20 week update!!

Well, we made it to the critical 20 week mark!! Next milestone is 24 weeks, which is considered the "viability point"...meaning if the babies were born at that time they could potentially make it with significant NICU stay and help. The Braxton Hicks have gotten a little more frequent, about 3-4 an hour now...but my Dr gave me some medicine to help them out if I need too...so we just keep watching and waiting. Here's my 20 week belly shot:

I had my 20 week Dr visit yesterday. The babies are doing great! Baby A (Kayla) is 11 oz and measuring 19w3d. Baby B is 13 oz and measuring 20w0d. The dr doesn't seem concerned that Kayla is measuring a little smaller than her sister, seems that can happen with identicals. But they are both growing at the same rate so we are very happy! Here are some pics!!

This is a pic of their heads...Baby B is on the left and Kayla is on the right facing her sister.








This is Baby B...I think she has Kiko's lips!! What do you think?







This is Kayla waving "HI" to everyone out there!! She's got my personality, I think :).

You are looking FANTASTIC!! I love seeing your tiny little baby bump...you will be amazed at how fast it turns "not so tiny" anymore! The babies look wonderful and it sounds like they are right on track as far as weight goes...mine have always been 3-6 ounces apart so don't stress about it...Love and miss ya tonz!!!
