Update (finally!) with pictures

Oh my, I can't believe how long it's been since I added my last post! I am really slacking. Sorry! I've been rebuked by a couple friends already, so I'd better update my blog! :) I have a good reason though...I spend 8 hrs./day 5 days/week in this room at my work computer (right behind me), using the very same chair I am sitting in right now. So, staying in this same room and simply turning my chair around to my home computer after being on the computer all day is not the most appealing thing. Thus, my delay in blog posts & email replies.

Now that I have explained, onto the fun stuff!
Here's the video I sent out via email several weeks ago, with my ultrasound from the 10-week mark on 2/12/09:

(if you can't see the video, here is the link: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6mZmGdJeRk8)


If you can't tell from the video (as I know these are hard for some people to decipher), we are having TWINS!!! We are very excited, can't wait to find out if it a boy/boy, girl/girl, or girl/boy! We'll find out in about 3 weeks.

So, we knew we were having twins from the very first ultrasound at the end of January. I emailed out the photo with just the one twin, but we knew then during that visit there were 2. Our Dr. recommended waiting until the 10-week mark to say anything though, because sometimes one of the twins will "fall off" or be "reabsorbed"...strange phenomenon, but we decided to wait to be sure before sharing this amazing news!

Below are a couple of the most recent photos from 3/2/09 (12 & 1/2 week mark). The first picture is a 3D ultrasound, and you can really see the features of the tiny face, may be sucking their thumb, and little legs...SO cute, huh? The 2nd picture is the other baby, who for a while had their back to us (it was amazing to see such detail on the entire spine!), and just when I was about to say they were being "camera shy" they flipped & gave us a nice profile shot, even smiling...you can see the features of the face pretty clearly. It was cute, the baby alsy put their arm up & looked like they were waving! Wish we had captured that shot, but I have it in my memory. Signing off for now...more to follow! Goodnight!
