Trinity Shower

Tracy and I were lucky to have Trinity Episcopal Church in Swarthmore give us the Double Stroller that we had registered for. On Mother's Day after church, they had a luncheon for the choir members and family at the Rectory next door to the church. Many of the choir members were there and it was a fun time, some even jumped on the trampoline out back!!!

Update Tomorrow

I have not been updating the blog as much and Tracy and I would like. I will be making a big post soon. Tomorrow Tracy has her non-stress test and her 8 month ultrasound. We also have the nursery almost complete. I have some great photos of the nursery and of our showers at Trinity in Swarthmore and at Settlement Music School. I will make separate posts for each.

28 Week Appointments

Today Tracy had her 28 week OB appointment and her ultrasound. The OB appointment didn't go as planned. Before you worry, the babies are fine and healthy. Tracy failed her first glucose test and also found out she is anemic. She has to go back in on Friday for a 3 hour glucose test to find out if she has gestational diabetes. She has to get blood drawn 4 times and has to drink a lot of sugar water. I feel sorry for her. I'll be there to help her out.

The ultrasounds were fantastic. Both babies are growing well. Baby A went from 1lb 7oz to 2lb 13oz and Baby B went from 1lb 8oz to 2lb 10oz. All that weight gain and Tracy only gained 3lbs. Boy does she look beautiful. Baby A was show off today and posed wonderfully for the photographer but Baby B was being a little bit of a pain in the butt. The doctor said that Baby A is breech and Baby B is laying transverse. We are very excited and can't wait to meet our boys.

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.

New Photos

Tracy is now almost 22 weeks. She has recently felt a little fluttering in her belly. Can't wait till they start having karate battles! Here are some photos from this weekend.
