Second Look

Can you see the little profile .. and the belly? Starting to look human.

I had my second doctor's appointment on the 6th and this time Stephen came along just in case they did another ultrasound. We were in luck! The babies put on quite a show for us... well one of them did at least. Baby A was flipping and swimming around so much it was hard for the doc to keep up with it. Then he/she started punching and kicking his/her sibling in the back - hard! I mean he/she was really going to town - rapid fire!! Baby B was sleeping and I was trying so hard not to laugh watching A's little personality rearing it's head for the first time. Finally baby B woke up and showed us that he/she could take care if her/himself, fighting back a little with Baby A. It was pretty amazing to see these little guys interacting this early.



Due to the future athlete in the family -aka Baby A - the doc couldn't get a good shot of both of them (A kept swimming in and out of the picture) but they are both there :)



You can actually see Baby A's little fist about to punch in this shot :) Kinda glad I can't feel all of that yet.

The doctor said it looks like they are identical. I am still holding out for the slight chance that they are fraternal because there are fewer complications with fraternal than identical. Still they are still there and both look very healthy so..until next time :)

PS - No, Stephen did not cry or get emotional upon seeing his kids for the first time :) He was thrilled, excited and happy and watched the images on the screen with as much enthusiasm as he would have had watching an electron microscope explore ..which is a heck of a lot of enthusiasm. What can I say, my man loves science :)
