God is Good

I'm truly blessed friends and families. Thank you for all your prayer support and encouragement.

Preston and I took some time to pray before the Lord last night. I'm very much at peace right now. Praise the Lord. I know that He is faithful, and He'll not forsake His children. No matter what happen, God will provide.

Please continue to lift us up in your prayers. I'll go back to the perinatologist in 4 weeks.

Week 19

I went to the perinatology, or maternal fetal medicine, today. That's where I'd my "special" ultrasound (and no, it's not 3-d). The two buggers weren't too cooperative. They kept hiding their faces. The Doc said everything looks good, except for the head-to-limbs ratio is at the shorter end of the normal range. That is a soft-marker for down syndrome. And because they're identical (yes, my doc and this doc both agreed that they're identical and boys), they either both have down syndrome or don't have. I'll go back in 4 wks to check. I've decided not to do amniocentesis. PLEASE KEEP US IN YOUR PRAYERS!
-pray that the babies will be healthy
-pray that the marker is just transient and it will go away the next time I go back
-pray for Preston and I to have strength and keep our faith in the Lord as we're going through all these.

As parents, you just want your children to be healthy. Thank you for all your prayers!

Backache

I can really feel my backache a bit more now that the babies are bigger. Seems like everything I do makes my back aches now.

After all the rain that came through this week, my parents' basement is finally kinda flooded. No big damage, but because my parents have LOTS of stuff down there, it's sort of a mess. Now I have all the excuse to throw away all my dad's junks! Yes!~ Except, I can't help much... Preston will have to do most of the clean up. My parents really picked a good time to not be here :/

Week 18

I went to my check up this morning.

Both babies were quite active today, kept moving around, when the doctor was listening to their heart beats. Boys...I'm going to have more than a handful after they're born.

<-- That's me this week, after gaining total of 18 lbs!!! Thank goodness, it's all in my tummy.

Pass It On

I need more maternity clothes!!! If anyone has any to spare, please pass it along this way. Thank You SoOOoo Much!!!! I really hate shopping...I got some a few weeks ago, but I can use a few more pieces.

Any suggestions and advices, please pass it on, too. I feel so clueless...especially being a new mother of two, at the same time!

Oh, and ladies only:
any moms out there know where I can get maternity bras???

Catching Up To Wk 17

Finally, here's a blog for our babies!!!!

Neither Preston or I are much of a blogger. But by requests, we're setting one up for the babies.

To start with beginning, we found out that I'm pregnant sometime in May. It was definitely a surprise o.0!!!

3 weeks later, we got another surprise. There are TWO of them in there. I'm having twins!!!! No one in our families have multiples, or so we thought...we found out from my mom, who found out from her sister, that her grandfather, my great grandfather, whom I never met, was one of a twin. His twin never survived though. I supposed the survival of multiple births are pretty low back in the days. But that's about it. The weird thing was I dreamed that it will be twins just couple days before the ultrasound. Freaky, eh?!?

I'm at wk17...I think. (I'm losing track already; the twins are really sucking up my memory :P)

The "all-day sickness" has finally subsided after the first trimester. Thank you God!!! Now I'm just super moody. I'll cry like it's the end of the world for the smallest thing. My poor hubby~ oh and I'm hungry like ALL the time.

Last Wednesday, we found that we're having two boys...Preston really really really wanted a girl, but hey, what are you gotta do. You just have to take what God gives you. We're just thankful that they're both doing well. One is actually quite active, too. My doctor is asking me to do a special ultrasound. Don't ask me what that special ultrasound is, cuz I haven't gone yet, so I dunno. I figure it would probably be one of those 3-D ultrasound. My doctor wants to take a better look of the placenta(s).

P.S. - my bellybutton is looking quite weird nowadays. thank goodness I'm not an outie yet and hopefully it won't :P

P.P.S.- Most of all, please keep us in your prayers! God Bless!!!!
