20 Weeks

Well, I think I am finally calming down and not freaking out so much. It was just too much in two weeks. I can only hope that next week will bring nothing but good news. I don't think I can handle another week of bad.

The contractions still come and go. It seems to be the hour before my procardia is due is when I start having issues. I have been trying to drink more water today.

I am scheduled to see the OB every Tuesday and then the cervical length and fluid checks on Wednesdays. So, I can get out at least 2 days during the week. I am going to keep a bag of clothes in the car just in case I keep making trips to L&D. I just need to be prepared. I will start bringing a book as well:) Aaron can't go every week with me. I wish he could though.

I was able to get a little time out today. I had a hair appointment, I changed to my summer colors. I just need to get a tan to go along with it. I came home and laid down after my hair appointment and then Aaron took me to Michael's for some more craft stuff. As I was checking out there was a teenage boy, he asked when the baby was do. I told him October and it was twin girls, you know the usual bragging mom thing. He looked down at my feet and said, "It looks like you already have 'cankles' kicking". I make my deer in the headlights look and say, "yes, I am swollen". I grabbed my bag and left the store. WTF? really? I didn't think they were that bad. Man, I am sensitive.

Pregnancy hormones are a very funny thing. It's amazing how emotional it can be. Last night Aaron and I were talking about the girls being our age or something like that and he said, "What you want them pushing 40?" I looked at him and tears were in my eyes. I started laughing, but was crying my eyes out at the thought of turning 40. I started crying more than I was laughing. He was in tears from laughing so hard at me. I am still dealing with being in my 30's. I cried when I turned 30 and 31. Seriously, who cries when it's still 9 years away. This will be a story Aaron will never ever let me forget.

Well, I am off to get some sleep. I am so tired, you would think I ran a marathon today or something.

Of course the weekly pictures, it's getting bigger and you can see my summer color.

I know stop Googling.....

But I found a website that helps me feel better and wanted to share, maybe I might save another mommy and daddy from worrying as much. There is still worry in my head, that's not going to go away. I will question my OB and Peri at the next appointment about any other markers, if anything else shows concern. This is going to be a long 3-4 months.

I also found a chat board for CPC parents
The site has lots of great success stories:)

Choroid Plexus Cysts
The presence of isolated choroid plexus cysts (CPCs) on a second trimester ultrasound is a common cause of anxiety, although it is almost always an innocent finding. Here are the answers to some commonly asked questions about CPCs.

What are choroid plexus cysts?
The choroid plexus is the part of the brain that makes cerebrospinal fluid, the fluid that normally bathes and protects the brain and spinal column. In about 1 percent to 2 percent of normal babies -- 1 out of 50 to 100 -- a tiny bubble of fluid is pinched off as the choroid plexus forms. This appears as a cyst inside the choroid plexus at the time of ultrasound. A choroid plexus cyst can be likened to a blister and is not considered a brain abnormality.

What is going to happen to the cyst? Will it enlarge?
In the vast majority of cases, the cyst resolves or disappears and has no consequences.

What is the concern?
As mentioned, choroid plexus cysts are present in 1 percent to 2 percent of normal fetuses. However, in a very small percentage of fetuses with choroid plexus cysts, there is an associated chromosome disorder called trisomy 18. Fetuses with trisomy 18 have an extra copy of chromosome 18. Frequently, fetuses with trisomy 18 are stillborn. Survivors beyond infancy are rare. They have severe mental retardation and a variety of other problems including abnormalities of almost any organ system such as the heart, brain and kidneys. Fetuses with trisomy 18 have choroid plexus cysts about a third of the time. Therefore, when we see choroid plexus cysts, we are concerned that the fetus may have trisomy 18.

