This is a picture of one of our babies. Taken today. Rebecca's at 11 weeks this week. The one above was up front on top, and apparently trying out for Riverdance. I've named this one "Jazzercise". The other baby, who we didn't get any good pictures of, was asleep on the floor of the uterus and behind his/her brother/sister. That one only moved when Dr. Northcutt smacked it in the head with the ultrasound probe. I've named that one "Eeyore".
It's just amazing how happy people are capable of getting. When Rebecca told me she was pregnant, I grinned from ear-to-ear. When I learned it was twins, I started vibrating. Today, seeing them squirm around and looking less like little white blobs and more like little people - I started floating. So imagine what I'll look like next month when we go back. I'll be grinning from ear-to-ear, vibrating, floating, and - hell, I''ll probably have rainbows shooting out of my ass.
More baby pics!
Dark Side Of The Moon
So, I went and set up my camera last night to see the total eclipse of the hear- I mean moon. And I got some nice shots, I think. Problem is - the moon is a moving target. I had the choice of getting a darkish image that was sharp or a bright image that was blurred. I tried to get a happy medium. Oh yeah, and I couldn't focus for shit, given that I was in near complete darkness taking pictures of a dark thing in a dark sky. Pretty pics, tho. Above is a shot taken before the moon reached totality, including a nice flare - and below is a shot taken well into the dark dark shadow of our earth.
This is an ultrasound we had done a couple days ago. Notice the plural "babies" and the 2 (two) white blobs. Those white blobs are our 7 week old (probably identical) twin babies! WHEEEEEEEEE!!!!!
I honestly can't think of when I've been happier. Not even the time I fell in the white goo vat at the twinkie factory can compare to this. Not even when, after crawling out of the goo, I was licked clean by a thousand golden lab puppies, compares.
I am wicked super hella mondo stoked. Total awesomeness has been achieved.
