Fi'ty Days

This is Baby A. Hopefully you can make out the nose and mouth. It was so nice to see A's face b/c that is the baby that is always hiding and doesn't want to take photos. A measured 2 pounds 3 ounces! The pomegranant looking thing on the right of the face is somehow Baby B sitting on A's face. A kept kicking and hitting B to get it off! It was quite funny! The photo on the top is of A's foot - it is flexed up if you can tell-it is a little darker and harder to see.

Baby B here is the one hiding! Look in the background to see the head and chin...Then the long thing going across that is B's arm covering the eyes. It didn't want to play at all today with the 4D machine...The photo on top of the 4D is of B's profile - not too clear b/c again - B didn't want to play. B measured 2 pounds 5 ounces and has now found a way to shimmy it's fists up under my ribs. Not very nice but at least I can tell who it is-It's hard to tell when they both kick in the middle of my belly.
Today marks 50 days of being here!! WoW! I just can't believe it-it is flying by. I am so blessed and know God is taking care of us each day. I know He is in control and keeping these babies safe and sound and will continue to in the days ahead. I think-No, I know, this is why I am not laying here in a constant state of worry. He carries all our concerns and I am so thankful!
I had lots of fun visitors today...thanks Haley and Clare for coming this morning. (And for my snacks) The Brantley's came and visited a while too before lunch and Kirk & Sonal picked Brad up and they
all came for lunch! I loved getting to see everyone today! Oh and a special shout to Chad and Allie for bringing me (and my nurse) McDonalds last night at 9 pm! It was DELISH - I would have never made it thru the night without those chicken nuggets and McFlurry!!
We will be 27 weeks tomorrow...more pics to follow...

Hey Mere--This is Laura Lobley! I have been reading your blog and am so excited that you and the twins are doing so well! The sonograms are just precious! Miss you!

Your babies are growing so much! Happy 50 days!

Mere...you are doing great!! These are going to be the healthiest hardiest twins ever. I just know it. I know you are probably sick of the "rest", but I hope you can enjoy it a little. Love you and praying for you, Brad and "A" and "B". Thanks for commenting.

Hey Meredith! I was on the phone with Brad today and got me up to date - my jaw was on the floor by the time he was finished! I can't believe what you're having to go through.

I wish I had some words of encouragement. But since I'm a guy - thereby making it pretty difficult for me to relate - I'll just pray for you and Brad instead!

Hang in there!