Trisomy 18 is rare. It is present in less than 1in 3,000 newborns. Choroid plexus cysts are relatively common in normal fetuses. Most fetuses with a choroid plexus cyst are normal. Furthermore, many of the abnormalities associated with trisomy 18 can be detected by a careful ultrasound. In fact, fetuses with trisomy 18 almost always demonstrate abnormalities on ultrasound in addition to choroid plexus cysts, although some of these abnormalities can be quite subtle. If no additional abnormalities are detected by a thorough "level II" ultrasound, the likelihood the fetus has trisomy 18 is very low.

What are the odds that it is a sign of the chromosomal disorder trisomy 18?
The precise rate of risk is difficult to estimate and is somewhat controversial, but most doctors believe it is well under 1 percent. In other words, a fetus with choroid plexus cysts but an otherwise normal ultrasound has a better than 99 percent chance of not having trisomy 18. A normal alpha fetoprotein (AFP) test further reduces the likelihood of trisomy 18.

Does the size of the cyst matter?
Ordinarily, the size does not matter, although multiple, large cysts are slightly more worrisome.

What is the next step after a cyst is discovered?
We can perform an amniocentesis, and count the number of chromosomes in the fetus to be certain there is not an extra copy of chromosome 18. At the same time, we can rule out other chromosomal abnormalities, such as Down syndrome, although we have no reason to suspect any of these in your case. However there is a small risk of amniocentesis causing a miscarriage.

How high is the miscarriage risk with amniocentesis?
The rate of risk for miscarriage with amniocentesis is difficult to determine. Many doctors cite 0.5 percent or 1 in 200.

Can I just wait to see if the cyst resolves?
That won't help your decision, because cysts almost always resolve in both normal fetuses, as well at those with trisomy 18. The natural course for a CPC is to resolve or disappear. However, even when the cyst resolves, it does not reduce the chance that the fetus has trisomy 18.

What should I do?
If you do nothing further, you should be confident that your baby most likely has normal chromosomes. If you have not yet had an alpha fetoprotein (AFP) test, this can be done to further evaluate the chance of trisomy 18. A level II ultrasound, or a targeted scan, should be done, if it has not been done already to look for other signs of trisomy 18. If you need to be certain, we can do the amniocentesis, with the knowledge that it is very unlikely to result in a complication. Your decision should depend on what you would do with the information from an amniocentesis, how you would feel about a miscarriage, how you would feel about an affected child and the anxiety you might feel until the child is born. If you want to proceed with the amniocentesis, you can be reassured that the complications from the procedure are quite rare.

More checkups, more worries...

So, I had my weekly cervical length scan, fluid check and NST today. Here are the updates:

Cervical length check: AWESOME!!!! It went from 3.5 to 4!!!! So excited!
Fluid check: perfect, both babies over 2 cm of fluid pocket.
NST: Failed!!!

I was back in triage being hooked up to be monitored. I was having a lot of contractions. I was given another shot, then my procardia and I was sent home. I was in L&D for 2 plus hours. When I left the nurse said she would see me next Wed. It seems like it's going to be a weekly thing. She said if I was bored over the weekend she was on duty to come back and see her:)

Okay, now more stuff to worry about. During the cervical length check the babies both decided to go head down. It looked like they were fighting for camera time. They are definitely my girls. So anyway, since both babies showed their heads she was looking at their brains. She kept looking at them and taking pictures. I thought it was weird she was focusing on the babies and not my cervix, but she took a lot of pictures last time so I just let it go.

After the scans, I get dressed and come out to meet a peri doctor. This in itself freaks me out. They only grab the doctors if something it wrong. Well, both babies have CPS (Choroid plexus cyst). Baby A has 2 of these cyst and baby B has 1. I was fighting tears as she was telling me this. I tried not to freak out, but I am a hormonal pregnant lady, what do you expect? She told me most resolve themselves by week 26. They don't harm the babies. I asked "what if?" and she said she has never seen the "what if?" that in 99.9% of the time they clear up with no problems.

