Doc Apt Update - 17 weeks / 4 months

Good Morning! 
Yesterday I had my doctor's appointment for this month.  I am now starting my 5th month (as of yesterday) and more excitingly my 18th week - which for me will be my 1/2 way mark.  Something Ive learned is that twins full term is 37 weeks as opposed to the 40 weeks, and they can be delivered healthy anytime after 35 weeks with the average being 36 weeks.  They run out of room to grow properly as well as I run out of the capability of being able to give them all the nurishments they need to keep growing!  My doctor is fabulous - she says Im growing perfectly and we heard the two heartbeats as well and they sounded good!  In 3.5 weeks we will have the long ultrasound where they look at every part of the babies anatomy - she said it takes about and hour per baby - so to plan on for 2 hours!! 

Also going on in our lives:  Marc is away in CT at a school for 2 weeks. He will be home next Friday.  He has 1- 2 week school in each Jan, Feb and March!  His new job is much different than his previous jobs, so more training!  That leaves me and Sadie here in WI!!  During the past week Ive been finishing up our house to get it on the market.  The original plan was to have it listed on Feb. 1st.  We had a surprise couple that was interested in looking at our house early, so I had to rush and finish painting, cleaning, sorting closests, more cleaning for them to walk thru yesterday afternoon.  I have not heard back yet, but hope to in the next couple days for some feedback!  This was kind of stressful, as I thought we had a few more weeks and the fact that Marc is gone!!  But that is ok - now I can relax for a few days - my house is sparkeling!! 

My doctor said the babies and my belly will really start to take off and grow like crazy as of now, so as soon as Marc gets home Im going to take a few pics and get those posted!
