Baby A and Baby B are doing wonderful. We couldn't have asked for any better of a report card at this point. Being half way through this pregnancy is a huge milestone and we realize it's time to start counting down and prepping nursery ideas. We understand that this takes us knowing the genders of our little miracles. We will see what is in store for us soon as we plan on revealing the genders to family at Christmas time first and then everyone else will find out.
As the appointment goes, Baby A (on the right) had a heart rate of 150 and Baby B (on the left) had a heart rate of 139. They are on target for weight and age... a few days ahead actually. My belly is measuring at 22 weeks so I am close (2-3 weeks ahead) to target. I thought that was weird since I hear people with twins measure 4-6 weeks ahead. She said it had to do with weight gain as well.. Which I have put on 6 (ish) pounds finally since my last apt. So I can finally say I have gained some weight. With the babies being 10 and 11 oz. that probably takes up some of the poundage right there. Trust me, I am out eating the hubby some days, but it doesn't seem to make a difference for me. She did say 1-2 pounds a week last apt. After 4 weeks 6 pounds seems pretty reasonable to me!
We do have to say that these little one's are already very spoiled. Their clothing line has been started and will continue to grow as the shopping continues from everyone. As much as we have appreciated everyone trying to give us hand me downs, we are buying everything new from here since we are keeping track of what we have and want. As we have been prepping for this opportunity for many years, we will gladly buy them everything we can to enjoy this experience. Then we have a baby shower that will add to the mix. Did I say spoiled?? More like spoiled rotten! They won't know the difference, but we will and are excited to wander the stores for all the needs and wants of having a baby.
As much as I could blab on about how great this is, I know it's getting to be long. Until next time...
