Like the Yogurt: Thank God we are just having 2!

October 2012

the babies @ 13 weeks... A on top B on bottom (you can only see a little of B)

Now that I'm back to my regular obgyne its kind of sad how normal I am. Dont get me wrong it is great to be able to say, "YES I'm pregnant!" when they ask you on the phone while making an appointment, but its sad because I'm just a face in the crowd there. The only thing that makes me stand out now is when they ask how many... seeing the look on people faces when I say 2 is priceless. I think the biggest difference for me here than at the fertility place is I felt so special there! I do love my obgyne but its definitely a different feel. My first appointment went well... I was confirmed pregnant (haha told ya)! My "morning" sickness has stopped for the most part. We did opt to have the NT test done. That test checks for chromosome abnormalities and Down's. I went to Evanston hospital for that because they have the fetal diagnostic center. When I walked in a I greeted by a new mom saying hi to the staff with her 9 week old triplets! And as cute as they were... I text Cam immediately- Just saw triplets... so glad we are having 2- He misread my text and thought I meant I saw triplets on the ultrasound and that WE were having triplets. That was a scary moment for him! The appointment for that is an ultrasound (my first NOT internal one :) and a finger prick for blood. The measurements came back in the normal range and we are low risk for the abnormalities... with this test there is never NO risk its just a high, medium, low deal. We are very blessed to have things going so well and I will never take that for granted. I am however dying to know what the sexes are and since we are doing well and I'm not high risk, our next ultrasound isnt until 21 weeks. I'm only 14 weeks now! Thats 7 weeks I have to wait!!! Grrrrr... We are probably going to cave and do the 3D/4D ultrasound at one of those speciality places. We found a great deal at a place in Oak Park and they will do it as early as 15 weeks with a 95% accuracy. IF they cant see it for any reason we can come back with in a month for free and if they are wrong we get our money back. Its been tough for Cam to make it to some of the appointments because of work and football so I figure its win-win. I get to find out and he gets to finally see our active little chickadees swimming around in me. Did I mention they have not taken very good u/s photos the past 2 times because they couldn't stop moving. I was thrilled to see them thrashing around but the fetal diagnostic tech that was trying to see their nasal bones was not as happy. All in all... things are going well, I feel good, I'm getting bigger by the day, and we also got our nursery well on its way!

found this adorable furniture @ IKEA... yes I have heard a lot it looks very boyish but who says everything has to be pink for girls and blue for boys... I happen to like blues and orange! plus looks at the cute frames below that I painted fun colors :)
