Hey Everybody!
This past week we got to see our little ones again. We had a scheduled, in-depth ultrasound during our 24th week. Future grandma Dottie and Aunt Michelle joined us for the ultrasound. It took a little while to get used to what we were looking at, but once we did, it was wonderful to see how much the babies have been growing. After almost doubling in size since the 18 week ultrasound, they'll be doubling in size again until our 28 week ultrasound in October. We were able to see their faces and arms and the ultrasound tech was measuring their heads, bellies and femurs to check growth and health. At this point in the pregnancy, our little girl is 1lb 7 ounces and our little boy is 1lb 5 ounces.
These past few weeks has also begun getting back into our fall rhythm. We were both so thankful for all the wonderful things we were able to do this summer and the amount of time we got to spend together. We are cherishing every moment together and looking forward to the day when our little ones arrive. Kealy started her first day back at subbing on Wednesday. She is going to continue to work as much as she is comfortable with and the doctor allows as the pregnancy continues. We're both going for flu shots today to keep her and the babies safe. I am back in the full swing of school. It is funny however, how unimportant all of those things seem in contrast to this great new adventure that is about to begin!
We are enjoying being able to feel the babies kick more and more and they are so very active. They really like it when we sing to them and read to them, responding with multiple kicks every time their daddy says hello. During the ultrasound, it was fascinating for Kealy to both see and feel the babies kick at the same time! I cannot believe that there are TWO human beings growing inside of my petite wife!
We are so thankful for how well the pregnancy has been going so far. Both Kealy and the babies have got nothing but good reports and we are thankful for all of your prayers as we continue to enjoy this adventure of pregnancy. Please continue to pray for the safety and health of our little ones and their mother.
in Christ,
Ryan and Kealy Thorson
Here are some pictures from our most recent ultrasound. In them you can see the babies facial profiles and their heads 'snuggling' together.
