Right after we found out we were having twins, I told my husband that I thought there were two girls in there. Then I started wavering thinking that there may be a boy. I think I was hoping that there would be a boy in there for Grandpa's sake. :)
We found out at my 17 week appointment that Baby A was a GIRL! Then came Baby B's turn, and Baby B was not opening those legs! Oh well, we knew we would find out soon enough....
Yesterday I had my 20 week anatomy scan. 45 minutes of someone pressing on your belly with an ultrasound wand is a lot. I was sore, but appreciative to see my two favorite twins again. :) Of course, both twins had to be stubborn (hmm...must take after mom :-)) and we weren't able to get all the measurements, but that's ok. We at least get to see them again in four weeks!
She confirmed that Baby A is still, in fact, a girl! Thankfully, Baby B was a little bit more cooperative with letting us find out the gender this time. The tech went between B's legs, and said "I know what B is". I looked and immediately knew as well. It looks like we'll have two little princesses on our hands in a few months! Kevin already is planning a trip to the princess tea at the Grand Floridian! (....and I think I saw a few grey hairs pop up on poor Kevin's head after she confirmed our two girls!) But, we couldn't be happier!
Short update on mama: I'm actually doing pretty well recently. I have FINALLY gotten over the morning sickness! Yay! I still have definite food aversions...(ummm...chicken = nasty). But, at least I can tolerate more than bagels and spaghettio's! I also am feeling much better after finally kicking the nasty head cold I had over Christmas, my birthday, and New Years. I'm just crossing my fingers that I have a healthy next 16-18 weeks!
Thought I would post some pics of my progression. We took pictures at 5, 10, 15, 19, and 20 weeks. I will not be posting pic 19...because I'm slightly vain...and I look like poo. But, there is a HUGE difference between weeks 15 and 20. I think we are going to start taking pictures every week now. My belly is definitely starting to take over! I'm just happy the twinnies seem to be growing well!

Wow, you SAID there was a big difference! I can't believe you're already halfway there - just think, in 20 more weeks (or less!) you'll be holding your daughters in your arms.
Please continue posting the pics, as well as pics of the nursery. Hope it's a good sized room - big enough for two cribs at least!
So glad you're feeling better. The first time I ever had pneumonia I was pregnant - talk about miserable! I'm just getting over the flu mysef.
I think about you even you're not posting, but glad to hear you're up to it again. More pictures, PLEASE!
Oh, by the way, I've already checked into buying children's 10-day park hoppers with no expiration - I figure by the time they'll need them they'll cost an arm and a leg more - through Undercovertourist with the Mousesavers discount, they're $501. I'm trying to talk Fred into it, but he thinks I'm crazy...
Thank you!! I can't believe your daughter is due in July. How fun! Make sure you post lots of updates on her as well!!!
I will have to let Kev know about the park-hoppers. We are pretty much set on taking our first trip with the girls September or October of 2012! Most likely October so we can go to the Food and Wine festival. I believe they'll still be free at that point! :)
ethelmae! what a great idea!
sorry...anything involving WDW - especially now that Marion and I will have twins to take with us - is just fantastic. :)
