Busy, busy.

I have been so busy:) Good though, passes the weeks until I get to hold my girls. I did my sister-in-law's bridals, then shot my brother-in-law's wedding, got some sewing done, doctor appointments, then all the usual crap like cleaning and grocery shopping, haha. Anyways, it has been an eventful week and a half.

I am behind on the editing of the wedding, but they are honeymooning for two weeks, so I got time, right? I didn't realize how much work it was to shoot a wedding. Amazing experience, and fun, and all that... but wow. Maybe it is also because I am six months preggo? Yeah, that could contribute a little. I was able to use Ben's uncles camera for the wedding, which is way better than mine, so it was pretty exciting. (for me anyways, no one else cared, haha)

Went to the doctor the other day and everything is looking good. I have the lowest risk type of twins, so that is nice. Though he said after my next visit I will be seen twice a month until thirty ... two? (I think, maybe 34) weeks then it will be weekly. That is just my regular ob, not my specialist. So in the end I will end up seeing a doctor twice a week?! At least now I have been able to space them out so it is every 3-4 weeks. And I know I shouldn't complain because it is neat that I get to have so many ultrasounds, but man, they go on for so long! (at the MFM) It takes at least 45 minutes with the u/s tech and then the doctor comes in and checks it all again. They do really in depth measurements to look for growth or changes from the last time. I guess that is what I get for being high risk . I have had six so far, one at each visit. So with lots more visits ahead=lots more u/s. Though at least I am able to know they are healthy and growing correctly! Small price to pay for peace of mind. Thanks for putting up with my rambling:) Though I guess I don't know anyone actually read it all, hahaha.

Happy St. Patrick's Day!

The kids woke up to a note from "their friend, the leprecauhn". Abby was so excited. She read it to Jack at least ten times! The silly leprecauhn hid the bar stools in the bathtub, turned their milk green, left them a box of Lucky Charms, and green cupcakes. Jack hated the milk at breakfast time. He cried if it got near him. haha. Well, for lunch he was excited for it.

This is my adorable niece. I just wanna pinch her cheeks all the time:) I watch her on Tuesdays and I decided to sew while she napped instead of cleaning my house. I am not regretting my decision, haha.

Bridals.

I took my brother-in-law and soon to be sister-in-law's bridal pictures this weekend. It was fun:) I would love to post them all, or some more, but I will let them be a surprise:)

My appointment.

So... I keep picking the wrong day to go in... oh well, I guess. I got right back in a room and asked the nurse if I was supposed to be scheduled for an u/s (secretly hoping to talk them into it so that I could maybe get a chance to find out the genders;) knowing the doctor said last time he likes to do one every appt until after 20 weeks because then he can make positive he is getting both heartbeats. She said she would go ask the doctor and left my door ajar. I had hope. Ten minutes went by and my door was shut without a word. My heart sank a little. An HOUR later the doctor comes in with a doppler and I said, "darn I was hoping to find out the genders today, but that's okay maybe next time." He thought about it for a minute and said "let's see what I can do because I want to make sure to get the seperate heartbeats." I half heartedly said "I know you are busy, so it isn't a big deal, I can find out next time." He decided to try and get me into an u/s room, but it was VERY busy. So... THIRTY minutes later I got changed to an u/s room... This happened last time, where I wasn't scheduled for one but the doc wanted one, but at least then I got right in.

I got in the room and the doctor was right there. So it began. He checked the heartbeats, and they looked good. One baby was head down and the other is transverse right under my ribs but they both had their butts by each other. He checked the gender of one and then the other. Then he said they were moving around so much he wanted to check again. So he did. And again, and again. He went back and forth as quickly as he could so he made sure he was seeing two different ones. We were in there less than ten minutes and he said they had changed position at least twice. I guess there is enough room in there... for now, haha.

Oh, by the way... TWO GIRLS!!
