two penises

i had my amnio today. the anticipation and anxiety was much worse than the procedure. in fact, compared to all the shots i took in the stomach during ivf, amnio is nothing. still, there is always the associated risks so i'm just hanging out today, taking it easy and praying nothing goes wrong. the doctor said it went perfectly though. the cramping from the amnio is not pleasant. i never had menstral cramps so i'm not used to this. i'm sure it will pass soon. i can't take anything b/c they said painkillers will mask any possible infection.

oh, and i'm permitted to go to the ne.il dia.mond concert though he questioned my choice in music. he's a funny guy.

so i'm sure you figured it out by my title...we are having two boys. i was positive they were both boys. i had a dream very early in the pregnancy that all three were boys. maybe it was just wishful thinking, but i wasn't surprised today. my husband is feeling a bit overwhelmed. he thinks it will make for a nutty house, but we both said as long as they are healthy, obviously we are happy with whatever we receive. it'll be two weeks before we learn the results of the test. again, i feel optomistic that all will be well. we haven't had any other screening however, since they told us that the loss of the third would negatively impact blood and other screening tests. but they keep telling us that all looks good. keeping my fingers and toes crossed for the next two weeks.

Congrats on your two little boys. Yeah it'll be a little nutty, but what house with two kids of any gender/age isn't??

Glad the amnio went well today

Glad the amnio went well. And I'm glad you're having two boys. Otherwise, I'd be concerned about your title!

Congrats on the boys! Are you going to work on names now? I hope you feel better soon. Get as much rest as you can and pamper yourself!

Yay! Two boys. We had a singleton boy, and last year had twin boys. They're so much fun! (And NOTHING alike.)I hope your results come back fine and soon.
