So far so good!

Well Rush and I went to my first appointment with the specialist down in Wilmington this past Wednesday. So far he said everything is looking great. In his words the babies have "beautiful anatomies," which is what every momma wants to hear. :) As of now one baby is slightly bigger than the other, the Dr. said that is perfectly normal, and to be expected. And as far as scanning for TTTS, I found out all they do is an ultrasound and measure the amount of fluid around each baby. The fluid levels were slightly different (just like their sizes) but that we are still good and have no worries yet. Main thing is for me to be on top of my nutrition and exercise. He even tried to see if he could tell the sex of the babies! Of course they weren't developed enough to tell (I'm in week 14) but we're hoping that maybe at our next visit in two weeks we'll be able to see some clues as to what we're expecting. :)

We also found out that our Dr. was from Abilene! And went to med school at UTSA right around the same time that Leland did, so our job is to find out if they might possibly know each other before our next visit! It truly is a small world.

Now as for Thanksgiving...he did NOT want me to travel. He didn't like the idea of me traveling after week 26, but he did give me advice if I decided to "break the rules." SO I did some looking and I will be right at 26 weeks and figure I will just be on my best behavior while I "break the rules!" We are really looking forward to being able to see all of our family since it will probably be next summer when we are moving back to Texas (we hope) before we will see everyone again. Either way, we are both looking forward to Thanksgiving and getting to spend time with family.

Now I know everyone is hearing all about Earl and NC and all of the evacuations. Well we were not given a warning to evacuate so I think I will be just fine riding it out with the pups. Heck, I slept through the one that came through last year! I think we will just have some wind and rain and a lot of branches and leaves to pick up this weekend. Nothing major. And if we lose power I have plenty of flashlights, a radio, lots of water, food, and dog food. All in all I'm thinking it's going to be a good night to curl up with a book! :)

And last but definitely not least, I get to brag again! This is breaking news, so much so that I had to call Rush and tell him, even though it is about him! We just found out that Rush has been career designated! Yay! This doesn't mean we know where we are going to be relocating to, but that it is highly likely we will be a military family for 3 more years. CONGRATS Babe! I knew you would get this, and I'm so proud of you! I love you!
