Finally an Update!

Hello, alright so I know I have been a big slacker on updating my blog so anyways here is a little update on how things are going. Okay so I have had 2 Ultrasounds so far and everything is looking good, the babies are growing like there supposed to be they are actually a little bit ahead of schedule which is good for twins, my last ultrasound was on November 26th and I was measuring at 24 wks and 4 days and the babies were measuring at 25 wks and 4 days so they are definitley growing. Baby A weighs 1 lb 12 oz and Baby B is 1 lb 10 oz so they are doing well. As for mom I am doing good also I had a little rough couple of weeks the last few weeks because I got sick with a really bad cold so when I went to my appt back on the 25th my blood pressure was up quite high 140/95 so my dr. put me on a semi bedrest for the week and then I had to go back and see her a week later and I was starting to finally get over my cold so when I went back on thursday my blood pressure had come down to 138/80 so she took me off the bedrest and told me I could go back to my normal activities so that was good news. The bad news was that my glucose test came back high so needless to say yep I had to go and do the 3 hour glucose test where they draw my blood every hour for 3 hours and I have to drink that horrible stuff and I can't eat that whole time, so we got there at 9:30 in the morning and I was not done until 2:00 by that time I was weak and so starving I was ready to eat a Cow. I will not have the results back from that test until tuesday so I will keep you posted on that but if all of you will keep your fingers crossed that I do not have the Gestational Diabates that would be great, because if I do have it I am in trouble. You see for those of you who know me and what my diet consists of I am going to be a loss cause if they have to put me on some nutritional diet I have no idea what I am going to eat because Vegetables and Fruit are so not a part of my diet just bread(that is very high in carbs)and that is white bread not wheat...Yuck and chicken oh yeah I can finally eat chicken again yippee.
Anyways that is what has been going on with me and the boys, so, so far everything is looking good. K here are a few pics of the boys at there last Ultrasound and believe me they are definitley boys hehehe!

Baby A(if you look close you can see he is sucking his thumb so cute!)

This pic shows I am A Boy!

Baby B

This pic shows I am A Boy!

Halloween!

Okay so since my kids aren't here just yet to play dress up with on halloween, we decided to be kids ourselves and dress up and go out, it was fun we love Halloween. Pat was the killer clown and I was Goth Ann(raggedy Ann)but dark.
So we headed over to mindy and josh's after my cute little nephew came over to see us in his tigger costume he was so cute, april I need pics!
Once we got over to mindy's house she did all of our makeup and everyone showed up and then we headed out to the Halloween Block party that my cousin casey was putting on for the radio station at Lumpy's and a few other places in the block, it was fun, but let me tell you I haven't been up that late in a long time so needless to say I was pretty tired when we got home at like 2:00 in the morning. Anyways here are a few pics of our costumes:

They cooperated!

Okay so I know it has been awhile since I have blogged, but I just have not been in the mood, so anyways just wanted to let you all know that I am finally feeling alot better. Most of you know the issues and hell that I have been through and it was a big pain in my ass and I mean literally hehehe well it is finally better and as long as I take my nauses pill B6 and Unisom the best thing ever then I am not hugging the toilet which has been nice, I have had a few ups and down days but other then that I am feeling great. I have even been able to exercise again and that has been nice. Okay so I am not quite back to normal just yet, I still can't bring myself to eat a plain piece of grilled chicken, but I have been adding some chicken in here or there either in a fajiatta or mixed in something else just not a plain piece yet.
Okay so we finally went to the dr. again today and had our 20 week ultrasound, and it was about time since I haven't had one since 7 weeks and yep we found out the gender of them, but first I just want you to know they are both very healthy and right on schedule and that is all that matters.
Okay so yes we are having 2 Boys and Pat is so freaking excited its cute! Don't get me wrong I am excited too, but I was really hoping for a boy and girl but oh well I am just grateful that they are doing okay and that I am pregnant so I guess it doesn't really matter what they are and pat needed a boy or 2 in his world because having 3 girls and a very needy wife can be very rough on a guy. I have pics but I will post them later.
Alright that is all you are getting from me for now.

Cute little Jaxon!

Jaxon and I are having fun today and taking some really cute pics so I just thought I would share some of them:

I am still alive!

