Kick!

I could swear I felt TWO kicks last night (21w3d)!! They were from the same baby I'm sure but they were nice and strong!! :)

20 weeks

We are 20 weeks today! I don't feel much bigger than last week (sometimes I feel smaller and I think it's just the way the babies are laying because then there are times when I feel absolutely huge). I'm going to try and wait at least 2-3 weeks between pictures now! No need to stress myself out on my size!

We started one of our Registries this weekend. I was so overwhelmed at first. We were clicking on anything and everything! I still have several pack n plays on the list because I haven't decided which to get! I spent a couple of hours today looking at stuff on line and adjusting the registry. I will probably do at least 1 or 2 other registries just because most of our people are out of town.

We were at Target tonight... I just had to go by and look at the baby stuff. Well I ended up buying 2 3packs of body suits. They are cute!! The girls set has a salmon color one with a money on it, a white one, and a pink one with tons of monkeys on it. The boy's has an Orange that says I have a play date (with a monkey on it), a khaki striped that says Daddy's future all star, and a white one with tons of monkeys. :)

As for other stuff... let's see we have:
1 Crib
1 Play mat
1 Swing
2 Bouncy chairs
1 mattress (actually 2 as of today since a friend is giving me one she used with her daughter)
1 blanket we bought in the last couple of years (for good luck)
1 blanket my sister made when my daughter was born
some clothes (some hand me downs, the ones I bought today, and some long sleeve white/yellow onesies, and a girl and boy semi matching outfit).
3 screens for the car.

So needless to say we still have a long way to go but I would rather buy things here and there!

I am 95% sure I made a decision on the nursery bedding today. :) I am really excited about that!

19 weeks!

Halfway done considering my Dr will make sure I am delivered by 38 weeks!

Picture time!
19 weeks

18w3d

Course 18w3d was last Wednesday.... I haven't exactly felt like staying on the computer after work this week. We had our anatomy scan though. We found out the gender of Both babies this time!!!!

We are having..............




A Boy!!!!!!!!!!!!!

and


A Girl!!!!!!!!!!!!!

We are definitely excited to say the least!

Here are some more photos from that day.

For fun

Just for fun... comparing 10 weeks and 17 weeks... Definitely easier to see a difference between these two. :)

17w update

Sunday night I went to the ER. I had some cramping off an on (seemed like every 30-40 minutes at some points) so off I went. I just had to put my mind at ease that nothing was wrong. They did an ultrasound and said everything looks good per that. He didn't do an internal exam. I called my Dr office Monday and told them (per ER doc's orders). The Dr on call (guess mine wasn't in) said to go on bedrest (modified) until my Dr appt on Jan 9th (or thereabouts). I was watching the screen during the ultrasound. My cervix measured 3.12 and 3.2 during the 2 times she measured (abdominally). I was really hoping it would be over 3.5 at least. But hopefully now at least my Dr and the Peri will agree to watch it.

Oh and did find out that one of the babies is 100% Of course the other baby was still shy. I keep saying "She".


We also got our 2nd Trimester screening results back regarding the Downs/T18. They came back Negative!! Woohoo!!!! I did not ask for specific odds so that is one less thing I can stress about.

I have been feeling ok since Sunday night... I've had some cramping off and on but It's not consistent like it was on Sunday. And sometimes my stomach feels really really heavy!!! I don't know if that's because I was overweight to begin with or if it's because I'm carrying twins. Maybe I will look into one of those prenatal belts or something.

I still try to nap everyday... I'm nauseous occasionally. Still have food adversions as well. Besides that I'm just getting really excited about our Anatomy scan. Hard to believe I am 17 1/2 weeks already!

17 weeks

Belly pictures.... comparing 15 weeks & 17 weeks.


Not a huge difference the last 2 weeks... I can see some difference, a little rounder maybe. It's hard to tell with the different clothes. Maybe I should start wearing the same thing! I'm up 2 more pounds since my 15 week appointment. So 10 pounds total.

Not a whole lot has been going on lately. Trying not to obsess over every little twinge/pull/cramp. I have had to start iron supplements due to my hematocrit going down a bit, they say that happens a lot with twins.

I talked to the nurses on the nurse line with my insurance company (they call me once a month). They said I should have all the car seats and stuff like that bought by 32 weeks. After doing the math I was shocked since that is only 15 weeks away! That's less time than I have been pregnant!

Other than that, I'm counting down the days until our Anatomy scan so I can see my little ones on ultrasound again. :)
