20 weeks!

Wow somehow we have reached the 20 week mark! This is very exciting, we get an ultrasound at every visit right now, this is really cool because I get to see my baby boys every 4 weeks! It is fun to see how much they have grown. For the record the boys are now 13oz each! Growing well and looking healthy by all the ultrasound pics. Now since these are not our first kids, we do have some experience with pregnancies. I have noticed that my poor wife has reached that uncomfortable stage much quicker than with either of the previous pregnancies. Of course this stands to reason since there are two babies instead of just one. I found some photos of my wife when she was about 8 months pregnant with our daughter. No I won't post them. She would kill me! But the point is her baby belly not quite the same size it was at 8 months with our daughter, but close, it won't be long. My biggest concern as we prepare for these two little guys has been a worry about how we are going to afford daycare. We both work full time and all our healthcare benefits are through my wifes work. With our income level one of us staying home full time is not an option. What we ended up working out with our bosses, is this, my wife will go into work about a half hour earlier than she is now. I will go in about 3 hours later than I do now. what this will work out is that I will be able to stay home with the babies while she works, and then I will go into work after she gets home, and stay til 10:30 pm instead of 8 pm. I will lose about 10 hours but still maintain full time status. this all works out to costing less money than having to pay a daycare provider for watching the boys. This also gives the advantage of the boys being raised by parents instead of daycare providers.
