Twins?

I can't seem to stop thinking about the possibility of twins. Andrea keeps having dreams about twins. I keep getting an urge to go to Minnesota to see a baseball game. Everywhere I go I seem to see twins. There is only a 20% chance of twins so why is is so prevelent in my thoughts. Last night my dad asked me what I wanted, one or two. I still want one since it is safer for the baby and Andrea but I keep thinking that I may be a little bit disappointed if there is only one in the oven. Maybe twins would not be so bad. I think Andrea would be very excited if it could be one girl and one bulldog. I don't think that is possible but you never know. I guess I will have to continue to wait till Monday. On a side note, Happy Birthday Ron. Love ya.

This is gonna take forever!

I have another week to wait until I see if there is one or two little Jeffries in the belly. I do not know how I will be able to wait that long. How am I ever going to be able to wait until December 31st? Our neighbor Sylvia gave us a book that tells you every day what is going on with the baby. Last night we found out that jr. was only 1/50 of an inch big. I guess I am going to have to learn some patience. I am pretty sure Andrea is ready to move on already also. She is still on lots of meds from the Invitro docs. I do not know if it is all the medicine she is on or the pregnancy itself but there is one obvious side effect. Ok, how can I say this nicely? She is a bit gassy. That might be an understatement. She is real gassy. Not little cute ones either. I call them "death stinkys". I made her laugh too hard the other day and one went off. Both the dog and I left the room. For once in her life she is winning this battle. I was thinking about going to the Brighton Hot Dog Shop for a few chili cheese dogs with kraut so I had a fighting chance but why put the dog through that. I guess this too shall pass.

Baby New Year

Every year I do a holiday picture to send out in cards. Every year I try to push the limits just a bit further. Last year as Andrea was taking this picture she asked what was wrong with me. Who knew that it would be a prediction. We found out today that our due date is New Years Eve. December 31st. Lets hope jr or jr's will be on time. Being one day late costs me alot in taxes. Next ultrasound is Monday May 4th. We will probably be able to find out if it is twins that day.

And so it begins

Yesterday was my birthday. I got the best b-day present ever. My wife called me at 1:19pm and said "happy birthday daddy". Normally I would assume that her referring to me as "daddy" was some type of bedroom talk and I was about to get some. Today however was a completely different story. We were waiting to hear if she was pregnant. Ten days before we had done the invitro thing and planted two embryos. It had obviously worked and now I am gonna be a dad. In telling my friends and family about the news several people said I should do a blog about the whole pregnancy process. My brother did one and I thought it would be a good idea to try it. I am still learning how to do it so bear with me. Next post I will go into some of the history as to what got us to this point, but for now I gotta go sell some food to pay for this kid. Check out the pic of Andrea. How cute is she?
