An Update... What A Lot To Update!!

Soo... I don't remember the last time I sat down to do this, but I know this is wellll over due for.

We have installed our new computer in the house and that is what I am on, so for now on, you can expect those regular blogs again to update  you all!!  I feel so bad for having not been around the last two months, and I promise to make it up to you somehow!!

OKAY... First of all, I doubt I have my last few weeks' belly pictures up lol  I'll start with 9 weeks

9 weeks



10 weeks



11 weeks



To date, we have had our appointments as such :

January 14th - ultrasound, confirmed twins, was put at 8w6d
January 28th - first obs with our specialist who will be following us through out the pregnancy and birth
January 28th - screening for genetic defects blood test completed, first pregnancy blood test for levels completed.  7 vials total

Upcoming appointments are as follows :
February 18th - OBS and probably ultrasound with specialist

We don't know when any other ultrasounds such as the anatomy ultrasound will take place yet, nor do we know of any other appointments.

I knew I felt them at 10w1d, just wiggles.
To date, I've so far gained 9.5 lbs, which was a loss of 2.5 lbs in 2 weeks-probably due to the severe morning sickness.
First "thud" was felt February 2nd while chatting with my IF over inbox messages.
Doppler was bought February 2nd, looking into newer versions though, more accurate, with a display screen so that we don't have to count the beats per minute and a speaker rather than headset, but we are very grateful for the one we currently have.

Don't be shy to ask any questions as we go as well, possibly updates I missed, or thought weren't as important as the others!!

Thank you all for stilll being here, I love you all!!
