Pregnancy update

Hello to all. It has been, already, a roller coaster ride with this pregnancy over the past two weeks. However, I think we are now on solid ground. I had my second ultrasound today, at only 6 1/2 weeks, and we saw a very healthy little baby with a nice strong heart beat (144/min)! To answer any questions, There is just one! We checked, very well and it looks like indeed we have just one healthy bean in there.

Jonah is thrilled, although slightly disappointed because he was positive that there were three babies this time. I told him today that the doctor checked and there was only one. He sighed and said, "Well, we will call her Rose," and then bounded off to play with his legos. So, I guess that is that and Rose is now on her way. She is due April 26, 2011.

The twins are doing excellent and growing so fast. They play great together and demand so much less of my time than Jonah ever did. Very self-sufficient, even at one years old! If they want something, they can work together to move objects and push each other up to reach things in high places that they could not do alone. The best part is how unbelievably proud they are when they accomplish these feats. It is so worth seeing the looks on their tiny faces that I let them destroy a perfectly good unread newspaper just so I can watch.

So, that is the update. I will leave you with one last Jonah quote,

Maw: "Would you like some hummus?"
Jonah: "Hummus is my favorite thing in the world, 'cuz it's made of Greece and I love Greece."
