Potty Trained!


Here's a pic of Irbs in his new big boy underpants.  We are very proud!  Took about 4 days before he really got the hang of it, but I think we've got it now.  I wanted to be sure to give him plenty of time to get potty trained and totally adjust to it before the babies come.  Our little boy is getting so big!!

A Big Wave Hello



Here is a little picture of Baby B waving hello.  It is so amazing to me that you can see every bone in every finger individually.  What an incredible and creative God we have!  We had a great ultrasound this morning at 19 weeks.  Both babies look great and are measuring right on target.  Baby A (Spud as he/she is better known around here) is weighing in at 10 oz and baby B (Sprout) is a close second at 9 oz.  (If you don't like the nick-names, you will just have to appreciate how much better they are than little Irby's.  He was known as 'Ricky Bobby' before he was born(and the funny thing is he often says 'I want to go fast!'.)  I couldn't argue with Irby about these, I was just glad he isn't calling them Will Ferrel characters.)  I just can't tell you how thankful we are that they look so healthy and are measuring the same size.  This is of more concern because now they are saying 'with certainty' that the babies are identical.  I know they could always be wrong and they could turn out to be fraternal, but that is the most recent verdict.  Anyway, apparently there are more complications with identical twins, so they are doing a lot of extra screening.  We were SO thankful for a good report today, and continue to pray for healthy growth and development of our adorable little babies!

I hope to have some more pictures up of little Irbs soon.  He has been up to some pretty hilarious things (I'll keep you in suspense, but one of them includes big-boy underwear).  My camera wire is still lost....it's first on Irby's to-do list, find me a new wire in the tangled mess in his massive box of wires down in the basement...
