Laughter is the Best Medicine

Our OB appointment the other day went great.  The bleed appears to have finally resolved itself which is fantastic news!  I still need to talk to the doctor about whether I need to continue on the Lovenox as well as whether or not I can stay exercising again, but I'll do that when we go back in January for the nuchal fold measurements.

I'm so amazed at the technology that's available now.  My mom never had an ultrasound when she was pregnant with my sister or me and not only do I have pictures of the girls' development starting with their day 5 embryo images, but now I have ultrasound images which are so detailed due to 3D technology.  Just AMAZING!

What was even better was watching their spontaneous movements via ultrasound.  I swear they were dancing in there.  I can't feel anything yet, but it was so great to see.  I couldn't help but laugh at their little arms moving around and my laughter caused them to move around even more.  Clearly they like it when mom laughs.

Anyhow, below are their week 11 and 1 day pictures.  The four on the left are "Speck" and the two on the right are "Eire."  That's right.  We're calling them "Speck und Eire" while in utero.  It's German for "Bacon and Eggs."  I know...we're weird.  :)

Happy Holidays!!!
