I think we have come up with baby names, at least I have!

I have come up with baby names that I like, at least so far. Anything can change until I have to name them legally. In California I think I have 7-10 days after they are born. I like these names, I'm just hoping I don't have to argue with their Daddy too much. We'll see if I get my way or not.

Anyway, this is if they are both girls, and if they are I'm not going to attach a name to them until I see them. I want to see which name fits which baby.

These are what I came up with.



1. Kiely Jae (Jae is for my brothers, their names both start with J)

Kiley Jai (not sure about the spelling of both names yet)



2. Ally Rae (Rae to stand for Reina, that's their great Grandmother's name)

Ally Rai





I'm just hoping their daddy won't fight me too much on the Rae name since it's his Grandmother's and his sister's name. I just think it Rae/Rai fits better than Reina.

(I'm hoping they are both girls, if not I have to come up with a boy name...hmmm, I can still use Ray)

I'm putting a poll up to see what everyone thinks. Don't forget to voice your opinion. Thanks

22 Weeks

Each week that passes makes me happy, I'm getting closer to 40 weeks. I can't believe that I'll see my babies in less than 18 weeks. I'm just hoping to get as close to 40 weeks as possible, I want them to be as healthy as possible.
I'm still wondering if my twins are di/di or mo/di, none of the sonographers nor my OB have mentioned what they are. I will try and remember to ask my OB at my next visit. I'm really happy my OB visits are every two weeks now. I'm not sure if this is standard with all multiple pregnancies, or if it's standard just for mo/di pregnancies. However, it puts my mind more at ease since he administers an ultrasound at each visit.
My next ultrasound visit is on the 24th, so I will also ask the sonographer if they now if the babies are di/di or mo/di. I know at my 12 week ultrasound they only saw one placenta and then at my 16 week ultrasound they said there are two placentas. That's the reason I'm confused about what kind of twins I'm carrying. I know if they are di/di, I don't have to worry about TTTS, but if they are mo/di then there are more complications that can arise. It is reassuring that I'm having more ultrasounds than before.
I'm beginning to feel their movements more now. It's so different from when I carried my other children. I feel Baby A just above my pelvic bone and Baby B is just under my stomach area. I love it!!! Now that I'm not having migraines on a regular basis I'm finally able to enjoy my pregnancy. I know that I will get more uncomfortable the further along I am, but at least (fingers crossed) I hopefully won't have the migraines on top of it. I think the magnesium oxide is working! Yay!!!

21 Weeks

I'm starting to feel like the time is passing by more quickly now. My doctor visits will be every 2 weeks now. I have an appointment next week already. The after that I have an ultrasound, they are every 4 weeks now.
The holidays are right around the corner, so next year doesn't seem so far away now. I'm in so much pain I can't wait until this half on my pregnancy passes. I am happy that I haven't had a migraine in awhile......yay!!! It must be the magnesium oxide. This week I'm suppose to add another dose, as long as it doesn't irritate my stomach. Thank goodness something seems to be helping.
Today when I went shopping I could hardly walk or should I say waddle! It's the first time I had to use on of those electrical carts to do my shopping. It helped, but once I got off, my butt and hips were hurting bad. Oh well, at least I was able to do the shopping I needed without being in so much pain. I fear now that I will have to send my Mom out to do all my shopping for me since not all of the stores have the electric carts. I feel bad that I have to put so much on my Mom so soon, she's willing to do it for me, but I still feel bad about it.
My next ultrasound is October 24th, first I hope my babies are healthy, next I hope we will find out what Baby B is for sure. I have an OB appointment before then, but he won't look for the gender. That's okay, he looks for the more important things like; sizes, fluid levels etc. I'm always a little nervous just before an ultrasound. I just want them to continue to grow into healthy little babies that will have a healthy start at life. So far they seem to be doing just fine, they look good at every visit.
I've been doing research on my type of twinning. I was under the assumption that my babies are in 2 sacs, 1 chorion sac with one placenta. But, after the last ultrasound when the sonographer told me I have two placentas, I got confused about it. I'm going to make another post on that subject later on. I still believe I'm having identical twins, mainly because it looks like their is only one chorion sac. I know this isn't the most important thing, but I find the subject of twins very fascinating.
