Introducing The Fins

We have a theory in our house.  If a blog is neglected for more than a month, the next time it is update generally it is updated with big news.  We would love to prove our theory wrong; however, we cannot.  Camille would like to announce that she has again become pregnant.  The stick left little doubt as it clearly said "Pregnant".

 Again, what wouldn't a pregnancy post be without the traditional "in the bathroom holding the stick pic".  Please disregard Adam's deodorant and towel in the background and focus on Camille's happy face.  With this pregnancy Camille said she felt pregnant almost immediately and there was no surprise.  However, the surprises and fireworks were coming shortly.

 At 7 weeks or so things took a weird turn.  Camille was at work and called Adam to exclaim that there were some complications and things didn't feel right.  We feared that a miscarriage was happening and immediately went to the doctor.  The doctor then did an ultrasound to see if things were OK.  The doctor looked at the baby and said the heart beat was fine and things looked good.  Adam, being ever so intelligent, then asked if the other heart beat that was thumping next to the baby was Camille's heart beat.  The doctor looked at Adam, then looked at where the ultrasound wand was at, and said, "Well, generally the mother's heart beat is higher in the chest, this heartbeat is the other baby...you guys are having TWINS!!"  Adam, also being extremely sensitive, yelled out, "Crap, we have to buy a new car!!"

 At 13 weeks Camille finally started to feel better.  Adam was very happy because he could start eating certain foods without Camille wretching and running out of the room.  Adam got so sick of bland, non-smelling food, and Camille just got sick.  We were happy as a family to move past the first trimester.

 

At 16 weeks the shock has worn off a bit, and we have gotten more and more comfortable with the idea that we are going from a family of 3 to 5.  Camille is the uncomfortable one.  The first trimester she was sick and tired a lot.  The second she hasn't been sick as much as her hips have been killing her.  She has also gotten bigger sooner than with our first child.  

Adam has been racking his brain for a nickname.  With our first we called him Blasto; however, twins has been a challenge. We asked Grady what he thought of the twins and he told us that his mom does not have twins in her belly.  She has "FINS" in her tummy.  So, we have affectionately referred to them as "The Fins." We also found out just recently that they will be twin BOYS.  Camille will be greatly out numbered.  We have been trying to figure out two boy names and have struggled.  Again, we asked Grady what we should name them, and in true boy fashion he said, "Pancake and Hangaburger!"  Clearly, our son thinks with his stomach.



We are nervous, excited, stressed, and happy.  We have been so busy trying to get things done that yes, we have neglected our blog.  But, just this week, we got a new car and hope to have more time to put some updates on our blog.
