Inside and Out

Here's how these little ones look on the outside:


And here is what they look like on the inside:



 

That's right, if you are reading the last picture correctly, they are sisters.  We're having 2 girls They were positive about Baby B and they want to double check Baby A at my next appointment but they were pretty sure she was a girl too.  I had my latest ultrasound yesterday and both girls are looking great still.  I thought it was so cute that they were facing each other.  The u/s tech said this would probably be the last shot we would get of both babies together in the same picture because they will be too big by the next time.

Other tidbits of information about the pregnancy thus far:
  • I'll be 15 weeks on Monday
  • My nightly feeling yucky and bloated has subsided a little, yeah
  • I haven't been quite as tired...that might be just because I get more sleep now and force myself to go to bed earlier than I normally would.
  • I am starting to show...hence the photo above...I wish I could stay this size! :)
  • I haven't had any real cravings but there are definitely days that something sounds better than others, but it's just random.  I'm trying to force myself to eat healthy and eat a lot as they want me to gain quite a bit of weight the first half of my pregnancy.
  • I started feeling them move this week.  It seemed a little early but I guess with twins it's pretty common.   The first time I felt Baby A move, she did a roll or something. It brought me straight out of my thoughts as I was driving one morning.  Since then I've felt little flutters here and there.  It's fun now but I'm sure as they get bigger and start actually kicking me it won't be as fun.  My doctor and u/s tech. on Friday were commenting on how much they were moving.  I may be in for it!
  • No we haven't even begun thinking about names and decorating or anything like that, I'm sure it will come.

Yay! I've been waiting to see the pictures! And I was surprised to see one of you too. I love your tummy. I love that you're already showing. So fun! The u/s pictures are so cute. Last time they'll be photographed together.... not once they're born! The u/s pictures turned out great! Love the cute little profiles.
