Hi everyone -
Wow - it's hard to believe that I am 21 weeks old already! By the way, I'm "left" as daddy refers to me (the good child as "right" led you all to believe).
We've all been quite busy since our last post. We took a trip to Maw-ma and Paw-pa Muehlfeld's to celebrate Paw-pas birthday. Mommy's foot swelled up quite a bit, but it's doing better now. We also went and visited Great Grandma Hug-Muehlfelds family (the Starks). There were a lot of people there mommy didn't know, but they were all excited to hear about right and me. It was nice to see everyone, and they are all praying for mommy and us.
Daddy had part of the week off last week, so he worked on his "to-do" list quite a bit. He spent time at Grandma Hart's a few days, and also over-seeded the yard at home.
Saturday was a bit of a lazy day...mommy ran some errands in the morning, then mommy and daddy both watched some football in the afternoon and evening. Daddy thinks mommy has two Buckeye fans growing inside her, but mommy thinks different. We'll see!
Daddy got a big treat Saturday evening...it seems my sibling was feeling feisty as usual, and was kicking pretty strongly. So mommy had daddy put his hand on her tummy, and sure enough Right gave her a wallop! Daddy is finally convinced that there is at least one baby in mommy's belly. Guess I better build my strength up so daddy doesn't forget about me. That Right - always has to be the one to do things "first"!
Sunday, Daddy and mommy worked on cleaning out the office so they can transform it into a guest room. They are making progress!
Mommy and daddy start their childbirth classes next week. Wish them luck!
Hope everyone has a great week!
Love,
Left
P.S. - please say some prayers for Natalie Sue Siebenaler - she is the newest member of Justin and Kim Siebenaler's family. She's here in Cincy at Children's Hospital, and they have a few surgeries scheduled for her in the next few days. Please keep them all in your prayers!

Week 19 and ultrasound update
Hi everyone -
Mommy had her 19 week ultrasound today. Daddy came along so he could see how well we were doing.
I ("Right") felt like being ornery, so I kept moving around just to make things difficult for our ultrasound lady! They have a checklist of things they need to look at to ensure that I'm growing. I tried my best not to cooperate, but eventually, they saw everything they needed. Mommy and daddy do not want to know if I'm a boy or a girl, so the ultrasound lady made them look away when it came time to check out my legs. Daddy kept trying to peak though!
They say that I look like a perfectly normally little baby...other than being a feisty one! I weigh approximately 10 oz. currently, and my brain, heart, spine, kidneys, and bones all look good.
After they finished looking at me, they decided they may as well look at my sibling while they were there. "Left" as daddy calls my sibling was much better behaved. The ultrasound lady joked that all she had to do was think about what she wanted to look at next, and Left would just roll right over and made it easy for her to find what she needed. That Left, just trying to be the "good child" already.
Like me, the ultrasound lady said that everything looks perfectly normal with Left. 10 oz. for that baby too. This really helped put daddy's fears to rest, as he was really worried that I was taking all the food, and poor Left wasn't getting much. But since we are both the same size right now, that's really good!
Although mommy and daddy didn't find out if either of us are a boy or a girl, Daddy has made his predictions to mommy...but she's not sharing! Guess we'll have to wait and see!
The doctor then checked mommy's weight, blood pressure, and asked her how she is feeling. Everything is looking good. Mommy has had a few dizzy spells in the past week, but the doctor said that is normal. Seems to be when she's on her feet for longer than she's used to...so guess daddy needs to let her rest some more.
Our next appt. is in four weeks. We'll share more updates on what is going on in mommy and
daddy's lives before then. The shower for mommy's family is in just over 3 weeks!
Mommy will post the pictures of us later tonight or tomorrow...so please check back soon.
Love to you all,

