We are currently in crunch mode to get ready for the arrival. Lots of pictures and updates below.<br />
<br />
Still feeling good for 33 weeks pregnant with twins. Moving slower and swollen feet and legs seem to be the only issues I am having. The girls are VERY active and are always kicking, punching and moving around. As FUN as being pregnant is, I must say, I am kind of ready to have these little ones out and meet them. :)<br />
<br />
Our last ultrasound was at 32 weeks. Baby A was measuring about 4.6 lbs and Baby B was around 3.13 lbs. The doctor estimated about 5 lbs each. So that is about 4 lbs more of baby than Sydney was at birth that I am carrying around. For sure feel it, but not horrible. The doctor said that twins are full term around 36 - 37 weeks (40 week for singleton), so anything after St Patty's Day is good! He also does not see then going anywhere anytime soon, so assuming all stays as is, we should make twin full term with these girls.<br />
<br />
I have also started weekly non-stress tests. They basically monitor the heart beats and measure the fluid in each amnionic sac. As well, I will start weekly doctor appointments next week so they can keep a close eye on me and the twins.<br />
<br />
Here are some fun images of the last few months, from growing belly to cool pictures of the babies.<br />

In trying to get everything done before their arrival, we did manage to buy a new car. It should arrive this Monday and give us enough room to get all 4 girls (yes, including Mochi) around in comfort! We are CLOSE on the house front. Put an offer on an amazing house this past week, but didn't get it. We still have 3 - 4 more weeks to focus on open houses and find another house of our dreams. Fingers cross all the stars align and we will at least be in escrow during the first month the girls are around.<br />
<br />
Should have a better idea of our birth plan next week after the Doctor's appointment. As one baby is heads up and the other is heads down, not really sure if we are going to be able to have a natural birth, might be on the c-section route, but should have a better idea next week.<br />
<br />
Well, a lot to update you all on, but still chugging along. :) Exciting stuff!!!<br />

Hope everyone had a nice holiday. I can't believe Christmas and New Years is behind us and we are already Mid January 2015. YIKES! That means we are closer to meeting the little twins. Exciting!!!! We have lots of good updates.<br />
<br />
We had a big 23 week heart ultrasound. They literally spend 1 hour looking at each babies heart to make sure all looks good. Twin A was not going to make it easy on them. She is the active one and was trying to avoid the ultrasound at all costs. She is for sure the mover! But, in the end, we got an A+ from the DR on both little ones hearts, so that was good news. Here are a few pictures of the growing belly (which is for sure growing) and some fun ultrasound images.<br />

Here are some photos from our 24 week ultrasound. The first image is just awesome. The foot you see at the top of the screen is Baby B's foot nicely kicking her sister, Baby A, in the face. I guess this is payback for all the kicking Baby A is normally doing to Baby B.<br />

Sydney is talking to my belly everyday and telling the twins she is very excited to meet them and be a big sister. It is very cute. We are starting to get our stuff all ready for the arrival just in case they decided to join us early. We have a few friends that have had twins in the recent years, so it has made it easy to get there double strollers, cribs, etc. Next big purchases, a new car that will fit all 3 kids and a new house that will fit all 5 of us, plus Mochi! So lots to still come in the next few months. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
We have another ultrasound this week, so I promise to be better and post pictures if we get some good ones. </div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Hope everyone had a wonderful holiday and enjoying the new year!!! More to come.</div>

Hope everyone had a wonderful time with friends and family.<br />
<br />
We are soooo excited to share, we made it to 20 weeks. We had a big ultrasound this past week where we saw the babies again. Looks like they are both growing like champs. We are just thrilled to see two healthy heart beats and active little ones. Here are a few good images from the ultrasound appointment.<br />

<br />We are just thrilled all looks good. The appointment also confirmed that they are about 99.9% sure they are both girls. Oh BOY! So it is offical, house full of females for Brad. <div>

Here is the growing belly. This is Pre Thanksgiving Turkey dinner, so maybe it is a little bigger now. But all is all, starting to have a belly. Fun to feel the babies move around a bit. I am sure they will start to become more active as the space gets tighter for them, but right know, they all seem happy.<table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center;"><tbody>

I am officially on maternity leave, so time to catch up and get ready for the arrival of Gummy.<br />
<br />
So gee, a lot has happen over the past few months. 20th High School Reunion, 2 baby showers, Brad's birthday (with a fun night out to see Billy Idol). So far, Gummy has been a total trooper and let us enjoy our last few months of freedom. WOOHOO! I have included some recent photos of our adventures.<br />

