14 weeks..... first sight of the bump!

So today the twins are 14 weeks. We are officially in our second trimester! This is so exciting! Still sick but it is getting better..... I find that eating small meals works out good for me. I have noticed that the twins do not like anything too sweet so I really have to watch what I eat. I noticed the bump the other day and after many, many, many request I decided to post it. Six more weeks and we will know what we are having :) We cannot wait!

13 week check up!

Well, today has officially marked us at 13 weeks. We went to the dr and got to hear the heartbeats of both babies. Baby A is consistently higher than Baby B. Baby A was 163 beats and Baby B was 156. Justin and I agree that Baby A takes after me and Baby B seems to be more like him, laid back :) We will see though......
This week has been a rough week for me because of the sickness I have been going through. After the weekend of barely keeping anything down it was pretty evident that I needed to get hydrated. Monday I woke with cramping in my mid abdomen and after much pushing from my mom I decided to go to the ER. I received 2 1/2 bags of fluid via IV and was told to take a day off to rest. I am doing much better and the sickness is not as bad as it was but I don't want to say I am out of the woods because it seems to creep back. However, the Dr did give me Zofran for nausea and I am trying to only use it as needed.
Our next appointment is not till April 15th. Dr Ali will schedule an ultrasound 3 weeks after that appointment and we should know what we are having.... I am betting on it being a boy and a girl!

Baby Henry A

Baby Henry A is quite the active one! He/she was the first one the ultrasound tech checked and man was she having a hard time catching this one:) Baby A's heartrate today was 163 bpm and was just having a good ole time kicking and stretching his/her legs out. In these pics you can see the one picture of their hand looking like it is waving and at the end he/she just didn't want anymore pics taken of them and decided to hide:) .... It was so amazing to see how much they have developed.

12 weeks!!!

Today the twins are 12 weeks and one day old :). The last time we got to look at them they were only 8 weeks, and boy have they changed! This picture is of the both of them and it was super hard to get this picture since they both are very active.
Our appointment today consisted of an indepth ultrasound of both babies and a small finger prick from me. They measured the distance from their spine to the layer of skin on their neck to determine if they are a high or low risk for any genetic disorders. We are happy to report that both measurements seem to be good and they are healthy. We will not know for sure until we get our report next week.
