Week 20!

This has been a pretty incredible week. I will start with the most fun part :)

We had our 20 week ultrasound on Tuesday where we found out that we are expecting TWO GIRLS! How exciting is that!?! I can't wait to start shopping for some pink. Good thing it's my favorite color. While its not Kevin's favorite color, he is beyond excited as well. I think he is dreaming setter and outside hitter already. The ultrasound showed that both of the girls are healthy and doing well and we are very thankful for that.

Baby A now weighs 12 ounces and Baby B weighs 11 ounces. Its good that their weights are so close because that means that neither one is getting more nutrients than the other. While we did get a lot of pictures, most of them are of Baby A. She was being very photogenic while Baby B was hiding her face with both of her hands. If you remember from our last ultrasound, it was the other way around. We did get some good shots of Baby B's feet and legs though.

Baby A...

Both of our GIRLS with hands by their faces while they sleep....Kevin would tell you that is something they take after me  :)

On Monday night we went to a "Multiple Blessings" class at our hospital. It was very informative and fun to sit with other couples expecting twins. One of the gals is also in my Centering group and is due within a couple days of us. Speaking of the Centering group, it has been going well. I am glad that I decided to do it. It's been nice getting to know our doctor more and she has been great.

I have also recently started to feel lots of movement. Its now to the point where I can see my stomach move or kind of twitch...and after seeing how each were positioned at the ultrasound, I think I have a better guess as to which one is doing the moving around. It's a pretty cool feeling!!

This week the girls are the length of a banana. Prior to 20 weeks, the length was estimated from head to rump. But from 20 weeks on, the measurements are estimated from head to feet since their legs and arms are now starting to stretch out. Thought I would share that with you because I was really curious how they could go from the length of a mango to the length of a banana in one week. Here are the 20 week pictures:
