Update

Ooooo, I have a BLOG!!! 
You thought I forgot, didn't you?
Although I am suffering from frequent baby brain my absence here can best be explained one of three ways:
1. I'm really busy, yo.
2. I feel better. So I'm doing stuff! And getting stuff done! And remembering what it's like to be human! BLISS.
3. Everything I have to share is boring. No really, did you want to know I cleaned the longstanding junk pile off my counter? Didn't think so.
4. I stink at mysterious. Also, I loathe mysterious. With Leo's job, I have been gently reminded that revealing information about our lives can be dangerous to both him and to me. This is so counter to my nature, although I believe in privacy in a family, there is so much that I am comfortable sharing that is just not ok to share when you are married to Leo. I'm bad at that part, but I'm working on it.
Outside of those four things I can tell you Red and Green are super. The doctors are very happy with how they are growing and developing and with how my body is holding up. My weight gain is just inside the target range and we've had no issues so far. I am able to feel them move more all the time and not only does it reassure me they are ok, it is just the BEST. DURN. THING. about pregnancy. Red's placenta is posterior (in the back) so it is easy to feel him/her move, but Green's is in the front and I feel him/her less. It kind of bums me out that I feel like I'm getting to know one of them more than the other, but I'm sure as they grow I'll feel Green more.
Because they are in separate sacs, and have had completely separate placentas from the beginning the doctors believe them to be fraternal twins. If they are the same gender, we won't know for sure unless their blood type is different when they are born, or unless we get DNA tests done. Isn't that wild? I think it's funny that we wouldn't know if they are identical or not.
It appears the heartburn I had with Joel may be reappearing, I hope that means two more munchkins with heads full of hair. I was bald until I was 2, I think I might be emotionally scarred. I refuse to cut off my long hair, so hopefully my babies won't have this issue and will be slightly more flexible with their stylists.
Honestly though, the biggest news is how good I feel. I didn't realize how miserable I was until I felt better, really. It's been a week now, here's hoping for 18 more!
(I'm betting the kiddos show up around 39 weeks, just a hunch.)
(OH! And pictures soon, I promise!)
