I’m still pregnant with twins Only now we know that they are both girls. Of course there is no way to be 100% certain until they are born but the ultrasound tech said she is 90% sure that they are both girls. We have another U/S tomorrow (October 6th) and we hope they can take another look just to reconfirm it.
I’m now 24 weeks pregnant and at the most have only 14 weeks to go. Getting to 24 weeks is a big deal to me this time around. When I was pregnant with Zach I would read the weekly updates online and in the pregnancy books and when I read that 24 weeks was widely considered the date of viability it really didn't seem like a big deal to me. I never considered the possibility of going into labor that early I just assumed that Zach would be born a full term, healthy baby. He was by the way. Then I got pregnant again and soon found out it was twins and all of a sudden all those milestones that I ignored with Zach suddenly made sense. Even with my pregnancy with Zach I stressed until I reached the second trimester since I had miscarried before, but with this pregnancy my stress level has been at an all time high. I worried until I reached the second trimester that I might miscarry again. Then I started to worry that something might happen to one of the babies and I wouldn’t know it. Now that I can feel each baby move my stress level had dropped considerably. I feel better now that I have reached 24 weeks and now I’m looking forward to the next major milestone, 28 weeks. At that point the babies chances of survival greatly improve. I really hope that I make it all the way to my C-section at 38 weeks but I know that the reality is with twins my chances of having these babies early are pretty good.
I’ll leave you for now with a picture of my growing belly.
