Twins!

Definitely 2 in there:)
Baby A and Baby B.
We just found out yesterday that we are being blessed with Twins! I can't believe it. We are so excited. It's still too early to be scared, so we will see when that comes:) Bailey has actually been telling us the whole time that there were 2 babies in there. Infact, the Technician didn't even check for more until I asked if there was only one. Then she did another sweep of my uterus and sure enough there was the other baby:) Anyway, our due date is November 1st, but they told me that they won't let me go past 37 weeks, so probably October. Please keep us in your prayers, we will need them:)

The Worst Weekend Ever!

Poor, poor Matt. I feel so bad for my sweet husband. So we moved a few weeks ago to a 3 bedroom 2 bath apartment that I love. Anyway, Matt kept feeling like he was in pain. He actually thought he had a hernia on his belt line.It was scary. He went to the Dr. who told him it wasn't a hernia, but didn't know what it was. she is lame! So he let it go for another 4 days which was this past Friday. His sister,Jill, who is a nurse, took one look at it and said she thought it was a staff infection.(An infection of the skin, and tissue) Well, that night(sorry this is graphic) it started draining. It was so gross! It did alleviate some of the pressure though. Never the less Jill convinced Matt that he needed to go to the ER and get on antibiotics quickly. So Saturday morning we go to the ER and the Dr looks at it and says it looks like an abscess or staff infection, and pretty much does surgery on Matt right there. She lanced the abscess 3 times. It was awful, cause I had to watch, It's like a train wreck...you should look away, but you just can't! She then put Matt on 2 different antibiotics, 1 you take 4 times a day and the other 3 times a day! The next day was Sunday. He wasn't feeling so great but toughed it out through church and came home. He took a nap, and our home teachers came over. After they left Matt started getting really cold and shivering. I took his temperature and it was 101.5. His sister said to go back to the ER, so we did. He was having shortness of breath, and convulsions in the car. It was terrifying for me. I thought he was dying. So we get there and there is a suicide patient in front of us at the check in desk. His wrist and Neck were slashed up and bleeding. Scary! They took his temperature and it was 102.1 and his blood pressure was 158/93, high! So they got him in so fast, it was amazing. They took like 6 or 7 viles of blood to test. I think he got poked in 5 different spots. Then they did a chest x-ray. We were there for 4 hrs and they finally told us that the fever had nothing to do with the infection. He has pneumonia! What are the odds! So he is on another antibiotic for that. Poor guy, I feel so bad for him. Anyway, that was our not so fun weekend in the ER:) Thanks for stinking with me to the end:)
