Here are some 4D pic from our sono.
It's amazing how detailed they are!!

A profile shot of our baby girl!

She was literally folded in 1/2 during the whole sonogram!
That does NOT look comfortable!!

Look at those chubby cheeks!!

Here's a shot of our baby boy!
She got a little close & cropped his nose a bit.
We'll have to see if we can get some better shots at the next visit.

He's going to take after his daddy with those LONG legs!
Poor sister didn't have much room with him all stretched out.
Aren't those feet CUTE!?!!?

Week 19

I felt the babies move for the first time this week...

just little nudges right now - it's AWESOME!! :)
We went back to the doctor & they're both growing well.
We have a 4-D sonogram scheduled for next week.
We can't wait to see their more detailed features!

Here's Bryan with one of our very first baby gifts - Thanks, Lova!

Daddy's geared up & ready to go!

Michelle with our travel seat from Cathy.

It attaches right to the table & is so cute!

Week 15

What an exciting day!! We went back to the doctor

today & found out that we're having...

a BOY and a GIRL!!

We are so blessed! They are growing well,

nice and healthy, & SO fun to watch!

I'm still super tired & trying to get better about

going to bed early, but otherwise feel great!

We go back next month for our next appointment.

11 weeks

We had our first appointment with my regular OB this morning.

Babies are doing great - each one is about 1 3/4 inches long!

I'm still feeling well. The only thing I haven't been able to handle is orange juice - it makes me puke - so I stay away from it.

I'm definitely not fitting in my regular clothes very well,

so I've been shopping a little.

We go back in 1 month for another check-up.

9 weeks

Our babies are doing great & growing well -

they're each about 1 inch in length!

The fertility specialist released us today,

so no more trips to Shreveport!

We'll now be seeing my regular OB in Longview.

This is the best shot we ended up getting with them together.

They weren't very photogenic today :(

Dr. London had one good shot with both of them together, then we watched as baby B "wiggled" away from view before he captured it - it was really cute to see one of them move, though!

Here's baby A...

... and baby B

8 weeks

I'm still feeling great! Really tired & hungry all the time, but have been able to avoid any serious nausea so far. While on vacation in Colorado last week I found that my clothes no longer fit well, so it looks like we'll be shopping sooner than later...

(From one of our pregnancy books) Our babies are 1/2 - 3/4 inch long! Eyelid folds are forming on the face & nerve cells in the retina are beginning to develop. The tip of the nose is present and ears are forming. In the heart, the aortic & pulmonary valves are present & distinct. Tubes leading from the throat to the functioning part of the lungs are branched, like the branches of a tree. The body's trunk area is getting longer & straightening out. Elbows are present, & the arms & legs extend forward. Arms have grown longer. They bend at the elbows & curve slightly over the heart. The digital rays, which become fingers, are notched. Toe rays are present on the feet.
