6 Weeks
March 21, 2006
Dear Clammies,
Today we had our first ultrasound at 6w3d pregnant. We saw not one but TWO babies and heartbeats!!!! Of course I cried when we saw you and heart your little hearts beating so fast. It was amazing. You both are soooo tiny. Baby A measured 6w3d at 6.0mm and Baby B was 6w4d at 6.7mm. Your dad and I are wishing for a boy and a girl to even out the family, but of course whatever is in my belly we will be ecstatic. Your dad is so happy and excited and wonderful. He is really helping with the house chores, the laundry duties, and making sure we are always safe and comfortable. We love you daddy!!!! We have both wanted this for so long that it feels almost unreal. When I told all of your aunties and grandma they were in shock. You are the first set of twins in our immediate family. Your grandma Marg was really excited and so was your Auntie Leah who said she knew it was twins. Must be the twin bond she shares with your dad. =) No more symptoms, which is just weird. With twins you’re supposed to be more sick and miserable. Cross your fingers that we are the lucky ones. I am a hungry heifer, a pee monster, and a tired cookie, but that’s about all.
Two more weeks until we see you again and we can’t wait!!
We love you Clammies!!

Five Weeks
March 10, 2006
Dear Little Clammy,
Today you are five weeks old in my belly. This week is when your heart will start to beat. Next week we go for our first ultrasound and we get to see you and hear your heart beating for the very first time. We are so excited! This week cannot go quick enough. Your dad has to leave me for 3 days for work and we are not happy. Well, you don’t really even know, but we’ll just pretend you’re not happy like your mama! I’m starting to get much more tired, the increased pees have started and the hunger. One minute I’m fine and the next I’m ready to kill someone for food. I’m told all of the symptoms will only get worse, so watch out world! The morning sickness is supposed to start about next week as well as more tiredness, more pees, and more hunger. 11 days until our ultrasound and counting!! We love you Clammy (ies)!!!

The second happiest day of my life
March 6, 2006
Dear Little Clammy,
We are officially prego!! Our number went from 107 to 484!!!! At this early stage with those high numbers we were told there is a chance you could have a twin in there. Two clammies!!!!! I am a bit freaked out at the possibility of two babies. Not only will I get big as a house, but the feedings and diaper changings when you are born will be insane! It would be perfect to have two so you have a sibling and are not a spoiled only child, but holy moly, two babies!!!!! Your dad is a twin so it would be kind of neat if you were too. He wants a boy and a girl. We have had our girl name picked out since we started trying… it is Shenzie Weather Barr. The boy name is not as easy. Your dad is gung ho for Heaten Grey Myrick Barr. Also in the running are Carter or Hudson. Since we have two middle names for the boy we decided to add one more for the girl as well. Echo! I love that name. If we had girl twins I wanted one to be named Echo, but your dad refuses. So it is Shenzie Weather Echo Barr. My family thinks we are crazy with two middle names, and as you will find out one of us is crazy…your dad!!! =)
We love you Clammy or Clammies!!!

The happiest day of my life
March 3, 2006
Dear Little Clammy, Today we found out we are pregnant!!! It is one of the happiest days of our lives! Your dad and I were both a nervous wreck these past two weeks waiting to find out if the IVF worked or not. I rode on the emotional rollercoaster daily. One minute I would feel positive and hopeful and then I would turn to feeling hopeless and depressed. We are both still in shock that after two long years, two IVF’s and two IUI’s that it worked! You are our little miracle. We nicknamed you our Clam because we are happy as clams!!! Even though we just found out we are pregnant you are already 4 weeks today. So far the only symptoms I have are a little cramping and I’m more tired. Our first beta test came back at 107. I cried when the nurses called and told me. Then I cried when I told your daddy. Then I cried when I told my sisters and mom and I cried when I told my best friend Stacey. I never used to be such a cry baby! We go back on Monday for the second beta test to see if the numbers are doubling properly. We love you Clammy!!!!
