23weeks!!

Sorry I have neglected my blog, we were away on vacation in the Poconos. It was wonderful! I have lots of news and I will start with the most wonderful news of all.

We left for vacation last Saturday the 16th. At 11:30pm I received a phone call from my mom that my dad was getting a liver transplant!! This was the most blessed news our family could have ever received. At 4:30am my dad went in for surgery and came out at 11:30am. He is doing well and getting better every day. Doctors said he was only days away from dying. We are very thankful that another family in their time of sorrow loosing a family member chose to donate their loved ones organs and in turn saved my dads life. So to that family whom ever you are we thank you from the bottoms of our hearts and hope you find comfort in the ultimate gift you gave.

I had my level II ultrasound on the 14th and both babies look wonderful!! And said they are measuring on target. And no we didn't find out what they are.

Well vacation was very nice and fun. We went with Bruce's whole family which their were 10 adults and 10 children altogether. With 6 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms it really was a great place for all of us to stay. Only thing that put a hamper on things for me was the fact the my feet swelled to an enormous size which left it almost impossible for me to walk, so I just hung around the house and read and knitted.

School here begins on Tuesday. Hard to believe summer is just about gone. Josh has started flag football and Sam is in full swing with field hockey. the routine around here is nice to have again.

Dr. appt

Yesterdays doctors appt went well. I saw another doctor as my doctor is on vacation. Soon after I got to my appt. the doctor had to go to a delivery, so I waited. It was about 2 hours when I got to see her and all looked great with the twins. Baby A (aka Frack) is head down so thats who is hitting me in the bladder, Baby B (aka Frick) is breech and higher up, thats whose head is in my ribs! Next week is the big level II ultrasound.

20w 3d

Well it has been a very busy 2 weeks. My dad became very ill last Tuesday and was taken by ambulance to our local community hospital. I met my mom there, and while there my dad began to have seizures. It was the scariest thing I have ever seen! They decided he would be better served at a big hospital in the city, so my dad was helicoptered to the Hospital of the University of Pennsylvania. He was in Neuro ICU for 2 days where they found he had fungal meningitis. He he now on the GI floor because they are also treating him for his Hepatitis C. He is doing so much better and he he talking, which is so wonderful to hear since he couldn't talk for 2 days after his seizures. Please keep him and my family in your prayers as this my be a long road to recovery.

We are in our final weeks until school starts less than 3 weeks now. Time is just flying! We are going on vacation in just over a week to the Poconos. It should be a nice cool and relaxing time before the huslte and buslte of school starts.

I'm starting to tire easy and have to take a nap every day at some point. The twins are becoming more active and let me know they are in there. I love every kick and punch! I have hit the half way mark and look at my belly and can't believe its going to get alot bigger LOL!!! I have a doctors appt tomorrow and then next Thursday my level II ultrasound which should be neat to see.

18weeks 3days

Time is starting to fly. Samantha went to field hockey camp this week and had a great time staying in the dorms with her other team mates. I think it was a great experience for her both socially and field hockey wise. Aubreigh missed her big sister alot and was so happy to pick her up today!

My doctors appt went well on yesterday and they both look great! I did have to ask him what I could so I can sleep I haven't been sleeping at all!! So he said I could take tylenol pm and that I did last night since it had been a week since I have slept more then 2 hours. Oh sleep was wonderful!!

16w 3d

Sorry I didn't get to post pictures last week of the twins, I didn't get a great shot of them to post. This week however I have 2 great pictures one of each of them. Also a belly shot of me, gee I didn't think I was any bigger until I compared the last picture to this weeks. At my doctors appt today he said they both look great. Yeah!! I have now gained 13lbs. and I honestly think its all in the belly. Kids are all doing great and enjoying summer. July is our down month before all the sports start up again.

14w 3d

Well I'm 14 weeks 3 days today and summer is in full swing around here and so is mom's taxi. Samantha has started training 3 days a week for field hockey and will be going to overnight camp at the end of July. We got all of her goalie gear, geesh foam padding is expensive!! Jac says she doesn't want to play field hockey this year but instead run cross country. Josh will start flag football the begining of August. And Aubreigh well she gets to be the cheerleader for her brother and sisters.





I have a doctors appt today so hopefully I will be able to post a picture of the twins later.

Ultrasound 11w 5d

This is the latest ultrasound of the twins. It was so much fun watching them one would kick the other then the other would kick back. Sibling rivalry starting already LOL Its amazing how you can pick out details already. We have also decided not to find out what we are having.