Okay so I know I have not blogged in awhile, but I just have not been in the mood for anything lately. Anyways just wanted to let you know I am alive and the babies are doing good, mom's not so good but the babies are, K thats all I have for now, when I am feeling back to normal I will tell you all about my lovely pregnancy, all I know is its a good thing I have 2 in here....cause never again!

Baby update!

Okay so sorry I have been such a slacker, but I have not been in the mood to do anything, so this is what has been going on. Pat and I went back last thursday a week ago for our second ultrasound and it went really well, we are for sure only having 2 yay! They are both doing very well, I said before that Twin B's heartbeat was very faint the first time we went, well its amazing what a week can do because this time both TwinA & TwinB were alot bigger and we got to finally hear both of there heart beats it was so amazing, TwinA was beating 149bmp and twinB was beating 145bpm so needless to say they are both doing well, and all those other follicules that they thought could be more baby sacs are just big follicules and hopefully will eventually go down.
Okay here are some pics of the babies: 1st pic is TwinA and TwinA's heartbeat. Second pic is TwinB and TwinB's heartbeat. 3rd pic is both of them.


Okay so on another note mom is not doing so hot, I am so sick and throw up everyday 2 or 8 times a day just depends on the day and it sucks but I will survive. Also the dr. said to me well you have 2 in there so you get double the fun, double the sickness and double the weight isn't that just lovely I thought so. He did say with me throwing up that, that is a good thing because it means the babies are doing well so I guess that is good but it is not fun for me.
Okay so those of you who know me and my eating habits know that my diet consists of chicken and chicken and more chicken, well when all this envitro started and I had to stop exercising I went on a strick chicken diet, not that I didn't eat alot of chicken before but I was eating nothing but chicken, 1 piece of grilled chicken for lunch, and 1 piece of grilled chicken for dinner grilled chicken for a snack, well it worked for awhile and I dropped 6lbs in those 3 weeks of just eating chicken. K well my last day of eating chicken was on July 5th and now I can't even look at chicken otherwise I will throw up and it sucks because now I have nothing to eat because there is nothing that I like believe me it has been rough. So now all I want is a cheeseburger or Taco Times bean & cheese burritos yep thats all I can keep down everything else comes back up. I try to eat bananas and apples and even the fruit baby food but no such luck it wont stay down. Also I am so not a pop drinker I used to just drink water and that was it, well now all I want is a sprite or a coke and that is so not good cuz coke is so not good for you but I want it so bad it is so weird.
Next wed, we go and see my actual OBGYN my dr. for our 10 wk visit so I am going to see what she can give me so I can stop throwing up and maybe actually want to eat because right now I hate food and nothing sounds good.
Anways sorry for all the complaining but I am so entitled to it, I have decided and poor pat he has to put up with alot right now, but he is so good to me I couldn't ask for a better guy I just love him.
Anyways thats all for now, I will update again soon.

How we told my parents!

Okay so pat got home from work and had this great idea on how to tell my parents how many we were having, so we went to fred meyer and got these 4 little booties 2 pink ones and 2 blue ones and 4 little bags to put them in 2 blue and 2 pink bags:

Then we had a card for them that had 3 little kittens on the front, so first when my parents saw the bags and booties they were shocked they thought we were having 4 my dad just kept holding up 4 fingers and mouthing the word 4 with this very shocked look on his face and my mom kept saying no Doug this has to mean 2, 2 for you and 2 for me but just 2 total and then she thought okay are you really having 4 so then they opened up the card and saw the 3 little kittys and my mom was like oh my gosh Doug they are having 3 yeah they are having 3 and then they opened up the card and read this:
No matter how much you mix or match them, No matter how hard they looked, No matter how hard we looked we could only see 2. So from having no grandkids a few years ago you are now going to have a house full.
Love Pat and Mick.
So needless to say we really had them going, pat came up with the best idea ever and then Ann and Kathy and Donna and Ann's kids and my grandpa came over and the first words out of everyones mouth was OMG you are having 4 it was hilarious.
Anyways sorry we forgot to take a pic of the card but there you have it, that is how we told my parents and everyone else who showed up at there house.
So then my mom had to have her friend Kathy come up and paint her front window, which we didn't take a pic of either we really suck at this, anyways and it said.
CONGRATS: 1+1+?=
Don't ask me why they put that, but they want to confuse ppl and when we really know for sure next thursday they will change it.
K thats all for now, sorry but I had to share my funny story.
