They look great!

I just returned from my doctor's appointment. Both babies look "perfect"! Baby A is measuring 1 pound 2 oz with a heart rate at 160 bpm and Baby B is exactly 1 pound with a heart rate at 150 bpm. They are so close. There is only the smallest little membrane separating these two buddies. They are both head down right now, right next to each other, in exactly the same position. Amazing!! The technician said that she is almost for certain they are identical twins. I still can't wrap my head around this. So crazy.

I was walking down the hall at church on Sunday with Nicholas and his car seat, Bro. Norman passed me and just started to giggle. He said "I am so anxious to see how this all works out in about 4 months." I had to laugh as well. It is all so overwhelming. My next appointment I go and see the specialist, the Perinatologist who will do a very in depth ultra sound to make sure all is well with both babies. My doctor told me that I should enjoy these next couple of weeks. He is not limiting my activities..YET! Were his words. He is also concerned with how far away we live from the hospital, on a good day it takes 45 minutes from my house to the hospital, that is with no traffic and no weather restrictions. He said that this is definitely something we will have to discuss in the near future!! He said that preterm labor is his biggest concern with me. My thoughts were" I have never dialated on my own and have always had to be induced late shouldn't that be in my favor?" He said No, that a twin pregnancy is a whole different ball game. He did say that at my next appointment we can fill out the paperwork for a temporary handicap license plate. That will be so great for the holiday season. Each appointment gets more interesting. I am just so relieved to see these two little boys and to see them developing normally and healthy!!!
Life is Good!
