My papayas have turned!

Well today was another specialist Dr. appt. down in Wilmington and I don't have a whole lot of new information. The girls are still doing wonderful and are at healthy sizes and weights! And apparently they are already copying each other, because as of today they are both in the vertex position (what I like to call head down position)! Now if only they will both be in this position when it comes time to deliver. What I find amusing is that I had a routine Dr. appt yesterday at the Naval hospital and Baby B was in breech position and Baby A was in a between position kicking her sister! (Which also explains why I wasn't feeling her movement as much as her sister's.) So at some point since yesterday morning they both decided to turn. :) I just think it's cute that they are staying head to head. Both babies are right around a pound and a half and have great heartbeats! Also the fluid in their sacs are still very close in size so we are still doing good and staying away from TTTS. Of course that could start happening at any point in the pregnancy so we won't be in the clear until they are born. I did find out today that since they are sharing a placenta that they DO share/swap blood! TTTS is only if they aren't sharing equally. Pretty neat to find out that they are sharing even before they are born!

As for the Momma to be, to Dr. didn't seem to impressed to hear that I had just walked a 10K. In fact he doesn't want me walking (for exercise) or even exercising AT ALL! And I understand where he is coming from since the more active you are in pregnancy the more likely you will deliver early and since twins already tend to come early they want me less active so that they stay in as long as possible, I get that. It's the not burning the calories I'm eating that I don't like. I'm not a health nut by any means and I like my carbs (okay I love my carbs) but I've always depended on exercise to help me burn those carbs! :( Oh well, I guess I'm going to have to do some prenatal yoga every few days. But on a high note my cervix survived the 10K and the Dr. said that I was not only doing good, but that I was doing FaBuLoUs! I thank my genetics for this. :)

As for the Marine Corps Marathon and 10K, I DO have an update and I DO have pictures. My problem is getting my pictures in my post! I'm hoping that I can get it all worked out tomorrow or Friday at the latest, so check back often! In short we had a blast and it was a success! :)
