I will post pics when we finally have A/C and can spend time at home and I can get the pics off the camera. The A/C should be fixed on Monday, so look for them next week. In the mean time, I do have a shutterfly page if anyone is interested. I don't really want to post the url and password on...

I just realized that today is my valvaversary! Seven years ago I was recovering at Texas Children's in Houston after having my tricuspid valve replaced with a St. Jude's mechanical. My mother and husband (of only 1 year) were by my side the whole time. And here I am today laying next to my...

They're here! They're here! I ended up going to stay with LD on Friday so that I would be sure to be present for the birth of my children. Nathan intended to wait for "the call" before he made the 3 hour drive. He got that call Saturday night around 9ish. I drove LD to the hospital because...

Sorry it's been so long since I last updated. Things have been super busy around here getting ready for the babies' arrival. We are now 35 weeks and 6 days and Kyla and Lucas show no signs of coming any time soon! :eek: LD is an amazing woman to hang onto twins this well! School lets out for...

I am up 1 lb. :( However, I have had quite a bit of fast food (and some Chinese too!) the last few days. Part of that was due to the traveling to OK for the fetal echo, and the other is from being busy painting the babies' room (which is almost done, by the way). I need to go to the grocery...

Whew! We had the fetal echo yesterday. Their hearts look good! :D Also, they checked her cervix and said it looked good to them. No funneling!!! :D I'm feeling MUCH better now. I'll try to post pics this evening.

For about the last month or so I've made sure to have my cell phone on me at all times. This morning I forgot to put it in my pocket and I missed a phone call from LD and a text message from my husband. I read the text first. It said "Don't freak. I've already talked to her. Everything is fine...

My husband plays the same game! :eek: He hasn't in a few weeks, but I have no doubt that it will start again. I told him he won't be allowed to play it once the babies are here. ;)

On Thursday we will be having a fetal echo to check Kyla and Lucas's hearts. Just want to be prepared in case they inherited my heart issues along with my nose or chin. Please pray that we find their hearts are in the right place, facing the right direction, and pumping in the right way. Or...

It's stories like this that helped me make the decision to use a surrogate. And I know in my heart (no pun intended) that it was the right path for us. I don't presume to know what's right for anyone else, but I even though it COULD turn out perfect, I couldn't put my family through the worry...

Oops. I forgot to weigh this morning. But yesterday I was still the same. I'm home today for Good Friday, so perhaps I can get my butt outside for a walk. I'm trying to make my day productive. So far I've accomplished two of my four goals for the day. Guess I should make that five goals if...

Jumping back in... I'm not any different than I was when I last posted, but I FEEL fatter. :mad: So I'm jumping back in with both feet. Well, sort of. Yesterday I went to the store and got celery, carrots, and mushrooms for snacks and lunches. At dinner tonight I went out with coworkers and...

Okay, I have never (and will never) been in enough snow to have need of one of these things. Though the mechanism is pretty neat. However, I could not get past the guy beating the horse for getting stuck in the now. :mad: Shame on him!

Well, LD rescheduled the ultrasound for yesterday. Nathan and I decided she would go without us and we'd just get to see the pics and DVD afterward. The plan was for me to drive up after work yesterday, but the threat of snow kept me away. :p However, LD emailed us the still pics, so we at...

When do you think our babies will make their appearance? Vote in our Baby Pool (no money involved): http://www.twins4nandn.babypool.com

Hey, everyone! LD started a baby pool. Go place your vote (no money involved, just fun). :D www.twins4nandn.babypool.com

Wish I could help. My cardio is actually a peds. She sees me (her "big kid") because I have congenital heart defects. However, I could hook you up with an awesome electrophysiologist! ;) Good luck finding the right doctor!

Of course! You choose to do the reunion in a place relatively close to me (well, close enough to drive, anyway) and I won't be able to attend. Unless I can figure out travel with two tiny babies! LOL

I missed last week, but I'm still just maintaining. Every now and then I eek upwards or downwards, but nothing permanent. I did go for a walk on Monday because it was so pretty. Perhaps I'll do the same today. If not, tomorrow for sure! Good work Cooker, SB, and Karlyn! You're inspirations! :D

Darn kids! They're making sure we know early that they will be the ones running the show. :o Yesterday we caught glimpses of Lucas, but he was hiding behind his hand and umbilical cord. And Kyla was so wiggly all we saw was a blur! :rolleyes: We got no pictures, and no DVD. :( The...
