Had another doctor's appointment yesterday. Everything looks good. I am 21 weeks and 3 days along. From here on out I will be going to the doctors every week or two, depending on whats going on. Fun! Saw the babies briefly just to check their hearts out and to make sure everything looks good. They were moving around a lot... so cute as usual. My weight and blood pressure is good. Saw Dr B. we briefly discussed birthing options, I said we were pretty sure we were just going to do a planned C-Section, since there are risks no matter how you slice it. Nothing is set in stone yet (though I am pretty much set on it) but if/when I get a C-section they will schedule it for Monday June 25th. So as of now the latest my boys will be born is June 25th. That is providing they stay in my belly and don't decide to show up on their own schedule. Nothing else new to report, I have a sonogram in two weeks at my next check up.

So I am 20 weeks and 1/2 way through my pregnancy... well realistically more the half way through since twins like to come on avaerage 3 weeks early. I have decided I am more than likely getting a c-section since with twins there are tons of risks with natural birth and even if A comes out naturally B may still need a c-section. Plus then I know exactly when I will be delievering and I can prep better for it and parents can get into town, since this is the first (and second) grandchild on both sides. No one who doesn't know me believes that I am carry twins at 20 weeks. I guess I am smaller than they expect me to be. I was pretty skinny to begin with (not thin... but not over weight) and I am 5'11 so I guess I hide it well. The boys are doing well, I feel movements every now and then. They are fairly active.

Sleeping isn't a problem yet. Sometimes it takes a minute to get comfertable and I take my time rolling over because if I turn or bend funny it can get uncomfertable. I have woken up on more than one occassion with pains in my legs (i call them charlie horses.. but i guess some people never heard that term). Morning sickness has been gone for a while. I really didn't do that badly for having twins. Once a day a couple times a week. I was doing well for even one baby. I am getting tired of working. I am ready to just stay home and get ready for the babies and count down the days/weeks till I get to hold them. But I am going to work as long as I can. Though I think I may talk to Chris about stopping work at the beginning/middle of May so I have time to do things and also relax before they get here. That's assuming I am not put on bed rest.

Still working on names. I think we have chosen middle names. The first boy out gets the middle name Schubert, which is Chris's middle name, as well as his dad's, grandfather's and great grandfather's. So its a family name. The other boy gets the middle name Jeffrey. Which is my dad's first name. That way both sides of the family are represented. I am still getting a list together of real contenders for first names.

It's a Boy... and another Boy!!!!

Saw the boys again today. They are doing well. They are roughly 10 inches long an 11 ounces. Their backs are to eachother and head to foot opposite eachother. B decided it would be funny to sit on A's back and kick him in the head. And then he showed off the fact that he is in fact a boy :) A was not in the mood to deal with anyone today. Oh well. Next sonogram is in 3 weeks!!

19 week belly shots

Here they are two pics of me and the twins. Find out tomorrow the sexes... hopefully!! Assuming they are identical we only need one to roll over. With my luck they will gang up on their poor mommy and spend the time mooning me and laughing!
