24.5 weeks

the girls are doing great! I had a fun ultrasound today because our sonographer decided to grab the 3D ultrasound wand to get some images of our girls (she said they were in perfect position for it). I have never had a 3D u/s before and it was fun to see. the pictures are not perfect, but it is exciting to get an idea of what they might look like.  when the girls were smaller they would flip around and it was hard for me to figure out what baby or parts were kicking me where. currently, they are more settled in positions and today I was really able to figure out which baby is where (with the tech’s help). both of their heads are on my right side next to each other (how sweet!) with both of their feet by my belly button, which explains why my right ribs hurt when I sit in the car or chair because baby b sticks her butt into them and why I suddenly have to go to the bathroom because baby a is pushing her back into my bladder. in the evening when they are really active my belly will start dancing with their movements and kicks!

they are both growing perfectly and exactly the same. they weigh about 1.5 pounds each. what a miracle!

here are the 3D images. the sonographer didn’t mark who was baby a or b…good thing they are identical.

this was one of the girls yawning. kind of weird looking, but fun to see expressions that little newborns make.
