Busy Week

Last week I was on a Business Trip. I hate going away while my wife is Pregnant.
I found out last week that twins were in our future. This was pretty exciting, Teins would be great. I always wanted twins. However, While I was away I got an email that my wife was bleeding and cramping. The doctor told her to come in for an ultrasound the next morning.
They were able to see the baby that we saw at the last ultrasound heart beat still going strong. The other baby could not be found. I was not there so I can not explain what they saw but the results are, instead of twins we are going to have one baby.
After looking around on the internet about this I found out this is really common. I have seen statistics that 20% of all pregnancies are multiple's however 80% of those will become single births.

How I knew I was Pregnant

Ok, yeah the positive pregnancy test was a huge indication that I was, actually, knocked up. But there was a reason I made that fateful early morning excursion to Rite Aid, sans children. And I wasn't readly that late - my period has had it's own time table for awhile now so a day or 2 off schedule really doesn't cause me too much sweat.
No, the real reason I dropped nearly $20 on a pack of 3 tests (to be sure!) was I knew I was pregnant. I felt, well, different. Cigs tasted horrible. I was exhausted and my abdomen ached like I had been doing crunches (where I had surely not been doing any sort of exercise whatsoever).
So now I sit on the bed, watching Balls of Fury, belly already sticking out. I took a bath before (nope, not too hot - tepidly warm per all pregnancy instructions read in periodicals and the internet) and was noticing that it had been a while since my belly got bigger but my belly button actually got more shallow and not deeper! Score!
Was tough accepting this pregnancy, pretty much figured that part of my life was over and looking forward to more and more self-sufficiency from the children. But now that it's here I am pretty happy.
And did I tell you I think this one is a boy? Same thing as the knowing I was pregnant - just a gut thing. But I trust it.

Week 8 Already!

Wow time flies when you are spending most of it with a headache, asleep or vomiting! We have just started our 8th week - nearly one quarter of the way through. Holy cow! I am so not ready to be a momma for a little one again! Thank you Grandma Dru and Dru's Wife's Mom for the maternity clothes because I am so big already. Here is the baby details:

This week, your little tadpole is starting to look a little bit more human. Other exciting developments include:

Your baby's eyelids, ears, upper lip and the tip of his soon-to-be adorable button nose are forming.

Junior will also sprout webbed fingers and toes this week—which you'll be well aware of in a few months, as baby starts early gymnastics classes inside you.

Baby's tiny heart has separated into four distinct chambers and is really ticking now—at a rate of 150 beats per minute. That's more than twice your resting heart rate (even when Brad Pitt is on the screen).

Your baby is now a little more than ½ inch long, about the size of the rock in Eva Longoria's engagement ring, and is about as heavy as the check Tony Parker wrote to pay for it.

Blog Change

With the 2 new readers, that makes it 4 including Daddy Dru and Mommy Dru, I have decided to get rid of my selfish ways and changed the Background to make it easier for you all to read it. Okay honestly, Mommy Dru forced me to. Hey I am one to talk about Compromise when there is a difference of opinion as a married couple. However with the whole changes in hormones and the fact that MommyDru is always "tye red" It is not worth fighting about. So I hope you enjoy the new background and it is now easier for GrandmaDru to read ;)
Anyway this week has been pretty uneventful. However yesterday was a very rough day from MommyDru getting sick all day and a Migraine. Luckily today she woke up with new energy.
We are also talking about Names with the girls already. I have heard a lot of names already:
If twins boy and girl I want Marshal and Lilly
If twin Boys I like Marshal and Ted
If Twin Girls I like Robyn and Lilly
If a Boy Barney
If a Girl Dru
What do you think?

Food Cravings

The girls were asking me last night if I was craving any specific foods. No, not pickles and ice cream. Luckily for me and my children I tend to crave good for you stuff (although with #1 I couldn't get enough Sour Patch Kids and with #2 it was Salt and Vinegar Potato Chips). So I have been drinking a lot of V8 and eating fruit salad and having tuna fish sandwiches. For dinner tonight I had (probably too much) plain yogurt with honey and cheerios. It's delicious!

Christmas List

So Christmas is right around the corner and I have been wanting to get into the Woodworking hobby. After visiting Home Depot many times this weekend I have come up with a great Christmas Present for BabyDru. I need some woodworking tools. This way all the new furniture that we are going to need for BabyDru can be built with 100% love by DaddyDru.
Do you think my wife will go for this?
