Say that again doc...

I went in today for a quick doctor's appointment where they weigh me, measure me, and listen to the babies' heartbeats. I've been feeling good in my second trimester, despite the mad heartburn and the appearance of cankles. Oh, and getting winded just climbing a flight a stairs, that's a lot of fun too!



So back to my appointment...when my doctor came into the room and started looking at my chart, she said what I hear from a lot of people...that I don't look as far along as I am, especially for having twins. When it was time to climb onto the table and measure my belly though, I was shocked when she told me that I'm measuring at 32 weeks...that's almost 2 months farther along than I am!! I suppose I should consider myself lucky that I still have room to grow, which I'm going to be doing a lot of in the next few months. I can't wait for my next ultrasound to find out how big the babies are, considering they've been measuring big already.

I went ahead and took another goofy cell phone picture of my belly since Skip is standing on the roof of our new shed at the moment, putting on the roofing. Enjoy!!

Three Pounds of Babies




My growth ultrasound this morning was another great appointment! The purpose of today was to check the growth of each baby and make sure they are still doing well. Of course both of them were squirming around, making it difficult for the ultrasound tech to get her measurements! Both babies have also changed from being in a breech position heads down, but they each still have plenty of room to do their somersaults, which it feels like they are doing all the time!


Baby Girl (A) weighs 1 1/2 pounds and is in the 81st percentile for height and weight.




















Baby Boy (B) weighs 1 1/2 pounds and is in the 86th percentile for height and weight.



















I love my alien face babies! This one of the boy shows a front-face view with him laying on his left side with his left arm up to his face and his right arm out in front of his body.

Baby Kicks

After about 2 months of getting to feel the babies moving and kicking all by myself, Skip finally felt his first kick tonight. Our little guy was moving around quite a bit, and kicked his daddy square in the hand. Skip knew right away that he felt a baby kick, and it was so cool to see how excited he was to feel his baby! :)
