First Appointment Shocker!

Today was our first appointment with our OBGYN and what an appointment!!

Our babies are due June 24th. That's right, babies! Kelly and I are expecting twins! OMG, right? That's what I said!! We joked and joked about the possibility because as far as we knew there were no twins in either family, but apparently my Grandpa Peck has uncles that are twins. So, I guess I'm the lucky one to carry on the tradition. The appointment went great. Our Dr seems really nice! We went in to get the ultrasound and there they were... 2 cinnamon bears with 2 heart beats! I cried, said a few profanities and then cried some more! The Dr. wasn't expecting twins, he wasn't alone in that department, but we've set up another ultrasound for next week to take pictures. This is just crazy!!


How am I doing? Well... I'm a little freaked out now. I couldn't imagine how we were going to manage one newborn, let alone two!! Both babies are measuring 10.2 weeks and are expected June 24th. Of course there are more risks with having twins... such as premature births but I'm trying not to think about that now! I'm definitely worried about the extra weight gain. I was scared enough as it is with being pregnant, now carrying 2... Man this is going to be hard!!

I've put up a new voting poll on my side bar with new questions... We'll find out early February the sex of the babies. Let's hope Boy AND Girl! We'd be done with only 1 pregnancy!

More posts to come... I've got to go process all of this! Love to all!

Baby? Yes Please!!

Yep, if you haven't already heard through the grapevine or my updated facebook status, I'm pregnant! That's right, Kelly and I are expecting our first child June 2010. We confirmed with a Family Practice Dr. on 10/27 and still can't believe it. Weren't really planning or trying for a baby... but it happened! It has been so hard to keep it a secret since then... I know I'm still in the early stages but I can't hold it in anymore! I'm excited and I want to share it with family and friends!!

I don't have much to say now, only that I'm a little over 2 months along and am nauseous 24/7. I've only had a few days of real morning sickness, but so far so good. I haven't really been eating... due to the my constant nausea and food not sounding good. But I'm trying to get better! I've been stuffing myself with Honey Nut Cheerios, PB&J Sandwiches, Mashed Potatoes, and Kettle Corn. I know, not the most balanced pregnancy diet... but it's the only thing that sounds good and that I can keep down. Smells are starting to get to me, which I never thought would happen.

We have our first visit with an OBGYN on 11/30 at the new IMC Hospital in Murray. I'm really excited but nervous as well. Once I got married, my new insurance no longer covered my old Dr, so I'm starting off new and that can be a little nerve racking! We don't have a set due date... but I've done some calculating and if I'm correct we'll be expecting our little bundle of joy late June 2010.

So I'm stressing!! Which isn't good for me or the baby. But not having planned this pregnancy, I'm just really worried about finances. I mean I know you can never be fully ready for a baby... but we didn't really prepare at all. But as my husband always says "Things will work out!" And they always seem to!

Be sure I'll be keeping you all posted over the next 7 months and I'll be sure to post my due date right after the Thanksgiving Weekend!

Thank you to my family for being very supportive!!
(especially our roommates!!)
