It's been awhile since our last post... Brett was able to go to Lake Tahoe for a ski trip with work. Here's a picture of Scott, Brett and Dan relaxing after a run down the mountain. They had a great time gambling and skiing (actually Brett is snowboarding these days!). He says he tried the whole "babies need new pairs of shoes" at the Craps table, but no luck, he didn't bring home the big bucks from the casino.
As for me, I've been great! Babies are all on track, weighing in at about 3.5lbs for the girl and 3lbs for the boy. I have to watch my carb intake and eat smaller meals more frequently (less queso is very hard!) to combat gestational diabetes. And I've been lucky (knock on wood) that I am still eating all of my favorite spicy foods :) I think the kids like it too... or at least I pretend that they are happy with the spice as they kick around in me. And man, they are moving! We can see body parts moving in my stomach... looks like little aliens trying to get out. It's a really cool and interesting feeling being able to feel them move around, kick, punch and hiccup. Here's a picture of me at 30 weeks. They say 36 weeks is the average delivery week for twins... I would love to go "full term" at 40 weeks or even 38 would be great.
Below is a picture of our little girl. It's getting harder and harder to get good pictures of them because they are all scrunched in there. I can barely make these pictures out! So this is a profile of her, right in the center you can see her eye socket and her nose is to the left of that.
And below is our boy... this picture is not a profile, but a straight on face shot with his arm in front of his face. So the lightest object in the middle is his arm coming from the bottom upwards (fist is round) crossing over his face. To the left of his arm is the bridge of his nose and then further left are his two eyes. Brett had to show me about 3 times before I could actually see his face! Basically you have to tilt your head to the left to see him upright.
