Week 17 Ultrasound

So, yesterday was pretty much amazing. I remember the day we made the appointment and thinking, ah man, a whole month until we have to wait? Well, it flew by! The ultrasound yesterday was like a physical for the babies. They measured all sorts of things like the head, the shoulder to elbow, knee to hip, they looked at everything too. They looked for the kidney's looked at the heart, the spine...everything! They checked for cleft lip, club feet etc. It was about an hour and a half that we were in there.
It's so surreal. Actually seeing them and seeing them move, its very surreal. Seeing their little hearts beating. It's magical. One was even sucking it's thumb and my heart melted. I could just watch the ultrasound all day. Yesterday she asked if we wanted to record it so we said of course!
Baby A was the first one up and was, because of his position, (keep in mind we did not know it was him at the time) was just super hard to measure. It took her a while with him.
Baby B on the other hand was so cooperative and the nurse was just loving her (which we didn't know was a her either).
It was so cool to see how big they have gotten! 8 oz each! So I have 1 pound of babies in me! They are a lot more cramped these days too :) But they probably love it.
The Dr's (we saw 2) said everything looks just great and they were really happy with what they saw. They said there were no abnormalities! Praise God! That was the best news of all. Finding out what they were was just the icing on the cake!

Please continue to pray that they continue to grow healthy and strong.

Here are some pics of the lil cuties:

I don't really understand these pictures. I've been looking at them for like 10 min and I can't see the babies. BUT -- I'm SO happy you're having a boy AND a girl! How cool!!!!
