Today was the “big” ultrasound where they look at every last bit of each baby and check for abnormalities.  It was one hour per baby — a LONG ultrasound for sure, but very cool too get to watch them for so long.  Especially when they were beating on each other!  Unfortunately, there was a problem with baby girl that we noticed almost immediately.

I think I posted that we got the cribs a few weeks ago and built them (I’ll take a picture eventually…). They are set up in the nursery and I’ve been going through Calista’s old things, as well as things our friends have given us (they had a baby boy) and washing and folding all the little gowns and blankets.

Here is the 16 week belly picture.  Sorry I look so haggard, we were at the mall (Calista and I) shopping for Skip’s birthday tomorrow.  I am feeling better these days…  still have my IV and still have bad (sick) days, but overall, much better.  Now my issues seem to be back/tummy pains and shortness of breath.  Whew!!
