Today...

Took off from work because I was at school for like 13 hours...so I was completely worn out and stuff. Feeling nauseated today, but hopefully that goes away...felt some of those braxtons hick's contractions the past couple days...fun fun :)

There is my little update...isn't it exciting? :)

Registry Info

Everyone keeps asking us where we registered...and we finally did it :) Go to http://www.target.com/registry/baby/014399700354229 to get to our registry. Honestly didn't know what all to add...but some of the stuff is fun :)

Love you guys!
Shannon and Jake

Ultrasound Jan. 19th

The visit went well. They said everything was great. I was also asked if I wanted to be put on leave, because they normally put twin moms on leave between 20-24 weeks and I declined and told them to ask me at the next visit. The dr. just didn't want be to be worn out. Each baby is 9.4 inches and Baby A (Ava) is 11 ounces and Baby B (Ireland--yep I think we are changing the spelling) is 10 ounces.

Here are the pics from the visit.

New Dates Wanted

So, here is the deal...we went to the doctor and he informed us that Shannon would be lucky to make it past 35 weeks. Here is what I am proposing- everybody pick new dates and forget about the old ones because there was a failure to communicate. Our new dates are:

Shannon- 5-15

Jake- 5-16

Another thing...anybody that wants to take a stab at what their future professions are going to be after I took this ultrasound. I just don't see what is so hard about taking an ultrasound...I did this one in 2 minutes. Where is my $300?

Week 19

We go to the doctor this week on Thursday and then we go on the 19th to the Maternal Fetal Medicine place. I think we will be going to them every 2 weeks so they will be checking on the fluid in the membranes. If it gets too thin, the twins (Ava and Irelyn), might have a chance to get the TTTS. I don't think it will happen, but it is better to be watched. :)

Things are going well. I don't feel as sick and have more energy, though I notice my stomach is getting bigger! I have to wear maternity clothes or at least more loose clothes to feel more comfortable!

Jake and the parents are helping out a bunch as always. Jake is always getting me stuff to eat and drink and carries everything...so sweet!

I will update you on the dr. appointments!

WELCOME IDA AND EDNA!

A big fat welcome to Ida Jo and Edna Dee! How lucky to get two girls! Just a few rules.....no pink and no bows! Just because they are girls doesn't mean they have to wear pink or velcro bows and especially not a handband with bows (so ghetto)! Now let's all join in and sing a lil somethin from Motley Crue.........

We went to the Maternal Fetal Medicine place again today and they said everything seemed fine so far...I think we will be going every 2 weeks to them from now on...we have another appointment with our regular Dr. on the 15th...

And the results are in!!!

Both are (drumroll please).....Girls!




Weighing in at 8 and 6 ounces.

As you look at the photos...you will notice two arrows pointing at Baby A and Baby B's Va-Jay-Jays....Enjoy!
