Wow, it has been quite some time since I have updated this. I think I am way overdue my promise of once a month postings. I have made it to 21 weeks, and it feels great! We had an ultrasound at 18 weeks and found out that we are having a boy and a girl! We did find out that Baby Girl has a choroid plexus cyst on her brain...so we had to go for a level 2 ultrasound within the week. We met with the high risk OB and he really wasn't very concerned. He said it has been linked to genetic abnormalities like Down's Syndrome, but that it probably isn't anything, as bone growth and heart function look normal. He gave us the options of amniocentesis, fetal heart echo, or nothing...we opted for nothing as all it will do is raise our medical bills and our level of worry. I'm feeling well, other than feeling hungry all of the time. I have a fear of putting on too much weight as I have already reached 20#, but hey, it averages out to 1 # a week so far. If I keep up with it, I will only gain 38#'s right?

On another exciting note, we have a contract on our house! We just have to get through the home inspection tomorrow and hope they don't find any major problems! So, we may be homeless for a little while right around Thanksgiving if all goes as planned.
We also welcomed a new nephew this past week. Isaac Seth was born to Adam (Doug's younger brother) and his wife Kate. Can't wait to meet and snuggle that little guy!
All right, maybe you'll hear from me in another month or so :)
