11 weeks, 4 days

I went to my doctors check up this morning and everything went wonderfully. Both the babies are growing right on schedule. I personally think it's a boy & a girl, but that's nothing official. Hopefully next time when I go I will know for sure.

Today he did a sonogram instead of a ultrasound so the pictures are not that great, but I did get to hear there hearts beat again. That always makes my day! :) I also got to see the babies moving around in my tummy. I think Baby A acts like his/her daddy "it" was very calm and didn't move a lot VERY LAID BACK. Unlike Baby B who was kicking his/her legs and arm all over the place. "It" was more excited like it's mommy.

BABY A (It's even looks laid back)



BABY B (Yes, it is upside down)

The babies are measuring about the same - BABY A was 5.34 cm & BABY B was 5.29 cm. (they are measuring 12 wks) There heartbeats were (A) 138 bpm - (B) 167 bpm. I can't wait to go back on the 8th of June to see how much they have grown. I should be good and relaxed since we will be in Florida the week before for vacation.

I am putting a "BABY GENDER POLL" on my blog page so you can vote on what you think we are having. Give me your honest thoughts!!!!

Things that are on my mind...

I've been thinking about a lot of different things lately, so here is what is on my mind.

First my thoughts and prayers go out to the Morgan Family. This is a girl I work with that was 19-20 weeks pregnant and found out Saturday that she was losing her baby when her water broke prematurely. It truly breaks my heart because she is such wonderful person. Please keep this family in your prayers!

This makes we worried about my own pregnancy. (Not that I have any reason to be worried.) I mean just the fact that everything can go from perfect and exciting to heartbreaking and full of tears in a matter or seconds. I wish I could go back to the doctor tomorrow so I could see that the babies are okay, but I will have to wait until next Monday.

Now on to more happier thought...... I was wondering if anyone knew how early you can use a home fetal heart monitor to hear the babies heartbeat? Do these things actually work? What's the best brand to buy?

Second, when can a baby hear? I've looked on line and there are 10,000 answers to this question, so I thought I would ask you experienced mommies out there.

Third, Jason and I have come to the conclusion that we need a bigger vehicle. My Honda Accord is not going to be able to handle our growing family. I test drove a Honda 2009 Odyssey today.
I can't believe I'm going to say this, but I think I'm going to be a mini van momma. I really liked the van. My husband thinks I've lost my mind for wanting one, but it's the best on gas and has everything you would want in a vehicle. Plus, I am in a car pool with two other people and at least with this new vehicle I want have to make ONE of them ride in the trunk of tie them to the roof. I know that this seems really early to be thinking about purchasing a new vehicle, but we have a GREAT deal on a Odyssey that is really hard to pass up.

We also just purchased a new king size bed and mattress. All I can say is we love it! Also another great deal. Here is a picture of it.....
I'd would take a picture of the actual bed in our house but we can't agree on a bed spread, so right now we are using blankets until we find something we both like. We maybe using blankets for a while.
The first night sleeping on it was awesome. I didn't get hit in the head or my pillow stolen. It was so NICE!!!!! :) I can't believe we haven't bought one before now.

This is all that is new with use for now. Hopefully soon I will have a new ride. I'll keep you posted.
