Yep...still boys!

Let me start by saying I apologize for not posting sooner! We've had a very busy day today and I just couldn't get on to do it till now! Let me also apologize in advance for no pictures. I got pictures from the appointment today, but no really good ones, just measurements of craniums and femurs. Even the money shots today were more like monopoly money than true currency, so I just am not going to take the time to scan and post them. Hopefully the doc will have more time to play next time and we can get some good profile full body shots for everyone to enjoy!

OK. Enough apologizing. Today's appointment was good in the sense the babies and I are doing well, but it was a long day in the office. I had to bring Allan with me, since I scheduled on a Wed and he's home! Of course it was a later appointment (11:15), too, and they were backed up...REALLY backed up. I was called in to the nurses station for weight/BP/Urine at 12:05, and then sent back to the waiting room! Finally called into the exam room at 12:30, but the doc didn't get in until around 12:50! Seriously! Thank goodness I love this doc and it wasn't my first visit...'cause if it had been, I might be looking for another doctor! But, as I said, I love him, and hopefully next time will be easier. I scheduled on a Tues (no Allan) and at 8:45, so too early to be THAT backed up!

Both babies are STILL boys :) For anyone hoping for a different outcome today than originally posted...get over it...we're having two more boys and that's that! Both heart rates were beeping (Allan's term) at rates of 141. Baby A measured 17 weeks, 5 days and baby B measured 17 weeks, 3 days (I am 16 weeks, 6 days today). My BP was normal (enough) at 123/80 and I'd gained 4 pounds in the three weeks, so I'm up 6 pounds so far. My doc did say I should be gaining roughly 1 to 2 pounds per week, so I feel great that I'm doing just that! We want these boys to grow, grow, grow so they can arrive at great weights!

Allan was excited to see the babies again today, too. He did so well waiting so long! I only had one toy with me, and a baggie of cheese it's, which thankfully he shared! :) It was probably the bribe of ice cream on the way home that did it, but really, even I was about to lose my cool after that long in a waiting room!

Allan does say he's having two brothers now, but usually follows that with "but I don't know what we're going to call them". He loves the babies so far and loves to rub my belly (especially in public...thanks for that!) and kiss it twice! He really is very cute about it all. I love my big boy oh so much!

I guess next on our agenda is naming these children. And we've got to get serious about the nursery, too...and strollers, car seats, cribs, oh my...so much to do!

My next appointment is the morning of July 13th. I will be just shy of 20 weeks then. Crazy how quickly time seems to be passing! Hopefully I'll have great news then and great pictures to share as well! OH...I forgot...I got a special request for a picture of me. Well, it's my belly she wants to see. So, Peggy, here you go! I'm 17 weeks tomorrow...good Lord...how big will I get?!?! :)
