Okay, so update on our little nuggets...they done been SUPER SIZED! Yep, these boys are biggins. That's the overall message from all of the ultrasounds you have been missing out on...apparently we make big babies (for twins anyway).
So far every appointment we have gone to the boys have measured up by at least one week, sometimes closer to two! Which is rare for twins. Usually twins are small. These boys are above average for singleton babies, let alone for them being twins!
But we will take it! We love healthy babies. And since we know they are going to come early, bigger is better. Even if that means no room in the inn - er, belly - for mom's internal organs!
The black and white ultrasounds we have every two weeks all look pretty similar...so I won't torture you with all 20 pictures! But here are the latest pictures of our super sized nuggets.
Baby A's profile - his hand is always close to his face!
And for those who told us we better buy a couple girl outfits, just in case...these twins are definitely lil BOYS! They have NOT been shy about showing us!
Baby B's profile
Baby B's little mouth - the ultrasound tech told us he was giving us kisses :)
And yes, Baby B - definitely a boy too!
At one of our ultrasounds back in July (yes, it has been far too long since updating...) we even got to have a 3D ultrasound! Talk about weird/awesome/creepy/amazing all at the same time! It is neat to see them, but they look like little clay creatures...which I am still undecided on if that is cool or creepy. You be your own judge! Here's the pictures:
Baby A's little face from the front
Baby A's profile - if you look closely right above his nose
you can see Baby B's foot.

Baby B's profile - this one you can see his ear
This is my favorite picture! Baby B's profile, with his hand touching his face...but the other hand that looks like it's touching is actually Baby A's. They are buddies already!
Amazing what technology does. I love getting to see our nuggets every two weeks. It has been so fun. Consistently, both babies have their hands up by their face. Baby A has been head down for most of the time and Baby B is breech....putting him in the perfect position to kick his brother in the head. Which he does...a LOT! I've seen it on the ultrasound more than once! It always makes me giggle.
At our last doctor's appointment, Baby A was measuring a full two weeks ahead! He weighed 2 lbs 11 oz and was in the 80th percentile for size. And again...that's the 80th percentile for one baby. He'd be off the charts for twins!
Baby B was 5 days ahead, weighing 2 lbs 8 oz. He was in the 57th percentile. Crazy that 3 oz makes that big of a difference. Plus, Baby A has an enormous head. (Lucky me that he will be the one to come first!)
We have another doctor's appointment tomorrow, and have more details to share with ya'll then. We will see what surprise awaits us at this appointment...because we haven't ruined that streak yet. Still something surprising at every appointment. Sometimes happy surprises like 3D ultrasounds, other times, stressful surprises like no more working! We'll keep ya posted...
