of today (Feb 20th), I am 14 weeks pregnant. It's been rough. I've lost 15 lbs and haven't gained any of it back. I'm sure my time will come so I shouldn't complain now. I've puked pretty much everyday since I can remember. Puking cheese-it's in the shower isn't pretty!!! Everyone says "it will end soon" but I think they are all liars!

We've gotten so used to seeing the babies each week. Their growth is amazing. It's sad, no more weekly ultrasounds, but it is a great feeling to go to my regular OB doctor rather than the fertility clinic. It's just not the same, but it is a huge step meaning everything is "normal" at this point.

Since the pregnancy test, we've gone to the doctor every week. Each week, they take blood to test hormone levels and do an ultrasound to make sure everything is taking as it should. Each week we go brings more and more news and hopes! We found out two weeks ago that we are having twins. We knew it was a possibility since Dr. Allemand implanted two eggs. We really didn't think it would be a reality. In fact, only one of the eggs that were implanted took. Out of that one, it split so we will have identical twins. Two peas in a pod!

The attached picture is of baby A and B at 12 weeks.

Pregnancy Test - December 11th

For the first time in my life, I was excited to have my blood taken. This could mean a whole life change for us.

Cary and I met for lunch today to await that one phone call we've been waiting for. The nurse called and my heart started racing. I knew I had to answer, but at the same time I was afraid of the results. We were so nervous to hear what she had to say. WE HAVE A POSITIVE PREGNANCY!!!

It's so amazing to me especially all that we've been through. God has truely blessed us so far.
I am, as of today, 7 weeks and 5 days pregnant. I haven't have any symptoms (that I'm aware of) yet, but I'm sure the time will come.
