Avery and Addison

We are so excited to announce we are having TWO GIRLS!  The doctor said Avery and Addison looked super healthy! The specialist said we will start having monthly sonograms to make sure the babies are still growing and one is not stealing the nutrients from the other.  He was unsure if there were two placentas or just one.  I am hoping there are two placentas because then we woudn't have to worry about one baby taking the nutrients from the other.

Coming Soon!

In two short weeks we will be finding out the sex of our babies!!!  On March 15th, I have a "Level 2" sono with a specialist to make sure the babies are progressing the way they should be.  SO I should be finding out the sex since I will be 17 weeks.  We are so anxious to find out!  Of course I would be happy with boys or girls as long as they are healthy but I would LOVE to have a little girl!  Marcus would be happy with either one.  We have already decided on names...they could change but as of right now this is what we like.  For two boys: Cade and Eli.  For two girls: Addison and Avery.  And for a boy and girl (cross your fingers): Cade and Avery. I had my 12 week sono not too long ago.  It was so amazing seeing how much the babies have grown.  They actually looked like babies!!  They were moving around, sucking their thumbs, it was so neat to see.  The sono guy said that Baby A looked like it may be a boy!  He said it was too early to be sure but we definitely saw something.  Baby A was very relaxed during the whole sonogram (more like me).  Baby B was squirming around the whole time (like my husband).  I can already tell they are going to have two very different personalities.  : )  I met with my doctor at 14 weeks for my monthly check up and to ask any questions I might have.  He said he was very pleased with how everything was progressing.  He explained that we are very lucky because the babies appear to have two placentas and two sacs...which is the best for twins.  His only concern right now is going into premature labor.  He said the best thing for me to do is to stay off my feet as much as possible...I can do that! He told me that I will be having a cesarean at least two weeks before my due date, which is August 23rd, if  "I make it that long".  He said there is too much of a risk having twins naturally.  I am completely okay with having a cesarean...especially if it helps my sweet babies.
