We had yet another appointment with High Risk OB at Delnor again Monday and while I was able to avoid the dreaded licorice flavored taffy, I wasn’t able to hide my disappointment at not being able to get a 3D shot of my youngest son’s face. But petty grievances aside, my kids are doing well.

During the scan they measured brain, head, legs and arms, as well as measuring fluid and height and weight. Compared to each other and their last measurements, Mason and Leah are slated to continue kicking mucho ass and are in the 60% percentile for their ages.

Wahoo!

Mason is 2lbs.  11oz.
Leah is 2lbs. 13oz.
Both are around 14inches long at the moment.

They have also completely changed positions. Leah is now head down along Julie’s left side and Mason is now head up along Julie’s right side. They playing “yin & yang” yo.

The weird thing now is that Julie can’t really tell who is moving when. With the exception of the “coasts” of her globe-belly, movements near her “poles” could be either the feet of one or the head of another.

I’m not really going to worry about who is doing what because all I’m really good for is staring at her belly and then pointing and saying aloud “Man, that’s frickin’ freaky shit.” Which I’ve done in public a few times. Averting people’s attention away from her belly and onto my cheeseball face is one of my coping mechanisms. I’m not trying to steal the attention per se, I’m just trying to lessen the staring directly into Julie’s magic ball of bebe.

We’re under 90 days until the twincinerator launches. And by launches, I mean slithers from wifey’s vajayjay.

Yay!

Regarding getting the 3D shot of lil dude 2.0, he was facing Julie’s spine so I was out of luck once again. No amount of shaking, prodding or tickling was going to get that little fetus flipped. I offered to stick my hands in there, but that seemed a bit much just for a photo op.