I really just want 100% good news. I have enough on my plate. I am trying to remain positive, but it's hard. I feel like I just get beat down with crap. I need nothing but good news in one appointment. I gotta pick myself back up.

And for the love of GOD, I need to stay off google. It only made things worse.

A few updates...

I had a doctor appointment this morning and he put me on bed rest indefinite. I will be on the couch or the bed until my baby girls are born. I wasn't expecting this now, so it's going to take some time to get used to. Last week, I was put on a week-by-week basis, but he said today bed rest until the babies make their appearance. I will do anything to keep these little ones in there cooking.

I go in for a fluid check and cervical length check tomorrow morning. I am praying that my cervix doesn't shorten even more. I hope it stays put, it's still above 2.5 and that's where we need to keep it.

The contractions haven't totally stopped yet, which sucks. I really want this to go smooth. I am stuck to the couch. I did get permission to go to the New Kids in a wheelchair, GO ME! I am not allowed out of it. I am sure I will have to drink a ton of water too.

The little ones have been very active today. Aaron finally felt Cali-Kay kick for the first time. He thought it was me, but once I told him that it wasn't me he just smiled. It totally made his day. He is a proud daddy today. He is however being lazy, he has just one more thing to paint. I keep begging for him to do it and he won't. This is why I hate being on bed rest. I want it done. Yes, I realize how I sound. (Very Kate like from Jon and Kate).

The girls have been kicking non-stop since he left the room. It's pretty funny:)

Aaron was a sweetie yesterday, he took me to get some crafts to work on to help make bed rest go a little easier. He also helped pick out the material for the curtains, the window seat pillow and extra pillows to put on window. I love the material. I took pictures, because I have nothing better to do. I am sorry if I am boring you with all the baby room talk. Once Aaron finishes painting I will take pictures of that too.

3 fabric choices:)

The raspberry is for the curtains. You like?

Aaron picked this material out:) The lady at JoAnn's couldn't believe what a help he was. She said most men would have to be drunk to be that willing:)

For the little pillows for the window seat.

This one is for the actual window seat cushion. I love the 3 together and think they will work well together.

Well, tomorrow we have the fluid check and cervical length, wish me luck. Hopefully it will be good news.

Boredom

Well, the plan this weekend was to paint before I went on bed rest. I didn't make it to the first plan. Aaron and my mother in law are painting now and I am sitting in the living room watching Jon and Kate plus 8. I really hate this show, but there is nothing on and my first netflix movie hasn't been sent yet.

I feel really guilty just sitting here. I hate that Aaron has to do everything and I have to depend on people. I will never get over that. I love, love being lazy, but hate being helpless. There is so much I could be doing and working on.

_________

The above was earlier today. I got side tracked by watching more Jon and Kate plus 8. Have I mentioned I hate this show, but I can't wait to see the season opener with them "facing each other for the first time ever". Too funny, I just watched their vow renewal and she couldn't stop yelling at the kids during the ceremony. What a witch.

It ended up being a good day. My friend Holly came over, it's always good to see her. Her husband just had a major surgery and is doing great. She needed a break to get away and I love hanging out with her. It worked out in my favor. I was suppose to have 2 other friends come over as well, but one was sick and the other had issues with a babysitter. (Meaning her hubby was busy). Oh well, I will see them again soon. I got to spend more time with Holly, all is good in the world.

I brought out my crafty stuff and started working on baskets for the girls. This should keep me busy for at least a month or so. I have no idea what I am going to do yet on them, but something will come to me:)

The girls' room is almost done. Aaron is going to get the dark green paint tomorrow to finish it up, but it looks awesome. I can't wait to get everything in there. I am so excited about their room. It's all going to come together. I will take pictures once it's all done:)

Well, I am going to relocate to the bedroom. I am sick of the couch.
Good night

19 weeks... I would like 20 to be better!

