Tale of Two Karate Kids

Wax on, Wax Off...our little ones are regular karate kids! We went to meet with the specialist for the first time today and had an ultrasound (14 weeks and 2 days). It was amazing, but I think the coolest part of the experience was seeing how active our little ones are already. One of them literally did a flip...it was wild. The are definitely busy kicking and punching away, but I can't feel too much yet. We are pretty sure they will be fighting over space soon and if you have siblings you know this will continue for the rest of their/our lives. I can see the road trips now...Mom/Dad he's touching me! Oh the vacations we will have...










We don't know what we are having just yet, but we are 90% sure that Baby B is a boy...he was nice enough to flash us...hahaha! Baby A was a little more modest, but hopefully we will know when we go back on December 29th. From this point on we will go every 4 weeks for an ultrasound, so they can monitor the babies growth. Right now they are the same size weighing in at a whopping 1.06 oz and 1.08 oz...they are both roughly the size of lemons. It is funny to me that all of our books refer to the babies size starting out in the bean family and then moving through the produce section...not sure why this is.


Now moving on to belly shots...as promised attached is a weekly picture of me at 14 weeks and 1 day. Kane made me do a silly one, so you guys get to see me making an ass out of myself for his and your amusement. I have to say we are having a good time with this pregnancy...it is such a cool experience. I have gained a little weight since my last visit 2 weeks ago, but not too much. I am going to have to get over the fact that with twins I am going to be a whale or at least a giant beach ball! I will say that as predicted I was the most comfortable person on Thanksgiving day thanks to my fabulous maternity stretchy pants...this really should be a must for everyone during the holidays.























Well, I have probably rambled on long enough...I hope you all enjoy the pictures.