Wonderful and productive labor day weekend
Wow - is the long weekend over already?
We had a GREAT weekend. Brian and I only worked 1/2 day on Friday, which gave us the afternoon to prepare for the weekend. RJ, Lyn, and Lylah arrived around 6:15, and we all enjoyed fajitas on the patio for dinner. Afterwards, we played Wii, and just enjoyed the evening, until Lyn and I fell asleep on the couches...then it was time for bed.
Saturday we were up early (with an 18 month old, sleeping in doesn't happen), and made ham, eggs, and toast for breakfast. The Willingers left around 10:30 to head to Louisville for a family get together that afternoon. Brian and I spent the afternoon running errands - TSC, Sam's Club, then off to BabiesRUs to add things to our registry. We made some good progress - just need to figure out the car seats and stroller, then we'll be pretty well set. After BabiesRUs, we stopped at Frisch's for milkshakes, then at Walmart to check out their baby department. We were home around 6, and needed a nap! The rest of the evening was researching car seats, and resting after a very productive Saturday.
We got up early on Sunday and went to 9:00 mass. After a quick stop at the grocery, we headed home and had an early lunch. After lunch, Brian stirred up cookies while I threw chili in the crockpot for dinner. The Willingers arrived back here around 3:30 - plenty of time to eat dinner before heading to the fireworks. We headed downtown around 5:30 to check out Riverfest...and had a lot of fun. Never realized how many people invade downtown!
Lylah made friends in the parking lot with some very sweet boys who let her play football with them, and also with the "neighbors" who shared their glow toys. Lylah enjoyed the fireworks, but got a little bit bored about 3/4 the way through. Parking was perfect though - as it only took us 1/2 hour to get home from downtown!
Today was a very lazy day. We had cereal for breakfast, then just visited the rest of the morning. Heated up a bunch of leftovers for lunch, then everyone (including Brian) were gone by 2:30. I spent the afternoon catching up on Y&R, and resting from the weekend.
It's back to work tomorrow, but then Brian will be home tomorrow night. Hope to have a productive week getting things cleaned out and rearranged in the house to accommodate the babies. Wish us luck!
Hope you all had a wonderful weekend, and we get to see or hear from you soon.
Love,
Kate

9/2 Appointment
Hi everyone -
Wow - it's sure been a busy week!
Mommy had an appointment this morning, and so she got to take a peak at both of us! Hope you like the pictures...cause they sure were hard to get! We both decided that we'd play a bit with the ultrasound tech, and tried really hard not to show her our faces. We both kept our heads down and pointed toward mommy's back. We eventually gave up, but it sure was fun.
The tech told mommy that things look really good...she showed mommy our brains, hearts, kidneys, and even our spines! We get to go back in two weeks, so daddy can see how big we've gotten, and they will continue to make sure that we are both growing!
Hope you all enjoy our pics - more to come in the future!
Love to you all...
Left and Right
Note from Mommy:
Right (baby A) is definitely more active than than Left (at least whenever we have ultrasounds done). However, both babies seem to be of good size, and are doing great! Almost to the half way point!

Don't forget to vote!
Almost forgot - don't forget to vote on what you think the babies will be! The poll is on the right side of the screen!
17 weeks - and the First of September!
Hi everyone -
Another week has passed, and we sure have been busy!
Friday night, Maw-ma and Paw-pa Muehlfeld arrived for a weekend visit. We ate pizza, enjoyed the cooler weather on the patio, and chatted most of the evening. We hadn't seen them for 5 weeks, so we had a lot to catch up on!
Saturday morning, Maw-ma, Paw-pa, and Uncle Aaron helped Mommy and Daddy can tomatoes. With the colder weather, we'll be making soup before we know it!
Mommy went early on Saturday to have some blood drawn for tests - so her and Daddy got out of the tomato canning for a little bit! Still waiting to hear the results of the blood work.
After making lunch, everyone had a bit of time to relax while we waited for Great Uncle John and Great Aunt Pam to arrive. We all went to church, then headed out to the vineyard for dinner. After dinner, Paw-pa and Uncle Aaron introduced Maw-ma to the Wii. They bowled a little bit till Maw-ma's shoulder hurt, then Uncle Aaron and Paw-pa checked out the baseball, tennis, golf, and boxing games. They had a lot of fun!
Mommy and Daddy played cards with Great Uncle John and Great Aunt Pam while the others played Wii. Daddy and Great Uncle John didn't have the best of luck against the ladies!
Sunday morning meant a big breakfast of hashbrown casserole, BLT's, and eggs...then apple crisp for dessert! It was a wonderful breakfast on the patio. Our guests left early in the afternoon to head home, which gave Mommy and Daddy time to nap!
Looks like a busy week ahead...many things to do before Uncle RJ, Aunt Lyn, and Lylah arrive on Friday. Hopefully we will get our registry completed this week before the shower invitations go out!
More on our accomplishments later this week! Hope everyone has a wonderful week!