As you can read from my previous post things aren't going so well this week. I was hoping for a smooth pregnancy. I am anxious to have my appointment on Tuesday. I wonder what the OB is going to say. I am tempted to just start seeing the peri doctors at Good Sam. I like my OB's, but I don't feel like I am getting anywhere. I am in love with these two little girls. I want to make sure they are safe for the next 18 years. Well, beyond 18.

Not too much to update, it's all been said. I am just sitting here bored. Why can't they make day time TV better? Seriously, nothing good is on. I just signed up for netflix today. I'm ready for my first movie;)

Here are this weeks pictures. Just out of the shower for my 5 minutes being up and moving:)

L&D again....

This is going to be a quick post. I haven't taken the weekly picture yet.

I started having contractions again. I called the high risk nurse and she sent me to Labor and Delivery again. I was in triage for about 2 and half hours. I was having irregular contractions. They gave me another shot and I took my dose of procardia and they stopped. I was sent home after about an hour of no activity. I hope this isn't a daily visit.

I am scared, but I feel confident everything is going to be okay. I just really wanted this to be easy pregnancy since it took so long to get pregnant. I love these little girls. I need to keep them in there for a lot longer.

Aaron was amazing as usual. He knows exactly what to do to make me feel better. He was goofy, funny and loving while waiting in triage. He just needs to understand he is not Dr. Aaron:) He wants to play with the stirrups too much:)

Well, I am going to try and get some sleep. This bed rest business is hard. I like being lazy, but I don't like being helpless.

Good night.

What a FREAKING DAY!!! UGH

I had my cervical length and fluid check this morning. The fluid check went very well, both babies are showing above average, which is over 2cm of fluid. They were adorable during the ultra sound, they wouldn't let her get a good picture, they were moving everywhere. She gave me a few good shots of the babies. I'm so in love with them.

Okay, next up the cervical length check. Guess what? It has shortened. My super star rocking cervix is letting me down. I lost a cm since last week. So the next question was, "What's making this happening?" I moved to the next room to get hooked up to the monitors and yep I was having contractions pretty close together. I was by myself, I couldn't get a hold of Aaron or my mom. I was going crazy. My boss called me and I lost it on the phone with her. I had no idea what was going to happen.

I was hooked up to the machine for about 30-35 minutes, the perinatologists came in to talk to me and said he was going to admit me for observation. I am crying my eyes out. I finally get a hold of Aaron. He is of course 40-45 minutes away.

I move to L&D for observation, get in a gown, climb in bed, get hooked back up and the nurse comes at me with a needle of procardia. The peri said I would be there for 23 hours, UGH!

I get the shot and the contractions slow down, THANK GOD! I stay on the monitor and a few hours later I was given 2 pills of procardia, it worked. By 6:00 pm the contractions had stopped and I was released from the hospital and I am now home.

Of course the outcome, I am on strict bedrest and I am suppose to take 2 procardia pills every 4 hours. I hate the way it makes me feel, but I will do anything to keep these 2 little angels in the womb. I want to meet them, just not this soon.

Today was such a roller coaster, I thought it was going to be a quick check-up and ended up in the hospital. I am very thankful to be home. I will be glued to the bed or couch.

----------------------------------------------------

Dear Uterus,
Please don't contract anymore. I would like to keep my daughters in as long as they need to be. It's not time to push them out. You are suppose to give them 40 weeks, we are being kind to you and will have them out at 38 weeks. I will tell them to calm down on the kicking, but please, please don't kick them out yet. They need your help.

Thanks,
Babbs

------------------------------------------------------


Dear Savannah and Callista,
Get comfy in there:) You have 19 weeks before you can meet Daddy and I. We can't wait to meet you, but you have a lot of growing first. Can you please be nice to Ms. uterus and ease up on the kicks. Hugs and kisses!

I love you babies,
Love Mommy

-------------------------------------------------------

It's been an emotional day, thanks for letting me get a little corny:)

SHOPPING TIME!!!!

