I felt movement on the outside this week!!! I called Hubby over, and he felt it as well. They aren't super hard kicks, but they are definitely kickin'. Hubby was excited to feel the movement. I'm excited for him to bond with them like I have.
I can feel them moving every time I eat now! Or when I get hungry, they are like "FEED ME!". I am starting to drink a glass of milk every day, so that I can keep up with calcium requirements. I missed a couple of glasses, and got really bad leg cramps. I guess I need it.

Week 19
I'm doing well, and starting to look into maternity leave, classes, etc.
Hubby got a lot of gift cards from work, so we went and bought some "boy" things for the room.
My belly is about at 40", and I've gained about 25 lbs (hope it starts to slow a little). ;)
We also have picked out names: Isaac Bryce and Hunter Chase.

Week 18 - We found out!
We found out what we are having! We are having 2 boys!!!! Dustin and my dad were so excited!!! Dustin has already started painting the room a football theme, complete with a goal post.
I was happy that they were both measuring accurately, and looked really healthy. I didn't care whether they were boys or girls, as long as they are healthy.
HOWEVER, boys in my family are 100% more mischievious, so I know I will have my hands full! ;)

Week 17
The babies' movement is getting stronger and more frequent. They are definitely NOT on the same schedule. I grew 1.5" in 4 days while I was home for Christmas. Crazy!
Week 16
I felt the babies for the first time this week!! It felt like a small tapping or muscle spasms inside my stomach.
Weeks 14-15
Still feeling fine, but not feeling any movement yet. I figured I'd feel it sooner, since there are two of them in there. Starting to get anxious to find out if they are boys or girls.
Week 13
It is now after Thanksgiving, and I popped out a LOT in just 1 week. I can Definitely tell it is the babies this time. :) And ovaries are getting smaller.
I had a nucle translucency to check for chromosomal abnormalities, and everything came back fine. Babies showing a lot of punching activities in the sonogram. Dustin swears they are boys.

Week 11
Starting to show a little bit (I think). It is hard to tell, since my midsection was already pooched out due to big ovaries. But I think I can tell a little difference this week.
Week 10
I am now fully recovered from the surgery and doing well. I can see lots of movement in the sonograms!!!!
Week 9
On Halloween, I woke up with a severe ovarian torsion on my left ovary. It was the worst pain I've ever experienced in my life - Pain was at a 10. Hubby rushed me to the hospital, and they put me in emergency surgery.
My mom came down to be with us during this time. It was fabulous, since she is a nurse. She was able to help take care of me.
My ovary was twisted 1.5 times. Sonograms confirmed that we had lost baby C - no more heartbeat. We know God has a plan for us. Although we will always miss and wonder what it would have been like if baby C would have made it, God was with us throughout.
The twins are still doing fabulous, and we even saw them doing flips. We know they must be really strong.
I didn't really need too many pain meds, but had a small fever as a result of my lungs collapsed from the surgery.

Week 8
Babies are doing well, and heartbeats are all strong. Baby C's sac still a little small.
I have started going to a high risk doctor this week. The office is really nice. They have a projection on the wall, so you can see everything very large.
There is a confirmed membrane between Baby A and B (identical ones). That is a very good sign.

Weeks 5-8
Suffering from severe hyperstimulation due to fertility meds. I am retaining a lot of water, hard to breathe and walk, and extremely unconfortable.
I am drinking a lot of gatorade, and am basically sick of it at this point.
They drained almost 2000 cc's from me at the end of week 8, but it went right back. Praying for end to this stage.

Wonder what that means?
