Elastic Waistbands are Heavenly!

I'm not really showing very much yet but my regular capri pants and shorts don't fit. I've been wearing stretchy gym shorts almost every day!
Yesterday, I decided it was time to get some nice maternity shorts or capris. I wasn't sure how I would feel about the big belly panel but trying them on, all I could say was "Ahhh." I didn't want to take them off and just stood in the dressing room for a few minutes. I ended up getting 2 pairs of bermuda shorts that I'll be able to wear during back-to-school week as well as during the first few weeks of school. I need to find some nice pants that I can wear through the fall and winter.
I never thought I would be so in love with elastic waistbands!

13 week Appointment

Kenny came with me today for my checkup. We heard the heartbeat of each twin. They weren't going to do an ultrasound, but since Kenny came, I asked if they could. It was so amazing to see both babies looking more like people! Facial features, arms and legs, spines and heartbeats were clear and easy to see. Baby B was sideways and then turned upward to face us. Baby A was below and it was a little harder to get a good picture.

Here's a good picture of Baby B with a hand near his/her face.



This is a close-up of Baby A. I think the head is on the left side of the picture looking up. Kenny thinks the head is on the right side. Hmmm...either way, everything looks good!

They are both measuring over 6 cm now (about 3 inches). It's crazy to think that at my very first ultrasound at 6 weeks, they were about 5 mm!

First Pregnancy "Belly Shot"

My sister-in-law, Katie, wanted to take a "belly photo" of me while we were in Georgia.

Two Heartbeats?

In April, I decided to visit the Reproductive Medicine and Surgery Center of Charlottesville, wondering if something was wrong and to see if there was a reason why I had not gotten pregnant. After some tests and a prescription, I had a positive test on May 15!



On June 1, Kenny and I went to Charlottesville to have an "early pregnancy scan". The doctor saw one heartbeat, moved the scope and saw a 2nd one! On June 8, there were definitely 2 heartbeats at a second ultrasound.
I visited a new doctor on June 17 where I was given a due date of January 27. The babies measured 8 weeks and 2 days.
