My hyper little girl

So DH and I decided that this little girl is going to be a handful! She was such a pistol at the big u/s. She started out laying across my belly at the beginning of the u/s then by the time the tech went to do her measurements she went breech on us. So now I have to go back in 3w to get another level II u/s so we can get a better look at her little heart. Nothing is wrong. They just want to get all the views possible. Then today I had an appt with my OB and while listening to her hb on the dopplar he goes, "Wow, she's really active!" Her brother is cool as a cucumber but for some reason she's all over the place!

We had a great weekend of boating. My dr. said I really have to take it easy on that, so from now on, I definitely will. We had beautiful weather this weekend though so only a few bumps here and there. DH took it super easy. But we did A LOT of boating and I have the raccoon eyes to prove it. It's starting to go away though. Thank God! So embarassing.

We're narrowing down names. I'll probably change my mind hundreds of tmes but as of right now we're at Lu.ca.s (And.rew or M.icha.el) and Av.er.y R.ene.e. I think I've finally convinced DH that L.and.on just doesn't work. We'll see though. He likes to bring it up after a few beers to strangers and people that he hasn't seen in awhile. I hate boy names still. Lucas is the only one that I really like. Opinions are always welcome! DH likes to tell the world what names we have picked out and on Saturday night he told the bartender at some random hole in the wall bar in M.enas.ha, W.I. She said she didn't like Avery because it reminded her of some se.ri.al ki.lle.r named St.eph.en. A.ve.ry. I was like, "uh ok thanks for your input lady" Like I'm naming my kid after that guy! Weirdo.

Hope everyone had a nice long weekend.

Results are in...

Baby A is a Boy and Baby B is a Girl!!!! We couldn't be more excited. All their parts are there and they both measured exactly 19w2d. Which is what I am today. And they both are 11oz. The tech was shocked that they both measured exactly the same like that. She says that never happens. lol. The doc then came in and did confirm both sexes. So it's for sure. One of each! They're absolutely perfect! She was kicking him in the head. Too funny. She's going to be a handful I'm sure!

Just an Update

Hi Ladies, hope everyone had a great weekend. I know I did and I can't wait for the next one! We FINALLY pulled our boat out of storage this weekend. It was still too windy to get her on the water but at least we'll be all ready for next weekend. Yesterday DH and I just sat in it in the driveway. lol. We listened to our "boat tunes" cd and cleaned her up a bit. Made some inventory of what we needed to bring up on our next trip north for the summer. Ya know, towels, sunscreen, batteries, pillows and blankets (for when we do overnights). And DH is going to tweek the cd a bit. Somehow it's overloaded with Garth Brooks. Not exactly sure how that happened.

Thursday morning is our BIG day! I'll be 19w2d. I'm getting very anxious waiting. I think it's more the waiting to make sure they're both doing ok still though. I'm super excited about finding out what they are, don't get me wrong about that, but I really want to make sure they're both measuring ok. We didn't do any prenatal testing so this will be the best bet on making sure they look ok. So just a few more days of waiting. I'm thinking they're both ok. I'm getting pretty big and they're both moving around A LOT! If that's any indication then i'm good! But it will be nice to have the confirmation.

A very close friend of ours (she's practically family, DH's mom's boyfriend's daughter, if that makes sense. If DH's mom would just marry him already then she'd be DH's step sister) found out that she has breast cancer. It's also moving and is in her lymphnodes. Around Thanksgiving she had me feel a lump she had. I told her to go to the dr. immediately. She was scared and waited until May. Bad idea. She is now on a 6mos cycle of chemo, surgery, and radiation. We're all very scared about this since she waited so long. She's only 38 and an absolute sweetheart. We've grown very close since DH and I have been together. She had her first round of chemo last week and is doing "ok". It's only going to get worse for her though. So please, please get checked annually and if you think something is wrong. GO TO THE DOCTOR! We can only wonder how much better off she would have been if she went to the doc back in Nov. Now we just deal with what we're dealt and hope it's not too. Say a prayer for ladies.
I'll post again on thurs with our big update! :)

News

• First off, I want to give big hugs to all my ttc girls! It seems like there's quite a few of you going through some hard times right now. I'm praying for you girls and your sanity. I love you all so much and I know that I wouldn't be where I am today without you! So thanks for all of your love and support and know that you always have mine as well.
• Secondly, I felt my babies! So F'n awesome. I thought I had an itch on my stomach last Saturday then I realized it was an itch i couldn't scratch! lol. They were tickling me from the inside. Silly monkeys. Then I started doubting what I felt because it hadn't happened again. Well yesterday afternoon i started to scratch an itch again. Then it hit me! Babies! I felt them on and off all afternoon and early evening. I'm guessing it was the diet cherry dr. pepper that I was craving that set them off. No soda today though so we'll see if I can feel them again.
• 2 more weeks until we find out sexes. Ugh! It's draggin big time. And I wanted to give you ladies the link to mike's and my we.bsi.te. I just posted a be.ll.y p.ic there last night so you can check that out if you want. http://web.me.com/michael_a_anderson/Site/Blog/Blog.html
