Another Look At The Little Buggers

(19w4d)
We look forward to ultrasounds. It is always reassuring to see the three of them wiggling around in there and getting larger by the week. We had another full anatomical ultrasound today. All three babies showed normal growth and anatomy (heart, brain, head, spine, kidneys, face, limbs, etc). We were able to see the lenses of their eyes, and the tooth buds in their palates. Amazing. It continues to look like we are having two boys and a girl. And in typical boy fashion, they are piled on top of their sister :-).

Dr. Peri encouraged me to hit the pool which is perfect timing since we have one in our backyard and the weather has turned very warm (and will soon be quite hot). Natalie's kids are frequent visitors to our pool during the summer, so now I have a great excuse to join them. After my last day of work next week, I will have nothing better to do but float in the pool and lay on the lounger while watching the little ones splash around. There are worse ways to spend a summer!

My belly is becoming somewhat protuberant and we will be taking another belly shot this weekend to celebrate the 20-week mark. I will post it so you call all see my ever-expanding mid-section.

Repeat ultrasound in two weeks and if all is ok, I leave town that day for David's wedding in L.A. (driving as I am totally grounded from flying). Fingers crossed!!!!!

Fingers crossed indeed sis. :)

And did it ever occur to you that the reason they're piling on their sister is that she provoked them? Perhaps some punching or teasing? Not that I speak from experience...
