Baby A (Girl) at 20 Weeks

Both babies were perfect angels for their ultrasound. Baby A was mostly twisted and on her side with her head down. She must really like her little butt because that is what we saw most of the time. We did get a very precious picture of her face with all her teeny, tiny features. The other picture looks like she is pondering something very intensely. I continue to be amazed at the amount of growth that occurs in four weeks. The finite details are unbelievable and sooooo adorable!

Field Trip

Today the babies and I went to visit Daddy at Duke. He is on-call this weekend but thought it might be fun to take a peak at the little wigglers. They were definately wiggling! Baby Girl Kranz was sucking her thumb. We could see her lips and jaw moving. Baby Boy Kranz was a little wiggler and kept putting his butt in Baby Girl's face followed by his feet. Oh Boy...I can not wait! :)

Week 19

Still growing! I think I grew significantly over the weekend. The little wigglers continue to wiggle all day long which is quite soothing. My appetite comes and goes but everything tastes better than ever. Peter and I joined a couple of friends at Vin Rouge for an exquisite dining experience topped off by the most marvelous chocolate mousse. While I miss the wine the most, feeling the babies move makes it all worth it. Just 12 more days to go until our next detailed anatomy scan - can not wait for that three hour appointment!

A New Walk

One of my sweet colleagues informed me that I have a new walk. I was like what? No? Do you think? Seriously? I had not noticed, but apparently only a mom can notice these things of another mom. I have some sort of "mom sway" according to another colleague who confirmed what the first person was pointing out. This is not yet considered a "waddle"; however, this is soon to develop as well. I guess it is what it is - I have a new walk! I wonder if the old walk will return? Another fun development in the Day-in-the-Life of pregnancy. :)

Week 18

I feel this blog is much less exciting than the ones with pics, so I have delayed moving the thumb suckers down at all. I think things are progressing quite nicely and quickly. It feels like constant flutters and from time-to-time a light thump. You can see by the slideshow of the belly pics (right side) that between week 16 and week 17 the bump really popped. My next detailed anatomy scan (i.e. more pics) will be October 17 and I am already counting the days to see our little wigglers in action.

Sucking Their Thumbs

Both babies likes to find their fingers.

Week 16 Anatomy

Today we had the detailed anatomy scan done. Both babies look great, have all their right parts in the right places, move around constantly, and measure the correct age. We are so happy! Now on to the fun part - Pictures. Both of these pictures display the babies in their relaxed position. Baby A (Girl) likes to keep her butt in the air. Baby B (Boy) likes to play it cool and just chill out.
