Boys vs. Girls

We had an ultrasound last week. The verdict is in. H realized that we are going to have an odd number of people in our family and one gender will outnumber the other. Life's been good as far as she could see it, since for the last 2 yrs the girls have outnumbered the boys. But, H was disappointed with our answer when we came home that day. The boys are now ahead. Both babies are boys.
D thinks these 3D images are somewhat creepy, they are a little strange I must admit, but no more than the 2D ones of the baby's skeleton! We did learn something about the imaging rounds off the view of things, or could completely cut parts out of the picture. This is freaky when you look at the baby and it appears there's only one arm, or his head is shaped really funny. It's just the 3D thing, the babies are both looking perfect! Anyways, this is baby A to the left. He looks cramped but seems to be happy curled up. So far in all the ultrasounds he's had his hands by his head. Baby A is head down and in a vertical position with his feet close to my ribs. Baby B is in the next picture. He seems to be a little more stretched out. He's actually lying horizontally across my stomach with his head on my left side and feet on my right. The two got into a kicking match during the ultrasound. We've already had Jacob and Esau mentioned to us as names, but we have no intention of using those names. :) The boys were both measuring a week ahead in size, and only a couple of grams different from one another. The last picture is Baby B's feet. I just love baby feet. I can't imagine a fully formed foot probably only half an inch in size!

These are wonderful! I looked into getting 3D u/s when I was pregnant with Lolo and it was like $300! Crazy! Happy Thanksgiving, Kelly Fam!
