Pittsburgh Shower

Tracy and I ventured out to Pittsburgh last weekend for a baby shower thrown by her sister, Trisha. The shower was at Aunt Donna's and Uncle Bill's house. We arrived Friday night and stayed at the Hyatt Place in Robinson. What a beautiful hotel. Saturday we got up and went to breakfast at Eat n' Park with our friend Apryl. Apryl gave us tickets for the Carnegie Science Center to use on Sunday with Trisha and her kids. After breakfast Tracy and I went to see her father's grave. We had not been there in bit, so it was nice to go. After that, we ended up at Donna and Bill's for the shower. I waited until Jason got there and we went out for lunch. Tracy was thrilled to see all her relatives. We got lots of great gifts from some truly wonderful people. Thank you to all who were there.






Saturday night we went to the Pittsburgh Chop House. We had a terrific dinner and we highly recommend it to any one looking for a relaxing and delicious dinner. Sunday we got up and met Trisha and the kids for a day at the Science Center. We had a blast. (pics from this will be posted shortly) After lunch, we headed home.

24 Week Ultra Sound

Tracy and I went in for our 24 week Ultrasounds on Tuesday. By the time I arrived the technician had already shown Tracy Baby Boy A. Once again it was so amazing to see each baby. Baby Boy A is weighing 1lb 8oz and Baby Boy B is 1lb 7oz. Both are about 12 inches long and are growing wonderfully!!! Below are some of the scans from the ultrasound.

Tracy's First Baby Shower

Saturday was Tracy's first of four baby showers. This one was thrown by my mother in Salisbury. Tracy had a wonderful time. The weather was excellent and guest came from as far away as Minnesota (thanks Tia). It was nice to see everyone that we have not seen in a long time. Hopefully we will be seeing more of you soon. We received so many gifts and we are both so appreciative of everyone's generosity. Mom, thank you so much for planning this day for Tracy. We love you very much. Below are some photos from the shower.

20 Week Ultrasound

Tracy and I went in for her 20 week ultrasound today. As you read before, I wasn't able to go to her last ultrasound where she got to see every little part of each baby. Well I must say that it was absolutely amazing. It is so unreal to be able to see each part of your baby. The tech did a great job of capturing each baby for us. She got out the 4D ultrasound and took photos of each baby. Truly amazing. We were hoping that we would find out the sex of the babies today and we did. The doctor came in and did views of the heart, brain and then went to find the sexes. Each baby fully cooperated. Baby A was first and doctor said, "well there is outdoor plumbing". Then it was Baby B's turn. The doctor turned to Tracy and asked if she could throw batting practice. Baby B is a boy as well. We're having twin boys. The doctor said that it was possible that they could be identical. We had the understanding that because they were in separate sacs, they were fraternal. The doctor told us that it was possible that they split before they implanted and are identical. He said a simple blood test after birth would be able to tell us. We are both very excited. Stay tuned for more posts.
