Drum roll please.....
We found out on August 14th that we will be blessed with two more little girls! Tony was a tiny bit bummed....no boys, and since we're most likely not going to try for number 4, he'll be overrun with estrogen. :) Nonetheless, we are so very excited.
New appointment
I went to he OB today. (Tyler & Tony are sick, so they stayed home). The babies are growing so fast! And at the 13 week mark, they are looking great!!
I met the OB today (I have been seeing the nurse practitioner). I LOVE her. She is great... has twins and a singleton also. The nausea and vomiting have been really bad lately, so she gave me some new medicine. Working so far.... definitely keeping the fingers crossed. :)
Other than that, things are good. I have a 3D ultrasound on Wednesday, and another scheduled for August 14th. So we should be able to find out what sex they are in the next few weeks.
The 40th week will be January 13th (my tentative due date) although she said today that we probably won't go past 38 weeks.

Love to you all!

Doctors are frustrating...sometimes
My last appointment with the OB went great. The twins were moving all over. We saw one head and one butt... (not sure what sex they are just yet) I have Hashimoto's Disease (a thyroid disease), that is managed with medication. Well lately I have been exhaused, really exhaused beyond normal, like taking 1-3 hour naps a day plus sleeping 9-11 hours a night... but thinking.."well maybe this is normal for twins... " I wasn't this tired with Tyler but who knows...
I had asked the OB about whether I should continue to see the endocrinologist but they said sometimes it's easier if just one doctor manages your total health....seems to make sense. I talked with my endocrinologist about it and she said as long as they were all on the same page that would be fine.
So the OB office called today. My thyroid levels are LOW. Much lower than my endocrinologist usually keeps them at... which would explain a big part of my exhaustion. I am so frustrated. Besides being really exhausted, the effects of low thyroid levels with the babies can be bad... and something I would probably be upset about , since you can prevent some of those effects by properly managing your levels.
So I called my endocrinologist... have an appointment on Thursday and will now see both doctors. One for my thyroid and one for the sweeties. :)

Everyday wonderful...
Each day I wake up, I just can't believe how much Tyler has grown. Each and everyday she is discovering and learning in so many ways. We're so excited to see the wonderful person she is becoming, but I must admit that at the same time, I am a bit saddened. :) She's not the tiny little baby she once was. Long gone are the days when we would wake up, and I would hold her from the time she woke up to the time she went to bed. :) .... and awaiting the twins, makes me realize all the more what a precious time we have had, and that I won't ever have that again. Don't get me wrong, when they arrive, it will be wonderful, but just a little different. :) With your first, everything is new, everything is a learning experience. And each day is just the same... I've obviously never raised a two and half year old before... :) But when they arrive I will at least have some idea of what happens once we come home from the hospital. :)
Tyler has been pretending, and it's the cutest and funnest thing to see... so she's a turtle today. :) How she comes up with some of the things she does is beyond me... she is just so smart and quick. We got a new book, (that she didn't seem to be at all interested in) about turtles, but we haven't read it since last week, but obviously she was paying attention because she had been doing some of the things we read about. :) It's just too cute!
We decided as soon as we found out that we were expecting, we decided to share the news with Tyler. She is our family, and we felt that she should be included. No matter how things turned out, we felt it would be best to include her. We'd either get a jump on introducing the new change, or heaven forbid, things not work out, she would know something was wrong, and we don't want to lie to her.... so anyway... she been very funny. Some days very independent, some days very clingy. She either wants to do it her way, by herself, or it's completely opposite. She acts like a tiny baby. :) Pretending to cry and wanting to be held and rocked. All of this I think is completely normal, and just fine with the fact that I get extra cuddle time. :)
I thank God every day for all the blessings we have been given. Everything happens for a reason, and so I just try to take each day at a time, and appreciate it for what it is. I love my little girl so much!!!
