16 weeks!!!

So I haven't posted in awhile and my belly has been growing in the meantime. I've gained 8 pounds and started to feel some movement.  I have an appointment tomorrow for another ultrasound. I am hoping they can tell me the sex of the lil monkeys.  If they cant tell at this appointment I can find out at 18 weeks. Don't know if we can wait that long.  Finding out we were having twins was the biggest surprise!!!!  I also found out that I cant really have a doula in the delivery room because it will take place in the operating room.  Oh well. I'm learning to be flexible and not to be bossed around at the same time. A happy medium. Til next post.........

BABY A & BABY B

So at 13 weeks I went in for a nuchal fold screening which came out just fine.  Both babies look good and healthy.  Baby B is bigger than baby A but I was told it was not a concern at the time.  The scary alien picture is of baby B and the profile shot is baby A.  It was very cool to watch them kick around in there.  Still amazed that there are two lil bugs in there.  Mia has been telling everyone that Mommy has two babies in there as she points to my belly.  I have given up on the home birth plan and I am going to deliver at Mt. Sinai as naturally and drug free as possible.  On the hunt for a toughie doula who can be a strong voice in the operating room.  Standard procedure to be in the operating room when delivering twins.  Not too fond of that part but oh well!!!  Next OB/Gyn appointment is next week and hopefully I can talk to Dr. Tang more about my desire for a natural birth.  I'll post a picture of my growing belly next post.
