A House full of little women


Yep......to all of our surprise, we found out we are having GIRLS!!!!!

TWO MORE GIRLS!!!!!!

Look at those cute little head side by side!

Baby A













Love seeing that strong heartbeat




Baby B






LOVE the little feet and hands!




The arrows are pointing to the membrane seperating the two sacs....the babies are identical so they share the same placenta but have seperate sacs

You can see from the picture that the baby on the right has a lot more room and fluid than the one on the left. Which is a concern.... so although today every thing looked great....the babies are exactly the same size and all the anatomy looks great....they are concerned that this could present a problem in the future so we are now going to be seeing a perinatologist as well as our OB. We see the maternal fetal medicine appointment on monday so we will see what they say but for now my doctor has put me on moderate bed rest, which means no lifting (that will be a challenge with Mia and Bree) and I have to have 12 hours of laying down/rest time a day (including sleeping hours). We are THRILLED that things looked so good today and will just keep praying that these two sweeties keep doing what they are supposed to do. As long as they keep sharing the nutrients and fluid the rest of the pregnancy we will be good! Because they are identical and in the same placenta, if something went wrong with one, it would also go wrong with the other, which is why they will be monitoring them so closely from here on out. The positive about that is we will get lots of looks at the babies with lots more ultra sounds!

Summer Fun with some of our Down syndrome family

Yes I am still blogging from summer activities.....We are so lucky to have so many great connections through the down syndrome community. It is like another family and I love it! Some of them are online and I have never met in person, yet feel like I have known forever, and some we are lucky enough to get to hang out with every once in awhile.
This summer we made it to one playgroup at the end of the summer


Another little Miss Mia


of course the kids huddled around signing time
Then we finished off the summer with a really fun family swim party at Heather's parents pool.
Gorgeous pool and view and so many cute faces to hang around








It was fun having the families get to come, usually it is either moms or moms and kids so it was fun to have the dads join this time.


Some of the moms who I love so much!
Attempting to get a picture of Jane and Bree together
and then jane and Mia...they were way more interested in eating


Jane totally reminds me of my little Bree when she was younger! I just want to take Jane home...and/or rewind time so that Bree is little again!

Thanks to all my wonderful DS family...both here locally and online!!!! Love you all!
