Newest baby pictures...

We had a routine OB visit (with the midwife) and ultrasound this morning for the twins. Everything looks great - the babies are growing like weeds and their hearts are still beating nice and strong.

Baby A was our active little one today. He/she was moving and kicking all over the place like a little monkey. He/she is measuring 13w1d (I am currently 13w3d), although his/her head was measuring 13w6d (Aidan always had big head measurements, too).

Baby B was just "hanging out" in his/her little home while his/her brother/sister kicked away at him/her. Daddy made sure to tell the babies he didn't want any broken bones from them kicking each other! =) Baby B is our bigger baby, measuring 13w5d, and his/her head measured 14w1d. I guess all of my babies are destined to have big heads! =)

As for mommy, I'm doing great. Gained more than I would have liked, but the midwife was happy with it (6lbs) so I guess it's okay. Also my blood pressure was nice and low - 100 over 62 (probably because we did the ultrasound first... seeing those two little pumpkins definitely calmed my nerves).

We also heard the babies' heartbeats on the doppler -- one heartbeat was a little faster than the other, but we couldn't distinguish whose was whos. Maybe it means we'll have a boy and girl, like we're hoping. We should find out (as long as the kids cooperate) at our next appointment, July 2nd.
