So I must first apologize for being away for so long (and thanks to you who emailed and posted comments checking in!). As if going through this whole process isn’t stressful enough, I have just started a new job after being in essentially the same area for around the last 10 years. I used to be in IT for a large corporation, supporting the sales team who wholesaled our product. Well…about a month ago, the sales organization approached me and asked if I wanted to be part of their team versus supporting their team.

After some conversations with my wife, I decided to take it. My first day was yesterday, and the weeks leading up to yesterday were a bit hectic (and stressful) in the fact that I had a lot of loose ends to tie up. Plus…it is going to require some travel - I’ll be managing the relationship between my company and some banks on the West Coast (I’m in the midwest). However - one of the banks is Bank Of Hawaii. I’m predicting a large need for many relationship-building meetings there Now that I’m a bit more settled, I should be posting again, so hopefully there won’t be any more lapses here.

Ok. To the important stuff. If you haven’t gone to the URL in the title already, go ahead and do so now. I’ll wait…

Yep. We got two buns in the oven! Within 5 seconds of the ultrasound starting yesterday, the technician stated “Oh my”. At first we thought that maybe it meant three, but it ended up being two.

Shock is currently hitting my wife- 2 car seats (plus we will need a new car), two high chairs, two sets of diapers, two babies who need food, two sets of bottles, two sets of blankets, two cribs, two….you get the point.

I’m rather Zen about this all. Whatever happens, happens. We will make it through it. However, there is one thought that keeps me up at night…has me waking up in cold sweats: If we have twin girls, there will be

3 weddings!

AHhhhhhhh!!!! How will I do it?

Then again, if we do get two girls, and I survive all three of them going through high school, I think a wedding (and paying for a wedding) will be a piece of cake (no pun intended). My wife is a identical twin, so I have an idea of what it might be like in a house with 2 twin girls (although she has a brother, so we will have one more female).

All this being said, I’m getting ahead of myself a bit. We have a long way to go, and the office has already said that one of the embryos needs to do some catching up. Next ultrasound is next Monday (and what a perk to the new job….I get to be there for that one like I was there for it yesterday!), so we should know more then.

On the clinical front, my wife continues to take her endometrin 3 times a day. Also, her HCG was over 7,000 today.

Hopefully more tomorrow. And thank you again for those of you checking in!
