I had my ultra sound today with the fetal cardiologist to check out their hearts.

One of the boys has Single Umbilical Artery, which means he has 1 artery in his umbilical cord instead of 2.

They checked both of them out. They both have good healthy hearts and good bloodflow. They are moving like crazy!!! While the doctor looked at their hearts, I watched them kicking, punching, sucking their thumbs, moving their head. Examining their little features...I swear they both have my little nose! LOL!

23 weeks down....getting much much closer!

    I have picked names...Evan and Dominick "Nicky". They are going to have a race car nursery.

    Anissa...I have a few friends actually that have twins. I just got an entire nursery of free furniture. Great cribs, dressers. Family and friends are already buying me clothes. NO MATCHING OUTFITS! hahahaha! I have bought a few clothes that I absolutely love.

    I see good things disappearing off my registries. LOL. Hoping to have a few great baby showers. I know they are being planned, but all surprises :)

    Thanks everyone for the well wishes.

    Yay Melissa! Sounds like all is well. And as a Kinder teacher, thank you for the no matching outfits! It is cute on babies, but problematic when they get older if they are identical. ;-)

    Cute names as well. :-D
