There’s not a lot to report on Zeus this week as he’s been hitting the bottle pretty hard.

So I’ll give you ultrasound news and pictures instead!

On Thursday we had our 20 week fancy ultrasound appointment so we got to see the boys for 2 hours! At this appointment they reviewed all of the anatomy to make sure everything is functioning as designed. I’m happy to report that our boys, at this point, will not be getting a recall from the manufacturer – they are perfection! We saw their eyes, ears, mouth and toes as well as brains, hearts, bladders and kidneys. I’m still so impressed anyone can tell the difference in the ultrasound images but hey if you tell me my kids are perfect I’m going to believe you!

True to form, baby AA was sweet as can be, peaceful and still – we got his images done in record time but his counterpart BB was a wild man and it took us 15 – 20 minutes longer to get his images because he was a wiggle worm. I think it’s fascinating at each of our appointments how the boys’ dispositions during the ultrasound have remained consistent. I’m curious to see how much of each of their personalities displayed will translate to life outside my uterus. The technician referred to AA as an over achiever and that’s how I know Luke is the father of my babies!

Another crazy thing is how much closer they are to each other now. At the 12 week ultrasound they were clearly separate and appeared to have a lot of space to stretch out and do their own thing. Now they are on top of each other. I’m sure they can smell each other’s breath and farts and that there’s not much room to be discreet. I have no idea where they’re going to get the room to finish their growing…they don’t even weigh a pound each yet! My poor body, I look like I’m 6-7 months pregnant and I’m actually just finishing up my fourth month! I know I’m huge because when my 7 months pregnant sister in law, Bri, sent us a recent belly picture my jaw hit the floor when I saw that we were pretty much the same size. Bri, though, has figured out how not to turn into a house during pregnancy and Erin over here is just eating her way through life while growing twins. I try not to compare or put myself on a scale of where I think I should be or what I should look like, I clearly have no reference point, but it is really hard not to.

Ok so here as some pictures of the boys. Yes, I know the 4D ones are creepy, but I’m their mom so I have to say “OMG, aren’t they the cutest things in the world?! At 20 weeks they are mostly penis and nose. They’re so skinny and look like little bony alien salamanders (but cute ones?) which means I probably need to eat more carbs and ice cream right?

First up, baby AA:

And now, Baby BB. His images are a little less clear as the kid can’t sit still:

Luke has to work all weekend so I am going down to Tucson to love on Harrison (and his parents) and I’m also going to drop by the grandparents house to show off the belly and give them a big hug and thank you for our stroller. It’s been a weird week knowing my parents are half way across the world now but I’m super grateful the rest of my family is still a short drive away in Tucson – I just need to train them to spoil me like my mom does!
