5/20/00 We WILL BE HERE MAY 23RD. Please check back on the 26 to see our new pages. That will give mommy time to settle at home.

4/18/00 Mom and dad spend the better part of yesterday at L&D. Mommy was having more contractions, but the nurses stopped them again.Unlike before mom got to come home. She is doing well.

4/13/00 We all went to our doctors appointment today. Our regular doctor is on vacation so we saw one of his friends. Mommy has lost weight and nobody knows why. She is also having contractions, but they are not regular right now. Doctor said that if mommy has too many contractions at this point she will dialate even more and then there is no turning back, we will be deleivered.Mom is still at 2 1/2 cm. dialated and effacing even more.So for now mom and dad is just playing the waiting game on us.

We also want to take this time to ask everyone to pray for mommy's grandma. She is in the hospital suffering from a heart-attack, and she has cancer really bad.The doctors cann't do much for the cancer right now because of how weak her heart is but they are doing everything they can.

4/10/00 Mom and dad did some shopping this weekend. They got us a crib and now our room is almost finished. Grandma Philp went home this weekend. She had been here for the last week helping mommy do some things around the house. THANK YOU GRANDMA!

Mommy is still having contractions. We all go back to the doctors on Thur. again. Everyone is still hoping for us to stay nice and cozy in our little home til at least Easter. Things are getting crowded in here.

4/5/00 Well mom had to go back to the hospital again Tuesday night, with more contractions. Once again the doctor stopped us from coming. This time they used Indocin. Mom was only in for 24 hours. Mom had some changes since the last time. She is now 2 1/2 cm. dialated and 50% effaced, and her cervix is now 1 1/2 cm long. Which means that we are on our way.

We all go back to the doctors tomorrow for moms appointment. We'll let ya know how things go.

3/30/00 We all went to the doctor for moms sonogram. Doctor said everything is going well. We are now 2 1/2 lbs. Mom has hit 140 lbs. Doctor is still hopng for us to stay in here until at least Easter. Mom is not too sure if we will be able to do that. She is having alot of contractions, and now she is having alot of back-pain with them. We all have to go back to the doctor on the 6th of April. We'll keep yall updated as things happen to us.

3/28/00 Hello everyone. Sorry it has been a while since our last entry, but this past weekend has been a WILD roller coaster!

Saturday afternoon Mommy was having alot of painful contations and Daddy took us all to the hospital to be seen to find out why? Well the thing was we wanted to see mom and dad so we decided to come early! The doctors had a different idea for us . They put mommy on magnesiam. A drug to slow down contrations so we are not born too early. Mom was not in great spirits after getting that med,But she made it thru it.

Mom is now dialated to 2 CM. Doctor sent us all home today on orders of TOTAL BEDREST!! Mommy is taking it easy in hopes that we can stay in here for at least 3-4 more weeks. NO PROMISES!!!

3/20/00 This weekend a friend of mommy and daddy took all of us out for dinner. Mommy got to eat crab-legs again. Have we mentioned that we REALLY like them.

Mommy is feeling us more now. She has been having something called contractions more and more lately. She said that some times they even hurt.

3/17/00 HAPPY ST. PATRICK'S DAY

3/16/00 We went to see the doctor today. This is a new doctor since mommy and daddy had to switch to a different hospital. Mom and dad like this doctor, they say he is really nice and funny.

Mom had her sugar test today and the doctor wants to see us again in 2 weeks. He will do an ultrosound at the next visit. He also check mommy to see how she is doing, he was very happy with the out come. Things are going really well.She has even gained more weight than she thought. Mom is up to 137 lb. He even said that he is pretty sure that mom will get to deleiver us naturally. But he does want her to have a epidural just in case things change.

Daddy is still debating whether or not to cut our cords, but he still has time to decide.

3/10/00 This week mommy has been doing alot better. Less black-outs, her only complaint right now is she is tired all the time. But that is to be expected for as big and as far along she is.

We are entering our 3rd trimester. Doctors saids that we are about 2 lbs. and about a foot long. But even as little as we are we sure do move and cause some pain, not only to mommy but also to daddy. He gets kicked if mommy lays next to him or even if he rests his head on mommy's tummy it seems like we both like to kick him at the same time. LOL

Daddy said that mommys "popper" is almost out.We think he is talking about her belly-button. Dad keeps telling her we can't come out yet until the "popper" is all the way out. We think; he thinks we are turkeys. Daddy is such a funny guy! LOL

Mommy has to be in so many different rooms because she starts in one room then gets to go to the room that we all will be sleeping in, after that room we all go to an O.R. just to make sure everything goes well. From there if mom has what is called a c-section we all go to the recovery room, if she doesn't then we all go back to our sleeping room. Mom and dad are getting really excited about our big day.

