Today David and I had our 18 week appointment, and it went very well!!
Jack and Ella were very feisty and didn't want to cooperate for a while, but finally all the measurements were taken. We looked at their brains, hearts, bladders, kidneys, leg bones, arm bones, and stomachs. In the end Jack measured 17 weeks-6 days, 7 ounces; Ella measured 17 weeks-1 day, 7 ounces. Ella is still on top with Jack occupying the "basement" level. My stomach is huge! It keeps growing out instead of side to side.
The last thing the doctor looked at was my cervix; it measured 5.5cm. That is the longest it has ever been. We were soooo excited. I've been cleared to work until the next ultrasound(unless something happens), so again, good news.
We will now have appointments every week and every time I feel the need... Our whole goal now is stability. As long as nothing changes, we will all be happy.
Our next appointment is Tuesday, November 13... if I can wait that long to see them again.

Great news all around. That is a great ultrasound photo. Love that part of pregnancy. Look forward to seeing Jack!
Let's see some pics of that big belly (profile of course)! Keep napping and don't overdo it!
