2 months old he looks up at you...

Well, the baby isn't 2 months old "yet"...he/she is still inside. But, I am 9 weeks pregnant!

We found out last week that there is only one baby. Ron and I were a little disappointed, but still excited that there is at least one baby in there!!!


Here's the 8-week scan:


Still kind of looks like a little alien, doesn't it? :) Mom came with me and we heard the heartbeat...a nice STRONG heartbeat!!
I go back for another scan next Wednesday and have an appt with my Ob/Gyn on Friday. Hopefully I will have more pictures to post.

"Stop, Time...don't move on!"

I want this feeling to last forever right now :)


After 2 failed IUI's, 2 failed IVF's and almost 4 years of trying to have a baby...I am pregnant. Oh...and when it rains...it POURS! I am having TWINS :) My husband and I are beside ourselves excited right now. My sister has been DYING to post her ticker to be an aunt, so please make sure to look at that as well (Jen's Blog on the right side).


Oh...and I have one too!!!


The babies are affectionately being called "Thing 1 and Thing 2". I know...odd to call them "Things", but it's a loooooooong story. As my mom says, you have to know our family to understand. Until we find out what they are, those are their names.


Here is the 1st (technically 2nd...i have a picture when they were first implanted!) picture of my babies :)
