We go back to see Dr. Magnussen on Monday. All I can say is that I feel as tired, round, and sore as a singleton mom at 8 months, and as ill as I did the first trimester, but different. Now it's sudden OH rather than lingering ohhhh...
School's out in a couple of weeks and I'll be able to try and begin conjuring up work from home and begin work on the nursery. Aiming for a s i m p l e, happy space. Possibly mini cribs? We'll see...
Think we've narrowed the name choices down to two sets...
Carson Graham / August Wriley Sergent (Carson / August)
(or)
Lucas Graham / Carson Wriley Sergent (Luke / Carson)
...Matt likes Carson/August. I like them both equally. Trying them both on for size.

U/S#2!!!
Today, we had our second ultrasound to make sure we were growing healthy babies and find out their sexes. We're having BOYS!!
(So you know, in our case, "Baby A" is the baby sitting highest up and "Baby B" is sitting lower) Baby A was in the spotlight first. Dr. Magnussen was able to view him very well from head to abdomen to genitalia – which he was VERY PROUD to be showing off for us. Baby B, however, is sitting so very low that good imagery of him was more challenging. She was able to get decent measurements of him, and sneak a peak at his genitals. Although, she warns that even though he appears to be a boy, due to the position and angle we were looking at him, there is a slim chance of him not being a boy... though she feels confident that he is in fact a boy.
They each had a heart rate of 141, measured about the same, and weighed in at 10 oz each. They were both really active and so fun to watch. We got a good show, but not really any clear images to share. Below is "Baby B." You can see his profile from the chin down; arms folded, knees toward the chest, feet crossed. Both boys are sitting transverse (meaning, horizontal) and side by side one another. They looked like they were playing with each other in there.
We go back again in two weeks. Today, we are 18 weeks 2 days into the pregnancy, and are so far doing well. She did tell me that I have to rest and take it easy because the biggest concern is premature labor. I told her I had been feeling excessively tired sometimes, some simple chores causing my heart to pound... her response, in true Doc Mag fashion: don't do that.
Tomorrow, Madison turns 15 years old! I'm actually thinking she likes knowing she still holds the throne as the only daughter; based off of her excitement over the news that we were having two boys. We are all very happy. Let the naming begin...
