Visit to the midwife

Hi Everyone! We're went somewhere very important today! Mom took along the camera to document our experience. Here we are all ready to go to Mom's midwife appointment!


We love going to the midwife! She's so nice! Here's her house. We'll have one more appointment here in two weeks and then she'll start coming to our house!
We like her house because she has toys! The coloring books are a big hit with us! We colored while Mom did some other stuff. We don't really know what that's all about, but it gives us some time to have fun before we get down to business!
After Mom talks to the midwife for a few minutes, it's our turns to help! There's this great little squeazy thing that checked Mom's blood pressure. It was 110/70. I guess that's good.

Next came the measuring. Mom's belly sure has gotten big lately! We think our brother must be anxious to see us because he sure has been growing a lot! The midwife says he's about 2 weeks ahead!


Next we listened to his heartbeat. Leonora is our professional button pusher, so that's her job. This machine makes the coolest noises ever!

After that's all over, Mom talks some more to the midwife. They talk a lot, but we get to play some more, so it's okay with us. Then it's time to clean up!
And one final peice of business: trying on the Spiderman mask! Yep, it fits!

what a cute post, I always measure way ahead! One time a doctor did a double take... of course, I'm always "late"

They are so cute (and looking so old!!). How fun to visit your midwife at her home. (And then she comes to yours--how convenient!)

I agree, William especially looks old in these pics!
When are you due again?

Saskia-This is the first time I've measured ahead more than a week. I'm usually late too. How big have your babies been?
Heidi-Thanks! They are getting big!I am looking forward to the home visits! It will be nice not to have to go anywhere.
Tearese-He needs a haircut. I wonder if he'd look younger with it short. My "official" due date is Jan 22nd, but I've just been saying the second half of Jan. (I don't entirely trust those ultra sounds!)
