December 22nd

Hello 16 weeks! Time has been flying the past 2 weeks and it was time for another detailed ultrasound. I have posted all of the pics below in a slightly different format. Simply click on the pictures and you will see a much larger version of each baby's set of pics. For the record, you will notice the pictures say 15 weeks 5 days, but they have the wrong date in there, as we are really 16 weeks, and they are supposed to correct it.

So, what a great appointment! Today was the first ultrasound where the sonographer actually did more than crown to rump measurements. In fact, the SD3 are too big for those measurements now. They got there heads, bellies and thigh bones measured instead! It was so cool to see all the different parts. We got to see brain matter, kidneys, stomachs, bladders and spines. They don't have any fat on them yet, so you will see basically skulls in the pictures this week. Because A and C are looking right at us, they look like aliens. A little freaky, but we are promised that will change, hahah!

The heart beats were all strong, in the 150's to 160's bpm. We even got to find out their weights! Baby A is 6 oz., Baby B is 5 oz., and Baby C is 5oz. They are all measuring right where they are supposed to!

We go back in 2 weeks for a cervix check again, and back in 4 weeks for the 1st Level II ultrasound. At 20 weeks, this exam will be over 2 hours long and we should know the sexes then! Not even a month away, it is so crazy!

Shara is doing great. Her belly is getting bigger all the time and I think she will be able to feel them moving very soon. She is a gorgeous pregnant woman and I love her more every day that passes, even when it is snack time at 4am!

We hope everyone has a great holiday season and from our family, we are wishing you and yours all the best.
