Perfection...thank you Jesus!!

Well, we had our babies doctor appointment today!!  It was the greatest thing to be able to see their hearts beating again, and to actually see them moving. They actually look like babies as well, with arms and legs!!  The doctor said they looked perfect, which is always a wonderful thing to hear.  :)  My mom was able to come with us, and she was just as excited as we were to see them.  It was so funny, because Bitty Baby A was dancing around whenever we were watching.  Then Bitty Baby B was trying to dodge all the pictures every time the doctor went to take a picture.  It's so great and cool to see that each of them already has their own personality!  Enjoy the picture of our babies!!  We love them bunches already!

"...her lovely baby bump..."

Where my home-doggies at?!? Tim here.
Info news, baby bump news, and food news today!

We've been feeling like we needed to update y'all. On monday, we go to visit Brit's "At Risk" nurse lady so she can tell us all the different things that go down with having multiples and how that's different with just having one baby. We're pumped, although I don't want to get super bored-ified. It'll be at least an hour long, with LOTS-o-info to ingest! I'll probably be fine.

In other Babies G news, the "pooch" has arrived. Brit is clearly showing a cute little baby bump. While Brit's parents were here visiting on friday, we went to the mall and hung out. This all spurred on Brittany and Mom to go into this maternity store for what seemed like FOREVER! She sighed a huge sigh of relief while sitting around the house last night and today with some new prego-apparel on. I heard something about her expanding baby bump feeling fine and fancy free.

Cravings are kicking in a little more this last week. It has been nothing too crazy! I've been stoked because on several occasions Brit has requested food I like a lot! No.1 Chinese, Panera Bread, Olive Garden, and many more have been on the craving ballot. Let me tell you, I'm sure it's been so much easier, so far, when we've been voting for the same parties and candidates.

Almost Bedtime, for Brit anyway, so I'll catch you on the flip-side!


Peace,
Tim "Laser Daddy" Gruber

Bitty babies G!!

We went to the OB today and had our AWESOME appointment. Basically we found out....TWWWWINNNSS!!!!!!  I think that's self explanatory... Also, we are due on June 22!  As you know with twins though, we will have them a couple weeks before that...(please dear Jesus help me to have them before that) haha  We are so very excited! It was a huge shock!  Totally makes sense though, because I was already starting to get a baby bump, and I'm only 2 months along.  So it makes me feel better that I'm caring two times the babies, and not just getting FAT. lol I know I haven't been able to stop smiling since we found out and we also got an ultrasound!! Here's Bitty Babies G for the first time for you all to see!! Say hello to bitty baby G a and bitty baby G b :)

Stomach Virus :(

Yesterday was an awfully awful day. I woke up yesterday morning, on my day off, and thought I had "morning sickness" as usual. A little more intense than, but I didn't think anything of it. So very wrong! 11am came and past which is when it all usually ends, and it didn't end, it just got worse. Grossness came (that's all I'll say) and I ended up having to go get anti nausea meds and fluids. Tim thought I was getting too much attention, so when we were at the premiere medical place getting my fluids he decided to get in on the action, and threw up in the bathroom there. Haha oh my goodness. So we were in separate room, both hooked up to IV's. Then when we got home, Tims dad came home early from school, and he had the same thing, and mom wasn't feeling so hot either. Now we are all home sick from work (minus tim hah.) family sick-in!!!!

Just keep us all in your prayers :)

More Sick-ing More-ning Sick-ing-ness

Tim Here!

Brit's having a rough day with morning sickness. She threw up, then ate more macaroni, then finally threw up again. YUM! It's her day off, and she's been sick all day so far. (I almost posted a pick of macaroni here... haha)

This to shall pass! It may be 4 more weeks of the first trimester, so we're hoping that will be the end of it. We are SO looking forward to having more concrete stuff from the Doctor/Midwife/WhateverYouCallThem!

