21 wks

Sorry for the no make-up. It was a no make-up kind of Saturday!

Update and Pictures

Today we had our 20 week scan a little late.

We are now 21 weeks.

Everything looks great!

Baby A is 13 oz and Baby B 12 oz.

Dr. Popwell said that we are doing great and he will see us back in 3 weeks.

The girls were both moving around a lot. I am able to feel them kick every so often. One of the reason that I do not feel them as much as other pregnant mothers is that my placenta (both of them) are on the top part of my belly, so they have to kick extra hard for me to feel their kicks.

As they get bigger and stronger I will be able to feel them more.

Last night Eric was able to feel one of them kick. I think it was Mable. She is on my left side and Ruby on my right side.

At this point we say A is Ruby and B is Mable. When it gets closer to time for them to get here we will know who will come out first. That's how we will be able to name them.

Grow babies Grow!

19 weeks

My belly really came out this week!!

Baby A is 11 oz and B 9oz

Update @ 19 weeks

Today we had our second appointment with Dr. Jones (our specialist).

2 weeks ago he told me to limit my actives, due to my cervix being thinner than he would like to see. When we came back he would tell me if I was to go on bed rest or be ok.

They like to see around a 3 and mine was 2.7.

Today when we went I was soooo nervous!

I had prepared myself for the fact that I could go on bed rest at 19 weeks.

I made sure a lot of things were done just in case.

The sheets were in the dryer, the house was being cleaned, and the girls room was painted.

But today we got some good news...

My cervix had grown!

I am now in the 3 range.

He told me to keep limiting my actives, no exercising, no lifting and rest when I can.

I am very happy that I did not have to go on bed rest! Although, I would have done it with a smile on my face.

Anything for my babies!

We go back to the specialist in 4 weeks.

18 weeks

...a little late.
