Week 28 ~ Pictures

Even though the ultrasound appointment ended with the trip to the hospital, the pictures have been the best to date! There were quite a few, but many were very similar, so here are our favorites.

Extra rare siting, Gracelin showing her face. 

The dome next to her arms is Isabella's head. :)

Isabella also showing her face.

Adding to the shape of her head, it looks

like she may also have her daddy's chin & nose.

Gracelin laying on her arms.  

It looks like she also may have her daddy's chin,

not sure yet on her nose since we haven't gotten a good imagine yet.

On the Right is Isabella's profile & on the Left is Gracelin's foot

which Iz is about to use as a paci!

Baby Bump

Week 25

Highlights this week included:

• Glucose test - passed with flying colors :)
• 3D/4D ultrasound
• Gracelin weighs 1lb 13oz
• Isabella weighs 1lb 15oz
• Increased contractions
• Now seeing doctor weekly

Kenny snapped this gem right after I finished chugging the glucose drink, which I can sum up with 1 word - YUCK!

Baby Bump 

Oldie but a Goodie!

I wasn't able to post this video before, but with my new laptop I can!

Kenny and I thought we would find out the genders at our 15 week ultrasound (at this point we thought we were at 16 weeks, almost 17), which is why took the video. We didn't find out the genders this week, but the video is still really fun to watch. :)

Ultrasound: Week 15 (W15:D6)

Bottom bunk

You can see: Full body area, part of both arms, part of both legs.



Ultrasound: Week 13 (W13:D3)

The babies were really challenging to see this week. They were in funky positions (perpendicular to one another) which made capturing their image really difficult.

We only got 1 picture this week, but we did also got to hear their heartbeats for the first time. It's great of the top bunk but unfortunately, not so great of the bottom bunk. Top bunk: You can see the mouth, nose & a hand near their mouth.



Ultrasound: 9 Weeks (W8:D6)

These are the first pictures ever taken of the babies!

This was the first image I saw when the ultrasound began. Before the doctor could say a word, I knew we were having twins. This was confirmed 1 second later when he said, "Well, you're having twins." :)
