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

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
