Bad Blogger is back! Although, I think my excuse this time might be legitimate. I once again will promise to be a better blogger. I have looked at some blogs recently that do a once a week update such as "5 on Friday". I think that might be a good goal for me.
The real reason for this blog entry is announce our newest "members of our family". yes you read that right, memberS! Chris and I thought we were ready to add to our family since our little man turned one at the end of December. Well, the day before Parker's birthday we found out that he would be a big brother. After thinking about this, we decided to hold off on our announcement of the baby until after I talked to the doctor and made my first appointment. As excited as we were, we also knew that the first trimester can be risky. With Christmas, a new decade, Parker's birthday, a trip to NJ I thought I had enough on my plate than to add the news of a new baby.
I contacted my doctor and had my first appointment on February 4, when I would be 9 weeks 1 day. I was disappointed that I had to wait that long, but I have done "this" before and I didn't mind waiting. On Thursday, February 4th at 5:30pm I knew our family would be changed forever. After introduction and hellos, the doctor did an ultrasound to check out the baby. To my shock and surprise, there were 2 (TWO), yes 2 (TWO), babies growing in my belly. I was scared, excited, nervous, worried, sad, happy, and probably 1,000 other emotions! To be honest, the thought of twins scared the heck out of me.
On Monday, February 8th, I had to go to Maternal Fetal Medicine because my OB, Dr. J,thought he might have saw a problem with baby B's sac. (That is strange to refer to my babies as A and B) Chris and I headed to Maternal Fetal Medicine on Monday morning at 9:30. We got another ultrasound and confirmed two babies. Our twins are going to be fraternal. We are hoping for a girl and boy. Mommy would be happy with two princesses though, and Daddy would love two more little men to add to his clan. Both of us will be happy with whatever healthy babies we get. My official due date is September 5th, 2010. The doctors all tell me to expect the babies 3 to 4 weeks before their due date, and no later than 38 weeks. Those dates will put us sometime in August.
I promise to keep everyone updates with all of our adventures!
