My 18 Week Appointment

I'm 4 months pregnant now and even though I'm only 18 weeks along I measure with the twins as though I'm 27 weeks along, crazy! My midwife showed me some pictures of women pregnant at full term with their twins and they were huge! I'm nervous to see how big I'll get. My aunt went full term and had two 8lbs. baby girls. We had our ultrasound to see what they are and Baby A is a GIRL and Baby B is a BOY! We are all excited this is what I was hoping for, but I was thinking they were two girls. I just think this way is the easiest way to raise twins, less competition and others won't compare them as much. It was very hard to see the babies sex in the ultrasound because there are so many more limbs kicking around. It's so neat to see two babies in an ultrasound I think I want to go and get a video of them because it is so crazy! My midwife also said I might want a second opinion because it really is much harder to tell. We have decided that the girl will be named Daisy Marian (Marian after my grandma who is also a girl boy twin) and the boy to be Walt Denmark (Denmark after Danny's grandpa). This is the picture of the ultrasound if you can tell what is going on...Baby A, her head is on the left and her legs open from the side like this < and nothing is hanging (we are looking at her backside). Then Baby B, all you see in this picture is his legs opened at the top left corner and his looks like an upside down u and you can see a little something hanging from the middle, not the smudge coming out of his leg(this is also his backside). This is me pregnant with twins at 4 months along. This is me pregnant normally at 4 months along. (I hate that I was sticking me tongue out, but this it the only picture I have at 4 months pregnant).

You look so cute pregnant :) I'm glad you got the boy-girl combination you wanted. If it was me though, I'd want two identical twin boys :) I love boys, the more the merrier :)

That is so fun that you are having a girl and a boy. Glad all 3 of you are doing well. Hopefully your sleep has improved since you were having trouble with that earlier. Take care!

How exciting to get a boy and a girl. You look so great! Those ultra sound picutes are really good. Sometimes they are so hard to see, but I could totally see what you were explaining.
