12 weeks

We had another ultrasound this week. The babies are laying butt to head and seeming very comfortable. One does seem to be pretty active and the other (baby B) was sleeping...so much that when the Dr. tried to get her to move she would wave her one hand and keep her other arm over the eyes. Chad decided that was the redhead since she was being so determined ... The Dr. was able to get the measurements he needed and said that evey thing looks great. He did say that he thought the babies might be identical based on the thickness of the surrounding membrane but we won't be able to tell for sure until they are born as we missed the window of opportunity to find out during the pregnancy.

We did get to see our first 3-d ultrasound which is pretty cool. As they get a little older we'll be able to see more and more detail, almost to the point of knowing what they'll look like. This is a full shot of baby A, with arm across the head and you can see the top of Baby B's head in the bottom Right hand corner.
Baby A chillin'
Both babies
We also got a little video...

I know I don't have any pics of just Baby B, but like I said, she was being pretty stubborn. I'm saying he/she randomly at this point. We won't acutally know the sex for a few more weeks, but it feels wrong to say "it". Hope you enjoy the pics, I'll try to keep it up. With twins I get an ultrasound at least once a month, so it will be pretty fun to watch them grow!

There is just too much going on at your house!! Congratulations to Chad on his promotion. Those pics of the babies are something else. Bet we don't see Grandma Margie around for hunting season this fall and probably the same for Doug. How great that you will have the summer off. And the birthday party looked like so much fun.Q just had her birthday last week. An M&M cake with chocolate ice cream with M&M's, her favorites.It was 18 here this AM with snow and wind; your classic Eastern Oregon "spring!" Take very good care of yourself. Jan
