I know I'm way behind! I wanted to let you all know that even though this was a couple years ago now I will be writing as if it was currently happening. Mainly because I am writing from my own journal entries.
We hit 20 weeks and we are super excited because our anatomy scan for the twins is scheduled! We are so excited to find out what we are having! The scan went very well, both babies were growing great. She was a little concerned about Baby A as it's femurs were a little short compared to where it's growth should be overall. She said that this could be a sign of down syndrome and recommended that we do some testing to find out for sure. We decided not to do this testing and said that we would be prepared for whatever happened. Then she told us the genders! She went so quick that I was happy to have the ultrasound pictures to see a little more clearly. Watch the video of us revealing the genders to my family!

Twin boys! We were so excited!!
21 weeks- This week was crazy to say the least. We had our first (and hopefully only) emergency run to the hospital. I was having extreme pain in my lower right abdomen and right lower back. My doctor was worried it was appendicitis and told me to go in immediately. After spending a few hours in labor and delivery, and lots of tests, they determined that it was not my appendix, and that I was having round ligament pain. Talk about feeling stupid lol! While there, they also discovered that my cervix had begun to funnel and they said that they would be watching it closely to hopefully prevent the babies from coming sooner than they should.
Weeks 22-23- We finally settled on the names for our boys! Roger Wade Denson and Evan Frank Denson, which baby was going to have which name we would decide once we saw them in person. We had a growth check during this time. They were getting big! Baby A was measuring 15oz and Baby B was measuring 1lb 3oz. I had only gained 12lbs at this point and my doctor said that this weight was most likely all baby (fluid, placentas, actual babies). They also checked my cervix to make sure that the funneling wasn't getting worse. Thankfully, there had been no change! Which meant I did not need to go on bed rest. Though I did try to stay off my feet as much as possible.
In just 3 weeks time we had so much happen! The rest of my pregnancy updates will be following quickly so that I can get my birth story written before I forget everything that happened! Since it's been almost 2 years now!
Til next time!
