I had another ultrasound today. Everything is looking great for the girls. One is 1lb 4oz, and the other is 1lb 5oz. Their fluid looks great! Baby A is vertex and baby B is breech. We are praying for baby B to turn around so that I can possibly have a normal delivery (the thought of a c-section really scares me). Baby A's heartrate is 144, and baby B's heartrate is 140. I am so very thankful that they are doing so well. I have 17 weeks until my due date. My belly is measuring 34 weeks though. I feel huge! The boys are starting to adjust. We are painting the nursery and such so it is finally starting to feel real. I have gained 25lbs....ugh! But, the doctor said that is right on track for twins. We have picked names, but we're not ready for the world to know...so if you want to know, just comment me and I'll tell you. Just a quickie update! Talk to you later.

Happy New Year!!

This is going to be a GREAT year! I just know it. The Lord has blessed us so much. Here's a little update for you...we found out Dec. 23 that we are having identical girls! They are mono/di, which means they share a placenta, but are in separate sacs. We are elated! Today I went to the dr. and their fluid is measuring great and both are healthy. Twin A's heartrate is 141 and Twin B's is 153. I am 20 weeks today, so officially half way through, even though most drs. think I'll go between 30-37 weeks. I am measuring 28 weeks as if I was having one, so needless to say, I'm huge....but, hey, I have two babies in there.

The boys are doing well. Drew is SO excited that his twin girls are on their way. They got new bunk beds, and that seems to be going OK. (just OK). I have got to figure out a way to get them to stop fighting. But, I know that will come in time. Enough for now, I'll update again sooner than later I hope.

Loving my precious family, Ashleigh
