22 Week Update

Update

This morning we had another ultrasound check up on the fellas, so I got to see their precious profiles this morning (not a bad way to start your Monday morning).  This visit was basically just to check the fluid measurements around the boys and make sure their bladders were still growing like they're supposed to, and everything checked out like it should.

Since the boys were being semi-cooperative today, they went ahead and did the echo cardiograms today instead of waiting 2 more weeks.  Both boys had good strong hearts (which makes me so happy and relieved).  Mid-way through looking at Harrison's heart, I started to feel a little dizzy and sick.  Laying on my back for too long these days isn't really an option for me, so I got to finish the ultrasound on my side which helped out a lot!

I'm so fascinated by this entire process and the information technology today can provide us with.  To be able to see their little hearts beating away and watch how they both interact with one another, it's truly amazing to be able to witness this miracle God has blessed us with.

What's new with me?

Not too much has changed with the way I've been feeling lately.  I can definitely feel the weight and pressure (and kicks and movements) of these guys.  I get tired a little quicker and only feel like propping up my feet by the end of the day.  However, I still find plenty of time to play with Grady.

How's Grady doing with the changes that are coming?

Not too much has changed in Grady's world (other than getting a big boy bed room a few months ago).  This weekend we made it to a new exhibit at the McWane Center (the Itty Bitty Magic City), and we even went to the park for a little while Sunday afternoon before it started to storm. We sit and play at home just like we always have (he has a new obsession with STICKERS, and apparently my growing belly is the perfect place to put them all).

Grady isn't 100% sure about having brothers yet.  Quite frankly, he's protesting it.  He will get there eventually (or at least he will have to), but for now, it's fun to get his reactions when we ask him about having brothers.

Some more pictures that go along with today's post:

Harrison (my wild child...always moving)

Hudson

Harrison was sitting on Hudson's head this morning when we started our ultrasound.

Pretending to drive a sports car at the museum on Saturday.  No big deal.  They said he could take a picture in it, and as soon as they opened a door for him he ran and hopped right into the driver's seat.

Grady loved to play in the water, and watch the balls go through the tubes in the Itty Bitty Magic City

Sticker fun....every night

That's all for this update.  I go back on Thursday to visit my doctor and make sure I'm doing good, and then we have our next ultrasound check on June 4th.  I will update more then!

(I'm also attempting to upload weekly "bump" pics on the Twin Bump Pics tab.  Go and check that out to see how big these boys are getting. =)
