The Austins

Pictures!

I know why you all keep coming back :)

We -finally- got some good shots of our handsome boy today.  Tara started feeling a little ill on the table during Sloan's close up so we stopped after her anatomy scan.  We got a few of her face but they were the standard ultrasound, not 4D so she basically looks like Skeletor.  Oh well :)

Baby Cal at 27 weeks. (both pictures)

update on the babies

i am 27 weeks today and had an ultrasound and doctor visit.  the babies looked so good and happy.  the little boy already has cute chubby cheeks and they both look beautiful.  the boy is measuring a little big.  he has a big head and is measuring at 30 weeks instead of 27.  that isn't a bad thing so no worries!  the girl is right on track as far as size goes.  the boy is 2 lbs 14 oz and the girl is 2 lbs 7 oz.  becca has the pics with her at work so we can add them later. 

i dont know why i keep calling them boy and girl - we have names picked out.  i usually hate sharing them because people always put their 2 cents in but here they are! 

Calvin Drew Austin  Becca wants to call him Cal but I will call him Calvin.  (Calvin was my grandad's name on my dad's side.  he died before i was born but seemed like a really cool dude - Drew is after becca's brother)

Carley Sloan Austin We are going to call her Sloan (Carley is in honor of becca's maiden name Carle and Sloan is just a name that we both really like)

thanks for all the happy thoughts!

we made it!

24 weeks is a huge milestone!  If for some crazy reason I went into labor right now the babies have a much higher chance of survival. not that that is going to happen, but....let's just hope for anywhere from 34-38 weeks!

belly shots: I'm gonna have to start wearing a different outfit!  yikes!

ultrasound-19 weeks, both babies

It's a Boy.....and a Girl!!!

The boy is a little bigger than he should be at 11oz and the girl is right on track at 9oz.  They looked great and are on track to be due at the end of January!

week 16 ultrasound

they are not 100% sure but we think it is one boy and one girl! 

Baby A is the one they are pretty sure is a boy.  He is the one that has been so "relaxed."  However today he was bouncing around all over the place.

 

Baby B, the wild one, is the one they *think* is a girl. 

 

We go back in 3-4 weeks for the big ultrasound.  Healthy looking babies so far!!!

The twins!!!  Baby B (top of head) is on the left...Baby A (head and torso profile) on the right.

The link below should take you to our little home movie.  Baby B is first up...super wiggly as usual!  Can you guess what else it is doing in the video??!!

Baby A was harder to see, but he(she) is second in the video.  Once again, very relaxed :) Both had great heartbeats!
