Baby Appointment

Just a quick update - I had my appointment today with my midwife and brought the twins with me. We were supposed to hear the heartbeat for the first time and the girls were very excited. But they couldn't get a heartbeat and told me they would do another ultrasound to make sure everything was okay. I was pretty worried, but didn't want to upset the girls. So we got in there and she did the ultrasound and our little guy was just moving around so much that it would have been impossible to get a heartbeat. This has been our third appointment and third ultrasound. I feel quite special. I can't believe how much the baby has changed since my last appointment. He or she actually looks like a baby. We were able to see him kicking his legs and arms and got a great look at one of his feet. The baby did sit still long enough to see the heartbeat - constant and strong. Hooray. I told Jeremy this whole story over the phone and he was SO upset that I didn't start by saying something like - Just so you know, everything is fine, but this is what happened...... We made our appointment to find out what we are having - it will be January 31st. I will be 21 weeks then.

Here are some pics of the girls playing out in the yard this afternoon - Whitney came to the back door and said, "Mom, come and take pictures of us in the trees". What a ham.
