I sat my desk during the last period of the day and just resting my feet a little – my kids had been taking standardized tests all week so we were watching a video to relax and as I felt our little ones moving, I also notices something that was weird.  My stomach was also moving with the movement of the babies.  I do not remember ever seeing this with Evan – I believe he just was not big enough to make my body show movement.  Or I just do not remember.  So since that has happened I have noticed several times the movement when they are very active.  Kinda crazy, but I guess a given.

At the level two ultrasound we had detailed measurements of both babies taken again – everything came back normal and at the correct size for their ages.  The boy weighed 1lb 3oz and the girl was 1lb 2oz.  The cardiologist also came in and took a close look at both hearts and the blood movement through the hearts (echocardiography) – it was amazing that they could see so much of our little ones already.  That doctor moved quickly though so we could not ask too many questions.  I was laying on the table for about 45 minutes for all of the measures and such – but the regular doctor came in at the end and said everything looked normal from what he could see at this point.  So more good news – makes us happy :).

The profile shot is the boy – great shot.  The scary picture is the girl – the circle on the right is her eyeball.  Because she is on the bottom it is hard to get a good shot of her because of shadows and such – at least that is what they tell us.

137 lb and blood pressure is 132/75 – everything is good – no worries.  No ultrasound this time because of all of the other appointments I have had lately.

Soon after the amniocentesis and Christmas I began to feel our little babies moving – a lot.  The girl moves all the time and the boy moves here and there (his heart rate is lower as well).  I took it as she is going to be active and energetic and he is going to be easy going just like his big brother Evan.  I did have some concerns of course since he was the one with the initial high reading in November – but the doctors keep confirming that thing seem normal.
