3D Ultrasound






Yesterday morning we had another 3D ultrasound done. What a trill it is to see our babies, even if it's via a screen. It's so hard to believe that the babies we see on the screen are growing inside me. With each passing day our excitement grows. Currently, I am 28 weeks and 3 days along.
Anyway back to the utlrasound and update: Joshua weighs 2lbs 7oz and Saray weighs 2lbs 8oz. The tech stated that Saray for sure has hair. Joshua doesn't noticably have any hair (yet). I had tons of curly hair when I was born and Jer had peach fuzz when he was born. Haha. It seems as though we have 2 mini me's in the making. :) It will be so much fun to see them in person.
Our next appt is in 2 weeks, on July 10th - our 4th anniversary! Wow! How time flies!!
Enjoy the pictures!

Love Ya

You two babes are getting so big! You're pushing out your Mama's tummy more every day! I enjoy watching you roll and kick and stretch under your Mama's skin. I wonder how much longer it will be before we meet face to face. Oh, what a wonderfully exciting day that will be. Love you babies! ~ Daddy

27 weeks



This week is number 27. The time is just flying by! Here is a new picture of the belly and also a new photo was added to "progression" series.

Oh before I forget...Saray had the hiccups noticeably (to me that is) on the 13th. What a funny feeling that is. I haven't noticed yet if Joshua's been getting the hiccups.

The Latest Happenings


This past weekend we were in Dickinson ND celebrating birthdays, my cousin's wedding and our twins. My wonderful cousins threw me a baby shower on Saturday; they went way out as if they were throwing a party with 50 attendees. We had great food, fun games and everyone was very generous in their gift giving. I am constantly blown away by how everyone is so very excited about our twins.

Jer and I are continuing to work on the nursery. Jer decided that the closet needed to be redone; he put 3 shelves in the back and the hanging rods have been moved forward as so no space is wasted. Jer is so creative and thinks things through very well. Jer also put together the second dresser/changing table. Things are coming together just fine. Now we just need to get everything organized in the nursery. Oh and paint!

I am reminded once again how God causes all things to work together for good for those who love Him. He has comforted me in my troubles so that I can in turn comfort others. Late last week I got a message from a friend of mine that works at one of our local radio stations, The Point. She wondered if I'd be willing to be interviewed for a show they do on the weekends, the topic would be on miscarriage. Of course I said yes as I knew this would be just another opportunity for God to get all the glory. So yesterday I made my way to Rapid City to meet with my friend at the radio station. She asked me to share my story about our two miscarriages and also about our current double portion. I shared about the emotions I experienced, the heartache involved in losing my children and also I gave some encouragement to those who would be listening. It will be a few weeks or more before the finished production is aired. I am so excited to hear how God uses this to bring himself glory and also to comfort and encourage others.

Oh, I almost forgot! We have another 3D ultrasound scheduled for the 25th of June at 9am. I'll be sure to post pictures of the twins.

That's about it for now...

Progression

Can you believe the difference between these 3 pictures? Our precious little ones sure are growing and wow is it showing. :) People are beginning to wonder if I'll pop, yet when I look at myself I still feel and look small. I am trying with all my might to imagine just how big I will be by the end of this pregnancy. I am continuing to pray that we make it past 36 weeks.

Ultrasound from 5-29-08

Ultrasound from today's visit.

24 & 1/2 weeks

Today we got to see our little Joshua and little Saray. They sure have grown since the first time we saw them at 7 & 1/2 weeks. They were pretty relaxed during the ultrasound. But wow, this morning they sure were active, I guess they wore themselves out. Overall, they are looking good! Yay! Thank you, Lord!
Our next appt is in 2 weeks, on June 12th.
