Halfway There!

19 weeks down, hopefully at least 19 to go :) Something tells me the second half of this pregnancy won't be as easy or as quick as the first half! We had our "big" ultrasound and did not find out the sex of the babies - we're hoping we can keep it a surprise, although it was very tempting. And, with an ultrasound every 4 weeks this time around, our willpower will be tested!


So, although we don't have any gender news, we know the babies are absolutely perfect and are growing right on track. Baby A weighs 9 ounces and Baby B weighs 11 ounces. When I picked up the girls at Sara's house after the appointment, she was quick to tell me that Baby B reminds her of someone else. When Sara and I were in utero, we were nicknamed Sooner (Baby A - Sara) and Boomer (Baby B - me), and I weighed in almost a pound heavier than Sara at birth. Not sure about the specifics here, but apparently Sooner has not forgotten!


In other related news, apparently I'm carrying around a little more baby weight than I thought. While I was lying flat on my back during the ultrasound, the weight of the babies pushed down so much on the blood vessel returning blood to my brain that I started to get really hot and nauseous, and actually blacked out for a little bit before I realized what was going on. After a lot of water and changing position, we got back to getting some amazing pictures. Enjoy!
