Holy Smokes..16 Weeks 1 day
This is a photo from today. I can't believe how big I am in this photo. When looking at myself in the mirror or looking down I don't feel this big. Everyone else is noticing, but I almost feel weird growing this fast. I haven't gained any weight as of my OB last Thursday, but something is telling me that after family festivities and such this weekend I may have finally gained a pound or two. I am in awws at how big your belly can grow without gaining a pound. This must mean our little ones are growing strong and loving the food I am giving them (some good and some not so good).

First Sonogram Today
Today was our first Sonogram to hear the heartbeats. The baby on the right was the first one up and it took a minute because there seemed to be a little movement going on in there. There was some really cool swishing sounds in there and sounded like a storm brewing up in there! That heart rate was the slower of the two at 163. This is the baby that seems to always be rather calm when we do the ultrasounds.
When we moved over to the left I told the OB where I thought he/she was because of movement a couple weeks ago (yes, this is the baby that not shy at all and seems to always give the best poses during ultrasounds).. She was unsure that I felt something (MOMMY knows best in this case). Sure enough the heart beat was loud and clear when she set the wand there. We couldn't remember what the heart rate was for this one because we were so distracted by the amazement of it all. I keep telling Derek we need one of these dopplers for at home so we can listen to all the little noises they are making in there.. Of course he said that was a bad idea and shrugged it off. Humph!
Most importantly all is great still and I am a healthy mama. I really truly try my best to feed them healthy foods while treating myself once in awhile. This gracious miracle of life growing inside of me is enough motivation to take care of myself to be healthy afterwords. My uterus is measuring higher and bigger than one baby would. Today she was up towards my belly button and I figured it would be at least a couple inches lower. HAPPY BAKING BABIES!!!
P.S. Grandma Laurie is taking dibs on what the sexes are.. Derek says two boys (I think he just doesn't want to jinx that he wants a daddy's girl), Grandma Laurie and I say one boy and one girl. Old Wives Tales would say two girls according to the heart rates. Only time will tell... or the ultrasound reveal. Yay!
