Baby Pictures, get used to em'!

Ultrasound numero dos was on June 28. Both babes are looking great with strong heartbeats. I was considered 7 weeks 5 days and Baby A measured exactly that. Baby B measured 7w6d. These two are growing like wildfire, I tell you!

Two little monkeys jumping on the bed...er, in mommies uterus

Yes, that's right folks: TWO! Yesterday (June 20) was our first ultrasound at 6 weeks 5 days. It was beautiful and breathtaking seeing two little tiny persons with two big huge heartbeats. Baby A is buried in farther back so we couldn't hear it's heartbeat, but we say it pumping away like mad. Baby B's heart was heard loud and clear! Victor and I just sat there in awe for most of the time, not really saying anything. At the end, the Doctor says, "So, um, are you going to celebrate now?". We both just sat there staring at our perfect little ultrasound picture and said, "Er, maybe". IT'S STILL SCARY, MR. DOC, LEAVE US BE!

Our due date is February 8 but no one expects me to make it that far. The Doctor told us to expect anytime around Christmas. Normal twin gestational period is 35 weeks instead of the normal 40 for a singleton. I'm going to do whatever I can to keep these munchkins in for as long as possible. If I have to lay in bed and pee in a pan for 6 months, I'll do it! There is nothing more important than the health of these two and I will make every sacrifice known to man to assure their safety.

Check out my babes, yo's:

I'm not going back, DAMNIT!

I'm pregnant and that's it. I'm not going back to that non-pregnant stuff from before. I have been begging God, the Universe, whoever will listen, to PLEASE let this/these embryo(s) grow and be safe and healthy. Hell, I'll even take semi healthy. What, you want me to spend some time in the NICU with a baby who can't breathe on it's own? I'LL TAKE IT! But I am not loosing this pregnancy. Not. Not. Not.

HEY! Let's talk about pregnancy things. FUN! So I'm 5 weeks pregnant. 5 WEEKS!!! Holy hell that is so exciting. I have to wait two whole weeks to hear a heartbeat and/or see the filled-with-baby sac. That seems like such a long wait and I am constantly thinking about how far away it is. During my two week wait I plan to rub my tummy and smile constantly.

Speaking of tummy, mine is huge. I'm bloated like you would not believe. What, don't believe me? Here's proof:

*Sorry about the picture quality but taking a picture of your own tummy is a difficult angle.

But seriously, are you freaking kidding me? I am 5 weeks pregnant and can't fit in ANYTHING. I feel like I could easily explode at any moment. I just read today that I should avoid salty foods...Done. Don't get me wrong, I love this early showing, but I'm not ready for random people to know yet. This belly makes that slightly difficult. People definitly have noticed my "weight gain". A friend at work who knows what we are going through told me I was fat yesterday...in a joking manner obvioulsy. But he definitely noticed that bulge I've got going on, which means others have noticed it too.

But serioulsy...I'M PREGNANT FOR REAL!!!!
