12 Weeks and Second Ultrasound

Twelve weeks today, crazy to think I'm ending the first trimester already.  I dare say my extreme fatigue seems to be lightening a bit? Maybe? Please? 

Had an ultrasound on Monday and it was so cool! Unfortunately Tom couldn't come with me that day but my mom was awesome and was able to take some time out of her work day to come with me.  Seeing the babes moving around in there was so cool, it's amazing how they already look so fully formed, just little tiny people already!  Didn't get to hear the heartbeats but saw them both flickering away!  At the ultrasound I was 11 weeks 5 days according to my last period so here were the babies stats that day: 

I should start by saying it was really hard for the techs to determine which baby was really A and which was B.  They label the babies according to who is closer to the cervix but both were hanging out so close together it was difficult to tell (how cute, they already are cuddling) :0).  I also got to have an ultrasound student do my ultrasound, her first for twins!

Baby A (or the one we're calling baby A): measured 12 weeks 3 days (already ahead of schedule!) and had a heart rate of 162bpm (I think? I know it was in the 160's--remember, pregnancy brain is my excuse for everything).  This was the one doing most of the moving and at one point looked like she/he was making little punching movements

Baby B:  measured 11 weeks 5 days (right on track) and had a heart rate of 149bpm.  This baby seemed to be a little more relaxed and didn't squirm around too much during the ultrasound. 

I spent the last few days cruising Etsy and other websites looking at baby stuff, can't wait to find out if we're having boys or girls! 

Next appointment is May 6th, I'll be almost 16 weeks and hopefully maybe showing a little?  A few people have asked if I should be showing already, but alas, I think they're just too tiny still.  Or I'm too chubby, but from what I read women with twins don't seem to start showing a whole lot sooner than women with one baby

Until next week! (I'm really going to try to keep up with this weekly.)
