Cuddle Time

Here is our baby girl B. I love this picture of her snoozing. The 3-D pictures are really fun. We get to see the most adorable faces. Just after this picture was taken, she made a really cute pucker face, like someone had given her a taste of lemon. Hopefully we'll be able to get the 3-D pictures every time. It just depends on which ultrasound machine my doctor uses. The girls are growing and kicking more everyday.

Playing hard to get!

Here is our little baby girl A. She kept hiding behind something (arm, leg, sister's leg . . .) during the ultrasound, so the tech couldn't get a very good picture. Don't worry, she doesn't have the measles. :)

What tummies are for

So, just a funny story.
The other day James and I are sitting on the couch. He's eating a cookie when he decides that he doesn't want to hold it any more and he doesn't want to throw it away. He looks around for a suitable storage place. Waa-La! Mom's belly! He promptly places his cookie on my very convenient "shelf". What else are bellies for?

Yum, these fingers taste yummy!

Ok, so really this should have been the last picture I added, but I keep forgetting that the posts show up in reverse order. I just wanted to add this picture of baby girl B because it was so cute. If you look closely at her profile, her mouth is open and her hand is right in front of her mouth. She kept sucking on her fingers during the ultrasound. She just kept opening and closing her mouth and sucking on her fingers. So, cute!

Baby girl A--aka: rib kicker

Here is Baby Girl A Jochim at 25 weeks. She weighs in at 1 lb. 12 oz.--a little bigger than her sister. The ultra sound tech said they will probably keep flip-flopping on weight because they are so close in size. She did her fair share of gymnasts this time around, but not quite as much as her sister. See my notes on twin B. She is currently head down--thus making her the guilty party who is kicking me in the ribs!! My doctor will deliver me at 38 weeks unless I go into labor sooner. They don't stop labor after 34 weeks--so that gives me a potential due date of June 13th-July 11th. Nice and exact, huh?! The girls are growing nicely and getting more active every day.

Blowing bubbles

Here is baby girl Jochim B. She's our little gymnast. During the ultra sound she just couldn't keep still and really made the ultrasound tech earn her wages! She weighs in at 1 lb. 10 oz. this week. Which is right on for 25 weeks. She kept putting her little bum in her sister's face (thank goodness for that placenta membrane, as Grandma Sarah said!) Her sister had no problems trying to push that bum out of the way. The "bubble" is actually an umbilical cord--whose I don't know. She was romping around during the last ultrasound (I've had 6) as well. I guess we better start tumbling class asap with this little chickadee!

25 Weeks and counting!

Here I am at 25 weeks! We have made the big move up to Washington and are finally getting settled in. For those of you who hadn't heard we decided to move up here about 3 weeks ago. Sacramento didn't work out for us and we wanted to move before I got toooo far along. We'll be living with my parents until the girls arrive and then find a place of our own. I'm very excited to have help with James, especially since I'm growing bigger every day--as Justin likes to remind me by speaking to me in "whale" like Dory (sp?) from Nemo. I'm only actually measuring around 4 weeks bigger than a single pregnancy. My parents have been very good to let us commandeer the basement and James is beside himself at finally having a backyard complete with a Nemo pond!
