23 Week 4-D Ultrasound

Baby Boy

Baby Girl



Today we got a better glimpse into what our two precious peanuts look like. We had a 4-d ultrasound done at Before the Stork in Anaheim Hills by my good friend, Ashley. Baby girl was the supermodel today as she gave us tons of amazing shots! She was moving like crazy and in a great position for beautiful pictures. Baby girl definitely has her daddy's pouty lips! Baby boy, on the other hand, was quite the sleepy little boy. He yawned for us several times. His little hand was covering his face most of the time, as if to say, "leave me alone people, I'm sleeping!" Baby boy was super snug laying on his placenta like it was a pillow. It was super cute, but didn't allow us the best view of his adorable little face. He did suck his thumb, though, which melted my heart! Both his daddy and Papa Jim were excited by his thumb sucking because it was with his left hand. Ashley said that "they" say that typically the thumb sucking hand ends up being their more dominant hand, so we may have a left handed dribbler after all! We were all amazed by how close they are in the womb. They literally look like they are sharing the same sac, but they aren't. At one point it looked like he was sitting on her and another time she was kicking his head! We had so much fun and are getting so excited! I only have 4 more weeks of work. Continue to keep us in your prayers!

We are in full baby mode now!

Last weekend with the help of my mom and Angela, I registered at Babies r Us. Oh my gosh...so overwhelming! Three and a half hours later, we were finally finished. I couldn't have done it without their fabulous help. I can't believe how much stuff two babies need!

We also ordered all of the furniture last weekend. Our parents were super generous and bought each baby their crib and mattress. It is all so beautiful. These are two very lucky babies!

Ryan started working on the babies' room this past week. He painted the closet and with his dad's help put in closet organizers. Now it just needs clothes in shades of pink and blue to complete it! The picture above is of my poor little princess, Roxi. The babies' room used to be her room. She loved sleeping on the guest bed and recently lost it to the babies. The bed found a new home at my brother's house. We left her dog bed in there, but Ryan moved it into the closet once he started preparing the room for all of the work ahead. We came upstairs one evening to find pitiful Rox sleeping on her bed in the closet!

We are going on Monday to order the babies' bedding from The Baby Guy. Their grandparents are spoiling them again as they are completing the cribs by buying the bedding too! We love Papa Jim, Nonnie, Papa Louie, and Grammy so much!

5 Months!

I don't know if people are just being kind or honest, but for having twins I am getting a lot of comments about how good I look...I sure hope it stays that way! Ryan and I feel like I look bigger every day!

We had our 20 week ultrasound yesterday and both the babies and I are doing fantastic! The doctors are most concerned with the length of my cervix, which was still measuring perfect. We only do the complete anatomy of the babies every 4 weeks, so we just got to see them yesterday. They were both super active, their fluids were great, and their heartbeats were strong! I already love them both so much and can't wait to meet them!

Please continue to keep us in your prayers that we are free of complications and make it to the safe mark of 32 weeks.
