It's OFFICIAL!

I was lucky enough to go with Meg to her "Anatomy Scan" today. This is the best ultrasound - the one where they measure the bones and find all of the organs and tell you that your children are perfect - because even if they aren't - they are yours so they are! And rest assured - there are two very perfect, very active, very loved babies in Meg's tummy right now! Baby B was defintely the active one this time - while our little baby A was perfect!

So for all of you who are a little behind on your anatomy we have one hot dog and one hamburger bun. The top one is Baby B - a BOY - a very proud, not so modest little baby boy! Baby A has a hamburger bun and is most defintely a less than modest Baby girl! Someday they will be as mortified as Molly and Peter are that their in utero anatomy is featured prominently in their baby books for all to see but right now - how cute are they?
These are the profile shots - Baby A is on the top in this one and Baby B is on the bottom. Baby A is 7 ounces and had a heartrate of 134 - perfect. Baby B is 9 ounces and had a heartrate of 146 - prefect, also! We got to see the four chambers of each baby's heart, the measurements of their legs and arms, their brains and all of the parts that make them up, their bladder, kidneys, stomach, and spine. I will say it again - it is simply a miracle to see these perfect little human beings with all of their parts even when they are less than 6 inches long! They were moving and playing with each other the whole time - so sweet!

Tim's mom, Alice was so excited to see the ultrasound and "meet" her grandchildren for the first time. "Back in the day" there were no ultrasounds and no telling what gender the babies were before they were born! She was thrilled and so much fun to hang out with!

Lizzie's new skill - climbing on the table!

With a little help from her sister!

Troublemakers! But very cute ones!

Just a little snippet of Annie singing her version of Halleluiah! I think it is adorable and it is my blog! So another exciting day in the H-W house - we can't wait to meet the babies!

GNM - ILY!
