We have Fraternal Twins!

We went to the doctor today and had a GREAT appointment. The Ultrasound went great and the babies are doing fabulous! They are both a little over an inch long and both of their hearts were beating 167 bmp - which is excellent for their age. That was probably they neatest feeling and experience to hear the heartbeats. Just so incredible to hear the lives that are inside my womb. God is so good to us!

They told us that they are fraternal twins because they have their own placenta - Dr. Nett said that this is the best situation to be in with twins. She said having faternal twins is a lot safer and they have fewer complications - and especially with the two uteruses that I have this is much perferable. Mike is hoping for a boy and a girl but I am pulling for either both boys or both girls - really because I want to dress them alike. I think it is precious to have them in matching outfits.

I asked her what our goal was in terms of due date and she wants me to at least make it to 34 weeks - which would put me at March 31st and she is hoping to deliver two healthy babies in April. So that is our prayer - to have April babies!

The taste of God is so good! We feel so blessed and honored that God is giving us two children! Wow - blows our mind!

On other news - A family at our school gave us two double strollers. One that is a Graco duoglider and the other is a jogging stroller (will I have the energy to jog???). Below are the pictures of the strollers and our babies, "Trick" and "Treat"





This is a 3-d ultrasound - you really can't tell anything by looking at it - excpet the placentas and baby a is at the bottom and baby b is on top.


I am trying to suck in as far as I can - my uterus is 12-14 weeks in size and I am only almost 10 weeks. So the babies seem to be pushing everything up - the bump is actually on my left side - CRAZY!
