Week 26 Ultrasounds




Week 26 ultrasounds. Here are some cute fuzzy grainy pictures of the babies.

Baby A - Supine as usual. At least we know his/her spine is developing well.


Baby B - We get to see her cute little profile again with her monkey pose. Her hand is at the middle of the right side of the photo above her forehead... right where the X is on the bar her little fingers are each of those lighter lines... She is so going to be a drama queen.
You can see her little nose, eye and each of her lips. What a cute profile.


Baby C - He is looking up at us this time. His head is on the lower left side of the photo. Look for an oblonged shape that has black dot towards the top. That black dot is the eye cavity. The white down facing L is his nose. If you look down his body, towards the right in the photo you can see each of his little rib bones, those white lines.

His little left hand is that small circular fist on the top of his ribs. I am convinced these will be great halloween photos some day.

Week 25 Ultrasounds





As you saw, my belly is growing mostly out at this point. Baby C is my most active. He loves to kick/punch. I have a feeling I am going to be chasing this one. He has now figured out how to get his feet up near my sternum and kick my stomach. He has also figured out to get his head in my ribs. Lucky for me he usually prefers to be upside down. Here is a great picture of his leg... growing nice and strong and the source of much of my belly jumps.

Baby B - Here you can see her eyelid and little hand above her profile. For those of you, who used to be like me and had no idea what the fuzzy colors were let me show you. If you look in the center of the photo with all the dots directly below those dots you see a semi oval shape with a squiggly oval in the middle, that is the eye lid just below that is a little half u or sideways L that is lighter - that is her nose and the dark spot below is the her lips. She is looking up at the camera... ( a sign of things to come i guess)

Where you see the bar on the right of the photo about half way in the middle by the X is her hand each of those lines is a finger. ( i promise) She is kind of doing a monkey pose with the hand above her head. I guess we will have to check the trees for her.

Baby B loves putting her head in my ribs...they are permanently bruised at this point, but at least it is getting bigger and she is going to be one smart cookie.

Baby A - He/She is getting more active especially when i am laying down. I guess it helps when you do not have your brother and sister sitting on top of you. Baby A is almost always facing my spine so we have plenty of shots of her spine and seems to be the most quite of all three. Baby A is also a little bit of a frog kicker. Good thing my organs are all basically mushed anyway.

This rare shot of Baby A's profile is adorable. It is amazing to see the nose & lips and eyes.

Each of them have their own little personalities, it will be interesting to see how they develop into little people.

Ultrasound shots- Week 23




Here are some photos from our recent visit to the Doctor on 6-11-10.

The first shot is of all three... well you can only see certain parts of each one since they are too big to all fit in one shot anymore. however you can see they labeled each baby so you can "see" (yeah right) each one. :)

The second photo is of Baby A's Profile. It is amazing to see their little profiles including nose and mouths.

The third photo is of Baby B's head and growing brain. It is a top down view.

Doctor says everyone is doing well. He asked me to reduce my travel going forward since this is a critical time for the babies. They passed the viability point, where if they were born they could survive. However, they go from having a 15% survivability if they were born at 23-24 weeks to a 90% survivability rate if they were born at or after the 28th week. So needless to say we will not be quite the world travelers anymore.
