And the BABIES are.....

Well yesterday was a good day. I had my first appointment with my high risk Dr and when I hear high risk it makes me nervous. With that being said Id say it went PERFECT. We were told that both babies weigh in at 8oz, their heart rates were both 155bpm and that they were messuring the same. Most importantly he said they were healthy and no complications with the babies. So the exciting part is that they are BOYS!!!! We just wanted healthy babies and we got that news and to find out they are boys is awesome too. Justin wanted one to be a girl so he could have another daddies little girl, but he is greatful that these boys are healthy. I go back to my regular Dr every 2 weeks now and then will see the high risk Dr again (as long as everything stays ok) in 6 weeks and I will be 24 weeks.

Heres a little pregnancy catch up for 18 weeks:

Weight gain: Well this is something Im trying not to panic about cause I need to grow 2 babies. Ive gained around 15 pounds so far and Dr is very happy with that!

Maternity Clothes: Yes!!! My Dr said I need to always messure at least 6 weeks ahead so Im 18 weeks and messuring 24.

Sleep: Well Ive always been one to sleep on my side, but for some reason Its not comfortable anymore. I actually would rather sleep on my back now and I will for a while, but then the babies start to squish me. I also get up 2 to 3 times to go to the bathroom.

Gender: 2 BOYS!!!!

Belly Button: Is streched flat! lol

What I miss: Id say not having acid relux and to be able not to gag at random smells or when I cough.

What I am looking froward to: So much!!!

My baby shower. I dont know if I will have one or not.

Milestone: We found out the gender so can start on their room and Im at my half way mark it I make it to my 37 week c section!

Size of baby: Well they told us they are as long as a dollar and weigh in at 8oz! They said the next 4 weeks was going to be a HUGE growth spirt for them.

We are very thrilled to finally know they are boys and that God gave us 2 more precious children to raise. We dont know about names yet. We have several we have thrown up to eat other, but If I like one and Justin likes on then he says well you name one and I will name the other and I just dont know about that.

I will update soon!

pEaCe LoVe and BABIES!!!!
