Well November and December were busy and the morning sickness didnt help much. I also had to send my Laptop in for repair and was not able to sit long enough at the desktop to do much of anything.
********** WARNING**********
This post may upset some and I am warning you now...Please dont read unless you want...Its not for everyone...I just want to keep this journey as open as I can.

We did find out the BETA #'s were great numbers for twins....Sadly after weeks of talking with my IP's and gladly we talked well before transfer about the what if this happened. My IP's decided to reduce the preg. Due to where they live they are unable to get newborn insurance for twins and could not risk pre term delivery and the chance that the babies would go to NICU. The cost would be unaffordable. I do understand this decision. A reduction is not something I would consider for my family but I am not adding to my family. This is their family and they are doing what they feel is best for their situation.
Con and I left Dec 14th to travel to NYC ( I have always wanted to visit there) We went to a MFM Dr. there that will do a twins to single reduction. They did a few test by U/S and one fetus showed signed of growth issues(not measureing where we were in weeks) which could mean a few things, also a large sub-cronic hemerrage.( I was seen at the hospital 11/20 for period like bleeding which is when we found out that there was a SCH right between the fetuses) The Dr. also did what they call a Nuchal Translucency Screening Test, it measuresthe thickness of the skin behind the neck, this measurement came back a little higher then they like to see. The other fetus was good in all areas. Con and I returned on the Dec 16th. On the 23rd I had a follow-up U/S for my OB Dr. and everything looked as it should then.
Since then morning sickness has left me, BUT my children have developed a virul infection which is making them throw up. Taylor has been sick since the 3rd and was seen at the Dr on the 8th. She seems to be getting better ...and I hope she is...I cant help her much and since she still has not learned to talk much is hard for me to help her. Trysten and Courtney didnt have it like her but still had to keep them home from school for the week. Con also had a small dose of it too. Thankfully I did not get it at all...and hoping I dont get it.
So that brings us to current date...I am almost 15 weeks preg. and feeling great...Growing but what else...this is preg # 5. I go on the 16th for our next OB visit. My IP's would like to wait till that visit before starting our Pre Birth Order process(PBO). That to me is so exciting. Its also so werid that I am almost half way through this pregnancy. I have been helping my IM by looking online for things she'll need for the baby. She doesnt want to buy to much but at the sametime doesnt know what to buy. With everything that has happened my IM and I have realized that we have a great relationship.
