Week 19

Well, sorry it's been so long since our last post but we're back, hopefully... We made it through the Hardman Family Reunion. We had a wonderful and very relaxing time. Sara was a trooper, she felt good throughout the week. She even took herself and the babies on a nice hike, even did some water aerobics (aka swimming). She keeps hinting that since she felt so good being away from work that maybe she should go ahead and take off. Good thing the voice of reason came calling (aka myself).



So back to reality....when we got back Sara unfortunately had to work almost every night due to Homearama. Tonight was her last night and now it's time for some R&R. During week 18 we had another doctors appointment where we hope to know the gender of the babies but the doctor said it was too early to tell. Try telling that to Sara who pleaded with the doctor to perform another ultrasound to check on her ovaries, cough cough babies. The doctor agreed. So along with both of our mom's we packed into the ultrasound room to hopefully get some answers. We were fortunate to get the worlds greatest ultrasound tech and she was able to identify one of our babies and gave us about an 80% guarantee on the other. The results will be know soon by our level 2 ultrasound here in the near future but for those of you who voted it appears the majority may be right. Only time will tell.....

4 Months!

Let's start off with some belly shots.......


This week we are avocados:)

It's so funny to find these different websites that tell you how big the babies should be each week. One week I found something that said the babies are the size of a can of red bull.

I've been wondering about Elly lately and how she is going to act when our household officially doubles. Right now while I'm writing this post, she is jealous of the laptop. She hates when I have the computer in my lap and she tries to lay right on top of it. Then she'll lay her head on my hand so I can't type. If that's not an indication of the future, then I don't know what is. She has been extra clingy to me lately. She likes to snuggle with me real close at night and she always wants to lay right by my stomach. Sometimes she stares at my belly and I think she knows something is in there.

I feel like I've been given a break this past week. I haven't had anything bother me too much. I'll be distracted all this week getting ready for our vacation. This will be our last trip as a family of two and I feel like we are having to pack up so much stuff! I guess that's just getting me prepared for pretty much every time we'll have to leave the house with 2 babies:)

I won't be able to post next week as I will be technology free where we are going (I don't even get cell phone service). I have a doctors appointment scheduled for the week we come back and she will then let me know when we can find out the sex of the twins. It should be within the next few weeks. I have posted a survey on the side of the blog for you to vote what you think the twins will be. It will neat to find out if the majority votes are correct. So please participate as we anxiously await the news!