Mommy is still growing and growing, things are really getting tight in here. Mommy is still taking her life easy. She is making the most of her bed-rest. She is sick today so all she did all day was sleep but she deserves that.

2/5/00 Mommy and daddy have been busy adding more things to our page. Some of you might be wondering why our names are gone and replaced with pictures.....Well the reason is that mom and dad have been doing alot of talking and some things have come up that might reflect what our names will be. So they are going to play it by ear until our birthday. Sorry everyone we can't give away mom and dads secrets.

Mom and dad have been getting things for us every week. But they need to get alot more considering that they have to double everything that they buy. We are moving alot more and kicking alot.

Daddy felt both of us last night for the 1st time. He thought it was really neat. We are growing really fast now and mommy is getting more and more pressure on almost everypart of her tummy and side. Mommy told daddy that she can feel us all over in her belly,We are moving more and more everyday. Everything is going really well right now.

1/14/00 Well yesterday was the day that everyone was waiting for. Daddy and mommy found out that we are a little boy and a little girl. They are really excited.
Everyone that called to see what the doctor told mom and dad were so thrilled to hear that we are going to be boy/girl. and that we are growing like crazy. The doctor told mom and dad that we are growing a week ahead of what she thought. The doctor is really nice and helps mom and dad with any questions that they have. So right now everyone is planning for us to make our entry into the world between the end of april to the middle of may.

Our grandma Sellers was so excited that now she will have 4 little grandsons and 1 granddaughter.

Mommy couldn't figure out why she could feel more kicking and moving on her left side, well she found out why! Tigger(boy) is on the right side and Pooh (girl) is on the left. Tigger is kicking mommy and Pooh is kicking Tigger. Sorry Tigger!!

1/9/00 This week has been hard for mom and dad. Mommy is still having her dizzy spells. We all went to see the doctor and she told mom and dad that hopefully this will get better as we grow and the months go bye. Daddy takes care of mommy if they do have to go out.

12/29/99 We all went to the doctor today. Mommy is still having problems. She gets dizzy and faints alot these days. She told mom that the reason she is haveing her spells is because mommy has REALLY low blood pressure. Doctor thought that she needed to be pumped up on liquides, But that didn't work either. Her blood pressure was the same. The doctor did another sonogram today too. Told mom we are going to be 5-6 lbs. each if we keep growing like we are.Mommy still hasn't gained alot of weight. She is up to 117 1/2.

That means that mom is now on TOTAL bedrest. No driving, at all, no nothing!! But all in all mommy is holding out for the best right now, still tired and having back pains but she is a tough lady. The doctor couldn't do an ultrosound this time but she will on Jan 13th, Which is moms next visit.so mommy and daddy have to wait another month before they know if we are boys, girls, or both. Daddy got to hear our heartbeats for the 1st time. He was so excited, now he actually knows we are in mommys belly (like he didn't know already LOL).

12/14/99 Today mommy was making Christmas cookies and candy. Didn't get too many done before she started to feel tired but she got some of them done. Last night we woke mommy out of a sound sleep. We were kicking her sooo hard that it was hurting her. SORRY MOMMY!! We go see the nice doctor on the 16th. Mom is hoping to find out what we are. If not her and dad will have to wait till next time in Jan.

12/12/99 We went to the mall today. mom said there are alot of christmas things up. Then mommy wasn't feeling to well and she thought that she should just goto the bathroom.

Mom's back has started to bother her again. Dad thinks it was the long drive and not sleeping on a waterbed. Daddy went to see his family, too. They all asked where mommy was, but they understood why, we weren't there. We are getting bigger and kicking mom even more. We are about two inches long and everything has already developed.

My heart has divided into chambers, and will find a more regular rhythm soon. Mom said that I am about a quarter inch long and looks more like a tadpole than a human. I will have a growth spurt this week. My major organs, including my kidneys and liver, begin to grow. The neural tube, which connects my brain and spinal cord, will close this week. My upper and lower limb buds begin to sprout - these will form my arms and legs. My intestines are developing and my appendix is in place. As early as this week, my facial features are already forming. My nostrils are becoming distinct, and the earliest version of my eyes' my retinas are forming. I think this whole growing thing is so neat, mom said just wait I have alot more growing to do before we can finally meet each other.
