Little Dancers, Soccer Players?!

the girls have been super active lately!! I spend a good portion of my day just sitting there watching my stomach move around. It's pretty sweet, at times pretty uncomfortable especially when they just PUSH!! like it's no ones business, just really uncomfortable, still sweet though. An amazing thing that happened tonight, tim was talking to them because they were movin' and groovin' around and had his nose against my tummy & one of the girls kicked it. It was so great. We're really excited though, because we have a doctors appt. and ultrasound on tuesday. So this coming up Tuesday we'll have new updates and pictures on how the girls are doing :)


Until then!!

Take a look at those BEAUTIES!

Today was a GREAT DAY to see our little girls!


This morning we went in ULTRA EARLY to the ULTRAsound place for our monthly appointment! Both the girls weigh in close, but not identically. One weighs 1lb.10oz, while the other is 1lb.12oz. The doctor said that this was within a normal difference in weight. We will be going back in three weeks, March 29th, which is the same day as our next regular Baby Doctor appointment.


Emerae and Emmaline were very cooperative today for the entire ultrasound... right up until the part where it was picture time... We still got to see each of their beautiful faces in 3D, but our one little bundles was trying to hide her face right next to a womb wall. Big Mistake! 3D ultrasounds SEE THROUGH those things! The pictures came out great. the one that looks like she has a crunched nose is the one who was hiding. Her nose is fine, but the picture looks a little muddied.


Take a look below at our beautiful little baby girls!







Until Next Time, 
This is Tim signing off!

we've got two G-g-g-girrrlsss!!!!!!

The secret is out now that we've had the baby shower!! We've got two little girls in the oven!! :) We're so excited to just be able to say it now. :) We also have names which are, Emerae Lane Gruber (pronounced like Emery), and Emmaline Rose Gruber. We love our little girls so much already and we can't wait for them to get here!!

Last weekend was my baby shower in Pittsburgh, and it was just wonderful. There was so many people there celebrating with us and excited for their arrival. Tim couldn't make it, unfortunately, because this was the one weekend he had to work. The servers where getting updated at church, but he rocked it and survived almost an entire week without me!! yay!!!!

What made it even more special than the party was already, was the fact that all of my sister-in-laws came from all over, and my father and mother in-law came. It was just so awesome and special to get to see all of them, and that they came for the shower. I also got to see all of my nephews and nieces, I love them all so much!! They're awesome!

We're 24 weeks tomorrow, the awesome things going on with our girls this week?! Their lungs are developing the "branches" in the lungs, and other lungy things!! So incredible. We have our next doctors appointment on Tuesday, and the next Ultrasound on March 8th a week later...until then!!

Anatomy Scan Numero Dos!!

Today we are now 21 weeks 4 days into babies magic :)  We had our second Anatomy ultrasound today.  It was even better than the last one.  We could see all the chambers of their hearts, and just everything.  Also, their sexes were confirmed today, which we'll be able to share in about two weeks....patience people ;)  


The babies are growing fabulously though.  So much so that I have no more room, it's only outward growth, we got to see my own gallbladder and liver, which were locate up in or by the ribs now, right above the babies.  lol, both babies weigh 14 oz., so almost a pound EACH!! almost two pounds of baby at this point, yikes!!  We have some awesome pictures for you all to see, we left out the pictures that show their secret area....hehehehe ENJOY THE PICTURES!!!!


Oh, also, if I don't give birth by 38 weeks, they will make them come lol.  So, even though they probably won't the babies will for sure be born by June 3, 2011 now...hurray!!

we finally have internet!! So we may blog to our hearts content!!!!!!

Heyyy Evurbudaaayy!!!!!


Tim & Brit here bringing you a joint post!!  So what have we been up to you might ask?!  We MOVED!  We are almost on to 3 weeks of living in Maryland!  The babies are stupendous, and whirling and churning inside my belly.  


We go and see our new OB on Friday, so that'll be exciting.  The awesome thing is that she is a solo physician, which I (brit) am super pumped about.  The reason being?!  I'll only be seeing ONE doctor instead of a different doctor every time I go.  I like the idea of that better.  She tries to deliver every baby, so she only takes on so many woman at a time.  So Friday 1015am baby hour!


We haven't...our pictures....blah blah blah....


WE HAVE NEW PICTURES!! (they're actually pictures we've had for several weeks now, sorry interwebs)  They're from our anatomy ultrasound which we had several weeks ago, so they're old, but new for you all!!  It was the coolest thing EVER!! They pointed out their bladders, and bones, and WE GOT TO HEAR THEIR HEARTBEATS FOR THE FIRST TIME!! Amazing!!

I've had some back problems recently, had a minor trip to the ER, no biggie, just awful back pain.  Turns out it's just muscular skeletal.  So my back that wasn't super before pregnancy isn't enjoying the added weight in my tummy region too much.  Sad thing, I don't even had a humungous belly!! At least thats what people keep telling me :)  See for yourself!  Recent belly picture from a couple days ago, and the New/Old pictures of our babies!  We'll have brand new ones for you, like we said, on Friday!

January Baby Bump!

Babies!!!

We had our 16 week doctors appointment yesterday!!  Just like every other time it was so amazing to see how much they've transformed in just a month :)  They are now too big to both fit on one ultrasound (which doesn't help me very much in making them the background photo on my phone!! lol)  They look, as always, thank you Jesus, PERFECT!  The doctor said they have long legs (as to which they turned to Tim and said "wonder were they got that from.")  They are still our Bitty G's but it's easier to call them L and R, or the Left and Right baby because that's how they are positioned, instead of one on top of the other.  Poor Bitty Baby L was getting kicked in the head by Bitty Baby R.  It was funny, but I still felt bad.  I also weigh more now than I ever have in my entire life....ugghh!! all worth it though :)  Seeing the Bitty G's makes it ok.  So hopefully we'll find out what the Bitty G's sex's are on this coming up Tuesday, we have our anatomy scans on tuesday.  They have way better machines at the place we're going, and will be able to tell what they are easier there.  Although, the lady said after she was wiping the goop off of my tummy that she probably could've told me what sex each of them were... she just didn't look!!!!!! COME ON NOW!! You're not going to ask a person if they want to try and see?

Here are our little love bugs, and how awesome they look now :) L then R!

Quick Update, More Coming Tuesday

Hey EVRBUDAY!
Tim here. So we haven't had a lot to report lately on baby stuff.  Other than the size of the babies, and subsequently Brit's baby bump, not a lot has changed.  Over our visit to Pittsburgh, Brittany started feeling the babies bubbling away in her tomach!  Tomach bubblies are what she is feeling while the babies kick and swim and move around in there.  That's been pretty exciting for her for sure!

More to come on tuesday and probably some PICS too because thats our next appointment! SO STOKED!


PEACE,
Tim
