Yes it's been awhile...

















To be perfectly honest I had forgotten about this... Life has taken some unexpected and crazy turns these last few days (or weeks.) This last Tuesday we had an ultrasound (Tuesday June 23rd) and both babies are looking great, (they're going to be girls we discovered!) but we found out one of the twins has been diagnosed with Vasa Previa. What that means essentially is one of the twins' umbilical cord is attached incorrectly on the placenta near the cervix and the blood vessels can be easily torn. If we're not at the hospital and that happens we will lose her. Thankfully they found this out now, and the odds are much better being diagnosed. It can mean Brianna will be hospitalized at 30 weeks, and guarantees a caesarian. As far as I understand it presents no danger to the other twin, but we're still learning all we can. The next ultrasound & appointment is July 7th, and while I've read a as much as I can about it on the internet we still have a lot of questions. We'll pass on more details then, hopefully.

Things as of Today

It's been a bumpy road these last 2 weeks (since the ultrasound). At 9 weeks the twins are certainly making me feel more sick. I'm lucky if I don't throw up at least once a day. I will be so happy when the morning sickness is finished!

The belly is growing rapidly! Even though I am 9 weeks I look and feel more like 14-15 weeks along! I suppose that is bound to happen with two babies.

Abby is keeping me super busy, and she actually just awoke from a nap so I will need to finish this another time!

Expecting Twins!

I thought I would create this blog to keep people updated on the changes we are experiencing in our lives because of the two little beans. They are due December 13 2009 and are identical. We are excited for our next ultrasound to see how they are growing!

Here is the latest ultrasound picture of them at 7 weeks:

Overheard Abby playing with her Barbies during bedtime: "Fairytopia is dead. Guys don't planick."... a little while later... "Ariel is dead! Planick?... Planick planick!!!!" (March 2012)

Abby was running around in church. I swiftly stopped her and very seriously said "We aren't supposed to run in Jesus's house." Very seriously she replied "Jesus lives in my heart mommy." Point Abby- (May 2012)
