"Boys, Go apologize to your Mother"

This is the phrase I hear my husband practicing daily!  Yes, I will soon be way out numbered in my house.  We're having boys!  Could that explain the red meat cravings?  I'm growing quite nicely as you can see from the picture below.  And Baby B is growing perfectly as well.  Unfortunatley, Baby A is about a week and a half behind in growth.  So, Mike & I have now been referred to a specialist :( 
Most twins are born with varying weights and sizes, I've heard that they usually balance out within months of life outside of, well outside of me!  However, at 17 weeks it's a little early for them to be such different sizes.  We now have weekly ultrasounds to make sure the weight and length difference don't continue to go in opposite directions.  And I've been asked to restrict my physical activity (ugggh!), lay down whenever possilbe (double ugggh), drink at least a gallon of fluid a day (you know what that means...more time in the bathroom!) and increase my protein to 150 grams a day.  It's been a tough week for Mike and I.  I think he's having more trouble with it than me because he feels so helpless.  My kick- #@$% sister, Casey came over the next day with a protein additive that is flavorless.  I mix it in my food and condiments all day!  Mike & Zane went to GNC and got me some mega-body builder protein shakes that I now drink 2-3 times a day.  I feel like I haven't had a meal for enjoyment all week!  I'm so full of liquids that the protein supplements really are necessary, there is no way I could eat 150 grams of protein without them (I do have two babies in there!!!).  My sister-in-law Kim and several awesome girlfriends are cooking for me. They say it's mostly because Mike completely gutted our kitchen just 4 days before we found out about my new restrictions - but it's also because they're worried and want to help in any way.  I keep reminding everyone that there is no reason to think something is genetically wrong, both babies have all their parts (and we've seen them ALL!) and both babies have equal amounts of fluids in their sacks.  Our next appointment is Tuesday afternoon, hopefully their fluid is the same and Baby A has done some catching up!  We will keep you posted!
