20 weeks and COUNTING !!!!

Time seems to really be FLYING by these days ... possibly 16 more weeks to go!! This past week has definitely been the best week so far. Feeling both BABIES kick inside of me has been AMAZING. Its like I feel kicks all over .. or punches maybe, flips. Im not exactly sure what it is but I LOVE it.

This past weekend Stella and Harper recieved tons of new outfits ... I need to start taking pictures of each "set" so that I can share. I cant believe how many outfits are in the closet already ... everytime I see something I feel the NEED to buy. I'm so excited to start organizing their things and preparing for their arrival!

I am definitely showing these days, working with small children that I see on a monthly basis, they remind me just how BIG you're getting Ms Jessica! :) I'm loving it!

We have our 20 week ultrasound this Thursday and we are beyond excitedd. Its amazing to see how much they change each visit. We've definitely been spoiled by all the ultrasounds.

Once the hubby is awake we're going to venture to Buy Buy Baby to start on our closet organizers.

Twin's MOM

.... Busy MOM

Its been a very eventful couple of weeks ....



Mom and Jack celebrated their anniversary on March 18th so we all had a MINI vacation to Myrtle Beach. Gary was unable to go because of his work schedule ... BOOO!! We had had a blast though ... Mom and I are very consumed into baby shopping now so we shopped for hours at the Carter's outlet. I will have to take some picture to show Harper and Stella's cute outfits !

Last Tuesday, Gary and I spent the whole day cleaning. I mean could I possibly be nesting already? We cleaned our carpets and prepared for the delivery of our baby furniture ...




This past Friday March 25th was Linsey's Birthday :)



Elizabeth, Me and Linsey at the Olive Garden.....

Gary and I went to Linsey's "Half of a Century" party Saturday night at Compadres ...

Sleep ... oh how I miss thee .....

So I have been awake for several hours now and its only 6:46 am :( and I dont even have to be at work today!! For the last week or so I have been unable to sleep. Such a drastic change from before I couldnt get enough sleep.... enough about be being sleep deprived ..
Yesterday was a very LONG day, I worked almost 12 hours wheww and for a pregnant woman that was exhausting!!
Gary and I have been in a HUGE debate about naming our BABIES, I think we have finally made a decision and I cant wait to share with everyone. Friday I have an OB appointment which I am very excited about, I wonder if they will do another ultrasound. I have been so spoiled, its like everytime I go they offer to scan me. Of course I have never turned it down brings tears to my eyes (tears of joy of course) everytime we see them squriming around!!!
Week 15/16 belly bump picture to come .. I have been very slack. Off to make breakfast. I hope everyone has a great day !!

It's a BOY and a GIRL

Gary and I had a very exciting weekend.. Friday night I could hardly sleep, we were scheduled for a 4D ultrasound Saturday at 9:00 to determine the gender of ours BABIES!! Saturday morning FINALLY came and of COURSE I hadnt been sick in several days ... it was back the morning sickness started all over again!! I was sick, very sick. Maybe it was anxiety .. because of the ultrasound! Eventhough we have had several "GUESSES" of what the twins might be ... we would know for sure this day!!

These are a few pictures from ultrasound :

Weeks 5 thru 15

So I cant seem to catch up all the weeks that I have missed "BLOGGING". So i am going to try to sum up the last ten weeks in one post...

Weeks five thru twelve were crazy. I have never been so sick in my life. Who knew that being pregnant could make you loose 12 lbs. It didnt matter what time of day it was or what I ate .... I woke up throwing up and went to bed throwing up .. But seeing our sweet babies at almost every ob visit made throwing up for hours before the visit worth it ...

I seem to get my weeks mixed up but between weeks twelve and thirteen I started feeling worse .. not just throwing up ... It was a Sunday afternoon and I felt like I could hardly move. I woke up early that Monday morning and headed straight to the OB. After blood work and urine cultures I found out I had a kidney and bladder infection, I was admitted to the LABOR and DELIVERY floor!! Talk about SCARY, but I kinda think it was a true reality check for whats to come !!

48 hrs ....

So 48 hours felt like the longest two days of my life ... without my amazing husband and supportive friends I dont know what I would have done it. The phone finally rang that Wednesday morning .... HCG levels were very high 1450 to be exact. I didnt know whether to be releaved or still to worry.. a couple of days went by and Gary and I went in for a second ultrasound, thinking we werent going to be able to see anything the ultrasound began .... I think I was kinda dazed and confused ... I kept thinking we were about to hear horrible news. As I layed there pondering my thoughts ... Gary had this very estranged look on his face ... then it came .. the ultrasound had moved closer so that he could see the screen more clearly. He kept repeating, can you please go back to the previous screen, I kept thinking what does he see ..there it was TWO tiny little sacs with TWO heart beats. It was amazing, the best feeling I think I have ever felt.



5 weeks and 5 days !!!

Catching up ....

So here it goes, I have been telling myself I would start updating my blog for months now ...

So on Monday, December 13th my life changed forever. Gary and I had spent the weekend in Charlotte with my Dad, we enjoyed a nice weekend at the Falcons game. Monday we drove home of course making Gary stop at every outlet mall between Greenville and Charlotte. We got home around 1:30 that day. I had a regular GYN appointment at 4 just a check up.
So trying to make light of the fact that we had made the decision two months prior to go off of BC. I thought this just might be the day, I took an at home pregnancy test. I really didn't expect a positive test result. As I screamed from the bathroom to Gary ... WHAT DOES TWO PINK LINES ON A PREGNANCY TEST MEAN ?? Frantically he said it a REALLY excited voice, I'm not 100 percent sure, usually the nurses in the ER tell me the pregnancy test results! So we took another test, thinking we would get a different answer ... same TWO pink lines!!!
AHHH so excited ... I headed to my gyn appointment so excited to tell my OB we were pregnant.



Only to get devastating news at the OB, she asked me numerous questions, questioning if I was really pregnant or not. They did blood work and she said she would call me in 24 to 48 hours with the results. She sent me home with tear filled eyes thinking we had an ectopic pregnancy. How could this be ... how could we have gotten so excited just to be torn apart ... I don't think I slept for the next 48hrs ....
