Well as it turns out its a good thing they did an early glucose test. I failed. I have to go in Friday to a three hour glucose test. I guess you go in, fasted for 8 hours, drink the stuff again and they take your blood once an hour for three hours. If you fail two of the three you have gestational diabetes...

16, 17 weeks!

Friday was such a fun day! We got there right before 2 and met outside. While Jason won't admit it, I think he seemed anxious. I definitely was! I got to talk Joel on the way there which was a good distraction.
They took us back right away, we got to see all my favorites so I was excited for them to meet Jason.
I had to do an early glucose test ( because of the pcos I'm at high risk for gestational diabetes) so I had to drink the gross orange stuff. while we were waiting for that to get in my system she did the ultrasound. It was anatomy and the sexes. Both babies measured a couple days big. Baby A turned out to be a boy, which was so exciting! And i thought " well at least whatever happens I know Jason is happy" not that he really cared either way. Then Jason was joking with Marissa (who has two girls) about girls and how they are drama etc. Then she says " are you ready?" and I yelled "IT'S A GIRL!!" she said "yes it's a girl" I started patting J's head (it was all I could reach) saying "I knew it, I knew it, it's perfect" I was SO extatic! I truly did not care. I only ask for full term healthy babies, but in a perfect world it doesn't get better then that! His heart rate was 160 and hers was one 150. So far they both look perfect. They will do an other anatomy ultrasound at week 20 when they are bigger and they can see everything better.
Jason immediately started texting, we were so excited! After the ultrasound we had to wait a while for my nurse practioner, if anyone could hear our conversation I'm sure they were cracking up. We talked about everything from name and nursery ideas to sports they might play! It was pretty funny!
Friday I was seriously on cloud nine! It made everything more real. I was way too excited to sleep Friday night! Sunday, we ventured into the nursery. It was of course bitter sweet, but we just stayed focused on the future and the positive so we had fun looking through
everything and talking about all of our ideas. We have a pretty good start, and then we looked at stuff on line and picked out bedding. I love it! We are so excited!
As far as the pregnancy goes, no more nausea thankfully! I still stuggle with dinner, sometimes a couple bites is all I can do. I've been eating a lot during the day so it helps. Nothing really ever sounds good still, but it's getting better!
I go every two weeks now so they can continue to watch cervix length, and they will always check the babies. I love it! As we approach the scarybtime they will have me come once a week for peace of mind. My next appointment is the 5th.
I can't wait for December, I just pray for a smooth, healthy and non stressful few months!

ITS ALMOST TIME! Im so excited!  Its going to seem so much more real,  and I'm equally as excited jason will be there today!
I felt so loved to this morning when I woke up to 10 text messages! Everyone is just as excited as us its adorable!

Im so excited for Friday! Not only to find out what they are but for Jason to be there with me and get to see the ultrasound. I LOVE to see them and watch them move, its so amazing!  Pregnancy is such a miracle, and its unbelievable how fast they grow and change!  The last ultrasound J saw, they still were little bumps with beating hearts. Now they actually look like babies! Its so fun, and I have pictures of them as embryos in the incubator to now.
I love it!
Although this weekend made me extra nervous!  Im trying so hard to focus on the positive, its a little hard to control the anxiety sometimes. That was a little too much into the past. Im trying just to trust its all going to be good. Im limiting activity, getting rest, staying out of the heat and hydrated.... 100oz of water a day is A lot!!

Follow up

I called my Dr first thing yesterday morning, and saw them at 11. I got to see for myself that everything looks good. The babies were active,  one actually kicked the other one in the head as we were watching. The doctor watched her do the ultrasound,  and he felt like everything looked good. Today is my last day of bedrest and I will attempt to work tomorrow, assuming it doesn't cause more bleeding. As long as I don't have anymore they are not concerned. Ultimately I have to limit activity and any heat exposure. (Even though I haven't done anything is the sun yet this summer im super sensitive to the heat, even just being in a hot room makes me feel like poop!)
Im a high maintenance pregnant girl! But ill do whatever it takes it's only for a little while, and absolutely worth whatever I need to do! Im SO thankful everything is ok I hope it stays that way!!

