My blood pressure and glucose were normal, and they sent off a bunch of routine blood work. I believe that I've gained around 11 pounds so far. It's hard to tell because I lost quite a bit during the first trimester. Time to play catch-up! I'm almost out of my regular clothes and starting to incorporate maternity clothes into the mix. It feels so weird...I feel like an impostor sometimes. I never thought that this would be me, so it's really hard to wrap my brain around it!
The most exciting news of the visit was during our sonogram. Our tech was able to immediately tell what gender Pow was, and after a little shaking and bouncing we were able to wake Boom Boom enough to show us the goods. She told us that she was pretty certain of the genders and could tell us what they were today, unless we wanted to wait for our 18-20 week checkup. Ummmm...today please!
Since I am being reprimanded by my family and friends for not providing them with weekly bump updates (lol), I am going to let you guess what we are having. It's all in the outfit!
We are having...TWO BOYS!!!
They definitely have penises! No mistaking! Did you know that a plural form of penis is penes? Just thought that I'd humor you with that little piece of useless info. We are so excited and are so blessed. After almost 7 years, God has blessed us with two boys. Unbelievable. I am still praying for all of my blog buddies who are still being tortured by the infertility gods. Keep your faith and NEVER GIVE UP.
I started feeling them move earlier this week...at first I was like, what the hell is that? It feels like little bubbles popping and light brushes right now. I confirmed it with my doppler when I felt that same sensation whenever the heartbeats would drift away, meaning they were moving around. Such an amazing feeling.
Here are the penis pics...they were flopping in the wind on the monitor, but unfortunately the pictures come out grainy and it's hard to make anything out. The perspective is as if you are looking up at their butts. The arrows are pointing towards the penises.
Here's a picture of them side by side...they can't fit them in the same picture anymore. I had to rotate the picture because they are floating upside down.
Little boys! Pow is Twin A, Boom Boom is twin B.
Sooo, time to start thinking about names, the nursery, and we get to shop for clothes now! Yay! Thank you God for blessing us.
We're having penes! So grateful!

So excited for you!

Awesome news :) Congrats!
I love baby boys!! But I could be a wee bit biased! Oh and forget buying those 'peepee teepees'....they suck. My little boy pee's all over his change table anyway as the darn things fall off as he's so squirmy. Ha! LisainSK
I'm so happy that you are doing great! and the boys too!
OH MY GOSH! I can't imagine how excited you and your hubby are! haha... THREE BOYS in the house means you're outnumbered!!! Little boys do adore their mama! I am so happy for you guys. I can't wait to see pics of the nursery and the cute things you're going to stock up on! I hope you always call them Boom Boom and Pow...even when they are 17 and getting ready for prom! hahaha Continuing to pray for you guys!
Congrats to you guys! Little boys are completely awesome. Your description of the movement is so perfect, too. That was definitely one of the happiest memories of my pregnancy (umm, the fourth one, which finally yielded a baby). Can't wait for more updates. Happy to have discovered your blog.
So excited for you! I started reading your blog a few years ago after my own miscarriage and am happy to also be 14 weeks along today. It is wonderful to hear your happiness and fantastic news.
EEEEK!!! I LOVE this post!!! We are so excited for you and Andy! Boys are AWESOME (although I may be a little biased). :) Peyton and Cooper can't wait to have some friends to play with!!
Bear says, "Wow, more Andy's running around" - haha. I am so glad that you've started feeling them move...isn't it amazing?! You both are truly blessed and we are so happy for you!! Love you!
I know my boys are wanting to hear their KK's voice again...I giggle every time I think of them! They are going to have the best life ever...I am in love already.
Wow, I have been dying to check your blog for a while but have been super busy at school. I am so excited to hear that you are having two boys. I haven't found out the gender of our twins yet but I keep telling people it will be boys for some strange reason. Congrats and you look fabulous!!!
