The update...
I'm so sorry to leave ya'll hangin'. Thank you SO much for all of your concern, thoughts & prayers. The babies & I are all doing just fine. The spotting stopped (thank goodness) after a couple of days & I was able to return to work at the end of last week, with strict orders to TAKE IT EASY. So no more marathon cleaning sessions... ooops.... (who wants to volunteer to come clean my house?)
The reason I was waiting to update is I had my normal Dr. appointment today. I finally got to hear the heartbeats with the Doppler thingy. So here they are... the baby on the right side was 152 & the baby on the left side was 140. That doesn't substantiate my idea that the baby on the left is a girl & the one on the right is a boy... but who knows? They say that heart rate thing is a wives-tale anyway. For those of you who don't know about the wives tale... the story goes that if the HR is above 140 its a girl & below 140 is a boy. So for any believers out there, I'm sure you'll think the right side baby is a girl. But the left side... the crazy one who never stops moving... a mystery!
On more good news, I felt the babies kick for the first time recently. I heard you could feel them earlier with twins but I was surprised. The one on the left (as indicated) I can feel a lot more but its still sporadic for now. Sam was able to feel it & so was my niece Carly. Fun stuff!
And to end this post, some exciting news... I get to go have a consultation with a "high risk" specialist downtown in the medical center in a couple/few weeks. The good part about that is that they'll do a high-tech ultra sound and we'll not only have some awesome pictures but know the genders! I thought we'd have to wait until my next dr. appointment! Yay for high risk babies! (Just kidding).
Ok, that's all for now!

Anyway, just wanted to tell you that I think you're having a girl and a boy, but Trapper says that he keeps wanting to say "Alisha's twin girls," so we'll see what happens. HMM maybe he and I should make a wager and bet on it.
