Oh Boy, Oh Boy!!

It's official. 2 boys! We couldn't be more excited. The appointment with our local OB/GYN went great. The boys are measuring great, and so am I! The boys measured 16 weeks, 4 days and had heartbeats of 153 and 151. Baby A's head size was 3.2 cm and both weigh approximately 5 oz. each. I am currently 17 weeks, but my belly measured about 19. This is a normal growth difference for twins. I've currently gained 4 lbs total for the pregnancy and have been instructed to gain 4 more additional HEALTHY pounds by the next local appointment on May 25th.

The boys were SO active in the ultrasound and we had difficult chasing down Baby B to determine sex. Luckily, he finally settled down to let us peek! Since I will have a more indepth ultrasound on May 11th in Savannah the ultrasound tech didn't spend a great deal of time looking at the measurements, organs, etc. We just got to watch them move around and show us their fighting skills. She treated us to a 3D ultrasound and I've attached one of the pictures so you all can see. It is still very early in the development for a 3D so we can't tell who they look like yet. They are laying next to each other, Baby A is hiding behind the placenta a bit on the left and Baby B is stretching out on the right. Baby B kicked and Baby A pushed, so they are definetly brothers.

Since all of you may be wondering:

Baby A = William Paul Komanecky (Will)
Baby B = Robert Parker Komanecky (Rob)

Enjoy the recent pictures!

Baby Bump

Much to my dismay, my loving husband desperately wanted to send a picture of my HUGE bump to friends and family. For those of you that were not fortunate enough to receive the text, I'm willing to share with you here. I feel like this blog is a safe place.

In regards to my attire in this photo, I do apologize for the house renovation clothes I am sporting. We have lots to do before the babies get here, so time is precious. Also, for those of you that notice the spots of paint on my arm. I painted outside with low-odor paint. So don't worry, the kids weren't exposed to anything harmful! I'm not a very accurate painter, if you can't tell.

My wallet hurts...and it's only the beginning.

After 3 long months, we have officially ordered cribs. They should be here in a few days and then the assembly process begins. (for David.) The baby room is coming along, but there are still a few more projects to go. The dresser that we are going to refinish is currently sitting in the corner of the room. Every time I look at it, I get more intimidated. Luckily, that's David's project too. I'm the incubator. He's the carpenter. I think that is more than fair.

Week 13, 3rd Ultrasound
Baby B on left, Baby A on right. I can't believe how crowded it is in there already! Especially compared to the ultrasound at 8 weeks!

Week 8, 1st Ultrasound.

Lions, Tigers, and Bears...oh my!

We have completed the first trimester and I'm starting to get the urge to tell the entire world about the twenty tiny toes we have on the way! David and I still catch ourselves in disbelief that we are having twins. However, based on my expanding waistband - I don't think we'll be in disbelief that much longer.

The last doctors appointment was March 30th. Both heartbeats were strong and healthy. Baby A was at 166 and Baby B was at 161.

The next appointment will be April 26th and hopefully they will behave and let us see if they are boys or girls. Lets face it, I can't hold off on decorating a nursery much longer!

We will meet with the specialist in Savannah at Memorial Hospital on May 11th. We will have a more detailed ultrasound completed at this point that will let us know more about their development. Hopefully, they will cooperate here too! In addition, we will have some genetic testing completed. Doesn't that sound like fun?
