Prayers for the babies

We just had our 22 week ultrasound...the babies are both growing well but they did see a 'growth' on Baby A's chin. Our doctor doesn't really know what it is (it looks like a goiter) but anyways it is rather large and it grew in only four weeks which is somewhat concerning. I just ask for prayers for the healing of it and for the doctors. We have an MRI tomorrow and then an appointment Thursday with the specialist in St. Louis. Right now we will just be waiting

Love you all and we will likely see most of you soon!

18 week appointment

Both are doing wonderful. Baby A is in the 75th percentile and Baby B 89th percentile on the growth charts. One was 8 ounces and the other 8.5 ounces. And just because I'm sure you all want to know about my cervix... the doctor said she was really surprised.... it is still long for this stage of pregnancy (especially with twins). So that means no bedrest in the near future! Yeah!!!!

The pictures are labeled at the top left corner as to which baby and what feature!!!

Love you all!

14 week appointment

Just an update...thanks for all the prayers! We had an appointment today and got to hear the babies' heart rates for the first time! Everything still looks good. Both heart rates were in the 140's. We will have another ultrasound in 4 weeks.

Love to all!!!

New pictures of our twinkies!!

We had another appointment with a specialist from St. Louis this morning and had another ultrasound!! Everything still looks good!!! Both are 4 cm long and Baby A's HR is 172 and Baby B's HR is 170. The pictures really don't do the ultrasound justice but we could see them moving around, kicking their legs : ) They really like to move! Here are the pictures they gave us!

Love you all!!

BABIES!!!!!

Yes, that's correct! I meant it to be plural! :) there are two!!! Baby A had a HR 169 and Baby B 163 by the early ultrasound we had. They are more than likely identical twins!

Carolyn, they must have gotten ours switched :) No, we are excited but I'm still in shock! I wouldn't have believed it unless I saw the two little hearts!

Holy cow! We are in for it! You can pass this along to family, I couldn't get everyone's email to pull up on my phone! Love you all!!

BaBy NeWs!!

Hey family! Since I didn't get to tell you all in person this past weekend...I just wanted to pass along the good news!!

Preston and I are EXPECTING!!! We are extremely excited and ask for any and all prayers for a healthy pregnancy and little one!

Even more exciting, Carolyn and I are only about a week apart. I am due December 31st so I am only a little over 7 weeks right now. And for those on facebook...we are not going to spread the news that far just yet : ) We plan to wait until further along to share it with the facebook world! : )

Love you all!!
