Updating on the baby bump

Or would it be the babies bump? Or babies' bump? Anyways, things are going along well. We had our first appointment with our obstetrician on Monday and he was encouraging. We both really liked him and felt comfortable with him. He told us that I could continue with life, don't have to "take it easy" as everyone has suggested since finding out that we are having twins. Unless, of course, I get high blood pressure or something is wrong with the babies themselves. Makes sense to me. I am trying to get rest when I feel I need it, but I think that every pregnant woman should do that. He was also encouraging with the fact that I am doing well and gave us more info than we had before regarding how long we can expect to go with twins and what is good for length of pregnancy. I am aiming for June babies. That would put me after 36 weeks and is really good for a twin pregnancy apparently. So, as long as there is nothing wrong with the babies physically, and I listen to my body, we should be good. For all of you who pray out there, I would appreciate prayer for nothing to go wrong with my twins and for a long pregnancy.
And, without further ado... pics of the babies' bump.

Almost 22 weeks- Monday, February 25, 2008.

23 weeks today - Wednesday, March 5, 2008.

I feel smaller this week than the past few, but I think that the twins have moved up lengthwise to fill the space between my ribs and torso instead of going straight out the front as they were before. I am at 27 cms for fundal height and the babies heartbeats are 150 and 160.

I love the the bump! Isn't it weird how your whole shape can change in a matter of minutes depending on how they choose to lie at that time? So weird. With two it must feel even cooler!
