Baby update

So yesterday, I went in for a fetal scan. It's basically a really long ultrasound session where the tech takes a bunch of measurements of each baby and checks for some birth defects. It was really hard to understand her since she had a really thick accent, but here's what I know.

* The twins are definitely boys. This time their legs were spread wide open and there was no mistaking the frank and beans on each baby.

* One baby has a slightly bigger head than his brother but has a smaller chest.

* Both babies head sizes puts them at the right age, so their sizes are good.

* They are really rough on each other in my oven. One baby was kicking and dancing on the other's head, which we saw before, but this time the other baby was holding both arms in front of his face in defense. I guess it's a rough world in my belly, and they are already learning to defend themselves.

My next appointment with my doctor is Sept 2. She will go over the results of the ultrasound with me and do all the other normal checkups. The good news is that Javier will be able to go with me since he won't have school that day. From here on out, we'll have scheduled ultrasounds once a month. ..... We only have 3 more months to go!!

Speaking of 3 more months to go. I feel like that is right around the corner. It kinda makes me feel panicky and excited at the same time. My biggest hope is that I can carry the babies as close to term as possible. So far, things look good. My weight gain has been slow and steady. My blood pressure is good so far. My cervix is nice and long.

In other news, I'm still not done with the house. It's coming along slow and getting out of hand. Javier is really getting irritated by the lingering mess and has been encouraging me to get going. I really want to get it done no later than this coming week because I want to start getting the babies room ready. Oh, and I don't think I mentioned before, but we have decided what to do with the babies room. Javier has been calling our babies our little changos ( in spanish, it means monkeys) since we conceived, so we are going with a monkey theme. Our colors will be brown, blue and green. It's been so fun buying things for them. When I get unpacked and get their room put together, I will post pics.
