Yesterday was the 20 week mark! Which is generally the halfway point, though for us we are perhaps a bit into the second half with probable early deliveries and all. Eeeps! Probably something like 15 weeks to go, OMG! My constant thought, which I think is somewhat normal for a rapidly getting more pregnant person is where the heck are we going to be living? Its kind of hard to imagine it all when you don't have a background on which to set your imaginings.
On Thursday we had another ultrasound and doctors appointment. We had our now Very Favorite Tech for the u/s, and she was so great at reassuring us that everything looks fab. We are on a two week schedule these days, with every other appointment being a shorter fluid check (measuring the fluid levels in each of the girls sacs, and a few other general measurements and anatomy checks) or a longer anatomy scan (and hour and a half of measuring every organ/limb possible, it seems). This week we was the shorter one, and the fluid levels were both within normal. With each good ultrasound we get a little less worried.
When we met with the doctor after that she confirmed what I had read somewhere, too -- that having carried a baby to term (and then some) previously drops me into the lowest risk catagory for preterm labor with twins. I don't think that takes into account an early delivery if something like twin to twin transfusion syndrome, or some other health issue affecting the babies appears, but it does mean that the risk of my body pressing the eject button too early (often an issue with twins) is less. Hooray!
