So I must be pregnant-with twins. Last night after the kids were in bed and I was checking emails, I got the growlies. I ate well for dinner, but my tummy was EMPTY. I went to the fridge and cut up some watermelon, you know, enough to make regular people have to pee tons in 20 minutes, then I poured my first tall glass of milk, got some wheat thins and cottage cheese and went back to the computer. The food disappeared somewhere fast and I was back in the kitchen again for two plums and more milk. Then at bedtime, two hours later, I still had not peed and had since drinken a bottle of water. Woke up about 1:30 am and then tinkled in the toilet. I just laugh-so much of my weight gain in fluid it's not funny. I am pleased so far though. I can still fit my thighs and bottom into my regular jeans. So I figure it's all babies...

This is baby B, the boy. Same with this one, his head is the somewhat oval thing on the left laying sideways. Oh yeah, btw, the girl was closest to the cervix so the technician doing the ultrasound thought that she may be born first. We'll see...

I just figured out how to scan things onto the computer with my printer so I apologize for these ultrasounds being out of order. Just read the captions and you'll do fine... This is her head view, the somewhat oval shaped part on the left showing an eyesocket.

Here are both heads at 19 weeks. Notice how much of the picture they take up and compare with the ones at 26 weeks. Baby b, the boy is on the left and baby A, the girl is on the right.
This one I have to explain-see the butterfly looking thing in the middle of the picture? Well what would normally be the head of the butterfly is the penis which is also pointed at with the ultrasound mouse if you can see it.

This is her. You can see the line in the upper lefthand area-that shows the dividing line between the two sacs. Notice how much of the screen she takes up and compare with the 26 week pictures...

You can kind of see the little arrow/mouse pointing to the 'area'.
So we had our second ultrasound appt today. We got to see the two little guffers again, lots of fun. It turns out that the girl is on my left side and the boy is on the right. Right now they are both heads up. They were not shy during the 'photo shoot' and we again saw the boy/girl parts. The boy is a little bigger, but the girl is more active. Most of the movement I feel is on my left side, where she is. She was also poking and jabbing at the boy frequently during the whole visit, foot to his head, hand to his side, piledrive to the face, j/k, etc:) Heartbeats are both strong 140 to 157 respectively. We got some more good pictures to bring home. They are both about 2 lbs now and I am 26 weeks along! I feel like I was close to my due dates with the others and I still have at least 2 or so months to go. My next doctors appt is next wed, July 21.
