14 weeks Dr. Visit




Today marks the 14th weeks of pregnancy. I found a great new doctor here in Mt. Pleasant. Her name is Dr. Gregory and she is about 6 months older than Ken and I. She is very peppy and personal.
First, I was able to get another sonogram of the babies. The sonographer was great, better than the one in Chattanooga (who had no personality and did not explain anything to Ken and I). She was able to get images and measure both babies to see if they are up to par on the sprouting chart and they are doing just perfect. Baby A is our more stubborn/shy one and Baby B is our outgoing one. Baby B would lie in just the perfect positions for the sonographer and Baby A was stubborn and would hide. Baby B, Mr. Personality decided to spread "his" legs and show us his goods. We will not be certain until January 13th, but to me it really looked like a boy and the sonographer agreed. She actually said "I think you are having 2 boys, although it is still too early to tell."
Second, I was able to talk to Dr. Gregory and meet her nurse whom I will be directed to in the event I have questions over the phone or anything to the sort. She did move my due date to June 18th due to the sonogram yesterday. She also explained how a mother carrying twins usually does not make it to the full term 42 weeks and usually she will want to deoiver around 38 to avoid any complications, so we are looking at the end of May folks!!! It was a great experience and I look forward to working with Dr. Gregory and her team.
I am having different cravings, which is fruit and healthier foods. I went to the grocery store the other day and bought the entire fruit and fresh vegetable section:) I guess this is a much better craving than my Mc Donald's cheeseburger's, which got me through my first trimester of nautiousness!
Ken's first day of work was on Wednesday and he has been going full speed since then. He had a Christmas Family Holiday Party at Savannah Grace, which is the name of the Assisted Living/Nursing Home that he oversees. He worked a 12 hour day that day but said everything went great.
We will continue to keep you posted of the growing babies. We both cannot wait until January 13th to find out the sex of our little bambinos!!!! Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!!!
