Week 24, still a little in denial that we are having twins in less than 4 months. There is no denying the fact that I am getting bigger every week. I went in yesterday for another appt. and all looks good. Both babies are weighing in at 1lb 7oz and about 12” long. The heartbeat for baby A, who is head down and laying on my left is 160. Baby B’s heartbeat, who is also head down laying on my right side is 140. Both are very active and moving 24 hours a day. My heartburn is kicking into full gear and Tums are my best friends. Oh.. I am starting to lose feeling in my hands when I sleep. This would be called pregnancy induced carpal tunnel. So not only am I getting up 2 times a night to go to the bathroom I have to wear bands on my hands to keep them from not falling asleep. We finished painting the baby’s room and washing all the bedding. It was weird getting all the stuff out of bins. That is as far as I have gotten with things. Ohh…yeh I bought our first box of diapers. There are 192 diapers in a box so we figure this will last us 12 days. I guess I need to start stocking up. I am still sleeping in the baby’s bedroom on the spare bed. My back just seems to be happier in that bed.
Other than that nothing else is new with this Roemer family. We had a great Halloween with lots of our friends and family around. Paul shot his trophy buck and is so proud that he can put food on our table. The holidays are coming and I haven’t bought one thing at this point.
Until next time,thanks for letting me vent…!
Have a wonderful Thanksgiving
The Roemer’s

Its hard to understand sometimes that when sad things happen they really do happen for a reason. Today Oct. 19th 2009 we had to put our best friend, companion and as close to one of our children to rest. Rocky Roemer was with us for 10 wonderful years. He was truly in our eyes the best dog we could have ever had. When we found out 5 months ago that Rocky had bone cancer our lives were turned upside down. Never did we think this was going to happen so terribly soon, and that it would be one of the worst cancers you could get. But we knew we had one last summer with him and life went on. We then found out 2 weeks later that I was pregnant, and a week after that pregnant with our twins. Rocky knew it was his time and so did God. I truly believe this was Gods plan all along. As I remember today I can say it was the perfect day for him. It was beautiful outside and he just laid in the glory of the sun, something he loved to do. At times we questioned ourselves, but there was a sadness in his eyes that showed his true pain. Things will never be the same without him, but we know he is up in heaven surrounded in a pool of thousands of tennis balls eating ice cream.!!

Last week Paul and I went in for our big ultrasound. Baby A is laying on my left lower side and Baby B is laying on my Right upper side. Both babies right now are head down. Baby A was consistanly kicking Baby B in the head. Paul and I looked at each other and said "it's starting already." Baby A's heartbeat was 145 and Baby B's was 165. Both as far as they could tell look great. 20 weeks and counting, the time is flying by. I go back in on November 11 and I will again give you all an update.

Okay so I haven't updated this in awhile, but things have been kind of busy. We started out August with a Feucht family trip to Wisconsin Dells. The whole crew was their and we had a great time. I was finally feeling better, even good enough to try myself on one of the roller coasters at Mt. Olympus. So I know, I shouldn't be riding roller coasters but come on it was a pretty mild one.

Then mid August the whole Roemer crew went up to Eagle river to spend the week on catfish lake and relax. There is nothing relaxing about being prego with twins or just prego and having two children that what to do everything. We had such a great time and are hoping to go back up north in the future. Paul had a trip to remember, he caught his first big musky. He came back to the cabin with no proof of course, because he was by himself with no camera. But I guess we believe him.

Peyton started his big quest into 1st grade, and loves his new teacher Mrs. Klink. He comes home with homework every night and even has spelling test on Fridays. Ryan will start his preschool this coming week and he is looking very forward to it. He wants to be just like his big brother.

Our Rocky is not doing so good. He keeps holding on and his spirit is still as lively as ever. He started not using his left front leg(that is the leg where the cancer had started). He is getting medication twice a day and it seems to be helping with the pain. I guess we are just waiting for something major to happen to say okay it's time. He definitely has his days.

As for me and the babies everything is good. The only complaint I have is not sleeping at night. I have moved myself into the spare bedroom, because the mattress in there is much easier to sleep on. You know what, I have this ridiculous sense of smell these days and to not sleep next to Paul some nights is fine by me. I am arriving on 15 weeks pregnant and last week I started to feel movement. This is crazy to me because with both boys I didn't feel movement until I was 21 weeks. I went to the Dr. at 12 weeks and both babies have really strong heartbeats (173 beats a min.) It was truly amazing to see the ultrasound again. I guess it was a reality check that yes we are having twins. My next appt. is next week and I will hopefully be updating you again real soon.

Take care

I am starting a blog page so we can keep all you informed on the happenings in our life. We also want to document important events to share with our children.
So today July 29th I am 8 1/2 weeks prego with our twins. We found out on July 18th that we were expecting twins. Today is the first day I have felt horrible. I was very nausea's all day and not able to even think about food. Of course I ate, because I new I would feel worse if I didn't. Other than that everything is going great. My next Dr. appt. is Aug. 24. I will update you more after that.
Peyton and Ryan are mid way through vacation bible school and really enjoy it!! So do I, because I have 3 hours of freedom in the morning. Both boys are doing good, and I think deep down Peyton wants to go back to school.
Our Rocky is still hanging in there. He's a little sore these days, but nothing a little medicine can't fix. We hope to keep him around until at least Christmas. He's is our buddy and no matter how sick he is, he is always happy when we get home.

Take care and talk to you soon
Jenny
