Change of plans

Yesterday was our Level II u/s.  It was so exciting to see our babies on the screen again.  They look like real babies! LOL  About halfway through the process, though, we got a surprise.  It seems that Baby 2, the one that was a bit shy last time, is actually a boy! :-)  So it looks like we're going to get one of each. :-)

Baby Boy- Lucas Grey (?)

Baby Girl- Kyla Rose

Tomorrow can't get here fast enough!

So I happened to look over at our gender poll and see that boy/girl and girl/girl are neck and neck.  Wouldn't it be funny if we find out tomorrow that we're having boy/boy?! LOL  Somehow I doubt it, but you never know!

Anyway, as LD has said, I'm so super excited about tomorrow.  I feel like it's been forever since I've seen her or the babies (it's been since Thanksgiving!).  It's been pure torture!  At least I have the best GS in the world who sends me pics, calls us so we can hear the heart beats, and IMs me almost every day (except lately I've been going to bed WAY too early and missing her. :-( ).  I'm starting to look for nursery stuff (and amazingly Nathan isn't balking! LOL) and thinking about starting a registry.  My sister is planning a shower for us, so that's getting me pretty excited too.   I guess things are starting to feel a little more real (though still not completely).  

I told the women at the Mothers of Multiples meeting that I went to last Thursday (I can't believe I'm allowed to belong to a mother's group now!) that I had been reading tons of parenting twins books.  They all said "Stop reading!  It'll only scare you."  But I had to explain to them, it's the only way I can feel connected and like this is really happening.  If I don't spend time reading and focusing on the babies, I have nothing to remind me that they're coming.  Unlike all of them with their preggo bellies.  Once I explained they nodded and said that it made sense.  It's funny, but until I explained it to them I don't think I even realized why I was doing all of this reading!  Funny how the subconscious works!

Today we are celebrating my grandfather's 90th birthday (it was last Tuesday).  I'm so excited that he is still here to meet my babies.  At the same time I'm a little nostalgic that Nathan's grandmother passed away in December and will not get to meet her great grandchildren.  At least she was alive long enough to find out that her grandson would get to be a dad after all.  I know she is up there with George, smiling down at the miracle that God has provided for us all...

Is it the 19th yet?!?!

Well I ran out of lovely Zofran a couple days ago, so I called the dr's office and the nurse called more in. When I went to pick it up, the pharmacist said they renewed the prescription; however, they changed the dosage. They had me on 4 mg and upped it to 8 mg! She said 4 mg wouldn't do much, so she's wondering why they didn't have me on 8 mg to begin with. Hmmmm...me too! Well, anyway, the 8 mg is wonderful! I don't always have an appetite, but I am definitely eating more now and the nausea is gone. YAY! :)

I found the babies' heartbeats again earlier today. The one I think may be a girl was at 145 and the one I think may be a boy was at 140. Only 8 more days until we find out if I'm right on their genders...hopefully. The one I think is a girl is very calm and laid back, kinda like Niki. The other is a little stinker. He/she moves all over the place and apparently does NOT like me to listen to his/her heartbeat. I'll find it and then he/she moves. I think that one must be like Nathan...lol.

I took another belly pic. I sure don't think I look as big in the mirror as I do when I take a pic. Why is that? Oh...and yes, I chopped the hair off. Between school and the pregnancy, it had to go! And I had to take the pic myself since David was at work. (It gave me a chance to play with my new phone anyway...lol.)
