Well...the belly has been growing! Progress from 5 to 7 months.
This pregnancy has felt a lot like the first time in many ways. A twin pregnancy is a totally different ball game than a singleton. Take that word for example, "singleton." I didn't know that term until a few short months ago!
Our twins are referred to as Mono-Di short for a big long couple of words that had my husband geeking out in the doctor's office when we first found out. This means they are identical, they share a sac with a membrane separating them, and they also share a placenta. This also means they are at a higher risk for early delivery and low birth weight. So far, both have been growing nicely. I will be 30 weeks this week. At my last appointment, Baby A's little abdomen was measuring a few weeks behind schedule. I go back for another ultrasound the 20th to see if she has caught up. If not, there are steroid shots that I somehow get to enjoy. Worst case scenario, delivery. So any prayer warriors reading that I haven't shared this with yet...please get busy!!
Right now, I am measuring 40 weeks pregnant. It's a crazy feeling to be so big and still have a lot of time (hopefully) left. I've stopped getting the "you're not that big!" comments though.
