8 1/2 weeks ... so cool!

So Matt and I went in for our ultrasound and blood work. We got there early, which was great, but then we had to wait for a bit to see the doctor. Everything is looking wonderful. Our sea monkeys have moved into the inch range (each) and they are starting to lose their "tails". We now have named them "little turkey" and "lizard" ... you will see why in the pictures in a minute.

They have strong heartbeats and are measuring right were they need to be.

Baby A is measuring 8 weeks and 4 days. Baby B is measuring 8 weeks and 3 days. It is just so cool to "watch" our babies on the ultrasound and to hear their little hearts beat.

Baby B did not want to stay still ... but we finally got some pictures of him/her.












Here are the twins together. This is when we were listening to the heartbeats!











Baby A = aka "little turkey" Baby B = aka "lizard"

Because of how babies are at this time in development, their heads are very big and tilted toward their chest. Little turkey's picture is from "behind", so the head is tilted forward. All you can see is his spine and the back of the legs. It was just so funny because the baby really does look like a little turkey (thus the name).

Lizard is named as such because of his little "tail" that will be gone by the end of next week. In the picture it just looks like he/she is saying "Hi Mommy & Daddy!"

We go back every 2 weeks for the next 4 weeks. Our doctor is watching things closely, even though everything is looking extremely well. I am thankful for this because it puts my mind at ease.

Can't wait to post our 10 1/2 week pictures soon! :) Maybe we will have a new "name" for our sweet babies at that point.
