I had my second ultrasound today at 8w6d. We saw twin A and B moving around a lot today... we also saw arms and legs today and brain ventricles. They have grown so much over the last 2 weeks... wow! Both heatbeats are 170 now. We have graduated now from our RE and just waiting to get into the OB/GYN. This is real now!

First, YAY!! for your U/S, and squirming, moving, arms legs and brains. that is soooo awesome. I'm so excited for you. Yup- it's real mama!!!
And as for the twins- they were teeny tiny. well, Baby A (the boy) was 5lb7 oz. actually bigger than his 3yo big sister when she was born at 4lb10oz at 35 weeks. baby B, (the girl) was 3lb 1 oz. BUT, they are both breathing on their own, totally good growth and weight gain, and, BOTH CAN NURSE!!!! I cried for joy when my sister told me that. actually, i'm welling up now. Those little babes have to spend all of their time in the special care nursery, and the nurses only "let" them out of their special warming beds to eat. so, i'm just SO delighted that they can bond with their mommy by nursing. Little Girl uses a lot of energy nursing (too much for her size), so she gets a boob session, then finishes with a feeding tube push, but still... she CAN eat on her own. and I am just so proud of my sister- the docs and nurses kept saying, "we're going to have to supplement with formula." like it was not an option, and she stood firm, and INSISTED that they get only pumped or expressed BM if they're not nursing. finally, they got it that she would not budge on that point. those little babies are lucky to have a mommy who will fight for them like that.
OK, i'm about to cry- so on to other things. It's supposed to be hot this weekend. a good taste of what it will be like this summer when i'm huge.
belly's really here and getting bigger every day it seems! movements are pretty consistent, but there are still times that she doesnt move a lot, and i get nervous of course. but then i just poke around, and she wakes up. I WON'T be doing that when she's out in the world, by then I'll need sleep.
well, that was just stream of consciousness there... sorry.
Lyndzies- can't WAIT to hear your update!!!!!!!!!
YYYM - I hope you're packing and not reading here. good luck with the move, and congratulations!!
and finally,
Tear-
. I'm thinking of you. And I'm mad and sad with you. I really dont know how many times one can go through this cycle of optimism, excitement, true hope, and disappointment. my heart is breaking with you. (in response to your post on the BSL Proper)... you are so strong. so so strong.

Congratulations, Mae!!!
