17 week check up and testing

Went to go check on the babies and get some testing out of the way and the ultrasound machine was not working so we sadly didn't get to peak at them in there and will have to wait until next week to see them. We did get to listen to their heartbeats with a fetal doppler and they sound very happy in there.

We got some of the testing out of the way and everything looks good so far. My belly is measuring at 24 weeks (for a single pregnancy) The Dr. said that is right on track for my 17 week twin belly.

The Dr. promised to give us a guess on the sexes on Friday Sept 12th... cant wait!!

16 week ultrasound

We went to go look at the babies and they look great. They are measuring right where they should be. The Dr. says that my belly is where a single pregnancy would be at 20 weeks.

Baby A seems to love the spot light and always jumps around a ton during the ultrasounds and tries to sneak into the picture when we are taking pictures of Baby B.
Baby B seems to be a little more laid back. We have decided that Baby A takes after Dad and Baby B takes after Mom.

The Dr. says it is a bit too early to tell if they are boys, girls or one of each... but we have our guesses :)

14 week check on Baby A and Baby B

Just a quick check on the babies,

They look healthy and happy!

Since mom-to-be is getting a little pudgy we happily shared the news with everyone at Susie's wedding Saturday, August 2.

12 week check on babies with Grandma!

Joel was out of town on business so Grandma Jones was really excited because this meant she got to take dads place at the ultrasound. She got to meet our Dr. and he made extra pictures just for her.

The babies look wonderful and the Dr. gave us the ok to make the wonderful announcement to friends and family. Grandma Jones got out her phone book and called everyone.

This ultrasound is right after we got back from Chelan for two weeks. The babies sure seem to enjoy relaxing in the sun and eating lots of icecream. We were at Katie & Marty's wedding on Saturday, July 12, and had a wonderful time. We were able to share the news a little more and told our Aunt Pam and Uncle Paul we were having twins! (but sshhh, its was still a secret.)

Even Grandma & Grandpa Olsen were there to celebrate!

9 week check on the babies

Our Dr. has lovelingly named our babies Baby A and Baby B.

After calling the Dr. on a Saturday night because I am a stressful mom already he agreed to check on the babies on a Sunday morning (He loves us :)

Everything looks great, they are happily growing in there.

IT'S TWINS!!

At our 7 week ultrasound, June 16th 2008 we were ecstatic to find out

WE ARE HAVING TWINS!

We decided to keep it a secret for a while but we were very excited about our two little bundles of joy growing in there!

Because we have two babies in there we will have ultrasounds every 2 weeks to check on the babies.

We are having a baby!!

After a very long weekend of suspision we left the beach early to find out if we were expecting. (apparently I am not as patient as I thought)

Our suspisions were true! We got a positive pregnancy test and our due date is officially January 31, 2009.

Joel couldnt be more excited! After making a few calls to share the news with close family, we celebrated with a movie, a beer for Joel and some sparkling cider for the mom-to-be.

We took a relaxing trip to the zoo the next day to just enjoy the news.
