On Friday morning, Eric said to Guinness: "We'll be back buddy. We're going to get pictures taken of the twins." It was cute. We were on our way to the ultrasound.
Everything was great! Their hearts were beating, which put me at ease because I haven't felt the movements yet that everyone seems to gasp about. Nicky, the ultrasound technician confirmed that we are having a boy and a girl. And, at this point, they weigh in at 1 lb., 3 oz., and 1 lb. 2 oz...perfect size! We saw their little hands move and I cried! They are my little babies and I can't wait to meet them! It was so amazing! They were touching their own heads and hitting each other, which was fun to see. Addison even yawned, but we both missed that.

On Satuday morning, at 4 a.m. I started having these low cramps that were kind of painful..they lasted for a few minutes. I just shrugged it off because the ultrasound went well. But then it happened again at 8 a.m. and then again when I was having lunch with my mom at noon. So I called the babyline and the nurse told me to go to the hospital. I'm sure they tell every expectant mom to do that, to cover their own butts. But I followed her instructions and went.
They hooked me up to a monitor, did a bunch of tests, then the doctor said it was OK for me to have contractions at this point, but not very many, so it was good that I came in. I didn't know I was having contractions. I just knew that it felt very different from all the other pains I have been having.
I was told to take it easy....no walks, no shopping, no exercising, no lifitng, etc. And I have a follow-up doctor appt. tomorrow morning. Hopefully, everything will still be good tomorrow. I want these babies inside as long as possible!!!!!
