10-26-09 OB Visit

Everything is looking good according to the OB at our visit yesterday. No ultrasound (we'll do that at the perinatal visit on Nov. 10th), but they did monitor heartbeats and poked around her belly to ballpark the size of her uterus. The doctor was pretty funny when he pulled a tape measure while poking around and measured approx 26cm (saying normal single pregnancy's are measured in cm - for you non-math majors out there, her's is a little over 10 inches) and Crystal asked how big it would get. His response, "you're going to get pretty big". Both heartbeats sound strong and are good, around 150. We'll start seeing him every 2 weeks now. Coming soon - next ultrasound pictures, and her 16 week belly picture, as soon as we get that uploaded.

Announcement!

All of those sayings you hear... double the pleasure, two times the trouble, double whammy, two peas in a pod... all apply to us. The news is out - I am officially pregnant............. with twins! Brett and I couldn't be more thrilled. I am not sure Lexy (the dog) is too excited about the idea, but she'll come around, right?? I am in week 15 (about 3 1/2 months). Due date is April 11th, hopefully I'll be able to keep them in the "oven" that long, but we expect them to make an early arrival. All is going great so far... I've been very tired physically, but my energy is starting to come back slowly so that is good news. I am ready to be out walking again and enjoying the cooler weather (so is Lexy!). Here is a picture of the two munchkins at 12 weeks... the picture of me is at 15 weeks -- belly is already out there!
