Last week we had our 2nd advanced ultrasound and it was awesome of course! The place we get this once a month ultrasound is so nice. I sit in a nice comfy chair, the room is dark and cool, and the people are so nice. But the BEST part is that we get a whole hour with our precious little girls and the whole world just stops! It's amazing!!!!
The focus of this ultrasound was more on the detailed health of the girls and the results are great! We spent time looking at their brains, hearts, kidneys, bladders, bones, spines, and everything in between! It is incredible! We got great looks at all of those things (especially the hearts which is amazing) but not as great pictures of the beautiful girls to post here. They were both just kinda doing their own thing and not as interested in the ultrasound wand poking them for an hour. So I only have some limited pics and videos to post but we are so happy to have anything and more importantly to know they are healthy!
They are now laying in a T formation. Lenni's head is way down in my pelvis (which explains the crazy pressure I have had down there) with her feet up near my belly button. Ninja is laying straight across the top of my belly just under my diaphragm (which explains the very few deep breaths that I now enjoy). Lenni is 11 ounces and Ninja is 10. They are both a little over 7 inches long- about the length of a banana.
So their antics continue and we have another video to prove it. This is a video of Ninja and you can see the membrane that separates the two of them and Lenni's feet pressing against it and kicking her sister in the head!!! Yup in the head! Poor little girl! But actually Ninja didn't look like she minded too much- hopefully not!

Our Lattest
Lenni's Only Close Up!
Stubborn but OH SO CUTE! This was the only good pic we could get of her. But we will take whatever we can get! They both have the cutest little button noses and sweet pouty lips!
Ninjas New Portfolio
Ninja was a little more coperative with her photo shoot- but not much more. Out of 59 pictures this is what we got!
Last month it was her sister but now she is the one almost sucking her thumb!
A great shot of her nice big brain and healthy heart! This is actually my favorite!
When you firt see this one you see her rib cage and spine but I look at her cute nose!
All The Glory!
My mom and my sister have been demanding a picture of my belly. So here is all the glory! I am only 5 and a half months but you wouldn't think it! :) My doctor says he wants me to gain 50 pounds for twins! Yes I did say FIFTY!!!! Crazy huh! I am only a third of the way there so this is only the beginning!!
I know the background is kind of distracting. This was at 10:30 at night after a movie and a big meal at Bucca di Peppo. Trav had been up since 4:30 am and could barely muster the energy to lay on our bed and take the picture! He actually thought I was going to bust out a bare belly as my mom and sister had requested! :) If only they were SO lucky!
