Second Ultrasound

We went in for another appointment on Wednesday, and were able to get another ultrasound. It's reassuring to see both heartbeats again, since we are still so early in the process.

We are in week 8 right now (out of 40 weeks), and our official due date is January 31, 2006. This, however, is the date that would be typical for a single pregnancy. With twins, we hope to have them sometime between 35-38 weeks, which puts us at the end of December to mid-January. Of course, Stacy, thinking like her accountant father, would like them to be born in late December for the tax advantages right away! (Assuming they are developed enough to be born safely).

At this appointment our nurse practitioner estimated that Stacy's uterus is the size that a typical single pregnancy uterus would be at 12 weeks. So, expect the bi-monthly photograph of Stacy to start expanding pretty quickly!
