Pregnancy
Okay I finally got a chance to scan the photos! 
They are both measuring exactly according to dates, which is great! The ultrasound tech said they looked perfect! 
I found out that I have two placentas, which some think means they are fraternal but actually they can still be identical, it all depends on when the split occured in the instance of identicals. I have had tons of family members and friends asking me questions so I made a little website with information on twins. You can check it out HERE if you want! I am just so happy to hear that they are doing so well, I had been worried with not eating very much and wondering if I have been drinking enough water. The doctor said whatever I’ve been doing, keep doing it because they look great! I’ve now gained 18lbs total and at 20w2d my uterus is measuring at 28w!!!
Baby A is head down on my right side and Baby B is head up on my left. We have decided to name them Emma Claire and Ava Grace. Emma being Baby A and Ava being Baby B.
Here’s the pics! We also got a video of the entire ultrasound. Baby B’s gender shot is not very clear on the pic but is very obvious on the video!
Thank you SO MUCH for all the congrats!

Aaaw two little girls, how lovely for you! Love the names you picked, (Ava is on my list at the moment too)- and they sound really nice together. The shots of them are fantastic, I hope mine are that great (I still have 5 loooong weeks to find out what mine is)!!

I love the names you picked out for them. They are classic and elegant. Are you ever going to use the newer 3-D ultrasound??

Cute names!! If the one I’m expecting right now is a girl we’re naming her Ava! So, good choice!

Thanks!
Emma and Ava are both really poular names it turns out! I didn’t know that when I picked them, I didn’t look in baby name books or on websites, they just came to me and sounded really good. Guess I should have looked them up before falling in love with them! They are #1 and #3 on the most recent list of “Most Popular Baby Names”. Hopefully no one I know in person will also name their baby either of those names though!
