Good Days and Bad Days

I was aware of the changes that would happen and very aware that my body would be changing. I wouldn't change any of it for anything in the world. There are days where I think I'm not going to make it through the day because of my being sick. The only time i seem to feel better is when I'm either asleep or in the shower/bath. Yesterday i was in the grocery store picking up some stuff for Justin (he's a little sick) and I haven't had any serious problems with smells until yesterday. I practically ran through the poultry, seafood, and other meats sections. People were looking at me and tilting their heads wondering what was wrong with me. As if it couldn't get any worse, i ran into someone from work and they wanted to talk. I didn't know whether to cut her off mid sentence or say excuse me and run the the bathroom. I finally hurried the conversation and made it to the "safe" zone........the check out line.
There are good days and there are bad days. Unfortunately, this was a BAD day. I was talking to my Mom over Christmas and told her that some times it's so hard to believe that there are two actual babies growing inside of me. Some days I scare myself and think to myself somethings wrong. I have been assured that I will know if or when something is wrong. I see now why my mother and all mothers worry about their children. It doesn't start when they are born. It starts when they are itty bitty. I won't ever make fun of my mother again for being over protective!! i completely understand what she feels like.
We have 9 more weeks until we find out what our babies are going to be. YAY!!! I know our families are tired of waiting on buying baby clothes and we are ready to put our nursery together. Keep your prayers going for us and have a great NEW YEAR!!!!

8 Weeks


Well, the appointment went well today. We found out that even though my projected due date is July 20, 2010, since we are having multiples it looks like we will be delivering on or around June 15, 2010. This will be the week after my best friends wedding in which I am Matron of Honor. WHEW!! I was so worried that I wouldn't be able to make it. Everything else is good and we are tracking my size by taking little snapshots every four weeks. The one just posted is at 8 weeks. Thanks for all of your prayers and continue to pray for us please.

BIG NEWS!!!!

This is not unusual for those who follow our blog, but I have not been keeping up with it like I had intended to. So, here it goes! The news is out and is a little old but as most of you know Justin and I are expecting a miracle. Not just any miracle but two miracles. We were expecting three to begin with but sadly lost one in the process. We know that we have our third miracle in heaven and are so thankful for the two that God has decided to give us.

Justin and I want to thank everyone for your prayers, concerns, phone calls, emails, texts, and cards. Most of you know by now that we kept our getting pregnant a secret for a long time (about 2 years). We saw different specialists and finally moved on to a different fertility medication and tah-dah....here we are. We were so shocked to begin with and didn't expect any results the first round, but after countless prayers and positive thinking, we our with "children."

Our "projected" due date is July 20, 2010. I am doing fine other than the constant fatigue and nausea and Justin is on cloud nine. He has been AMAZING throughout this entire process and I couldn't ask for a better husband. I guess all that we have been through has made us more aware of what we are able to do and accomplish .

We go back to the doctor on Friday, December 18th for an ultrasound. We have been traveling to Montgomery every week for the past 8 weeks in a row for ultrasounds to make sure everything is okay and we have been let go and turned back over to my regular doctor in Dothan. Though we will miss seeing those awesome ladies at the satellite office in Montgomery, the drive is a killer and we have had to miss several days of work. We are 9 weeks this week and everything is right on track, as of our 8 week check up last week.

The babies have very fast and strong heartbeats along with arms, legs, and BIG heads (they take after Justin...hehehe). We also got to see them move for the very first time last week. I'm tearing up now just thinking about it. We can not tell you how much we appreciate your support and love through this stressful and trying time. Please continue to pray that everything continues to go well with the pregnancy and our lives as we enter the journey to parenthood.

I will post pictures and updates weekly from now on!! I'm so sorry about the delay. Have a great week!!
