IT"S A GIRL!! and A ???

Hello everyone! We had the 3D ultrasound done today. Well we finally know at least one of our babies is definitely a girl. She gave us a very clear shot of her little bottom side. We are very sure that baby B (the one on the left) is a girl. I can't wait to start collecting little pink things. :) We can also start narrowing down our list of girl names. The other little darling would not cooperate today. "He" (wishful thinking) was all curled up. His legs were pulled up tight and an arm was covering his face and he was turned away. One picture shows his whole back and legs and feet crossed and the side of his face. We also got a couple decent shots of one face and an ear. Luckily, they have scheduled me to come back in a few weeks for a free session since the images weren't very clear and they couldn't get both genders. The appointment is on Dec. 8th. Look for another update then. We also found out why I am feeling kicks mostly on the right side, it is because all 4 legs are in the same area. Both heads are down right now (let's all pray they will stay that way so I can avoid a c-section) and all the feet are a little to the right of my belly button. It was amazing to see them again. They have grown so much. Jim and his mom (Tutu) were able to come too. It was wonderful to see them see the babies for the first time. Jim was not sure what he was seeing at first. I was trying to point things out to him. He saw the little heartbeat. The place was amazing. It was like a spa. Nice leather couches, soft music and lighting. The ladies were so nice. It was a great experience. I can't wait to go back again and get some better images. She recorded a couple short videos too, but they are kind of hard to see whats what.

6 months


Here is a new picture of the belly. Look how much it's grown! I know it is not the best picture, but I thought this dress really showed the belly. Click on the picture to make it bigger and you can see it better. I am 26 weeks now. I am really only about 10 or so weeks away from having them. We are having a 4D/3D ultrasound on Saturday. We will be getting a CD and DVD of them. I will post some pictures on Sat. We will be able to tell if they are boys or girls too. I can't wait to see which one has been kicking me so much on the right side. :) I have to go for now. Look for another update on Saturday!

Sorry Everyone!! I still don't know.

I was hoping that I would be able to tell you tonight what we are having. I thought for sure my doctor would do an ultrasound today. Especially since I haven't been to the doctor at all and I am 25 weeks pregnant. I guess I thought he would care to see how my babies are doing as much as Jim and I are wanting to know how they are. But I was wrong. My appointment was at 3:30 and I arrived early to fill out papers. Jim left his conference early so he could come to our first appointment too. We were both so excited. However, once we got called in the room, the doctor had to go deliver a baby. The nurse said, "Oh she is pushing already, it should only be 15 minutes." Yeah right! We waited an hour in that room. Then when he finally got back, he was in such a hurry to go home I guess, that he really didn't even tell me anything about how I am or the babies. He listened to their hearts for a couple seconds, did a few "other" tests and then said , "OK see you in 2 weeks" and left. He didn't take any time to really talk to me about things, answer any questions(that I have been thinking about for 2 months). It really was the most inefficient doctor's office I have ever been to. The restroom was also filthy. Jim didn't even get to hear or see the babies. That is what I was most looking forward to. It was a real let down and disappointment. I will have to find another doctor. I was just picking one that took my insurance(now I finally have insurance) and who was close to the house. I have a nightmare that I will have the twins in the car on the way to the hospital. So I wanted to go to someone close to our house. I am going to call some more doctors tomorrow and see if I can get another appointment soon. I am also going to find out about getting a 4D ultrasound at a place that does them hear in town. If they take my insurance. Maybe we can at least see them and find out what they are and then I will go to another doctor.
I am really sorry to let everyone down. Sorry I got you all excited too. I hope I will have good news to share the next time I have an appointment. Hopefully I will have a better experience next time. Check back soon. :)
