24 weeks!

Wow, time flies!

I had my 24 week ultrasound appt. today. I brought my mom with me this time since Tim was at work. It went really well. Babies are growing perfectly. Each weighing a pound and a half and right on track. Moving around like crazy and posing for more pics!

Ultrasound tech: Did you come up with names yet?

Me: Nope. Tim doesn't like anything

Ultrasound tech: Still? Haha.

Then she told my mom the story of when she told us we were having twins. She remembered our shock and also the shock of finding out they are 2 boys. I love that she remembers us! My mom was pretty excited to see them in action. I think she cried; I know I did. She already thinks they are cute!

We got to see one of the babies open it's mouth and swallow. It's so bizarre.

Me: Tim thinks it's gross that they swallow the amniotic fluid

Ultrasound tech: Tell Tim that he did it too. Every baby does.

Me: I did and I told him that's how they learn to swallow.

Ultrasound tech: Does Tim know they are also swallowing baby urine?

Me: Um, NO. I don't share that much with him. He doesn't need to know :) You should have seen his reaction to the vaginal discharge section of the book. HA!

She laughed, of course :)

  1. 24 weeks is a HUGE milestone... Glad to hear everything is going well. I think every man is grossed out by the whole babies swallowing amniotic fluid in utero thing! Don't worry, Tim will be grossed out by more once the babies arrive:)

  2. Men can be so weak about the whole prego and birth thing. Congrats on 24 weeks! I made it to 36w4d, and when you think time is dragging on...it usually is, but then you recall how fast the whole pregnancy went.
