Weeks 21 and 22

I am again doing two weeks in one as they have both been very uneventful as far as the pregnancy goes. I am feeling a lot more movement on the outside of my stomach now. It is so amazing to see it move with each kick and hiccup. I love laying in bed at night and just feeling the movement as they grow.

Here is some info at 21 weeks:

Twin Pregnancy Week 21

Your babies' arms and legs are becoming more porportionate to their body, and their skin is getting less and less transparent.

Your babies' white blood cells which fight infections are developing as well.

You are probably getting tired and need your rest. Put your legs up whenever possible to help with fluid retention.

Your uterus is probably measuring a few weeks larger than week 21.

Week 22:

Twin Pregnancy Week 22

Your babies' eyebrows, eyelids and fingernails are fully formed by now. Even though your twin babies have eyes now, their irises lack pigements at this stage.

They are beginning to look more like newborns but only weigh about 1 pound each.

Your babies' hearing is getting sharper every day. If you like talking to them go right ahead. It is amazing how they will recognize your voice once they are born.

Have you thought about names now? If you do not know the gender of the babies you need to come up with 4 lovely names. (Even if you do kow the babies genders, you still should have 4 names in mind in case of a mistake in gender recognition.)
