Week 17... baby 2 revealed!

Today was another ultrasound, which was exciting except for the fact that David was in Wisconsin on business. Fortunately, mom was able to come with me...

The babies looked great on the ultrasound with both babies rolling around and kicking. Claire, of course, took the lead which gives us some insight to her future personality. As soon as David gets home, we'll put the pictures on another entry.

Claire is also about 4-5 days bigger than her sister... Oh yeah, Claire now has a "real" counterpart instead of just "Woody" or baby B; we would like to introduce Grace to everyone (with a 75% certainty). The tech couldn't give me a 100%, because Gracie is much more private than Claire. She turned at one point just giving us a glimpse, but if I had to say... "It" looked exactly like Claire's, so I think I'll continue to buy pink.

I am exciting, but a little disappointed... A little David would have been soooooo very cute. However, I'm sure between Claire and Gracie one of them will have his green eyes and long lashes. (Sorry David, I'm probably embarrassing you!)

David returns on Wednesday. Hopefully by the weekend, we can get the images posted. The next ultrasound in on Monday, July 31, so we'll post another update then.

Week 16

We're in week 16 now and all is well. I'm a little concerned because it seems that I've stopped "growing." David thinks that I'm being paranoid... he's probably right.

I still haven't felt the babies move, though I've been trying. The next ultrasound should be very telling. We'll be at 17 1/2 weeks, so the doctor is fairly certain that we'll have the answer to our "Woody" question. I think the baby is a girl, and David thinks that the baby is a boy.

We were supposed to have our next ultrasound on Monday, July 10, but David surprised me with a vacation... our last for a while. So, we'll have to wait to the 17th. Unfortunately, David will be out of town for the "unveiling." I won't be alone however, mom is going with me. I can't wait for her to see Claire, our gymnast.
