This is a picture from our last ultrasound. It is a 3D picture of the baby's face.You can see his/her eyes, nose, moth and cheeks (already lol). We keep joking that this baby has GOT to look like Avery or she is going to think she is adopted LOL.

15 week appointment
I had my 15 weeks appointment today. It went rather quickly and I FINALLY got to hear the baby's heartbeat... it was 156. My blood pressure is already starting to creep up (it was 132/72), and my weight stayed the same so they aren't going to worry too much about the bp yet.
I had the blood work for my quad screening and also got to make my appointment for our "BIG" ultrasound on August 6th. We are getting really excited to find out the gender of the baby (although we already have a pretty good idea--- well 75% sure anyways BUT you will have to wait along with everyone else).
All in all it went well. Hopefully at some point this week I will post some new pictures of the kids :)

18 month check up
Shelby and Avery had their 18 month well check at the neonatologist today and we are happy (and sad) to say that we will no longer having to have general visits with the Neonatology clinics any longer. Most children who are in the NICU at St. Alexius Medical Center only have to come for a few months until they get on the growth charts for their actual age and not gestational. Our girls were well on their way until they hit about 5 months old and then there was pretty much a stand still for weight gain and height growth. If you recall the girls were only 15 lbs at one year.
But today we reached a milestone that we thought would never come. WE ARE ON THE GROWTH CHARTS FOR THEIR AGE!!!!! Shelby is 20 lbs 11 ozs (8th%) and 29 1/4 inches (3rd%) and Avery is 20 lbs 15ozs (10th%) and 29 1/2 inches (5th%). We are thrilled. In fact I actually cried when Dr. Brown said that we no longer had to schedule visits.
Chad and I of course ended the visit with "we hope to not see you in November or December"... Dr. Brown (who is a very quick woman) caught on right away and gave us the congratulations and the whole "speech" about premature births can not always be explained and some times they just happen (which is not the case for us, as all three of the girls have been born early due to maternal issues). She also said that she hopes not to see us, unless of course it is because this lil one needs a c-section (c-section babies tend to have a lil NICU time just to make certain all the fluid is out of their lungs).
YAY!!! We are growing!!

Happy 4th of July
Just wanted to wish everyone a happy July 4th. Please remember our soldiers, their families and of course our fallen heros. Because without them... we wouldn't be allowed to be us.
Oh and by the way... the fireworks this year TOTALLY SUCKED... they were going off before it was even dark :(
