Allan and I went to the O.B. on Monday. She checked the heartbeats...they're still kickin! It was so relieving to hear them again. Some of you may know that I have been fearful lately about one or both babies dying before birth or shortly after. I was fine before people started telling me frightening stories. Reading about why multiple pregnancies are high-risk scares me a little too, but at the same time it makes me more cautious about what I do to my body.
On the much brighter side...
the good news is that my job at the daycare has officially ended. Taking care of twenty 3-year-old children for eight hours, five days a week was too much for me to handle. I think we made the right decision, although I am sad to leave and our income will decrease. I am still working part time as the children's director at my church, and I will hopefully pick up as many substitute teaching jobs as I can before I am immobile this summer :)
Speaking of this summer, the deadline to make our house habitable is the end of May, which would be a full year since we started on it. We've been at a stand-still for a while, mainly due to lack of money and motivation. Luckily, as the size of my belly increases so does Allan's driving force. We have also had support from friends and family willing to roll up their sleeves again so we can move our family into a normal living space. A one-bedroom apartment won't cut it for Allan, Emma, the dogs, twins, and myself.
February 10th is the extensive ultrasound with the maternal-fetal specialist in Indy. I have no clue what to expect, but I'm guessing it will be a 3-D ultrasound. I think they'll be able to tell if they are identical or fraternal. I will be 13 weeks by then.
Please keep us in your prayers!
