11 weeks...My how they are growing!

Brandon and I went in for our last visit with Dr. Allon at the IVF clinic. We were sad this was our last time to see him...if only he delivered babies too!

He did our first 3D Ultrasound which was pretty amazing...as soon as we figure out how to convert the .mvl movie to a format everyone can see we will post. However we did get some pretty cute and detailed pics of the little Twokins. At this point they are almost fully developed and are pretty much mini versions of a full size baby. They are about 1.8 and 1.6 inches respectively...for twins they are well within their size range, which I am very happy about. Their little hearts are still in the 160's to 170's range. We couldn't believe how much at this point that they looked like little humans but the most amazing part of this visit was to see them moving around as if they were doing water ballet...that was truly beautiful to watch and made me cry!


Recently I went to our new OB/GYN...she came highly recommended to us by another IVF couple and seems to be very familar with twin births. My visit with her went really well and she sent me home with a lot of literature. Our next visit with her is Feb 8th which will be another 3D/4D Ultrasound and possibly we get to find out what the sexes are! At this point I am convinced one is a girl and the other is an alien...the pictures below demonstrate why I have come to this conclusion!

This just has to be the little girl...isnt she adorable!?

Alien boy child...I swear it came from Boo's alien toe!

(actually this is the backview of the skull inwhich you see the two sides of the brain as it is developing...pretty amazing!)

Heart Beats at 8 Weeks (Dec 19, 2007)...We are very proud!

7A at 8 weeks...her little heart is racing at 167/bpm

The two of them side by side...I think they talk about how great mommie is!

8A - my little alien has the heart of a race car driver...171/bpm


My mom was with me when I heard our little ones heartbeat...it was great to have their grandma be able to go. I think she was just as excited as I was!