Having girls is going to get me in soooooo much trouble! I spent a lot of money today. I think it's time for poppa Aaron to get a second job:)

I found the girls bedding and OMG I fell in love. It met all my criteria, pink and green and bold colors with lots of shapes.

Let me just say buying 2 of everything is very expensive. Oh my, I was doing my part for the economy today. I have lots of pictures of my shopping today! You ready?

The bedding!!! I bought the 6 piece crib set, that includes: the blanket, the bumper, the crib sheet, the valance, the skirt and the diaper hanger. I also bought the lamp, 2 mobiles and 2 baskets. What do you think? I am going to paint the walls a cool green. The cribs are espresso color.

Extra blankets for the Savannah and Callista:)

The basket and extra blankets to match the set! SOOOOO CUTE!

My sister bought 2 blankets like this! I seriously love this set!

2 pillows we found as we walked into the store, BEFORE finding the bedding set. I will put this on my glider! I can't wait to get the room together!

Now you know I can't go shopping without buying clothes!!! My God I am in trouble. Everything is soooooo cute.
Look at these little onsies I bought. They made Aaron smile:)

There isn't much that says "I love mommy" in girl clothing! So daddy wins again!

How cute are these little outfits. I know I need to stop buying everything in 2's, but it's hard. I won't dress them the same every time, just most of the time:)

And jackets for next spring. Kohls had a great sale!

18 weeks and update from the OB

Okay, so this was kind of a tough week in the Babbs and Aaron household. I didn't like what I heard at the OB's office. It was painful to here. Here is the gist of everything:

The OB said I could be a victim of early technology (I'm not sure I know what this means) and things will work itself out, but it could be Baby B (Callista) is not getting enough of the placenta needs. Only time will tell, I start weekly cervical lengths and fluid checks on the babies next week (the 20th). They will make the call in the next few weeks about bedrest. It looks like I am heading there earlier than expected. I didn't want to do it that soon. The OB said with bedrest the placenta will have more bood flow and oxygen to support both babies instead of using it on me walking and moving around. The one plus is my cervix is completely closed and the length checks are outstanding.

What's this mean for little Cali-kay? She is 18% behind Savannah and the next few weeks with fluid checks will tells us more. The OB said week 24 will be the "week" to know Cali-Kay's status. I told Savannah she better start sharing with her sister or she will be in big trouble when she gets out of there in 4-5 months:)

I spent Tuesday in tears. It was tough to hear. It took so long to get pregnant I just want everything to go smooth. I don't want anymore bump in the roads. I want to bring home 2 healthy little girls.

Updates on the pregnancy, I was good on morning sickness for a week and now it's back. I guess it just last all pregnancy and there is nothing I can do about it. I am just hoping I am keeping down food as I needed for the little princesses:) My back is definitely getting worse. It just hurts so bad in my chair all day. I try to get up and walk around, but it's just not enough. It just hurts. Now, I have this weird infection under my eye. You can see it on my right eye in the pictures. I tried to cover with make-up, but it didn't work. I think it's from crying so much Tuesday. I am not sure if I scratched it and then got something in it. I couldn't even open it yesterday. It's very gross.

I think Aaron is actually getting excited about having 2 little girls running around here. They are going to have him so wrapped around their tiny little fingers! I told him that I am the Queen B and they are the little princesses and he is going to have to pamper and take care of us:) I think he took it well. He is going to be a wonderful Daddy!

So this weeked will be operation Baby Girls' room! It's going to rain and I would like to get some ideas on what to do. I would really like to have their room done before I get put on bed rest. I have so many color ideas in mind. I have so many ideas.... Hmmmm....stay tuned.

Oh and Aaron's dad bought our stroller and 2 car seats! How sweet is he? It's a huge relief to have that out of the way:) Big items!!!

I will scan in the ultra sound pictures this weekend. They are soooo good. I love their little profile pictures, you can see their little noses and lips. It's amazing!

