They still eat every 3-4 hours, so, unfortunately, Mom and Dad aren't getting much sleep yet. They are really good babies though, as they are pretty content most of the time. ]]> Zach and Alex had their two-month checkup yesterday, and they are doing very well. Zach now weighs 9 lbs 1.8 oz and is 21 inches long. Alex is 9 lbs 9.6 oz and is also 21 inches long. :D They are gettting more and more alert each day and are starting to show signs of cooing and smiling.

    ]]>     Both boys arrived safely at St. Francis hospital in Shakopee on January 29, 2006.

    Zach was first, at 8:06AM, and let everyone know that he was there… He weighed in at 4 lbs, 13oz. and his length was 17.5 inches. His “bigger” brother followed him two minutes later, at 8:08AM, weighing 5lbs., 6oz. and was 18 inches long.

    Both boys and mom are doing great, just need some time to recover from the trauma. Hopefully mom can be released Wednesday and the boys sometime after that (could be a week or so).

    We took pictures, but unfortunately had a problem retrieveing them off the digital camera. I may have walked by an x-ray machine or some other device that destroyed the data, but I managed to hack the XD filesystem and recover some of it.

    Here are some more pictures.

Baby A is still breech, unfortunately, so I will likely have a c-section unless he flips by then. He has grown to about 3 lb 10 oz, and Baby B has grown to 4 lb 1 oz. I now go in every week for a checkup and non-stress test. Ideally, I’ll make it to at least 36 weeks, so we’re getting close! Grandpa Bob will be painting the nursery for us this weekend, and the furniture is in and ready to be assembled. Pictures from the ultrasound are in the Baby x 2 album.

I had an ultrasound yesterday to check on the babies’ growth; they are positioned in kind of a yin yang pattern. Baby A on the left with his head up and his legs curled around the bottom, and Baby B is heads down on the right with his head above A’s legs and his backside curled up near the my ribs. Baby A is about 2 lbs 5 oz, and Baby B is about 2 lbs 10 oz., which seems to be about where they should be. The printouts we got have been added to the Baby Vandermark x2 album, as has the latest profile shot of me and my big belly and one of Joe’s favorites: me eating ice cream, which is a frequent occurance.

We'll also be posting progress pictures to show just how big I'm getting. ]]> We had our 20 week ultrasound on Monday (a little late, I’m at 21 weeks). We were more than a little surprised to find out that we will be bringing home two bundles of joy instead of just one! :O Both boys are doing well. One of them is 14 oz. and the other is 13. They do appear to be fraternal twins, each with their own sack and placenta.

    I scanned in the printouts that they gave us. They are posted in the Baby Vandermark photo gallery (now renamed Baby Vandermark x 2). We’ll also be posting progress pictures to show just how big I’m getting. :shock:
