22 1/2 week update

Hello there all! We had another doctor appointment today and once again all looked great. The fancy machine that usually makes us a CD of the scan was unfortunately broken today and for some reason didn't print anything out for us, so there are no picture of the babies this time around. We did get a print out of the stats of the babies and from that info they both look good on paper too! He was able to get another shot of Aubrey and is still certain that she is a girl, so we are going to go with that and if we get surprised than we will be thrilled with that too! :) I am feeling good too, nothing really to complain about. I won't be posting a belly shot until later, Dean left before I could have him take a photo! I am going to Portland for the Women of Faith conference this weekend, and my baby shower is on Sunday, so I am sure that I will have plenty of photos to post from that! Well, that is about it, so stay tuned for more info! Love to all!!

Hello!

Hello all! Just thought it was time for a quick note before another month passes by! I know I don't post all that often, but those of you who know my track record for keeping in touch shouldn't be too surprised! :) Things are good out here in Washington, although we just got the official news today that Dean's job will be ending in 3 weeks...we knew it was coming, just not when. So, now we have time to plan our next step and figure out the best place for us to be for now. I think we are leaning toward the Portland area since that is where our Dr. is...and everything is all about the babies now! I will be sure to keep you all posted! For now though, we will keep on keeping on here in Moses Lake! I feel the babies move daily now, seems like mostly the girl, but sometimes it is more on the boy's side...and of course sometimes it is more in the middle so it could go either way! :) We have our next scan on Monday, so stay tuned for yet another belly shot (if I can figure out how to get my entire belly in the shot) and more pics of the babies. We have named our little ones: the baby formally known as "Baby A" is now going to be Aubrey Marie (the Marie is in honor of my mother) and "Baby B" is now going to be Spencer Russell. Spence is a Crosson family name and Dean's Dad's middle name, so we opted for Spencer and it sounded good with my Dad's name...so there you have it! :) I will keep you posted as best as I can and will get customary after the doctor appointment photos up on Monday! Love to all!!

19 1/2 Weeks

Hello! Well...we are having a boy and a girl!! Baby B is most definately a boy and he was fairly certain that Baby A was a girl, but wants to verify that in three weeks! But, we are moving forward thinking that we are having one of each! Everything went great at the scan, they weren't able to see everything, but what they could see looked good, so we have 2 healthy babies coming! :) They weren't able to get any good shots of the faces, one kind of with our daughter, but I will post some shots that prove his thoughts about the sex! :) Also, by popular demand, another belly shot! They are both growing right on target, so I have a full belly of baby! (Not to mention lunch at Red Robin!) Well, we love and miss you all so very much! I will post again soon!

Greetings from Washington

Hello all! We finally made it to Washington! What a weekend of packing and storing! Who would have guessed that after only 8 years of marriage we could accumulate so much stuff!! But, we are here and will settle into life in Moses Lake. I don't know how long we will be here, so we aren't changing our phone numbers yet...I will let everyone know when that happens. We had another checkup on Tuesday and things are going great. Babies looked active and both had good heartbeats, no photos this time though. We go again a week from Monday, on the 15th, for our anatomy scan so I will have baby pictures to post after that. We will also get to find out who will be joining our family, or what combo of boy/girl we will have! :) I can't wait!! I also can't really believe that it is here already! Where did the time go! I was always so sure that once we finally got pregnant the time would drag on, but I couldn't be more wrong! I will post another belly shot when Dean is home from work and can take the photo, unless I can find a spot to put the camera that will capture all of me...not an easy feat anymore! They tell me that I am doing good with my weight, although I am not thrilled with the rapidness of the rise in numbers! Anything for the babies I guess! :) That about sums up what is going on here with us! I will for sure post after the ultrasound on the 15th to show off our sons/daughters whoever is in there! :) Love to all!!

15 1/2 Week Belly Shot

Here is the latest belly shot...don't really like it, but I will get over it! :)




Here is Dean's 15 1/2 week belly! He is feeling a bit left out of all the blogging, so he thought I should take a shot of his belly too! :)

15 1/2 Weeks

Hello all! Today was our latest trip to the Dr. and once again all went well. I have had some issues with cramping and light spotting, but things all look normal at this time. I think the cramping was from being dehydrated and just not really used to being pregnant and over-reacted a little bit. My normal Dr. was on vacation so I saw a different Dr. than normal, but he was very nice and answered all my questions! (There were many!) I don't have pics this time of the babies because they scanned me in the office and that machine just doesn't print clear pics, so the next pics I post will be after the anatomy scan on the 15th of September. (I will also know the sex of the babies then too!) The Dr. we saw today bumped our visits up to every 2 weeks now so they can start keeping a close eye on my cervix length. The next visit we have is going to be with yet another Dr. in the clinic because he only sees patients on Monday's and with it being a holiday, we are seeing someone on Tuesday. Luckily I am used to multiple Dr's from the fertility clinic, so at this point I have no hang ups about new doctors seeing me! :) That is about it from us! Just moving right along...still kind of hard to believe that I am 15 1/2 weeks along already! That about does it from me! Love you all!!

It has been a while since I have updated, but that is just because not much is going on right now! I am feeling great, a bit uncomfortable already, but I am happy to finally be uncomfortable! :) We have a doctor's appointment on Monday, so I may have more to report then, but for now, things are just moving right along! Hard to believe that I am already 14 1/2 weeks along!! Time flies! I am still in Oregon, but will be joining Dean soon in Washington, probably after this doctor appointment, the house is just about packed up. I move slower than normal, so it is taking me a bit longer than I would like, but that is ok! It is getting done little by little! Dean will be home this weekend to finish all the big jobs and move all the boxes I have filled out to the garage. I can pack the boxes, but they stay where they are filled until Dean moves them! That is about it from here for now...I will update after we see the doctor! Love you all!!
