Princess Town!!!!!! 2 Hansen Girls!

The news is here. The babies are girls and Jason will be outnumbered 4-1 (counting Harley of course). Princess town here we come!

We had about 40 minutes of ultrasound recorded on DVD (don't worry, I only have some clips of just the action-packed moments below, not all of it). These were taken at 16 weeks, 2 days. Full-term due date is 12/9/07, with a high likelihood of that being a couple weeks earlier due to twins.

Note that Twin A / Twin B is noted at the top-left. Each is usually situated side-by-side from each other on screen. You see the "wall" between them frequently as they are each separated in their own sack.

The report is that all is well with both. Both very active (though Tawnya can't really feel activity yet). Both are approximately 5" long. Heartrates at 150bpm. Proper blood-flow, finger/toe count, kidney count and neck measurements. Measured the heads, nasal bones, necks and femurs. Both inspections of the brain lobes and cerebellum show no excess fluid on the brain. Amazing stuff.

It'll be fun to watch and compare how much room they have now compared to each of the ultrasounds that follow. (At least 1/month from here on out)

Enjoy!

Here's Twin A pushing back on the sister. Notice the wave right at the "camera." View of the heart then a rollover as if to say, 'leave me alone, please.'


Twin A nasal bone measure. Then she rolls over and gives some arm stretches. Note that the dark spot is the stomach


A little head butting. Note the visible wall between them. View of Twin A's right hand, back & kidneys. Ends with a dual-head shot of each.


Head to head - 3D view. Note that Twin A's blurred both times as she turned her head and made it look a bit strange.