Gummy is doing well. Still anticipating a 6lbs maybe 7lbs Gummy. I am NOT complaining about that. Just finalizing the baby room. Will try and post pictures this week.<br />
<br />

Managed to strain my leg just a bit, but hey, what do you expect when you walk 40 miles and you are carrying around an extra person.<br />
<br />
Here are some fun pictures from the weekend. Top picture is around mile 15 on Day 1 and bottom picture is at the finish line after mile 40. <br />

It was a very cool event and so nice to have a good friend along to get through some of those difficult moments. Thank you all for your support.<br />

Next big adventure, my 20th High School Reunion. 2 weeks. Let's see how much bigger I can get.<br />
<br />
More to come!Cecilia Pirtlehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09594774526545009134noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3325993530758743382.post-47577976342958415182010-07-08T20:34:00.000-07:002010-07-08T20:34:01.377-07:008 months and countingI am shocked we are days away from 32 weeks. I can't believe we will be meeting little gummy in just under 2 months. AMAZING. Lots to catch everyone up on, so let us begin.<br />
<br />
Got another ultra sound at week 30. Here is the least creepy picture of the bunch. All looked good during the ultra sound, so all is good with the little one. Gummy is over 3 lbs, so they are thinking 7 - 8 lb baby. YIKES is about all I can say to that.<br />
<br />

We spent the 4th of July at some friends house. As you can see, I for sure look prego. I will spare you all with the word one of my coworkers called me this week. Needless to say, I am going on a diet for the remainder of the pregnancy.<br />
<br />

Also, this past week, Brad and I attended our labor classes. After hearing, watching and talking about labor for 6 hours, I am beyond overwhelmed and nervous. I asked Brad if we could back out now, the answer is NO. :( So needless to say, I will be having nightmares for the next 8 weeks. YIKES!<br />
<br />
And to round out the week, this weekend is the big Avon Breast Cancer walk. I will be walking 39 miles this weekend in honor of 5 amazing ladies that have survived breast cancer. I will be walking with a dear friend who unfortunately lost her mother to this horrible disease some years back. I am excited and nervous for challenge that lies ahead. I honestly think running a marathon is going to be easier than walking 39 miles. I will report back with pictures in the coming week.<br />
<br />
Well, I think that covers it. OH, we are official owners of an SUV! WOOHOO. The new family car should arrive in the coming weeks. I guess we are officially becoming a family. :) Mochi is very excited.<br />
<br />
Have a great weekend everyone.Cecilia Pirtlehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09594774526545009134noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3325993530758743382.post-71117793091362817792010-06-20T17:25:00.000-07:002010-06-20T17:25:40.688-07:00Happy Father's Day!Sorry for the lack of updates for the past few weeks.

Lots of exciting stuff. Had the first Baby Shower with some college girlfriends. Thanks Leigh and Noel for such a wonderful event. My good friend from college, Erin, is about 1 month ahead of me. Here is a picture from our shower June 13th. Gummy got some good stuff!!<br />

We took our first baby prep classes this week. Very cool and overwhelming all at once. Next classes will be child birth and then a tour of the hospital next week. Still a few months away, but the countdown is on. Doing more to the baby room, so hopefully more room pictures soon.<br />
<br />
Here are a few belly shots, 27 weeks and 29 weeks. Gummy is very active and looking forward to the Avon Breast Cancer walk in few weeks.<br />

We decided to start to make some progress on Gummy's room. As we are about 6 1/2 months (26 weeks), we felt it was time to start preparing.<br />
<br />
Here is a snapshot of the crib in the room. Still have a lot of work to do, but it is a starting point.<br />

I am amazed as to how fast time if flying by. Definitely feel little Gummy moving a lot these days. Still not big enough to see hands or feet move over the belly yet, but I assume in a another month we will be there.<br />
<br />
Had our monthly DR appt yesterday. Nothing exciting to update anyone on. Just waiting for the results from the diabetes test. Should hear early this week if we are in the clear. Also learned we will most likely not have any additional ultrasounds. So looks like our next viewing of Gummy will be in September. EXCITING!<br />
<br />
Here is the latest belly shot. I am trying to get more pictures of Brad and I actually prego to share. Hope to get some over Labor Day weekend. I am sure you will all find them more exciting then looking at my bare belly.<br />
<br />

We are at 22 weeks. Crazy. All is good on our end. Gummy is much more active, moving around as I type. The scary part is, Gummy is now up with me during my 6:30 AM conference calls, so I am HOPING I am not teaching bad sleeping habits. That would NOT be good.<br />
<br />
Nothing too exciting to report. Heading to the DR next week for the exciting diabetes test. Fingers crossed all goes will there.<br />
<br />
Here is a picture of the growing bump. For sure looking more prego.<br />