Here I am at weeks 18! Aaron's dad said I was getting big:)

The twins are....

GIRLS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I don't think I could be more excited than right now. Really? Don't get me wrong I would have been just as happy with boys, but once they tell you what your babies are you fall in love. Baby A will be Savannah Elizabeth and Baby B will be Callista Kathleen!

I think daddy is a little nervous. His facebook status is: OH SNAP! I'm totally outnumbered. What am I gonna do with TWIN GIRLS?

How cute is he?

I called my brother's about an hour ago to talk to him, Stacy and my nieces. Andie and Jessie seem the happiest. They were so cute when I told them. They wanted the twins to be girls really bad. They will get to teach them all things girly:)

So, onto the doctor appointment. Savannah is measuring perfect, as she did before. However, Callista is 18% behind Savannah. I am one nervous mommy-to-be right now. When she hits 20% behind is when they are at risk for TTTS (Twin to Twin transfer syndrome). I have an OB appointment tomorrow morning, I am hoping to leave that appointment with an action plan and lots of info. I don't really know what to expect. It's scary and overwhelming. I hate waiting for stuff like this. I just want to make sure they are healthy.

My cervical length check went very good though, which is great. Again it needs to be above 2.5 and last time I was at 3.91 and now at 4.1!!! That's great, at least they are stuck in there right now!

My complaints today, my back is really hurting now. I guess I am just gaining too much weight so fast. I didn't have morning sickness this past week, but today I had it back and UGH it was bad. I couldn't really eat that much. I need to make myself eat again.

I haven't scanned in the pictures yet and we do have video of the ultra sound. Aaron was recording, we didn't expect it to be so long, but he got half of it.

We also went to Babies'R'Us today and registered for some more items. I also bought a few twin onsies! They are so cute I will post pictures below of them.

I didn't get to scan the pictures of the ultra sound yet. I am hoping to do that tomorrow. I am really tired today and I had a dentist appointment. I will post them as soon as I get a chance. They are so clear this time! Man, I love my baby girls!!!!

Aunt Nicole (Aaron's sister) bought these for the girls!!!

Aren't the adorable???

I wanted these since we found out they were twins!

The next 3 are the ones we bought today after we found out the babies were girls!!!

I don't know why these 2 didn't rotate right and I can't figure out how to fix it=(

I love my friends!!!

I went to work today and had a coffee cup filled with chocolates and a card from my cubemate. I had a few friends send Mother's day cards and now cookies from my knot friend Cali from Oregon. Look at these adorable cookies, of course made by Vicki!!! remember she made the cookies for my RE and staff?

17 Weeks

Well, I feel hydrated now. I have been drinking water and running to the bathroom every 20 minutes. I will do anything to keep this pregnancy going smooth. The pain is feeling better to, it's just a mild dull pain now. I was back at work today.

I think I am hitting a spot finally where my morning sickness is going to ease up on me. I haven't puked all week. It's amazing:) I almost did this morning, but it was over as soon as I got away from the garage. (The garage is what really sets me off, I hate the smell) I could actually make dinner last night with no issues. In the past few months the site of raw chicken would have me gagging, but had no issues last night. Hopefully that means we can start eating at home now. Eating out is getting really old.

I have my big ultra sound on Monday!!!! We will get confirmation if they are girls or boys. I am anxious to see if it's what the ultra sound tech told me they were. Only a few more days and we will have the answers!!!

On a bitter betty note, we are cancelling our trip to New Mexico to see my brother. I am pretty bummed about it, but it's for the best for me and the babies. It was going to be pretty awesome. I had my brother and SIL with their 2 girls from Michigan and then there was my brother who lives here in Kentucky going with SIL and nephews. We had a 3 day trip to the Grand Canyon planned and everything, but we realize that it's just not in the cards for us. It's better I take care of myself for the babies. Oh well, hopefully I will get to meet my brother's new wife and step daughter soon.

