Twists and Turns

We had our monthly ultrasound yesterday to make sure the twins are growing the way they should. Two significant events happened in the past month.

First, J.T.’s testicles have dropped. The ultrasound technician made sure to point that out and even printed a picture with a little arrow pointing to them. (I’ll post the picture if there’s a demand) I have to admit, I felt a little pride there. I’m not sure why, but hey, my boy has testicles so it’s all good.

Second, we have been told for months that the only way our OB will deliver the twins vaginally is if at least one is head down and that they are both about the same size. The last few ultrasounds have confirmed that we were doing good - both were near each other in weight and both were head down. So, imagine our surprise when the technician casually mentioned that BOTH of them were heads up. The little rascals had managed to turn around. And now there is little possibility of them turning back due to the crowded conditions.

I have this image of one of them figuring out how to turn around and then showing the other how to do it. I also imagine that this won’t be the last time that something like that happens. I can see it now - one of them learns to do something really dangerous and quickly teaches the other.

We’re in trouble, aren’t we
