apologies

Sorry it is not twins, I made Amy do that, more to mislead everyone into not guessing the right answer. My bad! Sorry, it was more of a question for the medical students to answer. The answer is yolk sac. However, I did really want twins.

Gummie Bear(s)


For some reason I am no good at taking pictures of pictures, but you get the idea. The ultrasound lady kept saying looks like a gummie bear, so I went with that. I am 10 weeks along, Patrick said I couldn't tell anyone until 20 weeks, so ha I won. I didn't want people to just think I was gaining weight, or growing a "Milwaukee Tumor" (pot belly.) Needless to say Patrick finally conceded.
I love the care I am getting here, they are very thorough. I thought I got great care with Natalie, but the care here is above and beyond, I love it. I get an hour long ultrasound at week 20, i am so excited to find out the sex. I have done well this first trimester, only throwing up once, sorry Jessie, but I do feel sick off and on. I am just super tired all of the time, and usually take a 3-4 hour nap while Natalie is sleeping. When I go to work, I am usually asleep by 8 due to no nap. My doctor is actually heavily involved in teaching the medical students here, but he assured me that none of Patrick's classmates will come in during the birth, unless I want which I don't!
April 6th is the current due date, and in the photo above there is a green circle, circling something around the baby in views head. First one to guess what it is gets a candy bar.
So excited!!!

Tomatoes!

We tried our hand at gardening this year, Patrick got me tomato plants for Mother's Day and we picked them tonight. Natalie loved them, and I have to say they definitely tasted better than the store bought ones!
