AND THE NAMES ARE......

Ty Alexander and Isabella Rose! We are calling them Ty and Isi for short. So I had my ultrasound on Friday and the babies were so funny! They were playing with each other by kicking the wall that goes between them. Ty got tired of it after a while so he turned around. Isi is quite the mover. She moves during the day a lot and then Ty moves at night. That isn't a good sign, I think. That means Ty will be up at night more! Ty likes to suck his thumb and Isi likes to put her hands folded under her chin when she's resting. I am getting sooooo excited to hold them!!!!
BTW, their ultrasound looked great! Their hearts are perfect and there are no markers for Downs. Isi turned head down which is good, as long as she stays that way.

The Birds and The Bees

So Jason has started his sex ed in school so we were sitting around talking about whether or not we should have "The Talk" with Bryce. We referred to it as "the birds and the bees". Bryce looks at us and says, "Bees? I don't want to talk about bees. I HATE Bees!" Rob and I looked at each other and said, "Yeah, he's not ready."
Then here was Rob trying to tell Jason about marriage. "Son, it's like you get to go to only one cafe for the rest of your life. If they're not serving dinner, you don't get dinner.....No matter how badly you want to go to the McDonalds across the street to get that Big Mac."
I bust out laughing! Nice....

THE VERDICT IS IN

I had my ultrasound last week and they were able to tell me the gender of the babies. YAY! So here are some pictures to help. :)

They are each in their own sack and everything looks great so far. They are both measuring 17 weeks. Next ultrasound they will take a closer look at the hearts to make sure there are no defects. Now Rob and I have to come up with names. I already had them picked out but Rob wanted a say in the matter. :) So stay tuned for that!

MAY CARD SWAP

I thought I would post a picture of my card for my May card swap. This one was a "Not Your typical Card" card. The first picture is of the card closed. After you pull up the card pops into a box. I put a strip of flowers on the front so that when it pops into a box the flowers stand up. This is a fun card for kids and very easy. I had to make 10 of them. The hardest part was cutting around the flowers, but it really only took me an hour to do all 10, from start to finish.

RESULTS OF BLOOD TEST

So I called the doctor today because it has been two weeks since they took my blood and I was getting a little worried. He just called and told me that I have been exposed to Fifth Disease in the past so I am immune and I haven't been recently exposed. YAY! Everything looks great! That is a huge relief....Thanks to everyone for your prayers so far and keep praying for me!

I didn't mention......

So I didn't mention that the reason I went to the doctor is because I have been exposed to Fifth Disease (you can google it). I had never heard of it, but someone sent an e-mail saying that her child had it and my kids had the symptoms. They also said that it is dangerous to pregnant women. They took some blood to see if I am immune to it, but I haven't heard anything yet! Don't you think they would get a rush on that or something? Anyway, I am just nervously awaiting the results......
While I am at it, does anyone have a good idea for a new license plate? Like 8WSENUF or 9ISBTTR......

PS Due date is October 27th...that is if I make it to full term for twins.