So that means the next 20 weeks will fly by and we will have a little baby for you all to meet.<br />
<br />
Had a chance to talk to the DR about the double placenta situation. She does not seemed concerned about this at all and said they sometime see this post birth. So better they know about it now so we can anticipate both during the birth. They are going to continue to monitor it, but said it should not affect Gummy at all.<br />
<br />
Here is another fun belly picture. Still growing. Gained about 8lbs to date, so not bad.<br />

Hope everyone is getting some nice spring weather. Enjoy!!!Cecilia Pirtlehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09594774526545009134noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3325993530758743382.post-23882942834987415972010-04-14T20:36:00.000-07:002010-04-14T20:36:02.836-07:00Big Ultrasound - Check!Well we went this week to have the big mid-pregnancy ultrasound. They look at the organs, legs, face, etc to make sure the baby is OK and has no issues. From what we saw and what the technician told us, all seemed great with the baby. We both turned our heads when they determined the sex, so it still remains a mystery and will until September. :)<br />
<br />
We did however find out some interesting news during the ultrasound as well. It seems that I have 2 placentas. This is not overly common, could have been caused from a twin that didn't make it early on, or sometimes the placenta has 2 lobes. Does not sound like a huge issue, just one more item for them to check of the list during the birth. The DR is going to monitor as we get closer to make sure all is OK. But sounds like no harm to little Gummy.<br />
<br />
Here is an updated picture of the growing belly. I have another DR appt next week, so more updates then.<br />

WOOHOO! We have a big couple weeks coming up. From our big ultrasound next week, to our first flight and to meeting the grandparents (the Yoder's), Gummy and crew will be on the move. <br />
<br />
All is going well this week. The belly is for sure growing, but still waiting to really LOOOK pregnant.<br />

Past 2 weeks have been VERY busy. Sorry for the missed post.<br />
<br />
Nothing too exciting to report. Just cruising along. We have our big ultrasound in a few weeks. At that point they will check out all the organs and do some measurements. We will continue to avoid the sex of the baby. Hopefully we can get through that ultrasound without seeing anything to ruin the surprise. :)<br />
<br />
Saw my DR last week. Heard the heart beat. All seems to be fine. Only gained about 4 lbs total in the past 4 months, so everyone is happy.<br />
<br />
Here is the growing belly. It is growing for those who are not believers. Had to go up one pant size, so just about ready to retire my regular jeans. :(<br />

Here is a new picture of the growing belly. Had to by some jeans a size bigger. Not really ready for maternity clothes yet, but my jeans are starting to get a little tight.<br />

No more, no less. So that is a huge relief. Looks like Baby Gummy passed its first test with flying colors. Now, the next few months are pretty much a waiting and growing game. <br />
<br />
The good news is we are offically in week 14, the second trimester. This week Gummy is the size of an orange and me, well, picture is below. <br />

We did get lucky and get an amazing 3D image of Baby Gummy today. Little one is sucking its thumb. AMAZING what technology shows these days. Looks like a pretty cute kid so far (minus the large head) :)<br />

We are offically into week 12. YEAH! Almost at the end of the first trimester. I must say, 3 months have FLOWN by. We have 2 big appointments this week. First, back to our OB who we have not seen in 2 months. We have a list of questions and we are just excited to get her feedback on Gummy's progress. Second, we have the CVS. As I am over 35, genetic tests are mandatory, so we have our big one this week. We tried 2 weeks ago, but got denied. So hopefully all goes well on Thursday and we can get this test behind us. Test results take about 2 weeks, so I am sure we will all be a little on edge until those come back. We will keep you posted.<br />
<br />
As for the growing belly, here you go. These have all been taken in the AM when the belly is not that big. Gummy is now the size of a large plum. Hope to get more ultrasound pictures on Thursday. <br />

I thought it was such a cute way to see progress throughout her fun adventure. As we have so many family and friends that live far away, we thought this would be a fun idea!<br />
<br />
Here is a picture of the belly at 11 weeks. Gummy is starting to take over some real estate in my belly. :)<br />

We are pregnant! When we first found out, we were told it was the size of a gummy bear - ever since we have called it "baby gummy" :) We are both very excited!!<br />
<br />
On 2/12/2010 (around 10 1/2 weeks) we had our second ultrasound. Gummy is about the size of a lime now. <br />
<br />
Here are some pictures and videos! So cool.<br />