ER visit

I spent a nerve wracking 5 hours in the ER last night.
I went to dinner with my friend Jenn and as were leaving I felt a gush,  so I asked her to go to the bathroom with me and make sure everything was okay before she left me. (Jason is gone this weekend ). Sure enough I was bleeding, so she took me to the hospital. We Started to head toward skyridge as I called obx, they sent us psl instead. She said my doctor's couldn't take care of me there, (even though i never saw them anyway) so we had what seemed like the longest drive ever downtown. I just prayed the whole way.
I still can't believe it happened.
The Obx nurse said something about them sending ob down to er, which never happend. They put us in a room and it still had blood in the vacuum cup on the wall, things on the counter and I asked it was safe to assume the sheets are clean,  disgusting!
The  Doctor did an exam to  check stitches and make sure my cervix was closed. He ordered an ultrasound which we had to wait 2 hours for. Then she finally comes to get me and she tells me I wont be able to see anything and she won't be able to say a word, ill have to wait for whoever to read them. Are you kidding! ! She does internal and external,  not saying a word just making expressions. She wouldn't even at least tell me if there were heartbeats.  As she's taking me back to the room she tells me it will only be 10 minutes. 2 hours later, and after we called a nurse 4 times, the dr comes back.
Now it is about two in the morning, and he says there is good fetal heart tones on both babies (thank god) and he has consulted with the obx dr on call, baby A's placenta is over my cervix and the placenta moving can cause bleeding. This is called placenta previa,  which essentially means bedrest and a c section if the placenta doesn't move up. I could care less if I have a c-section. I would just really like a non stress, no more bleeding,  full term pregnancy. He also says I have to have a full Iv bag before I can go home. (Its now 230 am and I've had the iv thing in my arm for 4 hours)  so after that,  we headed home.
I was scared to death to be by myself the rest of the night. He left me with the whole list of all of the possible reasons I should come back.
Its 930 am now, bleeding seems to have slowed,  im on bedrest and supposed to follow up with OBX tomorrow.
I just talked to Jas and was able to fill him in.
I am so grateful Jen was with me.
As of now im not so excited about PSL! Good thing they have the best nicu because so far I do not feel very confident with them. Not to mention of the two nurses and the doctor for taking care of me, everytime one  of them came in, they would tell us something different. We are pretty sure there was no communication going on!
We will see what my doctor has to say tomorrow.

Well it is 8:45pm and I had spaghetti and ice cream tonight, and I still don't feel like poop! Could it be a turning point!?!  I sure hope so! We will see what tomorrow brings.

15 weeks!!

Moving right along! I wish the "morning sickness " at night would go away already! I still have only gained about 5 pounds, im definitely getting bigger but I worry about getting enough. Then I worry about the worrying, its crazyness! I eat as often as possible all day. Gaining weight has never been an issue, I don't get it!!
Last night we got to spend sometime with Monica and the girls. It was really fun and makes me so excited to have my own.  I just love how all these little girls adore Jason. Its so cute!! I know he will be a really great dad. Seeing him with our little babies im his arms will be one of the most amazing moments in my whole life! The only thing better, will be holding them in my own! Just be aware, I might not ever want to share ;)

Next week I have to start progesterone injections again! Ugh!! But... at least we know ice works AND its only once a week. Im not totally sure why, something to do with avoiding pre term labor I believe.  Whatever it takes!!!

I learned a hard lesson Saturday about the baby asprin! Let's just say for the next 10 ish weeks of work, ill be real careful with my scissors! !

I Can't wait for next Friday, im so anxious to find out what we are having! 
But, I hope no one will say anything about what they are not this time. Yes one of each would be fabulous, but if it's two boys that's fabulous too! I just want everyone to be happy for whatever they are.
We are!! Its such a huge blessing and we are so incredibly thankful!  It's been a long rough journey and healthy babies is all we are asking for!!!!

Im so happy!

I don't know why but I feel so excited today, more then normal! Maybe because surgery is officially over and the first trimester. I didn't really expect to feel this way until after 25 weeks. Im not sure why but it feels good. Maybe if J gets home early we can venture into the nursery....

Follow up

I had my follow up appointment this morning and everything looks great!
I really love OBX, I'm so thankful I get to be seen there. I love everyone, and they are so great to me. My favorite ultrasound tech came in to see me and see how everything is. Then my nurse practioner came in to give me a hug and check in. So sweet! Today I had a new doctor and I LOVE her! She is my new favorite! I will do what I can to see her the most. (she has 5 year old twin boys) she will be doing our big appointment on the 22nd! They said to bring a blank DVD and they will record that ultrasound!
Before she did the ultrasound today, she asked if I wanted her to tell me the sex and I said yes but I better wait for Jason and then the first thing Jason said when I called him was "Did you find out what they are"
oh well! It will be better to find out together, but I was a little bummed for a minute that I didn't!
I made my first little purchase for the babies today. I went to kohls to use my kohls cash and I found these adorable outfits, but then I decided if I was going to spend $40 there is a lot of things I really need that would be a smarter purchase. So, I love how they do the books with matching stuffed animals and Ive always wanted to buy them for my kids. So I finally did today. I got one book with two different animals that go with the book. That way I only spent $15 and it goes to charity but I was excited about it!

14 weeks!

Im now officially in the second trimester!! Im relieved that surgery is done, and it went as smooth as possible. Im all healed now, no meds for two day. Occasionally, I get a little crampy but not too bad. Hopefully work wont be too bad today!!
Im hoping for that second trimester energy I hear about and hopefully ill get hungrier soon! But everything is good and I feel good.  I have a check this friday and then two weeks until our appointment!
