Oh Boy!!!
Get ready for some more Owen boys because we are having two more!


Grandsons number 15 & 16 on Dave's side of the family with only one granddaughter. What is with those boy genes!?! We are really excited and everything went well with the ultrasound. I always get really nervous for this big ultrasound appointment. It took a full hour and a half of the tech measuring everything with the twins. I only remember Luke's taking about 10 minutes and this time my stomach and back were super sore. The tech kept trying to move the babies into different positions with that probe and it was so uncomfortable! But they are good and I keep imagining all of the many sporting games that I will be going to for the next long while...and surprisingly I am excited about it.

To answer some questions:
1- No they are not Siamese twins. I can't remember who asked me that but I thought it was weird.
2- The doctor said that they are most likely fraternal but there is still a chance that they could be identical. Since they are in very separated and have their own placenta etc.
3- Yes, we do have a lot of twins that run in the family but I am pretty sure it was the Clomid that did it more than genetics.
4- We were very surprised even though I was taking Clomid. It was the first month that I had ever gone on it, we were moving and the Dr. told us that there was only a 5% chance of having twins so I was pretty much in shock/panic mode. I hadn't put much thought into multiples even though Dave "predicted" twins 3 years ago and came home one day when Luke was a newborn to tell me the news. Not something that someone with a newborn needs to hear.
5- Will I nurse? I sometimes get this question. I ask myself the same thing everyday. I think in some way or another I will attempt. Either pump or one at a time and trade off. All I know is that I will not do that football holding two at a time thing (I am really not coordinated enough) and I won't be nursing for 16 months like I did with Luke. My goal is at least for the first few weeks. I am feeling anxiety and pain just thinking about it! But I will do my best. Any advice?
6- Due date February 23rd but planning on leaving January and February wide open.

Bring on a house full of boys! And are those bibs going to be the story of my life?