Thanks again for your prayers! If you feel the need to encourage her, give her a text or call, I'm sure she'd enjoy that. (don't tell Brit I said anything though *wink*)

peace

Morning Sickness

Well first things first, the baby (if we're at the week we think we're at) is the size of a blueberry! 1/2 in long :) yay for Bitty G!!  Also, starting two days ago, the morning sickness has set in.  It's also actually in the morning too, so imagine me, at Starbucks, feeling sick, trying to pretend not to be, and keeping on going.

It's not as bad as it could be though.  There's only a nausea feeling though, nothing actually coming out (thank goodness!)  I will survive, and get through hopefully only a few weeks of this feeling in the mornings.

- Brittany

(Boo for sickness in the morning! Also, Hurray for BLUEBERRY BABY and WEBBY FINGERS AND TOES! - Tim)

Bitty-G!

So you may have noticed, or heard it said, that we are calling our unborn child Bitty Baby Gruber... aka: Bitty-G! Since we don't know the sex, or even exactly how far along, we figured a nickname was best. We're rolling with it and it seems to be popular with the family.
Speaking of 'along', we're freaking out and stoked and we can't wait for the doctor's visit!

We saw a bunch of pretty gender-neutral and all natural baby clothes on major clearance at target and almost bought stuff... also contemplated clearance diaper stockpiling.. We'll see, I guess.

Anywho, that's all for now.


Peace

The Final Persons!

Today we finally got to tell Aaron, Jenny, and the kids we were pregnant. The final persons to tell for the next 2 weeks until our baby doctor appointment. It was awesome, and so very funny, thanks once again to a little girl named Elanor Gruber. Caleb at once was excited as was Ellie, then when everyone else was talking she turns to me and says, "If it's a girl (she's thinking about this very hard) she can be my sister." I proceed to tell her that they couldn't be real sister, but maybe like sisters or best friends, which she was ok with. She continues this think and then says, "We could name her...(pause) ILoveJesus." haha so sweet and awesome. I'm sorry though Ellie, even though you can't read this Uncle Tim and Aunt Brittany won't be naming your cousin that. After that both Caleb and Ellie proceeded to hold hands and spin in a circle yelling "yay yay yay." I am so tired and exhausted after staying up late last night, still waking up early this morning (not on purpose) and spending an awesome day with my parents. Good night everyone :)

Prego Her Eggo!

Tim here. It's so nuts to think my wife is at least 6 weeks along, MAYBE MORE. We can't wait to find out way more in a few weeks at the Doctors'.
We told our parents and siblings over the last few days, and everyone was so pumped! It was nice to finally have other people to talk to about it all.

My dad gave us this today, it was just a fun (and tasty) gift.














"For Tim, Brittany, and Da Lil One!"

It's a big carrot cake cupcake that has been frosted and dressed as a cute ghost!



More coming soon!

Maybe 5 Weeks?! Cool Video!?! (cry)

If the internet can calculate things correctly then we are at 5 weeks right now!!  We'll know for sure on November 8 when we have our first doctors appointment.  Here's a little video we found today, that shows what stages Bitty Baby Gruber is in...enjoy!! Video Link

(Also Brit had her first cry-down today randomly... "welcome to pregnancy," she said.. -Tim) 

The + on the test!!

Big Big news!!  We just found out yesterday October 16, 2010 that we are having a baby :)  It's so exciting and scary, but a good scary, a great scary! The only stinky part, we aren't telling anyone yet!  Oh my goodness, I just want to be able to tell our family and friends, yet we made the decision to wait until we go to the doctors before we tell everyone. (sorry to family members who are reading this at a later time.)  We decided today to keep a blog about my experiences being pregnant, and Tim's job of dealing with me while I'm pregnant :)  As of this point, we're not sure how far along we are, but tomorrow I'll call the Doctors and set up an appointment, and hopefully we'll find out soon!

Anything weird with pregnancy I've experienced yet?!  A newfound love of MUSTARD!! never liked it before, LOVE it now...

until a later time,
Brittany and probably her poppyseed :)
