Busy Weekend
We spent most of Saturday and Sunday out at the farm. It was good to hang out, chat, do nothing (and it was so much nicer to have everyone come to us, instead of having to drive all over Muskingum and Coshocton counties to see them!). On Saturday, Eric’s brother was gone for the day, so we helped out at milking by feeding calves for his dad. I got to feed little twin calves, and Eric fed the other three. There are also, apparently, three more that were still too little to be in the calf hutches, so my FIL fed them. This many calves is a great thing because all but one were girls…very important on a dairy farm! And it’s soooo cute to watch them suck down a bottle of milk!
In other news…
- I am officially into my second trimester this week (14 weeks). Also I am going to have to make my first foray into maternity clothes this week. I’m just about out of pants that I can wear out of the house, and I am down to dresses without waists for Sundays. Hopefully, Karen will want to go with me…
- I was downright exhausted last night by the time we got home. Busy days, less-than-stellar sleep, and a lot of driving tend to contribute to that, I guess. So an early bedtime was in order. It was lovely!
- Today I must make a grocery run. And I’m meeting a friend for lunch. Then I think I’ll just sit on my couch for the rest of the afternoon.
- And finally, the results of last Thursday’s ultrasound:
This is Baby A (actually Baby B from the first set of pictures, but now closer to the cervix, thus the name change). This one was sleeping, it seemed, all curled up. But the head is much more obvious now!
This is Baby B. As soon as she put the ultrasound device on my belly, we could see this one kicking and dancing around, having a little party in there. No wonder Baby A was all curled up! And in the first shot of this one, I could clearly see the little leg and foot. This is the second shot (the printer was out of paper), and it’s not so clear here. But maybe the next time…
That is sooooooooo exciting… Loved seeing the pics, can’t imagine what it’s like to have 2 in there.
I have just found out that 2 other couples I know are due 2 weeks after me. It’s baby season!
The twins are going to be quite cute! I just know it! 🙂
@gsowell – I don’t think it was officially A and B at the first one…I think she just marked them to show me there were, in fact, two!
I didn’t know they would switch the letters when they moved! Mine must have stayed in the same place once we had the ultrasound at 20 weeks. Caroline was baby A the ENTIRE time.
No one else think it’s neat that Shannah fed the TWIN calves????
beautiful babies!
I love that Baby B is a dancing baby. I think baby A should have an A name and baby B a B name, that way we always remember which one was the dancing one and which one was the sleeper.
They’re getting big already!! Very cute, too!!
Michelle did get some energy back…about the time she was put on bed rest and didn’t want to be still!!
I finally crossed you off the “pray for pregnancy prayer list”!” What joy! Clearly, still praying for healthy babies!
I think the first one’s cuter. Am I allowed to say that?
The second one looks like Eric.
hehehe
@terriwright – LOL, Terri!
ummmmm… I guess, pretty much. BUT – – those guys in “Cocoon” WERE very nice…………….
I loooove your babies!!
I said before that I didn’t find out mine were twins till so late in the pregnancy. But if I had had half a brain, I should have surmised. I was feeling lots of movement on one side and on the other side I could feel baby. Well once I knew they were twins I couldn’t wait to find out what baby A (the one on the left side) was because that baby was having a little party in there. It was Hayley. When they were born, I would put them near each other and if she touched Justin he would cry or act like “get her away from me!!!”
Such sweet pictures! Love it! So, any chance on seeing a tummy update soon?
@terriwright – Are you saying I look like an alien?!? Or just that they look short, like me?
They both look JUST like you!!!! So wonderful. I can’t imagine the anxiety of carrying 2. You will do great…just go one meal/snack at a time, and learn to do nothing!
I see the foot in that second one! SO exciting!!
Have fun shopping today! And let us know if you need anything – as far as I know, we have no one pregnant right now, and we have a HUGE box of maternity clothes!
