Our Little Litter

In my head, August 16th is the babies due date.  They will induce me 2 weeks before that, so in reality, August 1st-ish is looking like the end of the road for this pregnancy.  It is almost misleading to tell a woman pregnant with twins what her due date is though, because as I read more about giving birth to multiples, the babies can come anytime from week 26-40.  I'm in week 23 right now, so to think that it is possible that the little ones might join us in just 3 short weeks... well that makes me sweat and begin to hyperventilate... So I'll stop thinking that they'll be extremely premature.  Instead, I am moving into action mode.  Today I signed Evan and I up for the group Twins By The Bay.  It's a twins group that I was recommended to by a woman in the store once (because random people give me advice now).  I checked it out and it seems to be a great group to join.  Members all have, or are expecting twins.  They go on outings together, have support groups, speake

The video below is of Evan and I cutting the cake at our baby shower to find out the gender of our babies.  So glad we have this on video, it was such an amazing experience! Enjoy!

April has been an exceptionally trying month for me, which you can tell from me putting aside the things I "like" to do for the things I "have" to do.  I have missed blogging and keeping you all updated on our lives. At the end of March, I took an exam that would decide whether or not I would graduate in June.  I finally got the results back last week, and I passed!  I passed with 13 points higher than the national average, so I was proud of that and felt a huge relief.  I have also had several large projects due in April, they're not all complete yet, but close.  All will be smooth sailing once April is over... Until August of course. On April 12th, Evan and I made the 8 hour roadtrip down to San Diego for our first baby shower!  The drive actually was not bad until we reached the northern side of the San Diego area, around Oceanside and Camp Pendelton.  Then we hit traffic, which was torture considering I knew how close we were to getting to our destinatio

Evan and I have a really wonderful doctor that we've been seeing every month.  He is very calm and level headed, and I don't think he over-shares unnecessary medical information with us.  I've heard horror stories from my friends whose doctors say things like "I hate to tell you this, but there is a 1% chance that your baby has Down Syndrome."  Well, yes I see that the doctors have to be transparent and share the information they have about your pregnancy, but would it be possible to say something like "Congratulations, there is a 99% chance that your baby does not have Down Syndrome!"  The truth is that you can't do anything about it anyway - I suppose in some cases there is the option to abort a pregnancy, but that is not something we are interested in, so in some ways it feels like the less information we get the better.  We had a conversation in our last appointment with the doctor about how technology during pregnancy is not always the most bene
