When did they start using sonograms? And how did our parents make it through a pregnancy without them?
Our tech said she’d been looking at these fuzzy images for 20 years. All I know is that they’re filled with important details.
Here’s what we got so far:
Two babies. Both healthy. Brains are developing nicely. All organs accounted for. Heart functioning. Diaphragm in place. Long femurs (yeah, buddy). All sizes well within the proper range. All good news. That’s all I remember, it was just amazing to see them. Twin B was sitting in Twin A’s lap.
Week: 23
Pre-born size: Twin A weighs 14 oz. Twin B weighs 17 oz.
Development: Both are very active and have functioning stomachs. Twin A’s heart clocked in at 122 BPM, Twin B was faster at 144 BPM.
Belly:
We’re gonna bypass belly pics for sonogram shots.

Twin A is slightly smaller. Which is pretty perfect, since girls are supposed to be small.
Twin B is slightly larger. B must be for Bigger. And for Boy.
Here’s the girl on her side, looking at you.
And then the boy with the same side view.
Only 17 weeks to May 31st!

Wow, what good news. Healthy and one of each. Grandma Karen will be out tomorrow buying an outfit for each. She could hardly contain herself. She has just been dying to go shopping for baby things. You know, I looked at those pictures and I was sure I could see something that looked like a bicycle wheel in there with the babies. Are they already in training? How about it, Stacey, does it feel like they are riding yet?

Full circles, babies, full circles.
We’ve already joked that the Nationals Cycling events for these kids might be on seperate days. Longer vacations…
I can already tell that they are beautiful. I’m so happy that there’s one of each so no one has to get out voted on anything. It will just be a tie on everything. The thing is that your son will probably go with his mother and your daughter will probably be a “daddy’s” girl. No problem with that! Richard sends congratulations and his love. More nieces, nephews, and cousins is a wonderful thing.
Love to all of you,
Aunt Pam
