Shannon wasn’t too fond of the 22 Week picture, so we took another one. Hopefully I can get one today or tomorrow to show her at 24 Weeks.

Shannon had another doctor’s visit today – and everything looked good. The babies we active, and the doctor didn’t see any problems. We go in on Monday for a growth check (to be sure that they are both growing at the same rate). Thank you all for your prayers!

Everyone has been asking for this one, and here it is. Shannon finally let me take a picture of her belly. In this picture she is at 22 Weeks – and looking cuter than ever!

These were the ultrasounds from July 15th (where we determined the gender of the babies). This was such an awesome experience to see them so developed and active. You can click on each of the pictures below to see a larger version. Click the “Read the rest of this entry” link to see the pictures.

UPDATE: I know I am behind on ultrasound pictures, so I will be posting them later today.

I made an official announcement on my professional blog yesterday that I have joined Universal Mind full time. This is a huge blessing for us, and something that we have prayed about since I left Georgia Tech in May. I have been working with Universal Mind for the past few months, and I have been really impressed by the company as a whole.

For all of you Mac people in the family (and you know who you are), I will be getting a new MacBook Pro sometime in the next week (and it didn’t come a moment too soon as the Toshiba is getting slower by the day).

Well yesterday we had our 12 week ultrasound. It was absolutely amazing! The babies have grown considerably from the last ultrasound. The coolest part was seeing Baby B put on a show for us as it jumped around during the ultrasound (sorry – we don’t have any videos of the ultrasounds – only pictures). Baby A was calm as usual, but the heartbeats of both babies were exactly where they needed to be. You can click on the image below and go to our Flickr site and see the other pics.

Things are progressing along very well! Shannon had another ultrasound last week, and everything was looking good! We have our 12-week ultrasound(s) coming up next week (one at each doctor). We should be able to see a bit more then. We still have a bit before we can determine the sex though.

First, please keep Shannon in prayer as she is still struggling with some bad nausea (not unusual especially with twins). Second, we want to praise God that our friends Matt and Kara also are pregnant with twins!! We have been praying for that for some time. God has been so great to all of us.

UPDATE: Sorry to just get this up. While switching servers, I accidentally over-wrote the post.

Here is the ultrasound at seven weeks (click for larger version). It was truly amazing to see the two different babies growing and developing. God has truly blessed us throughout this entire process – and we will be telling more of that story in the weeks ahead. Please keep us in prayer as we continue through the pregnancy. The current due date is Dec. 12, but many pregnancies with twins don’t go full term. This means that we are expecting them sometime between Thanksgiving and the due date.

If for some reason you have stumbled across our blog and have not met us in person, you might think that the title is referring to a child. Actually, in a way Nala is our child, but she is quite a bit bigger and crazier than any human child would be at one year. Nala is our black lab who just turned one yesterday, March 7^th.

With this, I guess we need to stop calling her ‘puppy’ and move her to the adult food. I must admit that she still is very much a puppy at heart.

Hey everyone! I just wanted to tell you about something else amazing that God has been doing in our lives! I recently got a blogging position at InsideRIA.com, a new site by Adobe and O’Reilly. This is an amazing opportunity for me, and I am so thankful that God worked this out for us. You can check out the whole InsideRIA.com team here.
