I can't believe I forgot these nuggets in my last post! Something else I learned from the Multiples class was that the reason that babies have opposite schedules of their mother's when they are first born is because when they are in the womb during the day is when I'm walking around, getting up, and the womb makes a "swaying" motion like a cradle putting them to sleep. When you sit down or lay down for bed is when it is still so it no longer has them sleeping, they think it's time to play! I never put those two thoughts together but I thought it was pretty interesting. Maybe that "waddling pregnant lady" thing has something to it, we are making a natural swing for them inside.
The second nugget is that Dr Lynch has a very excellent track record of predicting babies prior to their birth. She even predicts in the womb with multiples each one, not just "one boy and 2 girls" but "baby A is this, Baby B is this, Baby C is this". So, of course yesterday after she measured and listened to the heartbeat she was very certain that Baby A (on the left side, closest to the cervix) is a boy. Unquestionable she said that it would be a boy. Baby B (on the right side, sitting higher) she thinks may be a girl but she is not as certain on that one. Her nurse said it would be 2 girls, but Dr Lynch quickly corrected her and told her there was 1 boy in there for sure. So, we may have a purple situation growing in my belly.
And, Todd and I finalized our top baby boy name and top baby girl name yesterday at dinner. They are fantastic. And they are staying in our heads until the babies are here :)
