So Not Prepared

So my 16 weeks post is in the works and we took "better" pictures this time. I might have to get a new photographer. How do I end up feeling fat and ugly when you are suppose to be okay being fat because you're pregnant?

Anywho...we had our 16 week scan today. The best news is that the cervix is killing it! Still long and closed according to them but starting to be a little shorter than last time. I will postpone the freaking out until 18 weeks. In the meantime I will continue to sit on my ever expanding posterior to be on the safe side.

We had a MUCH MUCH nicer and thorough sonographer this time. We didn't even have to ask to hear the heartbeats. She just whacked those babies up there first thing. I honestly couldn't believe how big they are. Before they used to get both in the same shot. NOT NO MORE! The other weird thing is that Baby B is hanging out about belly button level (It is not fun to clean the ultrasound goo out of your belly button).

But today's scan came with two big shocks. The first one was they aren't a week ahead anymore. They are only a day ahead or so. They didn't measure their lengths just lots of little parts but the computer spat out 16w6 days, which is tomorrow. So apparently despite their normal size I feel MASSIVE.

On a side note, I went swimming this weekend to try and relieve the back pain. The swimming pool's mascot is the orca whale. Simon just had to mention that I had come to the right place because these were my people.

Shock number 2 is starting to wear off a little. Baby B is pretty certain to be a boy. Baby A is likely to be a boy as well but it wasn't the best shot. TWO BOYS!!! TWIN BOYS!!! I will be in a house of all BOYS (including the kitty). We were so sure we were going to have one of each or possibly 2 girls. BUT BOYS???? It has taken us 3 years to agree on ONE boy's name. There is a very good chance they will be born before we have a name for the second boy. Simon is over the moon imagining all the sports etc. I'm kinda mourning the lose of the possibility of pink and bows and baby dolls.

I did actually break down and buy my first baby item since getting pregnant. I am still worried that I will jinx it. But we bought a little sleeper that says rock star on it.
