We're having twin girls!!

I am so excited that we are having two more girls! I was the only one in my whole family that thought I was having twin girls. Maybe it was wishful thinking?? I really wanted at least one girl because I wanted Abby to have a sister, but I am a bit sad that I'll never have a son, but the idea of 3 girls is just wonderful! I already told Adam to get ready for lots of dress up, tea parties, and Barbies! Along with lots of fighting in about 12 years!! He will be one very loved Daddy!

How far along? 19 weeks 3 days

17 Weeks

I can't believe how quickly I am approaching half baked. Since I will be delivering these babies by Nov 1st, that puts week 19 as my half baked! I am so glad to know this pregnancy will end at least 3 weeks earlier than my last one, because I was just miserable those last weeks. Although I am sure once they are here and I am sleep deprived I might be begging to have them back in me!

I met with my doctor yesterday for my monthly appt. Nothing exciting. I explained to her that I think both babies are still on the left side and she found both heartbeats on that side and pretty much confirmed they are both still there. I also had the usual pee in a cup and weigh in. Now we just wait until June 23rd for our big u/s!!

16 weeks

This week has just flown by. I spent the past week with my family and everything went as well as could be expected. It was very sad saying goodbye to my grandfather, but I know he is now at peace and not suffering. It was nice to see all my family and just spend some time relaxing. I also got a much needed break from my students. For now, I am just counting the days until summer vacation begins! 11 days to go!
