3D/4D Ultrasound...
So on March 8th Dane got me the best birthday present ever! A 3D/4D ultrasound of our two little ones! Technology is absolutely amazing. Drake I think looks just like Dane. My son is so handsome, I just can't get over that cute little nose and those cute little lips. My heart melts every time I see them. The 3D/4D ultrasound was so amazing. Now every time they kick I can visualize their face. It's a complete bonding experience.
We didn't get very many pictures of Kera, because Drake keeps kicking her in her face, so she's always blocking her face from her brother. The highlight of Kera's time on camera was when she gave us the bird, she just wanted to be left alone :). It was pretty comical. I can't wait for these two and a half months to pass so Dane and I can see these two little babies. Dane and I truly feel blessed. We have such beautiful children!
This picture is Drake's butt, tucked under his butt is his foot, you can see Kera's hand holding his foot back so he won't kick her again :)

This picture is of Kera, her face is kind of smushed :( but she's still a cutie.

This is Drake with his mouth open.... Do you see Dane? I do...

This is Kera buried in her arms trying to stay away from Drake.
This is Drake giving us a little smile.

Nursery!!!
This weekend Dane and I finished up painting the nursery. Then on Saturday my mommy brought us the crib over, so Dane put that together! Then we headed to Ikea to pick up a few more pieces of furniture, a bookshelf, and a dresser. We still have to add decorations, but it's coming together! I love it!!!! Here are some pictures. :) Enjoy.
Appointment on 2/21/08

Kera looking at you!!!

On February 21st we had another ultrasound and follow up appointment. We went in for our ultrasound and Drake and Kera are getting so big! I was 23 weeks 2 days pregnant. Drake was weighing in at 1lb 5oz, and measuring 23 weeks 5days! Kera was weighing in at 1lb 4oz, and measuring 23 weeks 1day! We seen them kicking each other. Too cute! And we finally got a good profile picture of Kera! She looks just like her daddy from the nose down. She has my forehead. She's so beautiful! We got another great profile picture of Drake, he's our little ham! He takes the best pictures.
After the ultrasound, we had a follow-up appointment. My belly is measuring 31 weeks!!!!! It's crazy, I am so huge, I feel like an elephant, but I guess it's well worth it in the end when we get to hold these two beautiful babies of ours. It's still a complete shock that we are having two. Time is flying by, and we'll have them in only a few months. I am kind of scared, but I know everything will be fine. It's just a tad bit overwhelming.
I'll have to add the ultrasound pictures later, it's on another computer.

Drake's first doctors appointment....

Kera is still a girl!!
Drake is still a boy!!
So today, we had to take Drake to the specialist to check on his kidneys. We had another level two ultrasound. Drake is so handsome! I really can't wait to see him in person. His kidneys were normal. There was fluid in his bladder which told the specialist that his kidneys were working. The tissue around his kidneys looked good too. They said that they will still keep looking, because you get ultrasounds a lot with twins anyways. They looked at both of the babies hearts, and they are beautiful, and those aren't my biased opinions, those are the words from the doctor and the tech :). They also checked for markers of down syndrome, they both have the bone in the nose and the fifth digit has three bones, if it only had two, that would be a marker of downs. They checked for spinabifida, their spines are perfect. They measured their arm bones, and their leg bones, perfect. Their brains, are perfect. They did a measurement of Drake's foot :) It's already an inch long! He has perfect little feet! I can't wait to kiss them! They checked the sex of the babies again, definitely a boy and a girl! :) I will have another level 2 ultrasound in four weeks to check the heart again. They didn't see anything wrong with the heart today, but they always take a detailed look at the heart at 24 weeks. Oh and they said that the placentas are both in a good location, and both of the umbilical cords look fabulous! The doctor said Dane and I make pretty babies :D! He did give us some bad news. I have to lower my sweet and carb intake, because if I don't, I will have a high possibility of developing gestational diabetes. I'll do anything for these babies, although the cookies are giving me an evil eye. Well we got some more pictures, I'll post them. A few in this post and a few in another one.

And the genders are....
So yesterday, on Jan 24th 2008 Dane and I went to get our level two ultrasound! The night before I couldn't sleep at all. I was so nervous! I got about four hours of sleep. I woke up and Dane was snoring! Gurr, it made me mad, all I wanted to do was sleep! Finally the alarm went off at 7:30am, and we got up and got ready and headed for the hospital for our doctors appointment! We went into the ultrasound room, and she began with Baby A! She took lots of pictures of the heart, which had four chambers, the brain, the kidneys, the bladder, the stomach. Everything was great with Baby A. Then she got to the goods. She said "Baby A is 100% NO DOUBT a girl"!!! I was so excited. I looked at Dane, and he didn't seem too excited :). I am sure he was, he said he was worried about Baby B, and also he was worried that there were two girls". Dane had guessed this since 11wks when we got the ultrasound where we seen little babies. He knew Baby A was a girl and Baby B was a boy... it's weird that he has better motherly instincts then I do. The tech went to Baby B, took pictures of the same things. Then got to the goods... and said "And daddy was right... do you see that thing sticking up".... :) So we have Baby A- A girl- Named Kera Jeanne Schilling (K-Ken) (era-Era) (Jeanne-my moms middle name). And Baby B Drake Kohen Schilling... no significance, other than DKS for Dane's family tradition! But he's not named after anyone. They both weigh 10 oz!! And They are both measuring right on schedule, actually a day later :) So they are growing strong and healthy. I think they like the chocolate I eat! Oh and the mexican food! Well after the ultrasound we had a follow up with my OBGYN. She told us that she is going to send us to a specialist because our son Drake has dilated kidneys. She didn't know much about it. So I was kind of freaking out. And it kind of put a damper on our celebration that we were having one of each. When we got home, Dane googled it, and we found out it's not life threatening, and that if it's a severe case, Drake will have to have antibiotics and a minor surgery. So thank god for that. I'll know more about this on Tuesday, Jan 29th when I see the specialist. At least we get to see our babies again, because we get another ultrasound. I just wish it wasn't for something wrong with our son. Dane says " It's funny, we are taking Drake to his first doctors appointment". What a goofball! :) Oh by the way, Dane was super excited when he found out Baby B was a boy!! But before our follow-up with the doctor he knew something was wrong... I swear he has more mommy instincts then me!
Anyways... I am really glad that we have one of each, that way we can give Danes parents a grand-daughter, that they don't have yet. And I can give my family a Grand-son that they don't have already. :) Plus I really wanted a girl... I need to buy those cute little outfits with the ruffles on the butt, and I have to buy barbies, and baby dolls! But I am so happy we have a son too, because I am excited about playing catch with him, and taking him and his sister to Astro games!
My children are so adorable... I'll post pictures of the ultrasounds in another post... because it's going to take up more than one :)
Oh and I've been feeling movement. Now I know what it is... it's Kera kicking Drake in his stomach!!! My poor baby boy!!!
