Don't make me stop this womb and come back there!

Well, the boys were not very cooperative on Saturday during the 3-D Sonogram. If their behavior in the womb is any indications of how they will be, Heidi and I may be in trouble.

Here are the basics of what we saw on Saturday:

Baby "A"

Apparently this little guy is getting all the caffeine that Heidi has stored in her body. At times, he was wiggling around as if he had some place to go. Also, it would seem that he has found some of his body parts... we noticed him sucking on his foot for a short time.

I don't think I was ever that limber.

Between all the movement and body parts in the way, he was pretty much saying:

"Oh, so you want to take my picture... go ahead, make my day."

Baby "B"

He is the shy one. Much quieter in comparison to "A". In fact, I think the only reason he was moving was to steer clear of his brother. With all those limbs flying around, he most likely has learned to dodge and weave accordingly. During the 45 minute session, he kept his arm up in front of his face. It almost seemed like he was trying to keep the paparazzi at bay.

So, we will have to do it all again. Maybe I will give Heidi a shot of Jack Daniels to slow things down in there... well, maybe not. We all know how I turned out (OK, it wasn't Jack Daniels for me... probably akvavit.)

I will update as soon as we get some good pictures or if I just feel like venting.

Get in my belly!

I thought I could get by with the picture of Heidi and the van... but No... the peasants have revolted and the walls have been breached. In response to the demands, I will release our prisoners and post a new picture of the mom-to-be. Enjoy!

Heidi at 25 Weeks

New Sonograms

Here are the most recent pictures of the boys. Unfortunately, as they are getting bigger (which really isn't unfortunate, unless you ask Heidi) they are getting a lot harder give us clear pictures.

Good news for y'all though, Heidi and I have an appointment set for a 3D ultrasound, so we should be able to get a real good look at the boys. Until then, I hope this placates the masses. I should also be getting a video during that session... so if I can find a way to add that as well, I will do so.

The van arriveth

Ok, ok, I know I haven't posted in a while, and for that I am sorry. But, I come bearing gifts! Gifts in the form of pictures, which probably isn't much of a gift. It is better than one of those T-shirts that say "He didn't blog in over a week, and all I got was this lousy T-shirt."

Ok, maybe that would have been better.

I give to you.... The VAN!


Yes, commuters beware. Heidi doesn't mean to look down upon all of you *cough* sedans and *gasp* coupes. She doesn't believe she is better or superior. It is merely the thrill of the V6 engine and the stylish lines of the spoiler that could make anyone feel "bad to the bone"... If you meet her at a stop light and she begins to put on her leather gloves, you are in for a treat. Prepare to eat diaper dragster dust (which, now that it is in writing, sounds kinda gross).

In all seriousness, we are both very pleased with the van. It has more buttons and gizmo's that even I know what to do with. This is actually one vehicle where I have read the manual. Sure, I wont read the manual on our hedge trimmer (if I had, I would have seen the part about not using too close to the power cable ---- oops), but the vans' I read. Go figure.

I wont bore you with the details, but even a couple of my "anti-minivan" friends have been impressed with some of the features. I will say this... it has a laser. What is cooler than a frigging laser attached to a frigging minivan?

"Grocery getter", "Soccer Mom Mobile"...

Call it what you will, we are now proud owners of a Minivan. Yes, the time had to come sooner or later that Heidi and I would join the ranks of minivan owners. It just turned out that with two little devils on the way, our hand was forced. I guess I can give up my dream of a suburban assault vehicle. Maybe we can install a cannon that fires soccer balls? or at the very least, fires insults to the other drivers. I just don't think the technology is there yet.

I will have to rack that up in the failed promises list... We were, after all, supposed to all have flying cars by now. Sure, with enough speed and the right hill my car flies, but it is just not the same.

I will post some pictures of the van as well as some new sonogram pictures next week. We have yet another Dr. appt on Monday, so hopefully can get some good pictures. Until then, I leave you with this thought from Jack Handey

The kids are already fighting...

Well, we have new sonogram pictures. The doctor referred to the boys position as "bunk beds". When I asked if that was the technical term, they gave me an odd look. No one gets my humor.

The funny thing about this visit was the position of their feet. The little guy on the bottom was getting kicked in the head by the brother above, however he was also dishing it out from below. We might be in for quite the pair of hell raisers.

And before you start complaining that these are only pictures of "Baby A", cut me some slack. I would challenge any of you to tell the difference between the pictures. It just happened that "Mr. A" was being a bit more photogenic this time. The only other picture of "Mr. B" that I contemplated adding was a picture of his privates... and I didn't think this was the most appropriate place for that!



Waving or giving the finger?

Recovering from the last kick in the head.

Future Mom of the year

As promised, here she is in all her glory... and this at only 20 weeks. I still can't believe that there are two "mini me's" in there!

Also, Millie and Rocky wanted to be seen by the world, so they make an appearance in this photo.
