So I went to the doctor today. Found out we are having two girls, instead of one of each. I am kind of still processing it a little bit. On one hand I am sad because I really wanted a boy and a girl, but on the other hand I am excited about having two of the same sex--things will be much easier. I can like girl-ify everything (if I want) plus we are already so well equipped for girls it's craziness.
There is a sadness though. Not like, OH GOD NOT TWO GIRLS kind of sad, just like...a bit of a loss or something. I don't know.
In the end I honestly don't really care that much, I am just thankful for two healthy babies and I can not wait to meet them.
Today I am officially six months pregnant. I've gained approximately 20 pounds since I first got pregnant, and they say I will probably gain 40 total. Wow. 40 freakin' pounds. Although if I am lucky and they go to full term they could be about 7lbs each, which is 14 lbs of baby, not including all the other crap that is in there. Awe, that just reminded me we saw one of them yawn today. And 'baby B' was sitting on "Baby A's" head. lmao. I find that hilarious. They both weigh just over 1 lb, like 1.1 lbs and 1.2 lbs. Perfectly healthy baby GIRLS! lol. You know what else, I could see them kicking and actually feel it at the same time. I was like...ooooooh I feel that one, and that one. We saw their little feet and toes. Actually we saw all of their organs too--kidneys, liver, heart, lungs, etc. Both of their blatters were full. haha. It's pretty amazing what you can see in an ultrasound.
Today's ultrasound was much better than any of my previous ones because the doc really knew what was what. We saw the OBGYN and the midwife today, normally we see the midwife only. I have to have ultrasounds by him more regularly now since I am getting further along. And in a month I get tested for gestational diabetes. I am kind of worried about that. I don't really have a reason to be nervous necessarily, but I am. I don't want to have diabetes.
Oh I was also really happy to hear that I can totally have the type of birth I want, if everything goes normally that is. He said most of the time the first twin is head first, and if it is and there is no distress or anything bad going on there is no reason I can't have the exact kind of birth I want. Also, they aren't going to keep me on a monitor 24/7 while I am birthing, so I'll be able to walk around and stuff while I'm in labor. That is really important to me. They do monitor, but I don't have to be strapped to a monitor the whole time. I really like my actual doctor, he was gentle and very much made you feel secure. He knew exactly what he was talking about and answered all of my questions, and was very open to whatever I wanted to do at the same time assuring me that mine and the babies health were most important to him. So. It was a good appointment.
Twin girls. That is crazy. Poor Chris, hopefully he will get lucky and one of them will be really into sports like he is. Go Gators!
