The original babies caught snuggling

BUSTED...They each try very hard to pretend that the other one doesn't exist when we're around, but now we know what happens when we're not around. These two snuggle-bugs were totally caught cuddling together in the spare bed, lazing around in the sun. Unbelievable.

So, I have this cool ticker tool now to count down the days until my due date, so I figured now is a good time to actually post the fact that I'm pregnant and start believing that its real. (see sidebar). We are about the size of an orange this week. Our Little Baby Pigeon (LBP) now has fingers and toes and functional joints in the arms and legs. Also, LBP now has the ability to suck its thumb if it chooses to. The circulatory system is pretty much fully formed and the heartbeat was 156 at our last appointment. For a scary second there in the appointment we actually heard what sounded a lot like 2 heartbeats. I thought Bev was going to pass out. Turns out we can actually hear the heart beating and the valves opening and closing, so its 2 different sounds that come through the monitor.

Ultrasound is March 30th, so I'll be able to post some pictures of LBP at that point.
