Well we are a partial TEAM BLUE :)

I had my 18 week check up this morning and both babies are growing nicely with a heartbeat of 140 for the both of them. I also caught my doctor in a real good mood and had him search for boy parts for me and YIPPEE SKIPPY we have a BOY :) The other baby is yet to be determined because all we could get a good glimse of was a cute dairy air :) So we are 50% ready to get the nursery started...I knew all along there was a little hockey player in there...Too excited for a little dimple faced mini Rob Oliver. Back to the nursery...we have picked out two colors and have painted them on the wall to decide and of course Rob likes one and I like the other ...moving on to crib shopping...is it really neccessary to have 50 billion cribs to choose from?!? I am not sure if you all are aware but Rob and I furniture shopping together is a NIGHTMARE. It took us forever to pick out our first couch. Now we are stuck deciding on what color and what type of crib and I all I want to do is buy a stinking CRIB already. So needless to say the twins are still without beds. Our next ultrasound appointment is on June 22nd so we should have a good solid answer on the other babies sex but I am making an early determintation and saying BOY..you all heard me I think we shall be having 2 boys...This weekend a trip to Eastern Washington University is a MUST I need Eagle gear for the little ones. I cannot wait to shop for BOYS :)

So ready for June

I cannot take the waiting..I am dying to know the sex of these babies RIGHT NOW! I know that back in the olden days you wouldn't find out until they were born but I can know now..but I have to wait. I had my first "flutter" on Saturday. I was laying down taking a nap when I rolled over I felt like I had suddenly trapped a bird in my tummy. It was the strangest feeling...I wonder who it was that was kicking me. I am anxious to name these little monsters as I am talking to them quite a bit more frequently these days. I ask them politely to be real nice to mommy. I definitely have a tummy now so the secret is out I am definitely carrying more than a beer belly it MUST be babies. I am however getting nervous about how LARGE I could possibly get by the end of this journey. Hopefully by next Thursday I will have more news. I go in for my next check up next Friday morning. Hurry up June 22nd I cannot handle the anticiaption. Oh and wish us luck we are crib shopping this weekend...These little ones are already expensive...get ready daddy :)

Dear Waist I miss you!

It has been awhile since I have posted a recent update so here goes...I had my 15 week check up last Wednesday which was uneventful after sitting in the waiting room an hour before heading back to the exam room. Ah the joys of quality healthcare :) I have officially gained 2 pounds although I definitely don't look like it. I look like I have swallowed a pony keg that unfortunately I am unable to tap at the moment. I also found out that instead of having our BIG ultrasound at 20 weeks like the rest of the pregnant women out there we get to wait until 23 weeks...yup June 22nd is our BIG day to finally find out what we have cookin' in the oven. Rob and I have to wait to see the specialist which wanted us to come back at that time to check for malformation which can happen with IVF pregnancies apparently...so hopefully that malformation dosen't involve the gender?!?! I picked out some color swatches this weekend for the nursery but I really want to know what we are having before I go hog wild. And I bit the bullet....

I broke down and ventured the mall scene this weekend in hopes of finding materniy clothing...I did finally find a pair of Jeans and some capri's...This nice lady helped my figure out what the hectic to do with this strange clothing and then looked at me...How far along are you anyway..me in the RED FACE oh 16 weeks but it's with twins if that makes sense of the belly :) Anywho I might stick to online shopping for awhile and send back what I hate ...our visit my friend Ali to beg for her collection of maternity wear...She was always better at the shopping scene than me....Ok so the doctor recommended us taking this birthing course this summer but everyone I have talked to said that it is unneccessary...I don't want to get freaked out by some nasty birthing video's and practice breathing methods...so I am trying to decide if I should just forgo the class and hope that I have a FABULOUS nurse to walk me through..I mean hopefully by the time I regret that I didn't take the birthing class the epidural will kick in right? hmm just a thought...
