The twins in 3d!

Hannah and I are still in Illinois and having a blast! We were surprised to learn a couple days ago that Grandma Pat was scheduling an ultrasound of the twins in 3D at The Belly Factory! http://www.thebellyfactory.com/ So at 22weeks 3days old we were able to see Hannah's twin sisters in actions! We were in complete awe the entire time!
Here is my favorite shot of B (we really need to come up with names!) You can see her sweet little smile already! This despite the next picture!

I try to walk you through these the best that I can. If you go to the lower left corner you will see what is almost a complete circle... This is B's head. Directly above her head are A's feet which turn into her lower legs, bending at the knees, and then her femur (you are looking at A's left side). Then in the middle the rounded area is A's belly which leads to her neck and head which you cannot see completely. This picture taken after we watched A kicking B in the head multiple times until she finally brought her legs to a rest across B's chest! Ouch I know! It's amazing what is going on inside my growing belly that I am not even aware of!


The girls have their heads on completely opposite sides of the womb so they were unable to get a picture of the two of them together. They tried their best and the above picture is what we got. It is both of their bellies? A is on the right and B is on the left. Again I say ???

Here is B's profile shot with her sweet little nose and everything else.

Here is A's profile with a nose just as cute!


The way twins are labeled is A is the baby lowest in the womb. The lowest in the womb is A because with a vaginal delivery she will be the first to emerge. Above is a picture of A letting us know that she know's her place and is in position to come out first... thus the holding up of her Superstar #1 finger on her left hand! :)

This is another great shot of A sucking her right thumb. We were able to get more clear pictures of A because she was closer to the surface, B was hanging out much deeper.

This is B sitting Indian style. You're going to have to use your imagination but you can see the ribs (looks like stripes about midway down, off to the right a little) and directly down are her two little legs crossed and looking comfy as ever!


Here is a slideshow of all 80 images if you'd like to see them. The girls are doing great and everything looked wonderful! They are super active and I cannot wait to get home since over the last week I have been able to feel the action on the outside as well as the inside! John is in for a treat! :)
