Pregnancy Update

Last night Benton & I went to our 17 week appointment. Our first item of business was to verify that there actually is still twins in my belly. Good news, there still is! We are still wrapping our heads around our BIG news.

The babies are weighing what they should. One baby is weighing one day ahead of the other, very close in size. Our doctor could see the lining separating the sacs, which was really thin. This makes her believe they are going to be identical twins, but we won't really know until they are born.

Baby #1, you can see the head facing up and HER cute little belly...

 

Baby #2, you can see the back of IT'S head and spine...

 

Our doctor is pretty sure the first one is a girl, but had a hard time seeing what the second one is. Our daughter is squishing the other baby, so it was hard to get a good glimpse of the gender. But she's guessing that it is a girl since she thinks they are identical. So now we get to wait another 4 weeks to find out for sure! Man, these next 4 weeks are going to go by so slowly!

My pregnancy so far...
-I have had REALLY bad heart burn but otherwise have felt great.
-I still haven't gained any weight since my first appointment at 7 weeks. I've actually lost 3 lbs. -I have had really bad nausea.
-I threw up for the first time, exactly at 17 weeks. *Reminder* Don't pack Benton's lunch in the morning, it doesn't sit well with the babes!
-I started feeling the babies flutter at 12 weeks.
-I now at 17 weeks can feel movement instead of flutters. I am sad that this will be my last pregnancy, I love carrying around little babies.

Yes, I am showing at 14 Weeks Pregnant...

 

now at 17 Weeks Pregnant...

 

Stayed tuned pregnancy update in 4 weeks from now!
