ultrasound pictures

I think I have more pictures of the twins than I do of august at this point with all the ultrasounds I've gotten.  They always give me a bunch of print outs of random body parts, most of which I cannot even make out.  I do have a few good ones of their faces that I wanted to share.  I don't have a scanner, so I just tried to take pictures of the pictures with my camera.  Not the best quality, but it's the best I can do.  Hopefully you can figure out what you're looking at...it's not easy.

This first one is hard to make out, but it looks like one baby is punching the other in the face.  The one of the right is a profile shot of baby A from May 5 (27 weeks).


Here is a 3D image of one of their faces from April 7 (23 weeks). 

And here are two more 3D face shots, baby B on the left and baby A on the right.  Both were taken May 5 (27 weeks).

WOW!! that is some belly. You look great.. so how is August reacting to that big belly? Is he ready to be a big brother? I don't know how you do it with a one year old..Sarah and Lauren get a kick out of seeing pictures of my big belly. Sarah was 7lbs and Lauren was 6lbs 6oz. Love the 3D ultrasounds. Wish I had those. Have you thought about what you are going to do to help you to be able to tell them apart? It was my first fear when I learned I was having twin girls.How about names, or do we have to wait? Hugs and Kisses to everyone. Aunt Jill

Aunt Jill,

August is pretty much clueless (poor guy). I talk to him about his baby sisters every day and try to get him to interact with my belly, but I don't think he's old enough to understand what's about to happen. He just likes to push in my belly button (since it sticks out now) and blow raspberries :) I think he'll be a great big brother once he gets used to the initial shock. It's definitely been hard being pregnant and taking care of August, but thankfully he's a pretty independent kid. My husband has been pitching in a lot more lately too.

I can't believe how big your girls were. How did you do it? That's amazing. I'll be ecstatic if my girls make it past 5.5lbs. They've been measuring really small since the beginning and I haven't been gaining as much weight as I would like.

I need to come up with a plan to tell them apart. I've heard people recommend painting one girl's toenail. What did you do?

I WISH I had names picked out! Justin and I can't seem to agree on names we like. It would be really great to be able to talk about them by name already (like when one has the hiccups or one kicks me). Mia, Jovi, Soren, and Ember are my favs.

Thanks for keeping up with us on here. Love you!
