Oh, How They've Grown!
We are 16 weeks and growing fast (all 3 of us!). I'll show you pictures of the growing babies. But for now, the growing mommy will let you remember her as she was... thinner!
As of last week I can feel the babies moving! It feels like they are playing "thumps" in my belly! It is very faint, but it makes me stop what I am doing and smile every time!
We went to the doctor again today! I can't even begin to explain how much I look forward to seeing the babies every month! Baby ‘A’ was a little shy but we’re told it may be a boy. Baby ‘B’ refused to give us even a little hint. So far the ultrasound tech has only been able to see one placenta which would make them identical twins. So… if baby ‘A’ is in fact a boy, then baby ‘B’ would also be a boy!
Baby ‘A’ was snuggled low in the womb. Baby ‘B’ was stretched out high in my ribs. That may explain the heartburn and shortness of breath. I guess they are enjoying the space while they have it! Both have strong, healthy heartbeats and weigh about 5 ounces each.
I was wrong about the due date… It is actually November 7th. It is uncommon to carry twins for a full 40 weeks, so we may have them mid-October. We are all just praying that they are fat and healthy! If my appetite is any indication… they will be big babies!
Our next appointment will be with a specialist in a couple of weeks. We will hopefully get a clearer picture of the babies and the doctor can confirm that we are having boys or girls. I am ready to know so I can call them something other than Baby 'A' and Baby 'B'!
