Lilypie First Birthday tickers

It has been a long time since I posted. After Jennifer's computer trouble we had some here too. Hopefully we are all better now!!!

I will talk about myself first. I have been feeling really good lately.....except being very tired. I get up in the morning good but after lunch I can't function very well. Being a preschool teacher, I am out by 11:30 so i can get a nap in before I go get my kids at school at 2:45. That has been a huge blessing. I have been out of breath lately too. I am sure it's due to space in the belly. I was out of breath with my kids too so it's probably just how my body is. If I can get to the stage where the babies drop, I will know because I will be able to catch my breath again!!
We have started doctor appts. every 2 weeks for awhile. We were going to a high risk doc and a regular OB/GYN. Last appt. we decided it would be best to just go to the high risk doc. He is wonderful and we feel very comfy with him. They do an ultrasound every appt. and they couldn't be any more thorough. They check everything. They measure every organ and bone. I love that. They are keeping a very close eye on us.
If we haven't mentioned before we are driving 3 hours to the doc because of the laws in our state.....we are. That is also why they are watching close.

Our next appointment is Monday, November 1st. I am always excited to see the babies. They are very active and I know they are doing well. They move a lot now and that is always a good sign!! There is nothing better than feeling the lives of them in me. I am so thankful I am part of this.

Jennifer had her shower a couple weeks ago and, my goodness, she has some great friends and family!!! She received some wonderful gifts from people who have been praying very hard for us and the babies. They brought books instead of cards and several put messages in the books about the praying for us.

Well, I have had my nap now so I really need to use the energy I have to do some laundry and cleaning up. I never dreamed I would be so wiped out. I guess that would be a slight downside to carrying twins, but well worth it!!!
