My how they are growing.....

No picture today, but some interesting news to report! On Friday, I had another ultrasound with the doctor to check the growth of the boys, and to make sure they are growing at about the same rate! Apparently this can be a major concern with twins if one is much smaller than the other. Well, the good news is that they checked out to be exactly the same weight (on Friday, that was 2lbs 14oz per baby). The interesting news is......this is in the 87th percentile for size at this point in pregnancy (50th percentile is average). So in other words, there are two BIG boys in there! I was told today the Blands have big babies.......some of the most recent births were 9 and 10 pounders! Holy moly! That means one ginormous tummy for me! :)

3D/4D Ultrasound!!




Well, we had the 3D/4D ultrasound last night, and it was AWESOME!! Everyone told me it would be awesome, but it exceeded my expectations. We got TONS of pictures, but I just attached a couple for now of their faces. It was pretty interesting how different they acted......she called them baby A and B, and baby A was just chilling out the whole time, stretched out, looking perfectly towards the wand thing. Baby B on the other hand, rarely gave a clear shot of his face, as he was waving arms/legs all over the place most of the time, or was curled into a ball. He also had his butt in baby A's face at one point! Ah, brothers :) I may add more pictures or video later, but here's a couple good shots for now!

Good News to Share!

We have a few good things to share with everyone! First, I passed the PE!! This is a HUGE milestone for work. It's a very difficult 8 hour engineering test that you need to pass to become a licensed professional engineer. I put ALOT of my free time into studying, and since free time's going to be little to nonexistent once these two little ones are in the picture, I needed to pass this the first time. Now I can breathe a HUGE sigh of relief that it's over and done with!











The other good news is, the baby room is ALMOST done!! We have a few other finishing touches to do, but the room is painted and the furniture is in, with the bedding! Nathan and his dad are going build some shelves for the little nook in the room, but that's probably the only other major thing we have to do. We also need to get a nightstand, lamp, and curtains, but I don't think that will be too hard. It's so nice to have it almost done though!

We also have our 3D ultrasound tomorrow, so I will post pictures from that soon!!!
