12 week email to family & friends

Dear Friends: The Manzello Family is doing well - and as a matter of fact (if you haven't heard yet...we are expanding!). I am expecting twins (yes you read that right) in February! David and I are very excited - but also very nervous at the same time - OMG 2!!!! Things are going well - and I had my 2nd ultrasound today! I had to laugh because Baby A (as we call it now) was totally acting like me - Every time the technician went over Baby A - it waved its hands and kicked its feet as if to say "Look at me - I'm in here!" - Baby B on the other hand was very mellow - just like David! It put its arm up 1 time as if to say Hey - and then that was it! (so David!) Both babies seem to be doing well - both have great heart beats (140 bpm) - and both are making their mother VERY sick!!! Both babies are sitting 1 above the other on my right side - and they haven't moved yet. That's where they were when I had my first ultrasound as well.

11 weeks

Well I had my first official appointment with my doctor yesterday – he said all looks great. Today I hit my 11 weeks mark! (boy time flies!) I will be having another ultrasound in 2 weeks – so we shall see how the babies are growing! He said all seemed to be fine and he will be able to calculate my potential due date after he looks at the next ultrasound. At first I thought I would be due Mid March, but with twins the latest they would take you is 37 weeks – which puts me at Valentines Day!
The coolest thing about yesterday's appointment was we were able to hear the heartbeats! It was absolutely AMAZING!
