I've been going to the doctor every 2 weeks since I hit 20 weeks but still only have an ultrasound every 4 weeks. I will never get over how wonderful it is to see these babies growing. My summation of a twin pregnancy thus far is that it IS very different from a singleton. The main differences are the size of my belly and the constant movement of the babies in separate parts of my belly. I'm much more worn out at this point when usually I'm feeling fantastic at 25 weeks. I'm getting very uncomfortable at night and have to get up at least 2 times to pee! Jon's mom volunteered to buy me a maternity belt because she "doesn't want to see my belly dragging on the floor!" That tells you just how pregnant I look.
It is strange feeling "done" when I know I have three months to go. I'm anxious to be more comfortable again but LOVE being pregnant simply for the miracle of it. Plus, I'm not anxious for these girls to come out early. I want to avoid the NICU at all costs and if that means being immobile for the last few weeks and so uncomfortable that I can't sleep at all, I'll do it!
This was our first ultrasound where we didn't get to take home any pictures but the girls looked beautiful and are growing wonderfully. The doctor estimated Baby A to be 1lb 11oz and Baby B to be 1lb 10oz. Can't ask for better growth in twins!
I forgot to ask Jon to take a belly shot so we'll have to settle with a self-portrait. It doesn't exactly show the girth but it's what a see when I look down. ;)
