Baby Toews is on the WAY!

My first trimester came and went in the blink of an eye. Since I can't remember ANYTHING right now, I figure I better start reminding myself, and filling my friends and family in along the way! So currently I am 14 weeks. Baby Toews is due JANUARY 17, 2013. We couldn't be more excited. We let the girls know on mothers day. I wanted to wait until I was out of the scary stage before telling them but Zack couldn't keep from shouting to the world. His friends and family new pretty much the same time we did. So, we decided the girls would have to know asap. He sat them down on Mothers day and shared the big news. Kenzie was so excited she ran up and down the hall screaming "I'm going to be a big sister, I am going to be a big sister!" Maddy on the other hand has had to warm up to the idea a bit but she is coming around.
At 6 weeks we had quiet a scare. At our first visit the Dr. was certain we were having twins. I was already showing and due to my history of multiples he said he was 80% positive. YIKES. I was ready to be a mom again, but ready for twins? Well I had to wait two grueling weeks for my first ultrasound only to discover, ONE baby Toews! What a relief.
I breezed through my first trimester with NO morning sickness, and my exhaustion wasn't anything out of the ordinary (you are always exhausted with 8 year old twin girls.) At 12 weeks I began getting headaches. These weren't your ordinary headaches. These were the kind where you hide your head in a pillow and want to die. I couldn't move. I had ice packs on my head around the clock. It took everything out of me just to get up and make dinner. They kept getting worse and worse and nothing would make them go away. Finally I discovered I was anemic. I started taking iron and BAM within a day I was back to myself again.
Just yesterday I found out that my Dr. who I praised so much is leaving his practice. YIKES. I was so happy with this Dr. I had found. Little wait times, high risk specialist who was very familiar with my rare condition HELLPS, and a father so he was compassionate. Well, obviously the Lord had other plans! I have an appointment next Friday with a Dr. that he strongly recommends. He actually delivered my previous Drs. children. We will see. I just have to remember God is in control!

So now that we are up to date I will try my very best to stay on top of it and keep everyone in the loop!
