update

It's been  a while since I have updated my blog. So I thought I would give you a quick update on how things are going.

B & M's babies are now 24 weeks gestation and are measuring  24 weeks and 2 days and 25 weeks and that was at the appointment we had on Wednesday the 26th. My appointments are now going to be every 2 weeks so I am hoping that I start to gain more weight than I have, gaining weight is a challenge for me even when pregnant but that is the only time I do gain weight and so far I have gained 11 pounds and the doctor wants me to gain about 40 so I asked him how can I gain weight he told me to eat more protein so that I am and I am hoping that works. my weight gain is not affecting the babies though so that's good. Other than that there is not much more to update for now

16 weeks

Well B & M's babies are now 16 weeks gestation and they are the size of an avocado. My belly is growing and I am finally gaining weight now that the morning sickness is going away. I have narrowed it down to no bread, milk and now bananas. Eventually I will be able to have them but because I am not able to drink milk I am taking calicum pills.  I just can not tell the babies get more active to where I can feel them kick and move so I can record it and send them to B & M.

14 weeks already

Well we are now 14 weeks and into our 2nd trimester. and today I went to the Dr because I woke up cramping and it was all on my right side, and come to find out it can be either built up scar tissue from previous surgeries, my appendix in 2005 and then having my tubes tied in 2007 or it could be a

varicose vein the dr was just not really sure what it is but he is going to watch it. I am just thankful that it is not harming the twins.  They are not my babies but I still want to make sure that they are save and ok as I would be doing the same thing if they were my own.  Every pregnancy is different and yes its also nerve raking as well because we want to make sure all goes well for 40 weeks or 9 months.  I am just so thankful that everything is going pretty well, nothing major and I can not wait for the 20 week ultrasound when B & M can see how much their babies have changed since they last saw them at the 9 week ultrasound, other than the ultrasound pictures that I had sent them.

sorry about the reflection but this is me trying to take a picture with out showing my head :)

11 week ultrasound

Well I finally got my camera back from the shop so I can finally upload pictures from the 11 week 6 day ultrasound appointment.  I have another appointment tomorrow but I am not sure if they are going to do an ultrasound or not but either way it will be nice to know that B & M's babies are doing great and growing.

the material

So today I took my daughter to Joann's Fabric since she wanted to make another blanket for B & M but instead its going to be 2 of the same kind. And I suggested it be 1/2 yard that way they fit perfect over the babies carseats because most blankets are to big and this is the perfect size.  She picked out neutral colors because they don't want to know the gender of the babies so this way its best.

2 Peas in a Pod

Well Friday I had my 9 week ultrasound and I can finally update my blog with wonderful news. Lets just say the 7 week Ultrasound was a day of surprise and happiness for me and well I can not say for my Intended Parents because I could not tell them that they are having twins, they wanted to be surprised for when they come for the 9 week ultrasound so for 2 weeks it was so hard not to tell them anything and since I could not tell them I could not post it on here.

Yes there are 2 healthy babies and they will be babies because they don't want to know the gender therefore neither do I because that would even be harder to keep that from them so I just think its best to have it be a surprise for all of us and I am one who likes surprises.

32 more weeks

8 weeks down and 32 more weeks to go  until we get to meet this precious cargo that I am carrying for B&M
