Well look at me, updating the blog again! Everything is going really well. I thought I had been feeling better this past weekend. Saturday I felt like I was feeling better. I only took one nauseas pill everyday until today! Today started out good but then I started not feeling so hot. I am eating now so I am thinking that will help subside whatever it is I am feeling. Other than that I feel fine. My next appoitment is on Wednesday. Hopefully that will be my last one with Dr. B, then I graduate to my regualr OB. They also said he will wean me off my precriptions, which I think will help me so much! I cannot wait because my lower back hurts and itches like you would not believe (that is where my intramuscular injections are given every morning. UGH!
Sarah is doing fabulous! There was no daycare this week and she says she misses Bina so much! She even had to give her a bunch of hugs before she left last week. That made Bina's day of course. Since we were on a little break this week, Sarah and I went and looked at two preschools. Kindercare, which I did not care for and Princeton Preschool which we both really liked. So Princeton it is! I am thinking she will start in October. I can't beleive my baby is going to go to school! :-(
We also went to CHLA on Tuesday for Sarah's follow-up with Dr. Shaul. After waiting almost 2 hours we got some good news. Sarah is being weined off her evening medication! Yeah! She is happy about that and so am I! She will have a dye test done, hopefully within the month and then a follow-up in 3 months. The dye test is where they will put this colored dye in her rectum, like her enemas, and take a picture with it in there so they can see that everything is flowing properly. Then she will try to go potty and then they will take more pictures of hopefully an empty colon. I am sure she will hate it because I am not doing it, but we will see how all that goes.

Picture Time!
First u/s showing that there are two sacs.
At 7 wks, Sac 1-hard to see, the picture wasn't that great!
7 wks, Sac 2-the dark circle to the left is Sac 1. Sac 2 is to the right.
9 wks, Sac 1. The baby is on its side. The head is to the left.

9W1D Pregnant
We had an appoitment today. Everything is going great! I get to graduate from Dr. B after the next appoitment in 2 weeks. We saw 2 strong heartbeats. Both babies have grown a lot since the last time. They both have heads and bodies and tiny little buds for arms and legs. "Sac 1" (as he calls it) was moving around quite a bit. Of course I cannot feel it yet. Maybe in about 7 weeks I will be able to. "Sac 2" was just lying there, probably sleeping. I hope that isn't an indication that one baby will be awake while th other is sleeping! How is mommy supposed to sleep!? He refilled my "anti-nausea" medicine again. I think it curves the nausea, but does not take it away! I will get to see my regualr OB, Dr. G, in 3 weeks and Dr. B also wants me to see a high risk O/B.
Sarah is doing good and is excited for the babies to come. But she doesn't ask when they are coming. So that is a releif. She likes to keep the ultrasound pictures next to her bed so she can look at them before going to sleep. It is so cute! We are going to look at preschools next week for Sarah. I am off for a few days so I thought that would be a perfect time to take a look at what is out there. I think it is time for her to go to school. She is pretty advanced though with her letters and numbers. She knows all the sounds of her letters, she can write her name, and she can count backwards from 10. So I think she is on the right track.

Sarah is 4 Years Old!
I can't beleive it! It feels like I just had her yesterday. Tim and I got her a Barbie bike. It is so cute and she looks great on it. She needs to peddle harder so she can actually go, but she is not afraid to get on it, at least until she falls.
We had a small birthday party at Chuck E. Cheese on Friday. She had so much fun. I hadn't been to CEC in forever and it was actually pretty nice. It was clean and not real crowded. It seemed like the kids had a blast.
Saturday we went to Tim's parents house to visit more with Bob and Leah and the boys. Sarah just loves playing with them. I wish we lived closer so we could see them a little more.
I am 8 weeks pregnant today. Yes I am still not feeling really well. I have been taking my medication every day, twice a day. I tried only taking it once a day and that didn't work. Yesterday I was miserable after work. Sarah is so good though. I can lay in bed and she will play in her room with her babies or read a bunch of books. I go to the Dr. again on Monday. Maybe he will have a miracle drug that will make me feel better. That would be so nice.

It's Official!
Well, as many of you already know (because I have a big mouth), Tim, Sarah and I are having twins. Well, really I am the one having the babies, but they are certainly a BIG part of this addition. We are excited, shocked, and worried all at the same time. I am only 7 weeks 1 day so it is still VERY early to be celebrating. But the Dr. doesn't see me for two weeks so that is always good.
I am VERY sick, in my eyes. I am not vomitting but I am nauseas/hungry/moody. Poor Tim! Nothing sounds good to eat at all. Although today I had a Weight Watchers mac & cheese frozen dinner for lunch and it was VERY good. So I may be eating that everyday for the next 5 weeks if I have to. I mean I am barely eating anything! And as you all know I LOVE TO EAT!!! I did have a Deit Coke with no caffeine today and it tasted okay.
Tim is such a good husband these days. He has been doing the laundry, the dishes and he helped put in a new wood floor in the family room with his dad on Monday. So not only is he working two jobs but he is also being Mr. Mom at home. I just have no energy to do anything.
Sarah is being very good as well. She lays with me in bed at night and takes care of me. She is going to be such a good big sister to the babies when they come. Although she beg daddy the other day not to change stinky diapers when the babies come. It was very cute. I told her she didn't have to, just feed them and burp them and we will be good. :-)
Sarah's 4th birthday is in 2 days! And is she excited?? OMG! We are having a little family party at Chuck E. Cheese's on Friday. She has never been so it should be interesting. We got her her first bicyle with training wheels. It is pink with streamers! I can't wait to see her ride it! Thursday she has her party at Bina's. I made chocolate cupcakes for that. So it should be a good birthday for her.
Well that is all from here. I will post pictures of the ultrasounds soon. I am not sure if I will be able to take a good enough picture of them and they are too dark to scan. But I will give it my best shot. Until the next post.......
