Body Pillows, Bellies, and Babies

Based on a few recommendations I purchased a body pillow to aid with my sleeping comfort. It IS comfy, however, I did not realize we would also need a king size bed to accomodate this third person! I actually have to tuck this thing in at night - get it all under the covers and situated before I can get in. Mike asked why I can't snuggle with him to get comfortable - he's just not squishy enough! Sometimes during the day when I walk past our bedroom and out of the corner of my eye see the bed, it freaks me out that there's someone in it!

My belly is growing bit by bit, and I guess I'm noticeably pregnant, but I'm still a bit surprised that some brave souls are already asking if I'm pregnant, etc. I don't dare ask someone even if it's super obvious! You just never know. At this point I think I could still pass for just needing to go on a diet. If I thought I could pull it off, next time someone asks I would say that I'm not pregnant just to see how they handle that, but there's no way I could say it and keep a straight face!

Now for the more exciting part of this post. I'm actually wondering how many of you scanned through the first two paragraphs, not really reading them, to get down to this section. So, we had the 'big' ultrasound today. It took an hour and a half and they checked out and measured all sorts of stuff on each baby. Everything looks good - they both measure 20 wks and 1 day, which is 1 day ahead. They are both 12 oz. Baby B has big feet - given my family history I'm not surprised, but I'm hoping some other growing happens so they end up average sized... Both heart rates are good and fall in the normal range. Right now Baby A is breech and Baby B is head down - the position of who's A and B won't change, but there's still room and plenty of time for A to end up in a head down position. (Which is important for how they are born - A has to be head down otherwise I'll have a c-section.) Baby A was quite active today, and did not want to hold still for pictures. Oh, I almost forgot! Okay, not really, I'm just dragging this out... The baby who was so discreet last time did give us a between the legs view today. And.........it's a boy! So, we've got two little boys in there! My mind is already racing with all the trouble they are going to get into together. :) We got one picture today where just because of the angle it looks like Baby B is giving Baby A a hug OR has him in a headlock - guessing the second option would be more likely...

Well, now we can move ahead with more planning. We have LOTS of work to do in the next few months!
