4D Pics

Sweet Baby Jackson. Jackson doesn't like to cooperate during ultrasounds. I think he is going to be my "handful" even though I thought Bryggen already was. When I was 15 weeks Griffin revealed himself but Jackson played cool. It took us 4 more weeks to confirm that Jackson was in fact a boy. When I was 25 weeks Jackson laid head down. He would wave and move around but never let us get a profile shot. He even showed himself to us often even though we were not looking this time. At 27 weeks I had my 4D ultrasound and this picture was the best shot he gave us. He gave us the money shot again but not much on his face. We go back next week to try again.
Sweet Baby Griffin. So far, this is my calm little angel. He moves often but not as much or as rough as his brother. He may not have the room to do so which may mean its not by choice but at the end of the day he seems to be my easier going little guy. He's done well in ultrasounds and during my 4D this week, we were able to get a lot of shots. We got tons of his precious face and his foot and his money shot too. He has this sweet pouty face that reminds me a lot of Bryggen's 4D pictures. I even think Jackson's shot looks a lot like both Griffin and Bryggen even though its harder to tell with his.
My Perfect Angel Bryggen. My busy little princess. She is going to be a great big sister. She is bossy and demanding but she is so sweet and nurturing. She loves to hug and give kisses and loves to cuddle. She is my baby and I am excited about her meeting her brothers. She was always calm when I was pregnant but she didn't really come out that way. She's been super busy ever since so I guess the boys' roles could change too. Her 4D picture reminded me so much of Mike and when she was born I was amazed at how much she did look like her 4D and how much she looked like Mike. Well, she still looks like him and she has his personality all over. I think she has a little in me but she is her daddy made over. I think the boys will at least favor her if they continue to grow like their 4D pictures.

As of today, I am 28 weeks pregnant and getting miserable. I am in my 3rd trimester now and almost as big as I was when I had Bryggen. Everyone asks me if I am ready to pop. The question doesn't bother me because I know my boys are big boys. They are in the 65th percentile for a single baby where most twins are below 50%. I hope this growth continues. I want them to be huge even if it causes me more discomfort and pain. I am mostly really tired a lot now, like normal for the 3rd trimester. My back aches and my belly is heavy and pulls. I do carry really low so that has a lot to do with it. I know I am cranky more now and I just pray that it doesn't effect me being a mother to Bryggen. I am taking it easier now that the holidays are over and I hope that helps with my energy and patience. With that said, its New Years and I want to hit the sack. Bryggen's birthday party is Sunday so I will post pics from that.

I love this post! Your babies are so sweet! I am sorry you are feeling rough these days. Not much longer and those sweet boys will be here. I hate we are missing B's party and even though I feel better I am afraid it might come back and I don't want to give it to you. I will get with you and P and I will come to Auburn and see ya'll for B's birthday!
