No Luck

No u/s for us. It has to be done in a different building & since it was Christmas Eve, they were closed. Now I have to wait. Which might not be such a bad thing since I am a little over 17 weeks & I know the closer I can get to 20 weeks, the better the odds that there won't be a mistake in them telling us the gender. And I can go shopping! We should hear from them on either Monday or Tuesday so I might wait until I am 19 weeks or so to make the appt. I've waited this long, what's a couple more weeks. :) But on the flip side, Jason got to hear their heartbeats for the first time. Baby on the left was found right away (145), but baby on the right was being difficult as usual. This was my 3rd time hearing them & each time that little turkey moves around & makes it hard for them to capture the heartbeat. Jason knew this, but was freaking out a bit. Dr. finally got it for a second only to loose it, but eventually he got it (150). He measured my tummy & since they don't use a real guideline for multiples, I measure at 26 weeks!! I am really only 17!! EEKKK! I am just waiting for someone to ask how many more weeks I have left until I deliver, & it is more like 4 1/2 months or so I have left!! Add it to the list of things we have to laugh about! You got to laugh about it, cause crying just isn't going to cut it. So far everything is going great. Hopefully once we have that u/s, they babes will be ok & growing at the pace they should be.

Counting the Hours

I know it is has been a long time since posting on here. Don't think many people would find it interesting hearing all my paranoid thoughts & feelings. So I figured I should just keep it too myself. I am 17 weeks now. In a few hours we have our appt. It is 3 am & I am up, but I went to bed like at 7!! I am soooo old. I know I have to have some bloodwork done & I am hoping an ultrasound too. I am going to beg & plead for one at least. :) Many of my twin-mommas'-to-be have already found out what they are having by this time, so I am going to ask if we can find out the same. I am excited & anxious. Trying not to get my hopes up too high, just in case they make me wait until 20 weeks, but still, if I can at least see my babies & have pics of them to show to the family, I think that would be a wonderful Christmas gift. I haven't seen my little peanuts since 10 weeks, so I know they look much different now. It is hard not knowing & I am uber impatient. But, I've waited a long time for this, so if we have to wait, I guess a few more weeks won't kill me!

We ordered our cribs & changing table the other day. That is our Christmas gifts. We figured we've got twins on the way, & honestly, Jason & I do not need anything anyways, so it is only right that it should all go towards the nursery. I am getting excited about decorating, have a few ideas, but just waiting on the ultrasound. My ma-n-law got us a great glider, which I love, so that was our first piece of furniture in there. My mom got us a great tandem buggy & 2 swings.

Can't believe how fast this all is going. I've been trying to enjoy it, but it makes me worry a little that this whole pregnancy is just flying by. I've waited so long for this & I want to enjoy it, but it needs to slow down just a tad. I might be saying something different in a month or two, but right now I wanna enjoy this. Who knows if we will be lucky enough again for this to happen.
I will post any news I get from our appt. today. Keep your fingers crossed we can find out the sexes of our babies. Merry Christmas!
