Within the past few days, I have been able to feel baby body parts above my belly button. I haven't been able to figure out if it is a foot or a knee or something else. But it's one of the most amazing feelings!! It's really hard and if I push on it, it pushes back. I played this little game for about 10 minutes a couple nights ago -- I pushed on the body part and then a few seconds later, it pushed back. I really started wondering if I was ticking the baby off, but he/she kept coming back for more, so I figured it had become quite the fun game for both of us!! I have not been able to figure out which baby I am feeling. They both share the area right above my belly button, so it is really hard to tell.
As for stretch marks, I have not noticed any yet. I must admit, that I am quite surprised. I thought for sure I would have at least a few by now. I cross my fingers and check every day, and every day I have been pleasantly surprised that not a single one has appeared. HOWEVER, I am not getting my hopes up too high that this trend will continue. In fact, I have told myself from the day we found out that there were two babies that I would get them. Therefore, there wouldn't be any disappointments in the end!! Hey, if I grow large enough to have two large, healthy babies, I will wear them proudly!
OB appointment on Tuesday. Probably won't have time to update until Wednesday evening.

My mom swears that using cocoa butter everyday throughout all three of her pregnancies warded off all stretch marks. I have also heard that it is good at keeping them at bay from other friends who have been pregnant.
Good luck at your next appointment.
