16 Weeks Along!!
I am 16 weeks along and growing! I look as if I am about 5 months pregnant. It is amazing how much quicker you begin showing. I am going to be huge at the end.
I can slightly feel the babies move, they are still really small so it feels like little butterflies in my tummy. I never feel the movements at the same time, it is usually one side then the other.
Matt and I ordered and received two cribs and a hutch. They are a beautiful Espresso color. I think it is going to be a tight fit in the room, but there should be quite a bit of storage space. Once everything is put together I will take some pictures.

The Beginning!
The day after Joseph's 3rd birthday party, April 6th, I found out I was pregnant!! At the very beginning I noticed a lot of different changes occurring with my body and new this is going to be a different pregnancy than I had with Joseph. But I never expected to find out at my 7 week doctor appointment that my sonogram would show TWINS! OMG! Matt could not be with me because he was in Louisiana, so my mom went with me and the look on her face was priceless! I sent the picture to Matt on my phone and he asked who's twins those were, and I said ours! He couldn't believe it either. It is a moment I will never forget.
My doctor loaded me with information, saying that with twin pregnancies the symptoms are heightened, more cramping, bed rest around 28 weeks, more likely to have a C-section. I was at the doctor's office for about 2 hours just filled with information. I was just in shock and just didn't know where to start.
About 3 weeks later I finally accepted the fact that we were going to have two babies and began to look at the positive side of things. We found websites, books and people to talk to about twins which has eased my mind tremendously.
At 12 weeks I had my second doctor's appointment and Matt was able to go with me this time. He got to see both babies on the sonogram. It is the coolest thing! Baby A was shy and did not want to have it's picture taken, but Baby B was very photogenic.

I have down loaded the sonogram pictures so you can enjoy them as well!
