Our Handsome and Squirmy Boys

We had another ultrasound today; one of the advantages to having multiples means getting more ultrasounds!  They are both growing so well, perfectly.  They both weigh 1.5 lbs. and are still measuring right on track.  Baby A measures 2 days ahead and Baby B measures right on track for today (23 wks, 5 days).  She measured their thigh bones and it looks like Baby A is going to have long skinny legs like his Daddy.  Baby B's might be a little shorter (squatty like Mommy!).  They have been moving around so much, so it's fun to see ultrasounds and know exactly what I feel.  It seems there is a lot of foot-in-face going on!  One of the pictures is of Baby B's foot kicking Baby A's head.  I felt sorry for A at first until she focused in on B and I could see that he's getting his fair share of foot-in-chin from his brother!

B woke me up last night.  I try to stay on my side when sleeping, especially my left side for better oxygen and blood flow.  Neither the babies nor myself get as much oxygen if I'm lying on my back.  Apparently B doesn't like it when I sleep on my back either.  He squirmed more last night when I was on my back than any other time I've felt him! 

We are so anxious for these sweet boys to be here.  I can't believe I only have 3 weeks left in my 2nd trimester.  The weeks are flying by and with each one that passes that means a week closer to safe, healthy babies.  I'm still continuing to pray for 36 weeks &/or 5.5 lbs. each (please pray that with me, if you would).


Baby A looks like he's blowing bubbles!


Look at that sweet face!

 The ultrasound tech wrote that he's yawning, but I think he looks like he's laughing!
