I can't get over this giddy feeling. I'm going to be a true mom in less than two months!!!! It just makes me smile and I can't stop! I'm truly just excited at this time. Sure there are things to get done before they get here, but I want my girls here so bad. I just want to see their precious faces and hold them, cuddle them, love on them!!! 55 days til my scheduled c-section. It sounds so short, yet so long at the same time!!! Oh the anticipation is going to drive me crazy!!!!

Ok, so doctor appoint was great today. My sissy, Erika, came with me for this one! We went to the specialist so it was a full out ultrasound measuring and checking on EVERYTHING!!! We measured head, stomach, leg, arm, checked kidneys, heart and heartbeats, bladder, and even the umbilical cord blood flow. And everything was great.

When the tech did her ultrasound, she came up with the estimated weights of 3lbs 14 ounces and 3 lbs 1 ounce. Which is the reason we were back at the specialist in the first place, their size differences. I asked why they would be like that and she came up with the usual: A is eating more, getting more food, B is just going to be smaller, or there could be something with the umbilical cord. Well this made me a bit nervous. So that is when she checked the umbilical cords for both of them and after B was being her stubborn self, and blocking the cord with her feet and hands the tech finally got a good read of it and said it looked great. WHEW, there was a sigh of relief!!! She then said she was going to take the measurements she got and put them in the more "updated" computer in the other room and the weights may change a bit. My thought of this, why wouldn't they have the "updated" computers in the rooms they actually do ultrasounds in???? Oh well...

The doctor came in next and did quick measurements for herself, and she too left to put her measurements in the other computer. When she came back she said everything is looking wonderful and that the newer computer shows their weights being 3lbs 14ozs and 3lbs 6ozs!!!! So that is wonderful news!!! They said that there is no need for concern with that size difference. She also said that both look extremely healthy as everything is developing perfectly and they are moving around like crazy. And they are!!! Just going to town in my belly, but I love it when I feel them. It gives me that sense of relief that everything is good and they are doing well!!!

Oh and another thing that we got to hear, was them practicing their breathing!!! Isn't that wonderful???? Just to hear them taking those breaths, just shows even more that they are going to be here in just a little bit!!!!!!!

The last news about the appointment that I have to share, is that BABY GIRL B is no longer breech at this time. The tech asked me which one was breech and before I could answer she said, well whichever it was, she's not anymore, and then showed us both of their heads right next to each other!!! So what does this mean exactly??? Well if she's made a complete flip within two weeks since the last appointment, I'm pretty sure there's a possiblity that she has the ability to flip back up again. We will just have to wait and see as time progresses if she will stay down or decide to flip back over again.

What's funny about this is that over the past couple days Baby B, on the right, has been sticking out. My stomach was lopsided for a couple days. So much so that Josh even noticed it without me saying anything. I thought to myself, that there was a possiblity that she was flipping over, but apparently didn't mention this to anyone. But I guess I was right!!

So things are going great here, and just wanting them to be here now! I know there isn't much longer to go, but man I am totally just ready to see those beautiful face of our girls!!!

I go back to my regular doctor next Friday. Then he said that I would start my 2 week appointments, and I go back to the specialist in a month. Other than that, there isn't much going on around here. I am just going to be relaxing tomorrow!! So I'm pretty excited about that!!! Then waiting to see what things Josh has planned for the weekend. Hmmm, I guess I need to decide what to get him for anniversary/father's day... Any suggestions?????
