Great Day :)

Today my twins turned six years old, and I saw the heartbeat of our little bean! Caboose baby is measuring at exactly 6 weeks four days with a strong heartbeat. I got two VERY bad pictures, but I have an appointment for a follow up appointment next week so I'm hoping I'll get a better picture then. I've been told to make an appointment with my OB, but to make it after my follow up visit. That is a nicer transition than they used to do where if you saw a heartbeat they just sent you in to the wilderness. I also walked away with a prescription for gel to squirt up my lady bits in exchange for the needles. It couldn't come at a better time because I'm running out of places on my butt that aren't lumpy, bumpy, and sore.

We took the kids out to a chain restaurant for dinner, mostly because DA has been begging us to go. We had a wonderful time. The kids enjoyed their food, especially the ice cream Sunday with the candles at the end. :) The boys looooved their presents. The hard part was getting them to go to bed when we came home after only playing with them for about a half an hour. (NB got Thomas coloring books, stickers, and both a new big box of crayons and markers, DB got an Imaginext space thing). I barely ate anything. It was so hot in the restaurant I thought I would die. I took some time cooling off outside when I went to get the gifts out of the van.

Sunday is the boys' big family birthday party. Looking around the house this evening I realize just how much I have to clean before I have my family here. Eeew that carpet is nasty! I haven't been doing any heavy cleaning like vacuuming all the carpets and scrubbing floors. It's been mostly picking up toys and clutter and doing laundry around here, along with a light cleaning of the bathrooms since the embryo transfer. It seems like a layer of grime and grunge has settled on everything...including the children. (it was bath night tonight, but we left early and got back too late). Now that I've seen a heartbeat I'm feeling more confident, but my husband is still going to have to help pick up the slack.

I can't believe my twins are six. I can't believe I'm actually pregnant again. Pretty soon reality is going to start sinking in...any minute now. I'm really a mom...and I'm going to be doing the baby thing again. Somebody pinch me :)
