This week marks our 23rd week. Today we went up to Springfield and had our 2 dr appointments. We had our first appointment with Dr. Frazer and had our 4 week ultrasound. Everything went great and we have 2 healthy babies. They both are about 1 lb and 2 oz a piece. Our second Dr. appointment was with Dr. Stanzyck. He measured me and checked the heartrates of both babies and again we were fine. We have one more 4 weeek appointment and then we will be making weekly visits to the dr. until they arrive.

The pictures of the piggy banks was a mother's day activity Justin and I did for the babies. We went up to this fun pottery shop in Springfield and got to paint the piggy banks for Morgan and Mackinzie. It was alot of fun and I think they turned out really cute. If you can't tell already the babies room will be white, pink and lime green. :)

Everything is on track and we are progressing very well.

20 weeks....

Well we will be buying LOTS of pink because are going to have 2 baby girls. The official names are Mackinzie Anne ( Mac or Kinzie for short) and Morgan Elizabeth. We are so excited and I think Justin is warming up to the idea that he will be constantly surrounded by woman. I have told him that he can get a really cool car and make himself a man cave in our house. Either way he is definately a proud papa.
We had an ultrasound last week with Dr. Frazier in Springfield where they checked out both girls and made sure every organ was present and functioning ok. They both look great with no real signs of Spina bifida. The Dr. said that because my level of AFP was only 4.47 and the cut off is 4.00 that they should be fine. However, we will be watched very closely from now until they get here. I will be averaging an ultrasound every 4 weeks and at the end will be getting fetal monitoring for 20 mins every week. Average twins are born between 34- 37 weeks so everyone be prepared because they might be showing up earlier than expected. :)
Our new Dr. in springfield is Dr. Stanzyck. I think he is really going to be a great move for us and is into every detail. He delivers about 90 % of his own cases and is very knowledgable about our case already. We are so excited to meet these two little girls as I have already noticed that they both are totally different. Morgan is my laid back girl who is not camera ready. Her back is always towards the camera and she is totally mellow. Mackinzie is my wild child. She is definately a little show off and has no problem being center of attention. We will see how it really goes when they get here but so far that is my prediction. Mackinzie is about 10 oz and Morgan is 8oz... which is quite normal for twins. Our next appointment is on the 18th and 19th of May where I will get a basic check in with Dr. Stanzyck and have another ultrasound.
