An update on Mummy:

I am feeling a bit sick in the mornings but not too bad. managed to get a free prescription for progesterone from the hospital- yay!

I could feel you tickle me like crazy- when on the sofa with my feet up and also at work mid afternoons at my computer desk! can’t wait until I ca feel you kick properly. People giving up their seats on seeing my baby bump badge and growing tummy!

managed to play the bongos at church. Not sure if you liked the noise or not.

Still loving my feta cheese!

Me and you… What have we been doing this week?

On 15th August Mummy and Daddy got to see you for half an hour each for an intensive 18 week scan. We saw your brains, heart chambers, organs and bones 🙂

Daddy helped with taking the camping things to New Wine conference while Mummy received the new co-sleeper for you but it was the wrong size. Bought another one at a price we wanted.

Mummy started to plan her 40th birthday meal in September. We looked after Bob the hamster this week.

Went to see some friends and new baby I. Very cute.

The arms reach co-sleeper is lovely!!

We now have a bag of preemie clothes for you and some maternity clothes for mummy to enjoy!! given to us by very special friends.

Identical twins!! You are two of a kind! ❤️❤️

Mummy didn’t sleep before the scan as she was very nervous but excited to finally see you after all these weeks.

Are you actually there? Sickness, stretching and tiredness are the only things that make me know you are real.

We were called in almost straight away by Shrada, a lovely ultrasound lady. I had to drink lots of water but she didn’t mind too much. Mummy had cold jelly put on her belly. Daddy held mummy’s hand 😍

Almost immediately I could see two blobs and I looked at Shrada and she could see it too. Then daddy realised when she asked if we had twins in the family.

There you were. Two gorgeous dancing but cuddling babies. You waved and moved and we heard your faint but strong heartbeats! The nuchal measurements were good. You share the same placenta and amniotic sac!!

Daddy was in shock but so very happy you are ok and mummy always wanted twins so cried with joy!

I then couldn’t contain my giggles and praised God!

Shrada was excited as she rarely gets to see twins. She let us see you in 4d. We could see how much blood you exchanged. We were told you were special and that there are lots of risks but we need to be hopeful and pray lots.

We are so excited to have two beautiful bundles of joy. You both have all your fingers and toes and you already love each other as you cuddle lots!!

We couldn’t wait to tell everyone and so we did! Grandpa and Nanny, Grandma and Grandad and Aunties are so excited too!

We had made a video and had to change it to say there are two of you. We put it on Facebook and over a hundred friends liked it 😄

One of you is 3mm bigger than the other.

You are a type of twin that is 1% of all twins and a chance in 60,000!

You are momo twins… Mcma… Monochorionic monoamniotic twins!
