Our big little babies
I got to see my little peeps today--it was the scheduled visit with the high-tech ultrasound. Hurrah! I hadn't seen the babies for a couple of months.
They're doing great!! The boy is measuring 3 lbs. 11 oz., and the girl is 3 lbs. 8 oz. My cousin was only 2 lbs. when he was born, so that makes me feel really great that they're so big already (week 30).
Our boy is breech, though...he's sitting on my bladder. Still hoping he'll turn!!!! Their little heads are right by each other, the girl is still sprawled out across the top of my belly (and yes, I wasn't imagining things when I felt feet under my ribs). So I bet they're really aware of each other, and that they probably do play with each other (sometimes I'll feel a huge flurry of movement right at that part of my stomach).
And they both were moving a lot, and had good blood flow, strong heartbeats, big bellies, nice brains. The tech said that it looks like our girl will be a gymnast (no kidding!)--for awhile she had her arms and both her legs curled up over her head. But finally she turned and looked at us, and she has the sweetest little face! She looks like a little angel, with big eyes and a sweet little mouth. Our boy was facing my back the whole time, and her head kind of covered his anyways, so we didn't see his face.
I'm so happy!!! I try not to worry, but it's been so long since I've seen them that I sometimes get the "what if" thing going on.
What big little babies! That means I'm carrying the equivalent--or probably more than that counting the extra weight of the placentas and fluid--of a large full-term baby already. I'm so happy, if they were born today, they'd probably get healthy pretty quickly, but it looks like they won't be born for awhile, so that's even better.
I'm so proud of my little guys for growing so big. The printer wasn't working, so we didn't get pics, but they saved them on the hard drive, so hopefully they'll send them to us later (and if they do, I'll post some).

Comments
That is such good news!! I'm learning that our prayers become evident in children. I was talking with a deacon at church once and we were talking about the reproduction rates of our tiny church. He made the comment that its a miracle we don't have more children with more problems at our church. We get very healthy babies that grow up with very few developmental problems. They are all very beautiful too!
Its good to see God is giving an "affirmative" on our prayers for the health of your children.

Aww, Carrie, thanks for praying! I know people's prayers have helped so much along the way. I found out the other day that people I don't even know have prayed for this pregnancy...wow...
