Latest Ultrasound Pictures

Lucy's face, hands and belly

Oliver's foot

Lucy's feet "kicking" Oliver's head

Heads Together: Oliver's big head on the left, Lucy's on the right

These were taken on July 29th at 27 weeks. Oliver was estimated to be 2lbs 8oz and Lucy to be 2lbs 2oz. Lucy was frank breech, meaning she was butt down with her feet and head up by my ribs. Oliver was still transverse, meaning he was laying horizontal, his head on my right and his feet on my left. Lucy was caught kicking him in the head! So funny. I'm sure he'll get her back eventually. They are both so active, I wouldn't be surprised if they have changed positions in the last 3 weeks. I'm not sure when my next ultrasound will be, probably this week or next. We're curious to see how much they've grown and if they've flipped. I've been having lots of Braxton Hicks contractions, but my cervix still looks good with no signs of preterm labor.

Maternity Pictures

Kyle decided to take my maternity pictures to save some money and I think they turned out pretty great. We will probably take a few more in a couple weeks.

On July 18th, I had my first baby shower! It was so AMAZING. My sister and my Aunt Kathy hosted the celebration at my Parents' house. I had been waiting for that moment for so long and it was everything I ever imagined. Much of our family was able to attend. Kyle and I feel so lucky and so loved. Everyone is very excited about the twins upcoming arrival. One thing I will never forget is looking at all the little pink and blue decorations. Everyone was so thoughtful, picking out things for both Oliver and Lucy. It's so fun to be having both a boy and a girl...we couldn't be more happy. I get tears in my eyes just thinking about the joy they have already brought to so many people. We just can't wait to meet them (in a few more weeks, of course)!
