Busy days

We are learning lots of new things as we grow.

Based on the intensity and quantity of movements we are making, our Mommy is pretty sure this is what we are learning today:

Watch us grow: January edition

Because we are twins, and because we share a placenta, we get ultrasounded frequently. Compare Baby A from January 11 and January 25 and see how much bigger we are!

January 11:


January 25 (the picture is a little blurrier, but compare head size with the previous picture. That's Baby B's arm floating above Baby A's abdomen):


Today our estimated fetal weight was almost 700 grams-- we each weigh about 1 pound 8 ounces! We continue to share our placenta nicely and both have good fluid levels.

We are very active and certain fetuses-- not to name names, but this would be Baby A-- kept kicking the ultrasound probe during our scan today. The poor ultrasound tech had to try 4 times to get a nice view of the heartrate because of all the kicking.

Our next ultrasound is in 2 weeks, and we plan to continue growing in the meantime.

Watch us grow

This is Baby B on December 21, weighing in at about 330 grams (that's 11 ounces)



This is Baby A on December 21, also at about 330 grams.



They checked to make sure all our arms and legs and other parts were forming normally and were growing like they are supposed to-- we passed on all counts!

This is where we live now:



We are scheduled to stay here until May.

See what we mean about our growing prowess?

So far, growing and kicking are pretty much our only talents. We hope to develop more skills in the future.
