Baby Bump

The babies aren't the only ones growing!!!  I went through a pretty big growth spurt between weeks 18 and 22.  This is the part that I'm not so wild about.  The bigger I get the more uncomfortable I am.  It will all be worth it when we can hold our sweet little girls though.

22 Weeks Ultrasounds

We saw Dr. Newman on 9/19 (22 weeks).  The babies are growing!!!  They both weigh exactly the same - 1 pound, 2 ounces.  Dr. Newman says that everything looks great.  I will go back to see her in 4 weeks then after that visit I will start going every 2 weeks.

The girls have NAMES!!!!!!

The big question these days is......so, do you have names for the girls?  FINALLY, YES WE DO!!!  After weeks of talking about it we have decided on Laurel Kate and Clara Jane.  We are so excited about them!!  Laurel and Clara will be here before we know it!

18.5 Week Ultrasound

Heath and I had an appointment with Dr. Newman (my regular OB).  The babies are growing so fast!  The ultrasound went great!  They were able to confirm that we are having 2 girls.  They measured arms, legs, head, heart, etc.  Everything looks great so far.  The babies have gained a little weight in the past few weeks!!  When we went to the High Risk doctor at 15 weeks they both weighed 4 oz.  Today one weighed 10 oz and the other was 9 oz.  They said that is a couple of days ahead of where they should be, but nothing to worry about.  They would rather them be a little farther ahead than behind in weight. 

I have now gained 11 pounds.  My "bump" is just now really starting to show.  :)  We have decided to cut back on my trips to the High Risk doctor because everything seems to be progressing so well.  So, I have my next appointment with Dr. Newman in 4 weeks.  Time is going by so fast and we have so much to do before these little girls get here.
