The big announcment!!!!

Its been a busy week. I'm somewhere between 19 and 20 weeks. I had my ultrasound yesterday and an OB appt today.
I'll get to the news first...
Looks like I'm carrying a double dose of....
PINK!!

I had a great ultrasound yesterday. We were able to call the mom on skype so she could watch it. She's just so happy to see that both babies are healthy and growing nice and big. It was a big day for them. It was fun to see them moving all around yesterday. Boy are they busy little ones. Baby A measured 19w5d and baby B measured 20w2d. My original due date was March 19th and now its between the 17th and the 13th, based off the ultrasound. I'm going with March 16th (since its my birthday). He said it doesn't really matter anyway since they don't let twins go full term and they'll likely induce me around Feb 27th.
I'll get on with the pictures.

Here is a picture with both heads.

Here is the cute Baby A!! Love those lips!!
And little miss Baby B!!



I drew a picture of my belly and how the babies are lying. Don't judge my artistic abilities...there is a reason why I did make Art my career.
Baby A has its head down in the lower left side and legs going across my abdomin to the upper right side, and baby B is all snuggled breach in the lower right side. I have one low lying anterior placenta, and another higher posterior placenta. Which makes sense, as I feel a lot of movement in the upper part of my stomach and not a whole lot in the bottow, where its all babies.

My stomach at my OB appt today measured 26 weeks. I'm up another 2lbs. Dr is not concerned with my weight gain, or lack there of. Babies are doing great, despite my small weight gain. My BP was great. So everything is going well. He did tell me I can see the chiropractor for my back. As that will probably only get worse the bigger I get, if I don't try to get it taken care of.

This week the babies are the size of a mango. I think they are the size of a mango, crown to rump length. Its right around this time that they are fully stretching their legs out. And head to toe their about 10 inchs. I think thats about all for this week. I'll go back to see my Dr the week after Thanksgiving...maybe my weight will be up then.

Dr said unless I start having complications, he won't order another ultrasound until I'm about 32 weeks.

Have a good weekend and have a Happy Halloween.
