Thanksgiving Weekend!!!

This Thanksgiving we had all my cousins from my dad's side come into town! Everyone stayed at our house which was sooo much fun! We all had a crazy blast throughout the weekend….boy it is never a boring moment with my cousins! Everyone loves to party and have fun!

Us girls cooked ALL day long so the vegetarian host had the honors of cutting our mini turkey. It's just like doing surgery on a dead patient, right???

Once Akhil cut a piece he decided to stab the turkey in the center since it is already dead! It ruined the taste!

Here we are all just hanging out all full from our Thanksgiving meal and many of the people are feeling pretty good from all the drinking!

Kinda gay...no it is gay but we got a limo on Friday night to go out in so no one would drink and drive..Friday night was a blast!!!! The limo turned out to be a great idea!

Don't ask me why Akhil is making a peace sign...I think he is foreseeing what he wished his night would have been! It was everything but peaceful for many of the cousins! :)

Pregnancy - 7 Weeks.

Today we were lucky enough to have another ultrasound so we were happy to see our babies again! The doctor wanted to monitor how the second baby (the smaller one) is doing.

In one week they grew a lot! Our little one is catching up to the bigger baby!

The first baby was .46 mm last week and grew to 9.2 cm
The second baby was .24 mm last week and is today 8.3 cm

Both measure up to about a third of an inch!

My mom and Rachu came with us so they can see the little peanuts too! We all heard their heartbeat again which was absolutely amazing! Man, I have 3 hearts beating inside me! Oh my gosh!

I am still feeling great (a bit tired though) and I am not feeling sick or anything so I will take fatigue over nausea any day!

This time, they didn't get a clear image of both babies...just the sacs that they live in.

Here is another picture of the doppler heartbeat. They both are around 150 which is normal for 7 weeks gestation. :)

Pregnancy - 6 Weeks and a Surprise!

Today we had our ultrasound of our little peanut growing inside me! As soon as the doctor turned on the ultrasound he said “Oh my gosh, I think there are 2 babies in there!”….Akhil shrieked and said “WHHHHAAAT?!?!” I was pretty silent due to shock, I couldn’t get a single word out!

The first baby was easy to find in the yolk sac and we heard the heart beating which was amazing! Now it seems more real that I am not all alone here anymore! Then he moved the probe onto the second sac. We were able to see the sac very easily but it was harder to see the baby. The baby is a bit smaller than the first. We couldn’t hear the heart beat of the second baby but did see something quivering on the monitor which the doctor confirmed was the heart beating!

Wow! Not sure how this twin thing happened but we both are SUPER excited and in shock right now! It has been really hard to fathom that I am pregnant (it doesn't seem all that real) and now the news of having twins inside me is even harder to believe!!! It is sooo amazing!

But I definitely can feel that my uterus has been growing everyday!

Here are our twin babies...they look a lot like Akhil huh? Just kidding!

The circle are the babies and the black thing is the sac they are in.

Here is a picture of the doppler heart beat of the first baby.

I can't believe these little babies are inside me and are going to turn into little people! WOW! Yippeee!!!

Oh yeah and one more thing, our due date has been changed to July 14th! I am glad to hear I am one day closer!

PLEASE REMEMBER ALL OF THIS IS STILL A SECRET AND I DON'T WANT ANYONE OUTSIDE OF THIS BLOG TO KNOW ANY OF THIS JUST YET!!!! I will let you know when we decide to tell people.

Akhil's Pulmonary Hypertension TV Interview!

On Wednesday media relations at Akron General contacted Akhil to be interviewed by channel 3 NBC local news to discuss pulmonary hypertension on the Saturday morning show. He told them he didn't want to do it! He called me and told me about it and said he didn't want to do it because it is his day off from work! I told him that he should do it regardless if he doesn't want to get up early on a Saturday morning!

So he called media relations back and agreed to the interview with the tv peeps. :)

This morning when I intially watched him on tv I was laughing the whole time and didn't listen much to what he was saying because I thought his blinking eyes were funny! haha! Regardless of his silly eyes, he was very composed and was very well spoken! He did a great job and I am really proud of him!

I am pregnant!!!

So it's official...we just found out we that I am pregnant!!! Yay! We are really excited! I went to the doctor today to get it confirmed and my progesterone level are where they should be at 4 weeks...so it's official! As of today, I am 4 weeks and 2 days pregnant!

I am due on July 15th!

Here is the first test that I took on Tuesday night...its a faint double line but they say even if it is faint, it is still positive! I took this test after I came home from work Tuesday evening. I didn't realize it was positive for a few minutes because it was so faint! I debated not telling Akhil until he came home from work because I wanted to see his reaction but of course I couldn't wait so I called him immediately! We both are estatic!

Peurto Rico

Last week I was in Puerto Rico for Shreem's Bachlorette party! It was soo nice get out of the cold weather here and enjoy some sunshine! It was nice and hot (and humid) there. Boo on the humid! I didn't think Puerto Rico got humid but it does. I don't know how long its been since I partied at clubs but I did. I definitely was the loser that went to bed every night before anyone else....I can't help it!

Here's a pic of all Shreem's friends that went on the trip!
