21 week update

We had another boring ultrasound today. Fluid levels were 5.5cm and 5.9cm which is perfect! No signs of TTTS. My Peri also looked at the girls hearts because twins are more suseptible to heart problems. He said that their hearts are some of the most perfect hearts he has seen on twins. Yay! I'm honestly not to worried about the girls having health problems and I'm almost out of the extreme danger zone for severe TTTS, I read that most severe TTTS will show up before 20 weeks, after that TTTS is usually milder until I reach 34 weeks. I will be completely out of the woods for TTTS once the twins are born so I won't be able to breath easy until d-day, but it's nice to have biweekly ultrasounds and I can relax in two week increments. My next ultrasound on July 1st will be another anatomy scan, those are usually more interesting and I want to know if the twins are still growing on track.

I've had a little bump in the pregnancy this week. Friday I started spotting and I have been spotting everyday since. It's not very much, but it was still enough to get me concerned. Bloody show is one of the signs of labor and I'm overly cautious about preterm labor. I panicked and left work early to lay down. I had Jared say a prayer as I was driving home because I was started to get overly worried and I needed to calm down. After that I felt better. I saw my doctor and he said my cervix is high, firm and closed. It's just my bodies way of telling me to slow down. I thought I was slowing down, but I'm finally starting to get some energy back so I have been doing a lot more then I was before 20 weeks. Doctor also said that I may need to start thinking about leaving work earlier than what we initially thought, so basically closer to the 28 week mark instead of the 32 week mark. I'm wondering how that will work with me being home all day and still having Mason here. Sounds very exhausting, and honestly staying home all day for 8 weeks before the twins arrive also sounds very boring. I guess I'm going to just have to get used to seeing blood this pregnancy, never something a pregnant woman wants to have to get used to.

I've been stocking up on baby items. It makes the pregnancy go by faster and keeps me calm. These girls are going to be very well dressed because I have to shop a LOT just to keep my nerves calm.

My newborn lot. 

That is all strictly newborn and preemie clothes. I try to tell myself I'm done buying newborn clothes, but who am I kidding, I'm going to buy more newborn clothes. I found this great store called Once Upon a Child. I can't believe I didn't know how awesome this store was before I had Mason. I love to get lost in that store for awhile and just forget about everything for and pretend like I have a normal pregnancy.We went to Buy Buy Baby to start a registry, I got so overwelmed. I need so much for these twins that I didn't even think about, and looking at the prices was shocking. With every item that I registered for I had to register for double the amount. I'm so glad that it's garage sale season because I don't have to register for very many big items, but those small items are starting to add up.

Only 3 more weeks to go until viability!!!!!
