I'm in love with her little legs too lol. Yea, it's crazy...her mom has like almost black brown eyes and hers are soooo blue. She must not have very strong genetics. Or Chad's are just overwhelmingly strong lol. But, my family's genetics are pretty strong too so we'll see lol

You girls made me lol!! As of today, I'd like to go as long as possible because 1.ill have more summer mat leave. And 2. My daycare provider can't start until August 16th, so the less gap I have to fill the better! Haha!
I'm soooo hoping for light eyes for Makayla. My mom is blonde with green eyes (you'd never know I was hers, which she hates!) and Patrick has green eyes and two blonde/dirty blonde genes. So we could potentially have a blonde hair/green eyed babe! Patricks brother actually has dark brown hair and his wife is super Italian like me and they have a blondie with blue eyes (everyone jokes she's the mailmans)! I'd looooove dark hair with light eyes though! Eeeekkkk I get so exited thinking about what our little babes will look like!!

Our chance for light eyes is pretty slim, but genetics are so crazy you just never know!!! Baby Byrd will definitely have DARK hair, lots of it, probably curly, big lips (we both have big lips) long eyelashes like mama hopefully 
I know he/she will be beautiful no matter what

It's weird how that works because both my girls have blue-ish eyes (Autumn's went a little more grey but Hannah's are still bright blue) when nobody in either side of the families have blue eyes. Supposedly my great-grandma did but I find it hard to believe her genes carried through so strongly lol.

Genetics really are so crazy!! I love seeing what our genes come up with and what gets passed down from who! Baby Byrd definitely does have a slight chance of getting lighter eyes, Kevin's mom has BLUE eyes, his dad had brown. His full blood sister has blue/green/aquaish colored eyes. And my dad has green eyes, so it's definitely possible. It would be weird but awesome considering both Kevin and I have pretty much brown eyes (mine have some green in them but not much).

i'm gonna go back and catch up reading, but wanted to let peeps know i posted u/s pictures in my journal! Minion is per-fect! and flipping and jumping all over - we couldnt get the DS measurement, but oh well. the appt was great - she tried for a loooong time to get a good picture, made me walk around, drink water, tipped me upside down, on my side, but baby was a no-go for the right position. oh well, will hope the bw comes out good! sigh. pregnancy is amazing. OH was surprised they move so much; he thought they just hung out inside there all still. so that was neat. i could be pregnant forever

Mirolee-Yay for a healthy, bouncing little babe
Cassidy-Don't forget Sarah! I really hope I at least make it past Waves, but I'd like to pass Sarah up too...
Morgan-My mom's bday is April 23rd! Doc mentioned possible c-section date around the 21st, but my mom is fighting for the 23rd lol
I can definitely see me going before Morgan and Kara...possibly Rachel too...I just hope we make it to April at this point!
One of the girls from my multiples class just had her boy/girl twins at a few days past 35 weeks (preeclampsia). They spent 11 days in the NICU. I hope to avoid that, but if it happens it happens!
Morgan-I look forward to that too! I can't wait to meet these little babies! We may be too busy and tired to even get on here by then! lol
I have brown hair and brown/hazel eyes. My mom had blond hair as a child that darkened as she got older and has blue eyes, so I very possibly have a blond/blue-eyed recessive gene. Our donor is brown hair, brown eyed but his sister is blond/blue-eyed so he has the recessive gene too...I'm very curious to see how these babies will look!

Yay Mirolee! So glad everything went well and you got to see your little one! I love being pregnant. I have no complaints. I'm hoping soooo much to have another easy pregnancy.
Morgan, my appointment is for 6+4 on February 4th; that's about 6 1/2 weeks. They didn't call me back today; I'll call again tomorrow maybe. I don't want them to think I'm crazy. It's not my usual doctor. She's out of the office til the middle of February so I'm seeing the other doctor I saw one time while my doc was on vacation, and I was like 37 weeks pregnant. I had that scare last pregnancy. I had a scan at 5+2 for dating because I didn't know at all how pregnant I was and there was only a sac. They said "We can't guarantee the viability of this pregnancy." Ummm heart stopping! But all was well. I really really really just want a scan soon. I can wait til appointment day, but I NEED to know that everything is okay for sure.
Our little guy had the cutest chubby cheeks and lots of dark hair with some wave. Hubby has straight jet black hair. I have crazy curly dark brown with a bit of reddish tint in the summer. Hubby has brown eyes; I have blue. Hubby has darker skin tone, and mine is light. Our kids could really go just about any way. I don't know what color our little guy's eyes were. I never saw them. I really hope they get his skin tone so they don't burn. I don't know why I keep saying they!

Julie, I have a friend that was pregnant with twins. She's a nurse in the hospital, and she worked til 38 weeks. It's totally possible to go that long. FX that you are able to go quite far and all will be well, which I'm SURE it will be!!

omg, julie. i have a booger-phobia, and that video had me gagging! i registered for one of those booger bulbs, but reluctantly, and i think OH is gonna have to do all things booger. i also felt a smidge bad for the kid - i felt for him/her - and then gagged again. and for the record, i think booger bulbs are a good thing, i just think i'm gonna hurl each time i use it.

Lol Cassidy, don't feel like a bitch! I had to go back and look at the list on the front to see who was due when lol
Sandy-I don't know how the heck your friend worked until 38 weeks!!! I am only 25 and am getting miserable! A shopping trip to the grocery store has me worn out...I have a friend who is a nurse as well and carried her twins to 38 weeks. I hope I make it that long, but I'm worried bc I'm already so huge and uncomfortable!

Mirolee-lol Yeah, they all say that the boogers don't go past the tube, but it scares me they might...I'm ok with the bulbs too except there is a pic going around of one that is all moldy on the inside, even though they say they washed it in hot water after every use. Not sure what to do...HOW WILL I REMOVE ALL THE BOOGERS!? lol

Julie, I'm totally in agreement! I just simply cannot imagine! I worked until 37 weeks, and I was definitely miserable and tired. All. The. Time. And there was only one in there! I completely plan to work until the last day with this pregnancy. Just praying all goes well, and I'm able to. I don't want to sit home by myself. I think I'm afraid to. If my water had broken at home alone, I would have bled to death. Definitely scared me. So even if I have to waddle slowly, I want to work.
Edited to put my 2 cents in on the booger bulb. I saw the picture on FB with it all moldy, too!! Replace frequently? Can you boil them? Put them in the dishwasher to sterilize? IDK, I know they're essential, but boogers are just disgusting.. and moldy boogers are even MORE disgusting. Ew.

Bulbs are so gross lol. Have you seen the pictures going around of moms who cut theirs open to find they're all moldy inside? I love the NoseFrieda and have it on my registry for this time around. We started carrying it at Target and I'm so excited lol.
And Julie... I'll likely go very beginning of March so I hope you last until after me too lol.

So my lovely employer announced yesterday they're planning to stop offering insurance for all part-time employees effective April 1st. I'm considered part-time but my average hours were over 30 (it only affects those who work under 30 hrs) so I should be safe, especially since I'm on an LOA but it's still absolutely ridiculous.
