First scare as a parent!!

Yesterday, I finally gave in to my "irrational thoughts" of concern. I was told that at my next appointment, I would definately feel the twins. That appt. was suppose to be in a week and I wasn't even really questioning feeling them. If anything, I could feel Baby B, but nothing from Baby A. (Travis and I think that Baby B must take after me, and Baby A must be the "chill" one taking after him!!) Along with not feeling them, my breathing is severely compromised at this point! So, I went in yesterday unscheduled to get checked out. He found Baby B's heartbeat right away, which sounded good with lots of movement. After what seemed like 10 minutes of searching for Baby A's heartbeat (I thought I was going to have a heart attack), my doctor reported with a smirk on his face that Baby A is hiding behind Baby B, that's why I only feel them on the one side!! So, it's offical, Baby A is already pulling stuff on mom, therefore, definately takes after dad. Breathing wise, they think I may be developing asthma again (as I had it when I was a kid) and the fact that I'm measuring like I'm 24 weeks pregnant and I'm only 18. So, the twins are literally taking my breath away!!! God love 'em though!!! FYI-We find out the sex of the twins on Sept. 26th at our next ultrasound! Stay tuned...

Kate! You are looking so great! I love this site idea. I just wanted to thank you for making the trip down for the wedding. Justin and I really appreciate it. Second, those babies are only going to learn more jokes from their father so you better be ready. Its good to hear that everything is going well. I can't wait to find out the sex of baby a and b. Justin and I are always thinking for you, and want to tell you that we are very excited for you both. We love you!
