More baby pictures

Here are some more pictures of little feet, hands and arms. Aren't they just the cutest? Baby B (Matthew)'s hands are covering his face because his sister kept kicking him. It is absolutely amazing to watch them in motion (and they were definitely moving!).

Aqui hay mas fotos de pies, brazos y manos chiquitos. Que lindos, verdad? Las manos de Baby B (Matthew) le cubren la cara porque su hermana le estaba pateando. Es absolutamente asombroso verlos moviendose (y si que se estaban moviendo!)

Here they are!! The first real pics of Isabella Jordan and Matthew Dylan. Our little boy was not shy so we are 99% sure that he is in fact a little man; meanwhile Baby A (Isabella) was a bit more reticent so we're about 85% sure that she's a she. They look for three little white lines between the legs to determine a female, and you can see those on this second picture. If you stare at the pic of Baby B's face (Matthew) like you're looking at one of those strange pictures that changes focus, you'll see it's actually incredibly vivid--you can see his eye, nose, mouth and chin really well. He's directly facing the picture. Baby A's face pic is a profile, but you can see her big eye, nose, mouth and chin as well, not to mention her big belly. I have other pics of body parts that I'll post in a few minutes. They both have beautiful feet, arms and hands. They both are weighing in at about 13 ounces, which is pretty big for 20 weeks, and really good news since neither one nor the other appears to be stealing all the nutrients. Luis Alfredo and I are beaming...

Aqui estan! Las primeras fotos de Isabella Jordan y Matthew Dylan. Nuestro hijito no fue nada timido asi que estamos 99% seguros de que es un nino; no obstante, Baby A (Isabella) fue un poco mas reticente entonces estamos como 85% seguros de que es nina. Buscan tres lineas blancas entre las piernas para determinar una nina, y se las puede ver en la segunda foto. Si se fija atentamente en la foto de la cara de Baby B (Matthew), se puede ver que de hecho es bastante clara--se puede ver el ojo, nariz, boca y barbilla muy bien. El mira directamente hacia ti. La foto de la Baby A es en perfil pero se puede ver el ojo grande, nariz, boca y barbilla tambien, y ademas su panza gordita. Tengo mas fotos de las partes del cuerpo que subire a la pagina en unos minutos. Los dos tienen hermosos pies, brazos y manos. Ambos pesan alrededor de 13 onzas, lo cual es bastante grande para 20 semanas, y muy buena noticia ya que significa que ni uno ni el otro le esta robando todos los nutrientes. Luis Alfredo y yo no dejamos de sonreir...

20 semanas/ 20 weeks

Today is the first day of week 20. We took the puppies to Lewiston and walked on the levee near the Snake River with them. It was a beautiful Spring-like day, although I think we may have one or two more small snowfalls to get through before Spring finally springs. We are training Xeyla to be our official driver so that she can drive the babies to school when they're older...I think the pups are beginning to suspect that something is happening with me--they seem to be a bit more careful when jumping these days. We'll post an update as soon as we know the sex of the babies, hopefully by Thursday!!

Hoy es el primer dia de la semana 20. Llevamos a los perritos a Lewiston y caminamos al lado del rio Snake con ellos. Fue un dia primaveral, aunque creo que todavia puede nevar una o dos veces mas antes de que la primavera llegue oficialmente. Estamos entrenandole a Xeyla que que sea la conductora oficial para que lleve a los bebes a la escuela cuando crezcan... Creo que Schumacher y Xeyla empiezan a sospechar algo conmigo--parecen un poco mas cuidadosos al saltar estos dias. Escribiremos mas en cuanto sepamos el sexo de los bebes, ojala para el jueves!
