the twins update

So, we had our amnio last week. That was an experience Iʻll probably never want again LOL. We won't get the results for another week. But before we did the amnio, the perinatologist (specialist dude who flew in from O'ahu to see me) did some 4D images of the twins. He had to make sure if they were fraternal or identical before continuing. So here they are.

The first is of my son, true to form, giving the world the finger (that is his sister on the left).

The next is of my daughter, docile and calm as her brother never stops moving (he's on the right).

The lobster looking one is both of them seemingly facing each other. Kinda looks like their plotting and planning ...

thanks, gang .. yeah, itʻs pretty cool even if theyʻre not not exactly in the ʻcuteʻ stage yet LOL .. theyʻre actually pretty scary looking LOL

the 4D is like Nixy said, a series of 3D pictures in real time. So on the screen we can see them moving and whatnot in real time. So I guess the pictures themselves are just 3D since theyʻre still.

We chose English names (Hawaiian names will come with their birth unless I dream them beforehand): Our sonʻs middle name will be Thomas-Edmund after his paternal grandfather and great-grandfather and our daughterʻs middle name will be Clarice-Rose after my grand-aunt (97 and still kicking ass in Texas LOL) and her paternal grandmother.

We got the results of our amnio yesterday and thankfully, each child has their very own set of 23 chromosomes. WOOOHOOO .. no more tests for me!!! Now it's just monitoring my blood pressure and heart palpitations and babies's hearts ... I would say "smooth sailing" but there's a lot of waddling involved that makes it far from smooth LOL

just a few pics from the ultrasound a couple of weeks ago ...

the first two are of my daughter - she's just pretty much kicking it in there then shows off her profile.

the next two are my son - he's covering his face and definitely doesn't want his picture taken as he shows when his foot hits the doc's ultrasound tool LOL
