33w0d - Weekly update!!

Another week down!   5 weeks max until we meet our sweet babies!!

Had a sonogram today!

Baby A - our girl's estimated weight is 4lb 14oz!  

Baby B - our boy's estimated weight is 4lb 11oz!

She's on the left, facing forward.  He's on the right,
profile view looking to the left - his face
buried in arms and legs.  You can make out his
eye socket, nose, upper lip, lower lip and
cheek if you put your mind to it.  lol

Babies this week:

• Baby's keeping eyes open while awake.
• Baby's also starting to coordinate breathing with sucking and swallowing.
• The bones are hardening.
• And baby's going through (more) major brain development-that's one smart baby!
• Baby weighs about 4.2 to 5.8 pounds and measures about 17.2 to 18.7 inches. And may grow up to a full inch this week

Times TWO!!

30w6d - Weekly update, sono pics, bump pic!

Better late than never!  Tomorrow I'll be 31 weeks but it's never too late to write a 30 week update, right?  LOL

Babies this week:

• Baby's skin is getting smoother.
• But baby's brain is getting wrinklier-to make way for all that essential brain tissue.
• Baby's now strong enough to grasp a finger!
• Your 15.2- to 16.7-inch, 2.5- to 3.8-pound baby continues to grow.

27w0d - Weekly update and sono pics!!

27 weeks!!   Third trimester (at least according to the American Pregnancy Association lol)!!!   >90% viability!!   Next milestone is 30 weeks which it goes up to 95%!  :)   

Had an ultrasound at 27 weeks exactly.  Baby A, our girl, weighed 2lb 8oz.   Baby B, our boy, weighed 2lb 4oz.   

Babies this week:

• Baby's practicing inhaling and exhaling with his or her rapidly developing lungs.
• It's official: Baby's showing brain activity! And the brain will keep on getting more complex.
• At 13.6 to 14.8 inches and 1.5 to 2.5 pounds, baby's not just getting bigger, but also getting smarter.

Baby boy is the only one who showed us his sweet face today.

14w1d - Sono & Announcement!!

We had a sono today that went well!   Both babies looked great and were chillin' / being lazy lol.   Baby A turned for literally seconds (after the sonographer giggling my belly and me fake coughing)  long enough for the sonographer to see her profile and see a nasal bone!  So we dont have to worry about that still!  Phew!  God is SO good.   The sonographer also confirmed my suspition that baby B is our boy and baby A is our girl (at least she thinks.... so do I).   I'm sad that she didn't measure the crown to rump lengths at all.  I was too enthralled to think, so I didn't think about it until we were checking out of the clinic.   They looked way more developed than 2 weeks ago so hopefully they are good!   :)

Without further ado, here are some sonogram photos and the announcement I just posted to Facebook.....
