On guard! Raise and ready your plastic swords and halberds... for today we will march onto the battlefield in victory! Alright, so we have exciting news, and we wanted to practice for the epic battles that are sure to grace the backyard of Fort Timmons. Our week 12 ultrasound confirmed that we are having one little Irish lad and possibly a second as well. The twins looked marvelous; the doctor described them as "perfect to perfect plus". We love it when he uses technical terminology with us by the way. The twins were actively moving about in the womb, both jockeying for position and space within the uterus.
The twins appeared startled initially; perhaps the foreign, goo-covered, plastic ultrasound wand gliding its way across mom's tummy was a bit too much to handle without their morning coffee. You can witness them swatting and actively kicking; perhaps we disturbed their mid-morning slumber. I like to imagine that they are practicing their kung-fu moves. Muhahha! At any rate, they look healthy and their spinal columns are aligning perfectly. Additionally, their cardiac activity is normal, and their height and weight are above average for this stage of development. Being that most of the men from my family are 6'0 tall or greater that wasn't too shocking.
Be sure to look closely... You can see one of their packages clearly. And, we think we can see two now that we are becoming more tuned-in to our hawk-like optical reflexes; I can honestly say I never thought I would be excited at the sight of a penis, but there you have it. I am elated. We haven't elevated our title and status to ultrasound master ninja just yet, but we are advancing well in our ancient training. We hope you enjoy the footage of our ultrasound at 12 weeks.

Ahhhh my Grand babies. Wow this is so amazing to watch them grow. It does look like you interrupted them today. I am so excited and I think about them daily. I find myself going into the baby section everytime I go to the store looking at all the cute things I can buy them. Thanks for sharing this with us. This is just too cool. Love you so much.
ReplyDeleteWe are proud to share these events with all of you. We are so excited that you are enjoying sharing these memories with us, and we cannot wait to include more. We love you!
ReplyDeleteThis is so awesome and it was great to see how much they have grown in just a few weeks. We are so happy for you both. And just think before you know it they will be here in this world, and its going to be GREAT. This is so special to us and sit and watch these little babies go. We love all of you.
ReplyDeleteOk! I think we have determined that there is a boy for sure, but I also think we have determined that one of the babies (Baby A) likes the camera more than the other (Baby B). It seems to me that Baby B was much more interested in sleep, or soemthing, and Baby A liked the attention! Hum...I wonder if we will be able to see this behavior post womb? Loved the Week 12 update, thanks for keeping us all in the baby loop! We love you!
ReplyDeleteJeri! That is too funny. I had honestly thought that as well. For some reason or another Palitz always focuses on that side. Either that kid is going to be an attention seeker or Palitz is going to give B a complex or both.
ReplyDeleteSo precious....your beautiful babies! I love the audio by the way = )
