This is her. You can see the line in the upper lefthand area-that shows the dividing line between the two sacs. Notice how much of the screen she takes up and compare with the 26 week pictures...

You can kind of see the little arrow/mouse pointing to the 'area'.

So we had our second ultrasound appt today. We got to see the two little guffers again, lots of fun. It turns out that the girl is on my left side and the boy is on the right. Right now they are both heads up. They were not shy during the 'photo shoot' and we again saw the boy/girl parts. The boy is a little bigger, but the girl is more active. Most of the movement I feel is on my left side, where she is. She was also poking and jabbing at the boy frequently during the whole visit, foot to his head, hand to his side, piledrive to the face, j/k, etc:) Heartbeats are both strong 140 to 157 respectively. We got some more good pictures to bring home. They are both about 2 lbs now and I am 26 weeks along! I feel like I was close to my due dates with the others and I still have at least 2 or so months to go. My next doctors appt is next wed, July 21.

Happy 4th of July, (and Canada Day!!!). Hope it was safe and enjoyable for all. We started the day with a pancake breakfast at church. Then I drove the kids halfway to meet Rich so he could take the kids to Sacramento for the weekend. Then Alan and I lazied around the house, did some yard work and made plans for the evening. We headed up to Lodi to watch some fireworks and make some of our own... Then back home and to bed. Sunday morning was busy finishing up two lessons and preparing our fast. Its always different and quiet when we don't have any kids for church. Alan did the lesson on sugar beets, and I did the young women lesson on Forgiveness. It was a great and fulfilling day. Then to pick up the kids after church and home for dinner about 5:30. We are blessed with such good food each week, what a bounty! And such nice times together as a family, we decided to go for a bike ride and we stopped by grandma/grandpas house too. Now the kids are in bed and it's smoothie time...

So weird thing happened this week at the library. I feel out of place or just behind. Anyway, I took the three kids to the library for story time like I used to. I guess it has been a long time (try 2 or more years). SO we go in and sit down. I tell the kids to pick out a little rug to sit on by my feet. They all hover around me standing, shy... None of them wants to get a name tag! What's wrong with my kids? I look around to see all these little little kids, like babies. 1.5 or 2 year olds that have name tags and are (believe it or not) sitting down waiting for the lady to begin. She begins with my kids standing by me not wanting to be there. We sing the hello song and then she reads a story. Then it's time for another hand song. None of my kids are co-operating, complaining they don't want to be here. C'mon guys! Sit on a rug and participate! Then Jasmine says "we're not babies anymore mom." Duh! What happened to my life that I don't have little ones anymore? LameO! You're kids are tooooo old for story time at the library. News to me! So we left. Just like that. I don't have little ones anymore. What to do? I guess those hard times really don't last forever. Why was I so stressed out so much of the time? Why didn't I just SIT DOWN AND ENJOY THE FUN SIMPLE STUFF? Why can't I just sit down and enjoy the fun simple stuff NOW? What's wrong with us? What is so IMPORTANT that we don't have time for each other? Blah blah blah.
