Getting back to crochet!

So I know that I have been VERY inactive both here and on Facebook in the last month or so, but you all know why that is by now. I am feeling much better these days and have recently picked up the hook again. I am currently working on a baby blanket for one of my little jelly beans. I still have to make a second one for the second twin! :) I do have some older stuff I have made or that I was working on before the baby stuff came about and I will be sharing some of that stuff with you. I just have not felt like crocheting anything the last month or so... I just did not have the energy to even try to work on anything. It didn't stop me from thinking of new things to make though. I am happy to be back to crochet again, and I am excited to share my new ideas and projects with you! Thank you all for hanging in there and waiting for my return, it means a lot! I'm back! :)

I have some news!! :)

So most of you know by now that I am expecting again. It has been hard on me during the first trimester, but I am definitely starting to feel much better now. I am thinking of starting a blog just for the pregnancy stuff, but I am not sure. I might just post things randomly here. This is "Crochet Crazy Mama" after all! :) Well I had my very first appointment on May 10th. I was 11 weeks pregnant. The appointment seemed like it went on forever as I filled out a stack of papers and forms and signed my name at least a thousand times lol. She determined my due date was around November 25th 2012. They weighed me, and I have only gained 2 pounds so far. She said that was really good. She checked my blood pressure and that was great too. My urine test came back saying I was leaking glucose, which I guess means I could possibly have gestational diabetes. :( She is going to test me again later I guess. They did the exam down below and she said everything seemed fine. Just as she was about to finish the exam, I asked if I would be able to hear the heartbeat. She said we could try because i was 11 weeks. She placed the doppler on my belly and moved it around and within seconds I could hear it beating away. I wanted to cry. She said she was shocked that they found it because usually the baby is down pretty low at this point. I was happy she did though. She said it was 166 beats per minute which was really good. Then the appointment was over. She gave me orders for an ultrasound to have done as soon as possible. So I checked out and they set up the ultrasound for the next day. I was so excited!

So on May 11th, I went in for my scheduled ultrasound appointment. I didn't have to wait very long before I was called in. My husband Justin, and my 2 boys came in the room with me. I was surprised to see they had enough seats for everyone. I got comfortable on the exam bed and the ultrasound tech proceeded to put the ultrasound gel on my stomach. I was lucky to get the warmed up kind. The cold kind really sucks. My eyes went directly to the monitor with the anticipation of seeing my beautiful little jelly bean. She placed the doppler on my belly and an image immediately popped up on the monitor. For a second I just stared in amazement. I was sure I was seeing double. The tech was messing with some buttons before looking up to the monitor herself. Then she said something I'll never forget, "Oh look! Two babies!" My mouth popped open and I was just shocked. I was in fact seeing double. There were not just one but two little jelly beans in there. I looked to my husband and just said "Ooh myy goodd". lol. He looked shocked to. Although I had been kind of suspecting there was more than one baby in there, the appointment I had the day before had confirmed there was only one. I mean I had only heard one heartbeat. So I was still pretty shocked to find out that there were in fact two! We are sooo excited, my boys included! This journey is going to be a tough one, but god has definitely blessed me in many ways, and I am looking forward to everything that comes along with it. <3
