Week 15

We had another ultrasound on Monday with high hopes of finding out the sex of "Woody." Unfortunately, he/she was not cooperating. We have Claire to thank for that... she wouldn't stop moving and basically was squashing the other baby. The rest of the appointment went well. All looks great with the babies and with me.

The next appointment is Monday, July 10... the nurse was pretty confident that we would have our "sex" answer then (we'll be at 16 1/2 weeks).

Week 13

Well, a lot has happened since the last post... We had an ultra sound on Monday (hopefully we'll have the pictures to post soon) and though the babies looked great, we got some scary news.

Several years ago I had a cone biopsy after cancerous cells were found in my cervix. This procedure, along with the fact that we're having twins and my cervix was measuring short, caused some alarm in my OB. She was concerned that I may have an incompetent cervix, which basically means that I was a prime candidate for a late term miscarriage if surgery was not completed soon.

So off we went to a "maternal abdominal specialist." I didn't even know one existed, but they do. At the specialist it was determined that I am "ok" so we are very happy about that!!

We also discovered at the specialist that "Buzz" is not who we thought... Buzz is actually a girl...

We are naming her Claire Faith. Claire after David's grandma and Faith after David's mom's middle name. Unfortunately, "Woody" was not cooperating... So for now, we'll stick with that.

David and I were so happy that we went to BabiesRUs and bought our nursery furniture and a little onesie that says, "Daddy's little girl."

The next ultrasound is on Monday, June 26, so hopefully Claire will have a "real" partner (Thomas Benjamin or Avery/Lora Grace).

Hair cut

Well, I figured it was time for a "mommy cut," so I got my hair chopped a few weeks back. Believe it or not, but I'm not sad at all!
