We are free and clear to share our joy of the twins with friends and family now that we are in the 2nd trimester!! It comes with a sigh of relief knowing we made it past the first 13 weeks with no issues. Now we only have to wait 3 more weeks for our next ultrasound where we should be able to find out their genders!
At our last ultrasound baby A was jumping all over the place and would not hold still. Baby B was pretty cooperative until the tech went down to see the baby's gender and what did Baby B do? Crossed his/her legs! It's not the time to be shy! I really hope at the next ultrasound they hold still for us.
I must say, I am really enjoying this part of pregnancy where I feel energetic enough to get things done AND I get the extra attention from Michael who likes to talk to the babies through my belly (although he says I'm not allowed.. that it's an A, B, and Daddy conversation so I should C my way out of it). I keep telling him that I can't wait for the day one of the babies kicks him in the face. His response? "I can't wait either!" These are definitely moments we will cherish the rest of our lives.
We have so much love for our babies and are amazed at how quickly time flies... 6 months from now we will have two children! Sometimes it barely seems real, but we wouldn't change it for anything!
Cravings?: Besides the 1/2 box of mac and cheese I ate at 6 A.M. on Sunday, no cravings.
My Weight Gain: Not exactly sure as we just moved all of our stuff-I'll have to weigh myself for Michael's spreadsheet. Starting this week I should gain about 1-1.5 lbs per week.
What's Happening in My Body?: Our babies can now squint, frown, grimace, pee and suck their thumbs! Brain impulses now give our little ones a facial workout as they switch from one expression to another. Their bodies are now growing faster than their heads (no more bobble heads!) and their arms will be proportionate to the rest of their bodies.
Our Babies are the Size of: Lemons - measures about 3 1/2 inches and weighs 1 1/2 ounces each!
