The Johnson Twins 18 Week Ultrasound-Brothers!!!!

We had our "big" ultrasound today. Two boys!!! They evaluated all of their organs, growth, etc. and they are both healthy and active. Both their heartbeats were in the 160s (I think 160 and 164). They are just adorable and we fall more in love with them everyday.

For Grandma


My mom gave me this kitchen towel but it's just too cute to use as one, so I made it into a baby blanket with some soft flannel on the back side. I guess I'm going to need one more towel!

Meeting Dr. Stokes/Beginning of Week 17


We had a doctor's appointment yesterday where we met Dr. Stokes. He is the doctor in the practice who handles high risk pregnancy so we will be seeing him exclusively from here on out. So far I really like him, he is patient and answers all our questions, and seems very knowledgeable. Unfortunately my most recent lab work showed some slight hypothyroidism so I had to start taking some thyroid medication today, but on the up side he said this should give me more energy and lower certain risks for the babes. After a lot searching he was only able to find one heartbeat on the doppler, but said this is common as twins are so close together. The heartbeat was 158 beats/min. We have an ultrasound scheduled for Wednesday so we will get to see them both in just a few days and maybe even find out the sex!

Yogi Babies

We started our prenatal yoga today, holy pretzel mamas. My teacher is a mom, doula, and does hypnobirths, so I feel like the babes and I are in good hands. One of my classmates is due the day after me and another has a set of two year old twins, so I'm making some good connections!

14 Week Ultrasound Peek!!!

Baby A (head to the left) was a bit more shy than baby B (head to the right). I couldn't believe how much they're dancing around in there. I think I've been feeling them a little bit, but it's hard to tell at this point. I could watch this vid all day, they're so cute!
