Getting started...

So I am starting this blog to keep myself and others updated about my pregnancy and about how Joey is doing. Sometimes its hard to remember all of the important things that go on during our lives (weather its during pregnancy, childhood, or even adulthood) so I want to share things with my friends and family that I wouldn't just call them up and tell them.


On the baby front, I am pregnant (in case you all didn't know!) We found out on June 1 that we were expecting our second child! We were very excited but had to wait to tell people until my parents got back from Jamaica. Everyone seemed very excited to hear it! Some were more shocked than others, but they aren't the ones raising the child. On June 21, Father's Day, we got another shock. I went to the ER from work because I had been having a substansial pain in my left side. They wanted to do an ultrasound so that they could rule out an etopic pregnancy. They concluded that I did indeed have a cyst on my ovary, but we also found out that we were having TWINS! Marc and I were both shocked. I had to call him to tell him because he was visiting his parents for Father's day. I told him and he couldn't believe it. I had to tell his mom because she wouldn't believe him! So we have just been mentally preparing for the fact that we are having twins. We have to have doubles of everything now! Here is the ultrasound picture...

On the Joey front....He is getting so big! I can't believe that he is 9 months old now. He is babbling nonstop, sleeping through the night, getting into everything and crawling all over the place. He likes to walk when someone is holding his hands. He eats everything in sight as well!! We went to the dr for his 9 month check up the other day. He was 22 lbs (70th percentile), 28 7/8 in long (75th percentile) and his head circumfrence is in the 80th percentile! He is wearing 12 or 18 month clothes depending on the brand. He is such a blessing in my life. I can only hope that these babies are as good and as happy as he is!
