So I wouldn't worry about the softer heartbeat. Sounds like this is how it's supposed to be.<br /><br />And yay for your baby shower and upcoming gender reveal party! I especially love the idea of a gender reveal party. Brilliant! I may steal it when I (finally) get pregnant.<br /><br />I understand your feelings about your SIL and her twins. It is a difficult subject to broach with another person...especially if said person is the mother of aforementioned twins. Hopefully, she'll have some tact and not bring her babies if she decides to come to your shower. I agree that you deserve some attention!samshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04196929017759174547noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2251672835010980424.post-23225441283463406242012-09-12T19:51:23.892-04:002012-09-12T19:51:23.892-04:00I think it would make sense for one to be louder a...I think it would make sense for one to be louder and one to be harder to find, given their placement. I had a lot of trouble finding V's heart beat because of him moving and his anterior placenta. The further away, or more obstructions there are, the harder it will be to find them. I had trouble all the way up to the end! Some days I couldn't even find him, even at 20+ weeks! That was scary! Thankfully I could get him moving... but what I'm saying is that with the placentas and because there are 2 of them, I would not freak out about it right now. I know that's easier to say than to do though!<br /><br />I completely understand not wanting the babies there and wanting your extra party. I say go for it :) And ENJOY! I'm glad you're feeling more positive about things, although I know the fear is going to be there in one form or another the whole time. Personally, I enjoyed things the best I could but I still had doubts up until the moment I heard him cry. It is HARD to go through this after a loss. It is an amazing experience, but that doesn't make what you went through just go away over night. One day at a time though!AnotherDreamerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11487881766884178761noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2251672835010980424.post-76837601285690023482012-09-12T14:23:10.657-04:002012-09-12T14:23:10.657-04:00How fun!

It really depends on how the babies are lying in there. They both can't be in the same position , so they sorta coordinate. When I found them, and yes, it is much easier to find them quicker and more reliably as they get bigger every day, they were usually one louder, one softer. Like I said, one is probably belly back and one is belly front. It makes a big difference. Also, since there are two placentas in there growing like crazy... it's muffled sometimes by that pancake. The babes will most likely settle into a regular position pretty soon if not already. Despite the room they have in there, they are still somewhat stuck in one spot.<br />Not trying to be confrontational regarding the previous post, but having Gabby at the baby shower might even be worse than having the three-mo old babies there as far as people fawning over her. I would hate for it to turn into a "Gabby the Saint party". Ducky deserves a time to shine all on her own. Just my two cents worth.coffee nuthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03137989938361142842noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2251672835010980424.post-56803271472187695792012-09-12T08:15:53.793-04:002012-09-12T08:15:53.793-04:00I find one heartbeat is always louder and easier t...I find one heartbeat is always louder and easier to find than the other. In fact, when I checked a couple days ago it switched and the one that's usually easiest to find was harder that time. So I don't think you have to worry about that. <br /><br />Any chance Gabby could come to your baby shower? That way your babies would be able to be included and be a part of the day!
