I do hope we keep up the holding part. We have an ultrasound tonight to check on cord flow and baby size. If things are still looking good then we just sit and let these boys grow some more. I’m finally putting on some pounds, too. My weight gain with these little guys has been slow and minimal. I’m glad to be finally be “packing on the groceries”. They’ve also been moving more and more - practicing their ninja moves.

David is feeling better and has been able to spend the last three evenings with me. We proved to be an old married couple the first evening together. Our movie for the night was the documentary The Underwater World of Trout. The boys won’t only be skilled ninjas but fly fishers, as well.

The other excitement of our evenings is my thirty minute walk. This is usually about fifteen minutes of walking and fifteen minutes of yoga stretches for my hips. Our walks take us around the the Labor and Delivery ward, to the fish tank to see the one-eyed fish, Arrr, and then to the nursery to see the new babies. On Friday night we got to watch a set of twins get their diapers changed. They were each moved to a scale to be changed. While each one was in the scale they flailed their arms about fussing. Once they were placed back in the bassinet with their twin they settled right down. It was precious, comforting, and exciting for us as twin parents to be.

Thank you all for your kind words of support. It is so nice to hear from everyone and it helps to pass the time here knowing you are all thinking of us.
