7 Weeks

Pregnancy Highlights

How Far Along: 7 weeks, 1 Day

Size of Babies:
Pre-pregnancy Weight: 143 pounds (20 pounds heavier than I was before Makenna. I never fully recovered. Ha!)

Gender: The babies are in separate sacs, which means they may or may not be identical. It could be 2 girls, 2 boys, or 1 of each.

Movement: Not yet.

Food Cravings: I'm not craving anything specific. I get an idea in my head of what I want for dinner and I have to have that. Right now, I'm liking chicken wings, milkshakes, and bagels.

Symptoms: Exhaustion/Fatigue, Nausea, and lots of heartburn! Luckily I haven't had any vomiting....yet. I wasn't sick with Makenna, so I'm hoping for the same.

Sleep: CRAZY DREAMS!!

What I miss: Diet Coke!

Best Moment this week: Having my first doctor's appointment and finding out that we are having TWINS! We saw 2 little flickering heartbeats!

Things to come: Getting blood work done in the next few weeks.

What I'm looking forward to: Feeling these babies move and my next appointment that is in four weeks.

P.S. That shirt is not at all flattering, I think I already look 5 months prego! But hey, I'm carrying twins! :) And yes, that is an Easter decoration that I still have up. Haha!

1st Doctor's Appointment....SURPRISE!

I had my first doctor's appointment today and to our surprise.........

TWINS!!!

Twins run in both sides of our family.  Justin's grandmother, Betty Richey, is a twin. My grandfather, Roland Wright, was a twin.  My cousin, Kelly Wright, is pregnant with twin boys right now too!  We always joked that twins could happen but didn't actually think it would!  Justin even sent me a text message when I first found out I was pregnant that said, "How are the twins feeling?"  So imagine our surprise when we went in and had our first ultrasound and the doctor said, "looks like you have two!"  I was shocked and Justin had to take a knee.  Dr. Wood said it was the first time the dad had almost passed out.  Ha!

Dr. Wood said everything looks great!  The twins are in separate sacs, which is a good thing.  It means that they were either one egg that had an early split, or they are two separate eggs.  So they may or may not be identical.  It also means there could be 2 girls, 2 boys, or 1 of each!

I am 6 weeks and 4 days pregnant and due December 11, 2010!

Makenna, you're gonna be a big sister!!

Little LadyBug

Makenna is 5 1/2 Months old. She is growing so fast and she does something new everyday! She recently learned to sit up all by herself and she has the cutest posture... just like a little princess! Here are a few pictures I took of Makenna in her white bubble outfit, white Pediped shoes, and her "Momma-made" LadyBug bow!

The One with the Exersaucer

My brother, Josh, was home to visit and got Makenna a new pink exersaucer and she LOVES it! There are so many toys and noise-makers for Makenna to play with. She also loves to talk and scream when she's playing in it... so funny! So "Thanks" Uncle Josh for the very loud, but very entertaining exersaucer! :)

Welcome to the world of blogging!

So I have decided to join the club and start a blog for our new little family. :) I think it's a great way to update friends and family on what's going on. I am excited to share with you the stories and pictures of all of our many adventures and milestones to come! Enjoy!
