July 10th

Anna will be getting tubes on July 10th! Yeah! We have our fingers crossed that she is able to hang in there until then and her belly settles down. It will be great to have it behind us.

As far as the poll, boy/girl combo is in the lead! :-)

Tubes

Well, we aren't surprised and in a way thankful that maybe soon this painful chapter will be behind us. Anna will be getting tubes. We are waiting to hear from the scheduler next week so we don't know the date yet.

We will keep you posted. We got a good nights sleep last night and we all could use many more!

Another niece!!!

Joe and Heather will be having a baby girl! Lina will have a little sister. Very exciting! Everything looks good and she is on track for a November 22nd arrival. Yeah!

Two more nieces this fall! Now we are just waiting until we find out what we are having! :-) Does anyone care to take a guess? Leave a comment with your guess! :-)

You may or may not believe this...

Anna has yet another ear infection. Yes, you read that right, another ear infection. We are trying something new while we wait to get in to see the ear, nose and throat doctor on Friday. She just could not hold out until then. Matt and I are exhausted... I can't imagine how Anna feels but I am sure it isn't good. Friday couldn't be here fast enough.

This part is the good news part. We should be going on the 7th to see what we are having! Yeah! Looking forward to finding out!!!

Twins update

The twins and I had a doctors appointment today (they had to come along, like it or not!). All is good. They were moving around like crazy so it took a while to confirm that both heartbeats were strong. I keep joking that we have two runners in there the way they are always moving! We will be meeting with the twin specialist in about two weeks and will get another ultrasound (and lots more to follow that!). We are very excited to find out what we are having! Yeah!

Anna's appointment with the ear, nose, and throat doctor will be on Friday morning. Keep your fingers crossed that she doesn't get an ear infection anytime soon. We all need a break! Poor thing.

Busy, busy, busy! :-)

Happy Father's Day!

Well, I somehow managed not to get a photo of Anna and her Daddy today, shame on me! Here are a few photos and a video of Anna playing with Lina water table that we thought you would enjoy!

A photo of Anna that Daddy took.

Lina enjoying her tricycle and Anna hanging out on the bench in back.

Anna loves the water. Had to take the dress off so she would have something dry to go home in! :-)

Watering the plants. (don't worry if you don't hear anything, I took the sound out of the clip!)

Update

Anna had a follow up on her ears yesterday and there is still fluid behind the ear drum. At this point we weren't surprised, unfortunately. We got a referral for an ear, nose and throat doctor and will meet with him and get his opinion. Basically at this point if Anna gets another cold, she will get another ear infection so we will be happy to have this behind us. We will let you know how that appointment goes.

My next appointment is on Monday, late in the afternoon. We are now 17 weeks along. Crazy! The goal is to get to 34 weeks (ideally longer of course) so that means we are at about the half way point. Wow! We will get the order from the doctor at that time and will find out what we will be having, yeah!

On another note, we are sending our love to Great Grandma. We love you! Here is a photo that I love, four generations.
