On to Week 21

Not much to update, but just thought I would let everyone know that all is going well. No news from the doctor after the ultrasound, so we assume all is well. I am heading into 21 weeks this week. Past the half way point...whoohooo! I am feeling pretty good. I have had alot of energy, but not quite as much as pre-pregnancy. My belly is starting to pop, but unfortunately I am wearing the belly all around, and not just in front. Hopefullly soon I will have the cute baby bump! My next doctor appointment is in a week and half. I hope to talk to doctor into another ultrasound. We are anxiously waiting to find out if we can up the testosterone in the house....or add to all the estrogen! The girls are anxiously awaiting to find out of they will have a sister or brother too. They have both voted for a little brother, but I am sure will be happy to spoil either. They both told us that if all they get for Christmas is a baby brother or sister, they will be happy.....but we aren't counting on it! We know that they will both make excellent big sisters! Well that's all for now. Short and sweet....which means....no news is good news...right?

Dostert Party of 5?


Our family is growing; and well, so is my belly! We are indeed expecting a little one, due around January 5. We are all very excited for this new addition to our family. We have kept quiet for 19 weeks, just to make sure all was going well. Today was the 1st big ultrasound, and it appears that baby is healthy and everything looks good. It is a Dostert baby, so of course... "it"has to be difficult. Baby happens to be head up, and face down; so we didn't really get a good look at anything...including those important parts. The technician thought that maybe the Dr. would want us to go back in a few weeks to see if they could get a better look, but for now.....we plan for yellow and green!
Thanks to all of you for keeping us in your thoughts and prayers. The last few years have been quite the roller coaster, but we keep praying that this time around it will be smoooooth sailing!
