Past Halfway!

Well, I am happy to report that we are past the halfway point--22 weeks! I had my 4th ultrasound today, and it is amazing how much the babies have grown. We were able to confirm that Baby B is officially a girl (they suspected it at 17 weeks, but couldn't say for sure). So a boy and a girl. They are kicking away and seem to be having a party in there sometimes! In church last week, we could both see my belly moving, first on one side, then the other--just little pops and pokes...maybe they're fighting already! But hopefully just playing nicely.... :)

My stats for 22 week appointment:
-gained 10 lbs since last appt at 17 weeks (at the previous appts, it was a 5 lb weight gain)
-Baby A (we'll call him Milton for fun) is 1 lb, 1 oz with a heart rate of 132 bpm
-Baby B (we'll call her Millicent) is 15 oz with a heart rate of 148 bpm
-fundal height: 8 1/2 inches

No strong cravings, but I have taken a liking to strawberry smoothies with vanilla yogurt and pine-orange-banana juice. Cottage cheese and egg salad sandwiches are also something that seems to appeal to me a lot more than it used to. Of course, I always had cravings for ice cream, so that doesn't count.

Well, that's about all for now!
