You learn something new every day...or so the saying goes!


But it turned out to be true in my case today.

First, apparently people like to steal quad ultrasound photos. It sounds strange, but I now know two people who caught someone creating a for-profit blog with their stolen photos. So, going forward, you will see a (hopefully unobtrusive) watermark on the baby pics.

We got a great surprise in the mail yesterday, from the storied land of Mundelien, IL, courtesy of Grandma Mary. The babies very first gifts! Aren't they adorable sitting on Great Grandma Mouse's chair?


Today's appointment went great. This may be one of the last group shots we get, because everybody is getting so big!

You can see Baby C and D's heads in this pic, but everybody else is pretty hazy. All four are measuring between 13 + 5 and 14 + 1, which is awesome. The doc would always rather see them measuring big than small since we need to get them as close to three pounds each as possible before delivery. Heartbeats are hovering around 155BPM, which is also perfect.




Baby A has been our biggest at every measurement, however someone else is suddenly making a run for 1st Place! Isn't it amazing to see so much visible this early? The spine is very clear in this picture. What an amazing design God had for us!


Apparently 13 weeks is the dreaded Alien-Baby phase, as evidenced by Baby B this morning! Don't be afraid, B comes in peace.

And Baby C, who the doctor guessed may have not survived to this week has overtaken Baby A for the coveted Biggest Baby Award! My favorite ultrasound tech, Emily, has a soft spot for this little one, but mostly because of the cooperative poses during picture time that make Emily look like a pro photographer.


And last but not least, Baby D, also having a very photogenic day. This little one was squirmy right up until picture time, then settled down beautifully for this shot.

Starting in two weeks, the ultrasounds will be a bit different. To this point they have been taking only crown to rump measurements to determine size. Going forward, there will be measurements of the heads, arms, legs, etc. I can't imagine these appointments going any longer, but I guess they will!

The bump is progressing nicely. I am afraid that I'll have about three weeks of "cute bump" before I move on to "holy-crap-lady-do-you-have-an-army-in-there?!".




The next ultrasound is scheduled for June 1, which will also be our two year wedding anniversary! What a ride it's been already!
