Here's Our Nursery!

Our latest appointment

We are now 33 1/2 weeks along!!! We had another ultrasound and doctor's appointmet today and everything is looking good. "Baby A" is 4 lbs 8 ozs and "Baby B" is 4 lbs 12 ozs. The other interesting news that we recieved from the ultraound was that Baby A has decided to do a sommersault and is now head down and ready to go! Here's a picture of Mom at 33 weeks - those boys sure are growing!

Our Hospital Adventure

Here is a brief recap of what we have been up to for the last week... On Monday April 28th, we went into the doctor's office for what was supposed to be our regular 30 week check up and ended up in the hospital in preterm labor. After a pretty scary 24 hours, the doctors were able to control the contractions and thankfully our boys are still tucked away inside! On Friday we were able to come home with Alison on bedrest. So begins the next chapter of waiting for our boys to arrive! Thanks so much for all of your prayers and support.

26 Weeks and Growing!

The Big Scan

So at about 22 weeks babies get "The Big Scan". At this ultrasound a baby, in our case the babies, get measured and checked for healthy growth and the presence of abnormalities. Well our Boys are looking and sounding good. Their heartbeats registered at around 150 bpm. Their growth was not only on target but acutally a few days ahead of schedule. See below for measurement charts:

Now due to their increasing size the ultrasound techs have difficulty in fitting an entire body into a frame. Due to not being able to see a whole body or even a good head to rump shot we are no longer able to give those measurements. So anyway, here are a couple of the more photogenic shots at our 22 week utlrasound.





The Babies were confirmed Boys at about 22 Weeks!

The Big Top

Alison and the boys at 18 weeks!

At our 18 week ultrasound the boys were measuring in at about 13cm from head to rump, which is about 5.25 inches or about the length of a soda can! Their hearts were doing fine beating at around 144 BPM. At the time one of the boys (A) was in a presenting position and the other (B) was lying higher and transverse. As noted below in a previous entry they are both boys!

The lovely and beautiful Alison at 19 weeks!
