Week 8 Appointment

Today I had an 8 week check up with the doctor. Everything still looks great. Baby "B" scared me for a minute. You can see on the video that it looks very different from "A" and appeared very small at first. However, it turns out it was just hiding from us. Once we got a view of it, it measured exactly the same as Baby "A"--which is perfect! :-) YAY, what a relief!




They have grown SO MUCH in just a week! It is absolutley amazing to witness this change. I know the pictures and video don't do it much justice...but it's better than nothing. Baby A was so big when we first saw it. You could see the heartbeat, the head defined, arm buds, and the spine!! Last week it looked like a piece of rice!! It's soo miraculous!

My mom-instinct is telling me that I'm having two BOYS! I'll claim it now. haha. However, Elliot is pretty insistent that it's two girls...and her intuition has been pretty good so far. We'll see. Just had to throw my guess out there.




BABY A (I know this probably looks like a blob to you-but the top is the head, the arch the spine along the right side, and the little bump in the center-left is the arm!!)




















BABY B

Well, my intuition was VERY right... yours may be, too! Of course, I still can't believe that Elliot was right about there being TWO babies in there! ;) So amazing to me!!

Take care of you and those precious cherubs! :)

I am so glad that you are blogging this. I love checking it to see how you and the babies are doing. God is truly amazing!! Praying for you guys all the time. I had dreams about what both of our kids were and I was right. Stick with it!!

I'm loving all of this! I'm so very excited for you and it's amazing to see the miracles growing. It truly is amazing!!

Well... the good news is that either you're right or E's right. Or, maybe you're both right & it's one of each. :)

Congratulations on your precious gifts!! WOW...God is soooo good!

We are on our way to Ft Bragg. We plan to get there on the 14th. We are visiting family on our way. We vacationed on our way to see family in Tokyo, San Fran, Las Vegas and the Grand Canyon. It was somewhat of a marathon vacation.

Again, congrats,

Much love, Jeanna
