24 Weeks and LOVING it!!!

So I did skip a week...thought I would update after our 2 appointments that we had this week :) We have our ultrasound on Wednesday...it went great! Our baby girl is heads down and our little boys is heads up. There is still plenty of time for him to turn which means I will be able to have a vaginal birth. I pray that both the babies are stress free and in the correct position and we will be good to go the "v" way.

We just got home from our doctor check-up and both babies measured up at 24 weeks...yippeee! They are both growing at the same rate and right on track...thank you God :) On the other hand, I measured up at 28 weeks...tell you how fast I have grown and how having 2 babies inside make a big difference. Doc said that each time I will be further along in measuring up, which is perfectly normal for TWINS!!!

I am advised to take it easy from here on due to the possibility of contractions happening with a multiple pregnancy. I am allowed to take short & slow walks...pretty much my limit. I pray that everything continues to go great and that the babies continue to grow at the same pace. God has blessed us thus far and I have Faith that he will continue to be by our sides.

We are getting more and more excited as time continues to fly! We will be moving into our new home April 24th, so lots to keep us busy!!! I miss you all and can't wait to see you soon :) Have a wonderful weekend and enjoy the most recent BABIES BUMP!!!

24 Weeks and 2 Days!!!

22 WONDERFUL Weeks

Hello to you all! I am now a little over 22 weeks and still feeling GREAT :) It seems that My BABIES Bump is popping out more and more everyday, I LOVE it!!! We did some TWINS registering yesterday at Target and Babies R Us...it was a long day, but got a lot done. Grant and I had so much fun picking out all the things we are going to be needing. We continue to pray everyday for Healthy babies and that we can be the BEST parents that God has intended for us. Thank you for all your continuous prayers :)

As for the HOUSE update...we made an offer last Saturday and.........they accepted it Monday evening! We are so thrilled and excited to know that we have a huge load off our shoulders and that we will be in a "home" before the TWINS arrive :) We take possession April 24th and will have plenty to keep us busy up until that point and beyond!

Other than that, we are all doing wonderful and look forward to seeing everyone soon! We have an Ultra Sound April 25th and then our Doc Appt follows-up on the 27th. Please continue to keep healthy babies and pregnancy in your thoughts and prayers. Thank you God for this amazing Blessing!

Enjoy a few pictures of the growing BABIES Bump and our SOLD sign :)

21 Weeks

Everything is going GREAT! I can't believe how fast time is going...the weeks are flying! The TWINS are moving more and more everyday :) It is such an amazing feeling and the best part is that Grant has got to feel the BABIES more too! I am feeling wonderful...full of energy and loving every minute of carrying these TWINS :)

There are still those random moments....Grant said today, "Chas...we are having 2 babies...TWINS"...we both get the biggest smile and share a few chuckles together! How excited we are :)

Today was a little tiring...we went house shopping...looked at 3, loved 1 and of course they just accepted an offer Thursday. The other 2 were asking too much for what we would be getting. Lots of updating...yuck! So we decided to write an offer on one that we have had our eye on for a long time. We decided to low-ball them and see what their reaction is...never know! We should find something out by Monday evening....cross your fingers for us!!!

Hope all is well with everyone and can't wait to see you! Please continue to keep these precious BABIES and the rest of my pregnancy in your thoughts and prayers :) We thank God everyday for the wonderful blessing of allowing us to carry two babies and look forward to loving them sooo much! Much love :)

Love Grant, Chas & Daisy Arnoldink

Doc Check-up at 20 Weeks

We had our first Doctor check-up since finding out that we are having TWINS! It went very very good. My Doctor was rather surprised when he looked at my file and had to take double takes at all the paperwork and notes. He was amazed that I have been and continue to measure up to carrying a single baby, rather than twins. He said....it must be your height and YES I do have the extra room to carry :) I am right on track at 20 weeks and all checked out great...

Some info we learned...I will start to have an ultrasound every month from now on and then start having check-ups every 2 weeks after our next appointment in 4 weeks. The keep a close eye on the growth of Twins; making sure the amniotic fluids and gestational sacks are at the levels where they should be. They check the growth of each Twin to make sure they are at the same rate and one is not stealing all the nutrients.

Twin pregnancies are normally pre-term pregnancies, so having TWINS at 36 weeks is very common. You know what that means....we have lots to keep us busy until June, which is a great thing :)

We have started house shopping, hoping to find something before the TWINS arrive. All is going great and we are sooooo excited to meet these two little blessings that will enter our lives!

Hope all is well with each one of you and we look forward to posting the next TWINS update! Here are are few photo's of the growing Babies Bump at 20 Weeks :)
