I'm looking forward to my next appointment on Wednesday. I'll be far enough along then that I'm hoping the doctor will be able to tell the sexes. I'm really getting spoiled; every time I go in I get an ultrasound, and pictures and video to take home with me. I don't know what I'm going to do in a normal pregnancy later on, without that constant reassurance. High-risk is becoming normal to me; I don't know anything else. We've been able to tell, though, that the babies definitely aren't sharing sacs. This is good; monoamniotic twins, as it's called, is actually very dangerous. The key sign will be if they are sharing a placenta, but they won't be able to tell until later on.