Well, Thursday nights show are getting ready to start so I am going to end this;)
Here are the pictures!

I'm "that" pregnant lady...

I have been having some pain on the lower right side of my belly over the past 3 days. It hurts to sit, to stand, to walk and to sneeze or cough. I couldn't take it anymore so I called the OB. The nurse had me come in to have a look over. I thought it was going to be my OB, but of course it wasn't. It was another doctor in the practice, which is fine, I have to meet them all anyways.

I told him right away that I am the crazy pregnant lady that calls whenever I feel anything:) He assured me I was doing the right thing and to always follow my gut. It's nice having the doctor on my side.

I tell him what I am feeling and of course this means pelvic exam time. First he gets the doppler out and finds both heartbeats, that's always music to your ears. I confess I listened to them on my doppler before leaving for the doctor.

So, he did my pelvic exam , man I hate those. He said my cervix was high and closed. I was perfect, which I also like to hear. I did have a swollen ovary and I am having mild contractions, which he said was totally normal and fine. He did say I was showing signs of dehydration to drink more water, but to have an empty bladder. Okay, whatever you say doctor. I have been downing water since then. He always wants me to take it easy the next couple of days, so I will be working from home. I am lucky I have a job and an awesome boss who let's me do that. I swear I have the most caring and sweet boss when it comes to personal stuff. She is located in Texas and I am here in Kentucky, so it's hard not being able to see her face to face. She did call me at home, which I thought was very thoughtful. She definitely cares and understands.

I do have a funny story from shopping with my sister the other day, well it was with my niece. I had some new shirts I was buying from motherhood and she was in the dressing room with me giving her opinion. Little miss Hannah can certainly give her opinion. I tried on this red shirt, that I just loved and thought looked good on me. Well, I asked her what she thought. She actually gave my the side eye and then told me no. I told her I was going to get it and she actually said, "Just don't wear it out with me, wear it to work." Where on earth do 9 year olds learn how to talk like that?

16 weeks

The week started with my first cervical length check. I was above average! Go me and my cervix! They want you to measure at 2.5 (I think that is cm) and I was at 3.91. So I have to say Aaron is reading this as I type and it making jokes about me not knowing. He said it could be feet and my response, "I would have a really big vagina." He is just being a bitter betty because he didn't hit big with Derby bets today. The Mine that Bird horse ruined all his bets. Poor baby =(

Okay, anywho since my cervix was measuring above average, I don't have to go back in for another cervical length check this coming week. I will have one on the 11th along with my growth scan!!! That's are BIG ultra sound.

At the scan this week, she actually did a quick look at the babies. They are just so cute, even though they look like monkey aliens, if monkeys were aliens that is:) I have a guess on what the ultra sound tech thinks they are, but I am not going to share until we have the Big ultra sound to confirm.

I don't really have much to report this week. It was pretty much the same as always. I have morning sickness and I am tired. I know there is only so much you want to hear about it;)

Oh, yeah during the cervical check you could see Baby A's head and hand, it was like she/he was just peaking in to wave "hi mom". Look they already love me sooooo much:) They better I give them a lot of ice cream and sweets. I think they are going to come out of the womb with a sugar addiction.

I have been feeling them a lot this week. It's very distracting when I am trying to work. I just want to focus on them and not work. I think it is the coolest weirdest feeling. I love it. Aaron is so jealous. I can't wait until he can feel them.

I went shopping today, I was with my big sis, niece and nephew. We were at a store and there was a girl who asked if I was on the knot. Of course I still hang out on the knot. She recognized from posting there. I didn't get her name, I should have, but I was still out of it. She is a reader of the blog. So lady at NY&Co, thanks for reading and please go to the GTG's they are a blast and you could meet some of your new best friends there. I have so many from the internet now. I even met a cousin who I might have never known anything about.

Here are week 16 pictures, they aren't that great, but I did them in the morning and I was in a hurry to get to work.
