My 30th Birthday Party!

Yesterday Akhil threw a birthday party for me to celebrate my 30th birthday in style! It wasn't a surprise. I told him I would be really mad if he planned a surprise party...thank god he didn't because I was scared that he might. We had over 50 friends at our house to celebrate and it was a blast! Akhil really wanted it at our house but I was not about to cook for 50 people so he did an awesome job planning the party with caterers. He delt with them and I didn't have do a thing! (except for picking out the cupcake flavors)!

I didn't start taking pictures until about 1AM...I wish I took more when there were a ton of people there...but here are a few late night pics

Pregnancy - 14 weeks.

Today we had another ultrasound…being pregnant with twins is awesome because we get to see them all the time! I went to a different doctor’s office to get this ultrasound done and I guess the perks of Akhil working at Akron General is that we didn’t have to wait at all! The doctor just showed up when we walked in and there were a bunch of people in the waiting room. I guess the doctor had an emergency C-section in the morning so he was late. We were the first people he took and we showed up at 10AM! I felt bad for those other people waiting for a couple of hours but I guess that’s why we decided Akron General would be better to deliver at!

I liked the set up of this guy’s ultrasound machine…because I actually got to see the entire ultrasound! It was soo amazing to see everything!

Now the babies are no long living in bunk bed style conditions. Their sacs have moved left to right and now they are beside each other. The smaller baby is on my left side and the bigger one is on my right side now. They share a common wall and they were kicking each other through this wall. The space war is on! Akhil has always told me the smaller baby is waaay more active which I saw (I never knew since I could never see the ultrasounds). He/she was flipping over, kicking, moving her hands…it was so cool! The bigger one was just hanging out and getting mad when the other baby disturbed him!

Also both our cute little babies are thumb suckers!!!! I guess they take after their mommy!

Here is our little baby (the bigger of the two) sucking his thumb!

Here is the smaller baby getting busy to kick like crazy!

Pregnancy - 13 weeks.

Today we had a doctor’s appointment and they used some tool and we heard both hearts beating loud and clear! Other than that they didn’t do anything else at this appointment. They did weigh me which was waaaay off because I was wearing a ton of woolen winter clothes with my boots on. I told her the weight was wrong but the nurse seemed to careless. Oh well.

On Monday we will have a 3D or 4D ultrasound which will be fun : )

Random but neat: Here are a few sunset pictures I captured in Cali.

Coastal California Vacation

We just got back tonight from our coastal California vacation. We started out in San Francisco to see Rachu and Arun, then we drove our way down the coast and ended up in San Diego.

We were suppose to all go to Mexico for my 30th birthday but we canceled that vacation after I found out I was pregnant. Anjali and Shreem still went and we decided to visit Rachu/Arun in SF and then do the drive down highway 1. It was a really cool and amazing trip...I want to move to San Diego!!!

Happy New Years! Cheers! We had a great time spending a chill New Years with Rachu & Arun.
