pictures!

these pictures are from our 6 week ultrasound. although we had an ultrasound today we didn't get any pics to take home. we have another appt at 12 weeks, but I don't think there will be more pics until 16 weeks which seems like forever away at this point.

since they're only 6 weeks old, they need a bit of explaining...




So, the gray fuzziness is the uterine cavity background. the two black spaces are the babies' amniotic sacs. pretty clearly two of them there, eh? then, on the left most picture you can see some white in one of the sacs, that's baby #1. baby #2 was hiding from teh camera; pic 3 is baby #2 from a different angle being measured. still hard to see, trying to blend in by hanging out at the edge. if it's still looking fuzzy to you, here's a diagram of twins at 8 weeks.
our appt was at exactly 6 weeks and baby #1 measured at 6 weeks 1 day, heart rate 105.63 bpm. Baby #2 measured at 5 weeks 6 days, heart rate 96.15 bpm. apparently those are good numbers.
off to sneak in a little nap now before my next kid comes for tutoring. poor blake. I used to occasionally clean or take care of bills and such on Wednesdays. now I just nap. yawn.

  2. :) Soo cute! Also I got pictures 10, 14, and 20 - and if they have the machine there and you see a printer - just ask - takes no time for them to print - and heck doesn't hurt to ask - worst they say is no. ;-)
