So we had our appointment on Friday morning and they were able to tell us the babies' genders...we are having 2 girls!! Just as Eric suspected.
I was so surprised - I definitely felt like it was two boys or maybe one of each....never thought it'd be two girls b/c all I've ever been around is brothers and boys! I always just thought I'd be a mom of boys. We are super excited and now we can plan the nursery, pick names, talk to the babies like they're girls (b/c I've been picturing boys in my head when I talk to them)...so much fun. I'm especially excited for the girls b/c I didn't have a sister growing up and missed that so I'm happy they'll have each other.
My hematoma has shrunk which was the other great news of the day. It's still there, but heading in the right direction. Dr. Scutella said he thinks it will continue to shrink and doesn't feel like it should be a problem in the future (other than maybe a little more spotting). I was relieved b/c I thought the awful cough that I had for a week had squished the babies with all of the ab squeezing or maybe done something negative to the hematoma but it had no effect on either.
He cleared me to walk on the treadmill again which I'm excited about. I don't plan on breaking any records but it will be nice to get up and get moving again!
I have another appointment and another sonogram in 4 weeks so we have that to look forward to. Eric will actually be in Vegas with his dad and brother so my mom is going to come with me - I'm excited about it, I think she'll love seeing the sonogram happen and hearing the heartbeats.
I'll have to post the sonogram pictures soon - in one of the pictures the baby's thumb is sticking up in the air and I think she's going to have a Kensinger thumb!! If you're not familiar with that, you'll have to see Eric's thumb sometime - he's pleased about it since the girls won't carry on his last name he's glad they'll carry on his family's thumb! Too cute.

We are so excited and were very suprised too! I am so happy that your hematoma has shrunk. I was so concerned for you. I can't wait to see the new sonograms and a new belly pic of you. Lucas is excited to have two girl cousins that he will have to look out for...and he said it is ok if he has to play barbies once in awhile.:) Well, take care and we will be (hopefully) seeing you soon!
