Busy Banana's

Lots of activity these days for the bananas! They were 12 oz at last weeks appointment and had identical heartbeats at 153/minute. I thought I had it figured out where A and B were but ironically I was total off. Baby A is on my left side and the closest to the equator, and Baby B is up a little higher and on my right side. There are periodically boxing matches, small jabs in the middle of my belly. Yesterday will resting on the couch with my hand laying on my belly I got he biggest one of all, it actually made the palm of my hand raise up briefly. so it must have been a two foot thrust. I was surprise to hear from the ultrasound person they they still have plenty of room to move, and are doing 180's. The movement is very cool!
Bill can't wait for my belly button to pop out, and I don't think it will be to long!
A quick update on our little girl, Lily. She is getting better everyday! She is perky now and started to squeak a new toy yesterday. She sits up with confidence and has a new love of looking to the moon and having her whole neck rubbed. We have started taking her for short walks up the street multiple times a day. Seems to help her get over the stiffness and get those muscles back from atrophy. Lily is loving getting out of the house, and like any of us, when healing, just small outings wear her out.
We hope to hear from CSU about the bone decalification tomorrow or Wednesday, so we can make a plan for the next step.


Both of us will continue to see the doctor more often, I start going every two weeks to the Doctor. So next Monday I am back for a 22 week check up to measure the size of my belly and to listen to the heartbeats. The ultrasounds will remain on a 4 week schedule with the next one at 24 weeks. For the record, compared to a prego of a singleton, at 16 weeks I measured 24 weeks and at 20 weeks I measured at 26 weeks. Supposedly, I will be blowing the charts...so I better get a snack (something healthy of course)!
