Our Little Litter

Happy Memorial Weekend! As I write this post, I'm listening to a mix cd that our friend Gabe gave to us of classical music that is supposed to be good for the little ones to listen to.  I'm trying to create baby genius's of course.  At this point, the babies can hear and can open their eyes.  They probably can't see anything because of how dark it is in there, but their eyes can open and close.  They are growing hair, and should be passing the two pound mark.  I have an ultrasound this coming week, so hopefully we'll get another good look at them! Friday night Evan and I went to the Giants vs. Rockies game.  My friend Sarah gave us her bleacher seats, so we got to sit in the outfield which was a fun change from our usual seats.  Rockies hit a home run just a couple of rows below us, and after the chaos of drunk people fighting over the ball, they ended up throwing it back to the field anyway which is the common practice when the opposing team hits a homer into th

Let's start this post off with a little pregnancy humor.  My friend Sarah sent this to me.

I'm seeing the doctor every other week now to keep a close eye on what's going on.  Last week I took the glucose test to check for gestational diabetes, so was looking forward to getting those results today.  The appointment started off well when I learned that I had only gained two pounds since the last appointment ... it's the tiny victories keep me optimistic among the discomfort of carrying twins.  I had to wait a while in the room before the doctor came in, so I was reading through one of the parenting magazines.  I got to a page that talked about what happe

Oops, it's been a while since I have written.  Evan and I took a tour of our hospital, which we are both glad we did.  It was comforting to see the rooms and the floor that I will be giving birth on.  The hospital is in Berkeley and has 4 different gardens that I can walk around in early in the labor process.  Those will also be nice for Evan to get some fresh air and any visitors we have. We also had another ultrasound and a doctors appointment.  This was the first ultrasound that Evan could come to, but I was pretty bummed because the babies were both facing back towards my spine and they weren't moving as much as the first time.  We did not get a good view of their profiles or faces, although you could see their little arms and legs kicking for space.  They were situated with both of their heads together on my right side and feet over to the left.  Baby boy is 1.9 pounds and baby girl is 1.8 pounds.  Their organs all are looking good, weight and size are right where they s
