Yesterday we had a doctors appointment along with yet another sonogram. The sonograms are spectacular. It's always neat to see where the babies are actually positioned inside. Since the tots are getting ever-larger, it's getting difficult to make out what we are seeing (being the sonogram lay-people we are).
Here's an example: What I thought looked like a squished head was actually the placenta. I also thought I saw a tiny screwdriver, turns out it was a renal, or, what I learned yesterday, a kidney (there are now 6 kidneys inside of Stephanie).
The babies are estimated to be 1 lb 8 oz (boy) and 1 lb 7 oz (girl). As Stephanie's mom pointed out and in a moment that showed her true wisdom, the extra ounce on the boy is most definitely all penis. *beams*
For those of you who do not know, I have been growing a beard for the past 2 months or so. I am/was quite proud of this feat. Recently (read: this morning) I trimmed it down so that my face no longer looks like a sasquatch's butt. Stephanie continues to look pregnant, but only in her stomach, which is desirable for her. She'll be 25 weeks on Friday!

So keep us in your thoughts as you drift off to sleep at night. Remember we're sleeping with a giant Sponge Bob body pillow which supports our babies and my wife.
