I Swear I saw a Penis!!

We had our latest Dr. appointment yesterday (at 14w3d), and Baby B had is butt displayed in the air, and between his little legs was a little "something". My dr. would not confirm or deny that it is a boy just yet, mostly because we are so early. But not one person in the room (Keith, Jayson, and Morgan) deny that there was "Something" there, I am just the one convinced its a Penis! I could be wrong though. I guess time will tell.

The babies are up to 4" now, and things are getting tight in my tummy for them. They are measuring almost exactly the same size, so that is really good. It is getting harder to see the entire baby at once on the ultrasound machine because they are too big. They look great though. Yesterday, their bone structure was really visible for the first time. We saw their spine, and skull and all the other bones. It is really cool.

By our next appointment my Dr. wants us to decide if we are going to have the testing done to see if they could possibly have any birth defects. I think we have decided not to do it for several reasons. The first being, those tests often display false positive results for multiple pregnancies. Which in turn would create a lot of unnecessary worry for the remainder of the pregnancy. Secondly, we are so far along, that even if something is wrong with them, we would not terminate at this point. We also have no reason to believe that anything is going to be wrong, neither one of us have anyone in our families with birth defects.

We are, however, going to do the Level II ultrasound at around week 20. This ultrasound is a lot more detailed and can check to assure all the major organs are present and functioning etc... That should be really interesting, I am pretty excited for that!

So far, so good!! People are starting to notice that Im pregnant finally (and not just fat!). Someone in the elevator at the Dr. office yesterday asked me if this was my first one?, and I told her it was my first TWO!

We just bought a new camera, so I PROMISE I will post some pictures of my belly soon... We are leaving for the river this evening, and will not return until Sunday so it will probably be sometime after that. It is supposed to be 121 at the river tomorrow, so I am going to have to stay in the shade and drink a shit ton of water so I dont get dehydrated (dehydration can be extremely dangerous when you are preggo). Good thing my hubby is a paramedic, and I will be in good hands.

OK, I think this is long enough. The next Dr. appointment is next Friday, the 13th. I will keep you updated...
