16 Weeks Pregnant With Twins

Well.....actually 16 weeks and 4 day pregnant with twins.  This is my first post about the twin pregnancy and I feel pretty comfortable sharing about it now.  We went back to the doctor yesterday and had another quick ultra sound.  Both babies had heart rates around 146 bpm.  Our doctor said that both babies are measuring 11 or so centimeters (head to rump) and both looked great.  Baby A didn't want to be seen very much and was snuggled up to my stomach, but Baby B was full frontal!!!  He check for gender, but couldn't tell anything.  We are scheduled to go for our Anatomy Scan and 4d Ultrasound on January 22, 2016.  We are soooo excited!

Gender/Names:  We find out in 17 days!!!  The countdown is on!  I had a boy/girl dream this weekend, and previously I have a boy/boy dream.....

Sleep: So far so good.  I'm sleeping anywhere from 8-9 hours a night.

Food Cravings:  Fresh fruit, cereal, WATER, candy, and fresh veggies.

Food Aversions: Fish.....not good!

Symptoms: I've been extremely tired and achy the past two days.  We just started back at work after the Christmas holiday, so that explains some of the fatigue.  It will take me a week or two to get back into the swing of waking up at 5:30 am!  My lower back is still hurting, but a massage does tend to help.

Movement:  I haven't felt much movement yet.  I feel little tingles and flutters every now and then.  I can't wait to feel the real thing!
