The latest doctor visit shows all babies growing and at appropriate development levels for 17 weeks. They are now each about 5 inches. Definitely taking up some space. Here's a belly pic of J.

It was a quick doctor visit, not many photos to choose from but here are a couple of unusual ones.

When we see the babies up close on the ultrasound monitor sometimes we forget how really close together they are in the uterus. Here are the heads of Baby A and Baby B.

Baby C arching his/her back. We still don't know the sexes of the babies. Maybe next visit. Baby A is a blur in the lower right corner.

Baby A kicking out. Probably kicking Baby C.
Many have asked us how they know which baby is A, B or C. A is the baby closest to the cervix. The babies move freely within their amniotic sacs but the sacs stay in basically the same position inside the uterus. So each ultrasound finds the same baby in the same area of the uterus.
