My belly is officially a jungle gym. It is so strange and wonderful to feel them punch and kick and play. It seems like they really get going when I am still. As soon as I lay down to sleep, they think it's play time. I just assume that my movements lulls them to sleep and when I stop they wake up. Oh I hope that's not forwarning for the future. Hehe.
Well, I have decided to reveal the names I have chosen for the babies. Of course there is always a chance that they might change slightly, but I was tired of people hounding me (mostly family). So here goes. The girl is Bella Addison and the boy is Jaxon Eli but we'll call him Jax. So Bella and Jax it is.
At my last Ultrasound Bella seems to be in the lower position but breech and Jax was happily hanging out upside down toward my right side. I don't know how long before they lose the room to move and flip around and remain in their final position, but I hope it's a while. My doctors are fairly convinced I am going to need a c-section. They said if both babies are in the correct position and are somewhat equal in size than I can try for a natural delivery. At first I was really upset because initially even before I found out I was having twins, I wanted a home, water birth. Needless to say that is not going to happen this time. But I am holding that I can have a natural, medication and intervention free delivery, but I also truly want what is best for me and the babies. And that very well may be a c-section. Who knows.
I can't believe I still have another 3 to 3 1/2 months left. I keep having the urge to come home and slip out of the fat suit. Like it's something I can take off. As much as this is a magical and unbelievable experience it's not the easiest one I've ever experienced physically. I know it will be well worth it in the end.
