The latest
Well. . . exhaustion and pretty icky morning sickness has kept me from doing much but sleeping, and lounging on the couch spending way too much time on Facebook and hulu.com and Netflix.
But the big news is that the extra tiredness and morning sickness is because I'm doing double duty. It's twins! I'm almost 10 weeks along. Got a second ultrasound yesterday, and they're beautiful and perfect, with strong little hearts. I've graduated from the fertility clinic and I'm on to a regular OB, who comes highly recommended by someone I trust very much (and a few others who followed her recommendation) and who I feel really good about. Even my fertility doctor expressed emphatic approval at my choice of doctor.
What I'm most excited about at the moment is that in 2 weeks I'll be done with shots. Nine shots a week have taken their toll on my poor hips, which are all bruised and sore and knotted. It's definitely worth it to keep my babies where they are and healthy. . . but I love transitioning into that period where it's a "normal" pregnancy without need of hormonal support.
So the big question is, who will they be? Two more girls? Two sons? One of each (they are definitely fraternal)?
Which brings me to an issue that I'm really glad we haven't had to explore too far before: circumcision. I'm doing lots of reading on the topic lately. All I will say at the moment is that I'd love to find some impartial, scientifically backed literature, for either the pro or con side, that doesn't involve people using words like "barbaric" and "mutilation" and "torture". Histrionics don't appeal to my sensibilities.

Just saying hi.
I love you tons.
-George... well OK NOT actually George...
:) So happy for you guys!! :) And wow...2 more shades of red heads for you family!! :)
I will be super suprised if it's not two little boys. :)
And our oldest two we got circ'd....However, after watching Elijah get circ'd...I knew I would never circumcize another son of mine again....so neither of the little boys are. I highly suggest you actually see it done (once you find out about the little guys) and then, along with your research, make your decision. From the research I did previously, I finally came to teh conclusion that no one really knows if it is actually better or not to circ...so then it becomes personal prefreence. And if you'd like any more details about it, just ask. :)
Thanks Heidi!
We love you tons :D.
Haven't even thought about the hair color :D
We were just talking today about whether we think it will be boys or girls and my point of view was that it will be likely to be either two girls or a girl and a boy. I have absolutely no idea of course and since I can't control it doesn't matter to me...
Anyway thanks and I'll talk to you later!
