And We Are Having....

Hahaha I am gonna keep you in suspense and talk about my OB appt Monday. I went to see my Doctor and of coarse we listened to the heartbeats (which were great). I am actually measuring at about 7months (I am currently 5), but it is normal to measure about 6-8wks more than what you actually are with twins. We also talked about my work schedule. I told the her about how I am getting so tired by 3pm and am waddling around at work. I also told her about how I have yet to be able to go in for a follow up appt with the Physical Therapist because at I had my second appt scheduled and someone at work called out sick that day and the following day and then for the following week and 1/2 another employee was on vacation. We decided that I would reduce my hours to 6hr days. To be honest the first day I left early felt kinda weird, but I got to go home and take a nap before my hubby got home with the kiddos.

Oh the dreaded bedtime. My newest pregnancy struggle. I have been having the hardest time with the hip pain at night. By 20wks it is IMPOSSIBLE to sleep on your back and you can't exactly sleep on your stomach so I am stuck sleeping on either my left or right side. This is killing my hips! I am awake for a good 2-3hrs with such bad pain I am in tears. I have tried a pillow between my legs with no avail. I resorted to sleeping on the couch for the first time last night and I didn't hurt as much in the morning so I may just be stuck doing that until delivery. The only thing is my hubby wants me in bed next to him so I may have to try getting an actual body pillow, a heating pad, and possible one of those foam mattress things (all suggestions from other twin moms I know that have BTDT). We shall see and I will let you know if anything helps.

On to the good stuff! So we had our Ultrasound today and both babies are doing amazing. Baby A is weighing in at 11 oz and the heartbeat was 146. Baby B measured in at 11 oz as well and the heartbeat was 143. I am happy to announce that we are having identical baby GIRLS!!! I must say have been asked by a few people if I am disappointed being that I have always wanted a boy. Well the answer is absolutely not. The way I see it is I have so much experience with girls having two babies at once I think it will just make my life so much easier then if we had boys.

I go back for another Ultrasound in 2wks from now and my OB appt will be for April 1st.

Here is my 20wk belly shot! Although everyone is saying I am really starting to pop out I think it looks just about the same as the 16wk.

And for some added fun. My favorite picture from my Ultrasound today. This one is Baby A's foot. I love it because you can see the little toes and all!

 

Well that's all until next time...
