From a family of 3 to 5!!

Ok so in my last post I joked about there being Twins. Well come to find out there are! LOL! Can life get any more crazy for us!

I was having some cramping that I was concerned about so I contacted the doctor and they had me come in to look at two things. They were looking to be sure the baby was not in the fallopian tubes and to make sure I wasn't miscarrying. Well neither of those were the case. I have a large cyst about the size of a large chicken egg on my right ovary and I have rapid uterine growth because there are two babies growing inside of me!

My due date is September 27, 2010 but the doctors won't let me go any further than September 12/13 because of my previous c-section and twins. So I can only pray we don't have these babies early as twins are known for arriving early.

I'm sad that because of twins now I'll be limited on my activities this summer. I was still hoping to help out with my 4-H kids and there projects but don't know if I'll be able to do so as I'm going to have to take it extra easy so these babies don't arrive early. This will be very difficult for me.

So my morning sickness has greatly increased since my last post as well. It took a little while for it to show it's ugly head. It is not as severe as it was with Jaden but it is not fun. I'm having a really rough time with my sleep habits. I'm trying to adjust to sleeping more because if I don't get enough sleep then I get sick as well...yuck.

I'm now 10 weeks and 6 days and showing quite well already....I'm going to be HUGE.

Justin is now working nights at Glanbia, not in a truck thank god. But he has taken the intake coordinator job for nights. It was less days to work and more money...can't beat that. He is now only working 14 days a month instead of 20 or so. Adjusting to him not being here at nights has been something new but I'm slowly adjusting. It'll be nice when the babies are here for him to be able to be up on the nights he is off work!

Jaden, oh my gosh! She is so funny these days. That personality just keeps growing and growing. Her vocabulary is also growing! The other day she came up to me and said "I Jaden Wilks, you Mommy Wilks and that baby Wilks" while pointing at the correct thing every time. It was so cute! I don't know if she 100% comprehends that she is going to be a big sister times 2 or not but she does like to ask about the babies in my belly and rub her belly to see if she also has a baby. I think it will be neat for her when the babies are moving and she can feel it from the outside.

Oh by the way I am starting to feel the babies move already. I've been feeling it for a little over a week. At first I thought I was just hallucinating but I really think it is the babies. I read online that your supposed to be able to feel multiples earlier on. I'm just feeling the butterfly flutter movements but it is still so cool!

Lets see anything else happening at the Wilks Home lately?...Hattie our doe goat gave birth to Twins in late February. She had twin boys. They are cute! We gave away Cheif to a friend so he doesn't re breed Hattie right now. My 3 Jerseys, Printessa, Priscilla & Precious all had there babies in Jan/Feb. We got two bulls and one heifer, Prudence, Prince & Ping! They are cute. The bulls Prince and Ping seem to keep getting sick on me though so I hope they can make it over the sickness and be OK. Thankfully the heifer has remained pretty healthy all the way. *Knock on wood*. We are waiting on Jaden's cow, Magazine, to calve any day. Hopefully Jaden gets her first heifer calf! Well I think that is all the updates I have!
