SO its only been two weeks but so much has already happened! Well for starters me and Devin celebrated our first wedding anniversary in San Diego! It was so wonderful! I must say my husband is the best travel partner ever! We always seem to be on the same page, whether it be multiple doughnut stops, ice cream, or just how much we are going to tip our waiter, going on vacation with my little husband is the best because we seem to crave the same things and have the same ideas! We really had a blast in San Diego, we went to the Zoo, Sea World, we went to movies, did a little shopping, we hung out on the beach, and we slept in and just had an awesome four days together that we will remember for ever! I really love Devin more and more every day, he isn't just my husband but my best friend and I am so glad that he is the person that I get to spend forever with!
After we returned home from our little vacation, we moved into our new apartment! Its crazy how much you appreciate the simple things of life when you have to do without them. Such as having a washer and dryer in your home, ice makers, a smoke free smelling apartment, ceiling fans. double sinks. Our last apartment was not horrible but I think everyone needs to experience going without certain luxuries just to you can truly appreciate them later. Needless to say I LOVE our new apartment, I've already hung pictures and done a little decorating and it is so wonderful to have a home with my husband!
We also had another sonogram. We still are not 100% sure if the second baby is a boy or a girl. Its not that we cant see whats going on down their its just hard to tell! like I said before the second twin is quite a bit smaller than the HUMONGOUS boy and his/her little parts are just hard to decipher, however the sonogram tech did say that at this point she would say that it is probably a girl. As much as I would LOVE to run out and buy a bazillion girl clothes and make fifty stupid headband and bows I am going to refrain because I'm still not convinced! Luckily I'll be having sonograms every two weeks so I'll hopefully get some closure with the next few sonograms.
As far as the concern for the difference in size goes this is what I was told and this is what we saw at this sonogram: Both babies are continuing to progress which is good news. The smaller baby is still quite a bit smaller but is continuing to grow. Last sonogram the deviation in size was 32% this time it was 35% so their was a slight increase in the size difference but not a huge difference so that is also good. Twin to Twin transfusion syndrome is only present in identical twins and if one is a boy and one is a girl then obviously they are not identical so that is also really good news (not making any bets on that yet though). the boy is approximately one pound and the "girl" is half a pound reasons for this could be the following: the umbilical cords connect very close together at the placenta, so its possible one is getting a little more nutrients and the other is getting a little less because they are so close in proximity, and lastly the umbilical cord of the "girl" could be attached to the outer portion of the placenta which is not "ideal" placement for the cord also causing the baby to be smaller. Overall this appointment was much more assuring that their is not some MAJOR problem and both babies are looking healthy. This also means I will continue to have sonograms every two weeks which is perfectly fine with me becasue I love to see those babies any chance I Get!
That is pretty much it for now I am getting bigger and bigger I found my first stretch mark on my thigh the other night and since I don't wear booty shorts and never intend to Its really no big deal. I am eating like a hobbit I swear these last two weeks I have been ravenously hungry and am about two pounds short of passing my husband on the scale but he's a little shrimp anyways so that not a huge accomplishment lol. Being pregnant is the coolest thing ever I can feel the babies move constantly and I am so excited to be a mother. Devin is still working like a mad man but received his appointment for his oral interview with the Border Patrol so we are still crossing our fingers and praying that works out. Until next time.
