22 week OB appointment update

This is the position the babies are in! A yin-yang! Baby Olivia is head down with her feet up in my ribs. Baby Brianna is feet down (on my bladder) with her head up in my ribs. Crazy girls!

So they look great. They are both still measuring ahead, one 1 day ahead and the other 2 days ahead. They are both in the 50th percentile for size, weight, and femur length (which I have been told is excellent for twinnos!). Baby Olivia is weighing in at 1 lb 4 oz and Baby Brianna is weighing in at 1 lb 3 oz. They are getting bigger as we speak! Heartbeats were good, fluid levels were good, and my cervix is peachy. All good news!

I go back in 3 weeks (as long as nothing comes up before then). After that visit (at 25 weeks) I will start my every two week visits. I will do my sugar test at week 27, and then they will start doing non-stress tests on the babies between 28 and 30 weeks. I feel like we are moving right along now! YAY!

Oh, and of course we have some ultrasound pics for you to look at! The girls are getting a little too big to fit their entire body on the screen (or picture) so you get more of pictures of body parts instead of pictures of babies. Too funny. You can see if you can make out what they told us these ultrasound pictures were. HA!

And here is a pic of a foot! I LOVE feet pics! You can see the little toes!!!


Have a great rest of your week everyone! I can't believe it's already Thursday. . .holiday weeks rock!! =)

22 week belly pics =)

It's that time again! Time for belly pics! YAY!

Here's the newest pics, taken tonight at 22 weeks:




We had an exciting weekend! We went up to Kearney for the 4th and Si's mom had an open house for our first baby shower (in combination with a wedding shower for Sylvia - Si's brother's fiancee). We all had a great time and were blessed with SO many gifts!! It was amazing! We are so grateful to have such wonderful family and friends! Now I get to write the thank you notes - it could take a while!!

What else is going on? We had our multiples class tonight - it was called multiple blessings =). The teacher was a triplet mom. I'm really glad we went because she was amazing and had some really good insight for us. Among other things she told us that we will likely go through 150 diapers a week - yikes - but she gave us some helpful information about the cheapest places to buy diapers, and where to get stuff for free! Now we just have to decide what other classes we still need to take. . .childbirth preparation? Breastfeeding multiples? Lamaze?? We have time still to decide, but not all that much! Time is quickly sneaking away from us!

Oh, and we have our next OB appointment tomorrow. We aren't actually seeing the OB (he took an extended weekend and all of his appointments had to be rescheduled), so we are seeing his PA. She is super nice and I know she will try really hard to get us some good ultrasound pics to post! If we get some, I will have Si scan them so I can post them for you all to see! Everyone likes to see the babies right? =).

Okay, that's really all I have for now! Happy Tuesday all!
