Still Looking Good

Well just got back from the OB, everything is still looking good. So We are at 28/29 Weeks so not long now. We are still thinking around the 36 week mark (normal for twins). We got a good scan of the twins heads that I hope to post later today.

Daddy's meeting

Well I attended the Daddy's meeting last night. This is one of those classes that tell you what to expect and some basic how-to's. It dealt mainly with some of the fears and concepts that may be seen before, buring and after birth. Most I knew about, some I did not.

Over all it was worth the time to have it. Although I believe that most the the guys in the class attended only to a) get out of the house or b) forced to go. One guy came, signed in, got the hand outs and left. Another said he had to take this time for the class because all the other interferred with his coaching. He's a winner. :).

But over all it was a good experience and I got to meet the head on the NNICU for the hospital where we will be having the twins.

First Baby Class

Well we had our first of several baby classes today. We opted for the all in 2 days over the once a week for five weeks. We did get to take a tour of the hostpital and met some folks from around the area. And we were the only ones having twins and the only ones that know we will be having a c-section.

With those conditions, the RN teaching the class geared a lot towards the other folks in the class, but did make a special point for us. We did get to see the NICU which was nice. Although we hope we don't have to see it again.

The conclusion to the class is next week. More then

Good Checkup

Well had the begining of our bi-monthly ob checkups. All was good with momma and the twins. Although momma did chip a tooth, so we have been figuring out what the SOP is for somehting like that. Looks like a normal thing with no worries. Fingers crossed.

well here are some scans from early july.

whats new with the twins

Well we are getting close to our next appointment later this week. MOmmy thinks she is not getting any bigger, but I can tell.

Hopefully I'l get some scans posted today

Summary to Date 9/20/05

Well, since I got a late start on this, I thought I would give a quick summary of where we are.

As for the history of the twins (I know I shouldn't refer to them as "The Twins", but until we release the names thats what they will be known as), it all started in January of 2005. We were trying for a baby and got one, but later learned that we would lose it. We were told to wait a few months before we tried again. Then came April 2005, we weren't really trying, but ended up hitting the jackpot with twins.

I can remember when Dana came home and told me. She had gone for a normal visit, just to see if she was infact pregnant. I was coming down the hall and she goes, well we're pregnant and I heard their heartbeats. I stopped, jaw hit the floor, and I was like "their heartbeats." Thats how we got going.

Since then we have had our fair share of doctor visits, ultrasounds, a few 3-d images. Over this time we have been to a many a baby show, sales, etc to begin gathering up all the supplies needed. One thing we did find out is the number of discounts we get because we have twins. Lots of buy one get one discounts, extra formula and so on.

We have had only one scare so far and that was more than enough for all 4 of us. We went to the doctor and they gave us the all clear.

As far as telling folks, we have told most family members and some friends. But I, have been holding off on telling the rest of the family and co-workers until closer to the time.

At some point I will get around to posting some of the ultrasounds so that all can share in the excitement.

Well thats the nuts and bolts for now.
