Friday I went for my first official OB appointment. We had some test & we filled out a bunch of paperwork in order to create my OB chart. My pregnancy is considered high risk due to my age (almost 35), and the fact that I have twins. Because of my age, I am at increased risk of having a baby with down syndrome. The hospital plans on sending me for a few blood test in about a week, that can help determine my actually risk ratio. I'm not worried, I know my babies are healthy. Other than that, I have a great team of doctors & an awesome midwife that will be mainly following my care. I work on Labor & Delivery at the same hospital that I will be delivering at, so I have a professional & now a personal relationship with my doctors. It is pretty cool.....We also got another ultrasound, and Phil got to be there for this one. We got to hear their individual heartbeats too! We were both amazed at how much they had changed in a week! With the last ultrasound, they looked like little peanuts, now they really look like babies! Baby B was just chillin & not really moving around, until Baby A kicked it into high gear. Next thing you know, they were both dancing away in my belly!! So cute!! Baby A was 1.4 inches & her :) heart rate was 176. Baby B was 1.5 inches & his :) heart rate was 171. No I don't know the sexes yet, but I have a feeling. I think we have to wait till at least 16 or 18 wks to find out.

10 weeks pregnant

I am 10 weeks pregnant tomorrow. We have our official first OB appointment on Friday. I am hoping that our pregnancy schedule will be laid out a little clearer for us. When we will need to have what test & ultrasounds. I am still feeling pretty good, and maybe even a little better. Today, when leaving church, the priest noticed my little bump & blessed the twins. :) I didn't think that I was really even showing too much yet, but he noticed. Here is a picture of my 10 week belly.

So yesterday was my confirmation ultrasound. Babies were a little too small to get an accurate due date last time, but this time they were measuring right on target. Babies looked great! I am 9 weeks & 2 days today & my new due date is October 24th! It kinda felt real before, but seeing those too little peanuts squirming away on the ultrasound really made it feel real yesterday. We are so excited!! Here are the pictures. :)

Hello again....Not much to update today. I am 8 weeks 3 days, and my next ultrasound is Wednesday the 14th. I am barely showing, but I might have a little pouch. I wake up every two hours at night to pee & am tired all the time. I feel really hungry every two hours, but when I go to eat I can only handle a few bites. I have occasional nausea, but I can usually get it to pass by stopping whatever I was doing or by taking Zofran. We are really excited that we are having twins, but have not bought one thing for the babies yet. Our parents tell us to wait on buying anything for the babies until after the shower, but every time I talk to my mom she is buying something for them:) We don't mind one bit though. We are just glad we have such supportive & excited parents/grandparents. Well, here is my 8 week belly shot. Looking forward to the next month having more to report.....
