Unsure . . .


About our twins combo. We were a bit bummed out,
although felt so
grateful to know that both twins are
growing & looking good!
My doctor did a quick
ultrasound to make sure they were both
growing good,
but since it's a little early to officially tell the
genders,
he took a guess on the babies but didn't say for sure.

He said it looks like we've got one boy in there & was
unsure about
the 2nd since its knees were up &
wouldn't let us get a sneak peek.
He didn't say for
positive on the boy, but seemed pretty sure.

So we get to wait for 3 more weeks for the big
hoorah on the big screen in 4D - the really fun
one! Ahh! It's killing us!

So I guess no ones guess is completely out yet!
It was still a great & informative visit & we
found out
our new due date is no later than
Sept. 14th, which would
be 2 weeks earlier than
our original due date. We were told

that they don't ever let twins go past 38 weeks
for increase
risks of the babies getting to large &
other possible complications.
We won't
necessarily be induced because my body could
def.
still go into labor on its own even before the new
due date since
my body could think it's time because
things will be so tight in there.
I won't need to be put
on bed rest unless I'm having preterm labor or

other complications, but the last 8 weeks I'm
to take it extremely easy
& no major traveling is
allowed for me.
Lastly, my doctor said it was great
that I'm "tall" with a long torso
which will help to
lessen the likelihood of complications & allow
more
room for the twins to grow longer.
So that's the latest & greatest so far!

I still can't get over that this is even happening!! It seems so surreal since you are so far away and I don't get to watch this time. It's killing me so I can't imagine what it is doing to you not knowing. :)

Wow! Seems others might be more bothered not knowing the genders than we are! ;) That's nice to have so many hoping for the best and pulling for us (Thanks everyone!). I love you Karis! I wish to restate my position and "knowing", not guess...
