We are still "camping" over here... Did I mention I abhor camping? Still no a/c or hot water, boo! The a/c guy is coming tomorrow and hopefully will be able to get things going again, though I think we had to wait for parts the last time this happened. Really wishing we had non-giant, non-slider windows, so at least we could get a window unit. The water heater guy came today, since we couldn't get the pilot light lit again ourselves this time, and he suggested just getting a new system. Big boo! DH is determined to see if once it dries out a bit more we can get it lit, but I'm not overly optimistic. DH's office is closed from the storm flooding their electrical system, so he's working from home for the foreseeable future. Oh well, on to much more exciting news...
We had our ~16 week u/s today and the babies look great! We got some really good views, it was a nice long u/s, and got some ok pics. Both of them are measuring perfectly!
Baby A, who is clearly a boy, is measuring 16w1d by composite, as now that we are in the 2nd tri they don't measure the length, they do measurements of the head, abdomen, and femur bone. His HB is 150 BPM and he weighs ~ 5oz. Baby A, who looks to be a girl (she was >90% sure), is measuring right on track at 15w4d. Her HB is 158 BPM and she weighs ~ 4oz. It's still early, but both babies are breech right now. She also did a color mapping of the cords and they looked good too. We think it's possible that they are calling what has been baby A baby B and vice versa, not that it really matters. I thought Baby A (now B) had been on my right and is now up under my belly button and baby B (now A) is still down on my left.
Both babies are very active, I've been feeling them for weeks. I call them my wiggleworms because they are always moving.
At the big weigh in, I was disappointed that the pounds I thought I had gained, were apparently transient weight. :( The OB I saw, I'm rotating as recommended with my check-ups, was not concerned since the babies are looking good. She said the weight will come. DH is still threatening pound cake therapy and I'm actually looking forward to putting on few, though I really feel like I already have. Oh well, I'll just keep focus on eating healthily and hope to up in a few more weeks.
Sorry the pics aren't great...
Baby A = BOY!
Baby boy's face
Baby B = Girl!
She waves hello (and goodbye!)
