"There's not much space in there..." No kidding. What once was a vast amount of black space with tiny white blobs has now turned into hands upon feet upon faces upon tummies. Have fun, guys! Twenty-five weeks have now passed and the McGraw boys are now tipping the scales at 1 pound 7 ounces and 1 pound 9.5 ounces respectively. Both hearts are beating fine, and both brains look to be developing well. There wasn't as much "goofing for the camera" the past two visits (probably due to the minimizing space), but we did catch thumbs in mouths, more shots of the boys' privates (great stories for when they have dates over) and a tongue (see above picture - daddy doesn't believe). We did manage to get a picture of "Baby A" putting on a "gun show" for everybody. Check out those muscles (see picture to the right)!
The babies DO move a lot more. I am able to feel plenty of movement in Katie's belly as she tries to sleep at night, and the babies (or at least one of them) kicked me in my face when I put my head down to Katie's stomach...which she encouraged and applauded the babies for doing.
We have our new crib put together in the nursery, along with a changing table and dresser. We bought some cute stuffed animals from World Market the other day, and I matted and framed two little paintings for the boys' room. We also started registries at Target and Babies R' Us.
Please keep everyone in your prayers. Katie is doing great, but sleep has been a little bit of an issue lately. All in all, we count our blessings and get more and more excited (and a little anxious) as weeks go by - we are almost down to 10 weeks left! YIKES (in a good way)!
We send our love,
The McGraws
