Ok well I am a ding dong or I have severe pregnancy brain or even the combination of the 2. I thought I had posted on my first regular OB appt last week but I obviously haven't! Anyway, it went really well. I met with the nurse practitioner and she was awesome! She answered all of my questions (Ryan could not afford to miss another day of work so he wasn't there). The babies are good. She had a hard time finding both heartbeats. The babies are already ornary! You figure they have my whole uterus to move around in yet they were on the same side of my belly like a couple of inches apart! I say they were either cuddling or beating each other up already!! We didn't get an ultrasound she just used the doppler to get the heartbeats. Baby A's heart rate was 145 and B was 160. I also have to see a high-risk specialist just because they are twins, not because anything is wrong. The first visit I have with them is my big ultrasound that we will try to find out the sexes! I'm so excited. That will happen April 23 when I will be 18wks 5days. I have another regualr OB appt next Wed. to so some blood work and check the heartbeats again.
As for me, I am feeling 110% better. No more nausea. I actually have the opposite issue now; I can't get enough to eat!! I am constantly starving!! I try to eat healthy and I am doing a pretty good job of it, but pizza is my absolute favorite right now!! I am starting to gain the weight that I lost in my first trimester back so thats good. These babies are growing like crazy!! I also have a little baby belly now! It's cute! Ryan makes fun of me because when I laugh my whole belly shakes!! It is pretty funny! My uterus is also measuring a couple weeks ahead of schedule. I assume that is due to the fact there are 2 in there! Anyway, I will update more later. Possible (and I mean possible) belly pictures to follow.....

I still think it's great that you get to see your little ones so much. I can't wait for you to find out the genders! :) That is exciting. You're already in the best part of the pregnancy! I'm getting to hear my baby's heartbeat that day, so it must be a great day.
I look forward to seeing your baby belly on Monday!
