Yay for 10 weeks! Yay for great specialist appointment!
The babies are the size of kumquats this week. This is now the "fetal" period and the babies are done with the most crucial part of their development. Their kidneys, intestines, liver and brain are in place and functioning!
At my specialist appointment I met the. hottest. man. on. the. earth. I swear he is gorgeous. The appointment went great! The babies are measuring right on track and they have awesome heartbeats! I don't have to see him again for a month. I have an appointment on March 7th (my birthday!) but for now I'll be seeing my OB unless he finds something that makes him want me to see the specialist. Keeping our fingers crossed that we won't have to see him!
Now comes the dilemma on when we let the cat out of the bag. I really want to tell our immediate family in person but since they live 4 hours away that'll be difficult. I'm thinking about taking a couple days off next week and going up there to visit. So that could be an option. Plus we have to figure out how we're going to tell them. Do we just say "I'm pregnant! With twins!"? I kind of want to surprise them. I'll have to google!
First off Congrats!! Twins are a wild ride and welcome to it. I have twin girls who are now 30 months. Reading all your post, all the feelings are completly normal. I promise the motherly instincts will kick in once the babies are born and you will know exactly what they need. Dont be afraid of labor because everything that you worry about (ie epdural, what your v does, or everyone seeing your everythings) will not matter in that moment. I was blessed to get to 36wks2days with my girls and delivered them both vaginaly. Really no complications except for preterm labor at 33 weeks that they were able to stop.
ReplyDeleteHave fun telling the family about the twins and once you find out the sexes. Thats the best part. Enjoy!
