Baby Discotheque



Holy Cow we are at week 14 and have something that actually looks like a baby. This week's ultrasound was very exciting. We saw a lot of movement from both babies. They were arching their backs and moving their arms. Alex says it looks like disco warfare with all the reflex movements. Both babies are moving their arms like they are speed bag punching which is exciting for me especially when they start practicing on my bladder. Although they are moving constantly we have only felt a flutter a few times. Supposedly next month I will be able to feel the kicks of my little soccer players. The other exciting news is that we might have seen some potential boy parts. Its still early to tell and the other was shy so they are still a mystery on that one. Both babies are right on schedule with growth for their age at approximately 1-2 oz each and 2-3 inches long. I have started to show and have started wearing maternity clothes. My appetite has picked up significantly but the babies are still finicky about what they want to eat. So far fruit, Cheerios and peanut butter sandwiches are daily staples and I may never eat clam chowder again.
