Baby Update

Hi All,

Sorry it's been a while since we have updated the blog. We have had lots to do lately it seems. We have some updated photos of the Sonogram that Val had last Thursday on my Birthday. It was a great Birthday gift to see the boys on that day. You can see the pictures below.
Nothing new to report from our visit other than they are growing as expected apparently. Last time we went to the doctor they couldn't get good measurements on twin Bs heart so this time they were able to get it because he was cooperating a little better. Baby B is a little smaller than BabyA but nothing to worry about doctors say. Babies grow at different rates and hit growth spurts at different times. So far all looks good.
Val and I have been working on getting the baby room up and running still. I still have another coats of trim paint to do and then we can clean the wood floor up and then we can look for a rug for the room. Meanwhile we are still trying to figure out how we are going to fit everything into the room. :) We are trying to hold off and buying too much of the furniture etc. until last minute so we can pay for as much with cash as possible and we can finish the room up.
Val has been feeling well for the most part. Everyone asks how she is doing and she always says she is doing fine. She is a champ and is doing well with all the adverse bodily issues you deal with as a pregnant woman. I still find it funny to look at her belly and see it so big. Its amazing. Oh, I almost forgot, we had something cool happen this week. We were sitting down relaxing and Val could feel something hard being pushed on here belly. We figured out it was a knee or foot. It was pretty cool to feel it. We usually just feel the kicks and such. This time we could feel the bone setting there right next to her belly. Was pretty neat.
The boys continue to be active inside her belly. They are jumping beans when Val eats things like Strawberries and apparently the first couple hours while she is at work. The sparkle in Vals eye when she feels them play around is priceless. She loves it.
My Birthday was quiet and nice. Got to spend it with Val alone and I almost had her eating a Steak. It's coming sometime I can tell. Val got me a super fun gift for my B-day. She got me a Playstation 2 with FIFA 2006 and SOCOMII (a soccer game and a navy seals game). Really cool gift huh!
Anyway, I hope this finds you well. Check back for more.

BabyA Stretching: He looks deformed but it is just the image.

Baby B was in a little more of a tight place so the pictures werent as clear.

Shots of both of their heads.

Baby A was cooperating to get a good profile

This is one of Baby B straight on of his face.

These are shots from the heart rate monitoring. The dotted line going through the baby is going throught the heart of the baby and monitoring. You can see the 4 chambers if you look close enough. You are basiclly looking at a cross section of the babies chest through the heart.
