This week we had our ultrasound, where the doctor tried to look VERY carefully at the genders.  And she is “almost” positive that they are…

!!!

But we’ll wait for our next ultrasound to be totally sure!  We can’t run out and buy pink and blue just yet!

The doctor noticed that the girl was kicking the boy in the head- already acting like siblings!  I’m sure they were “love kicks” 😉  We got a nice picture of little girl, but the boy was turned upside-down with his back to the camera, so maybe we’ll have a better photo op next time!

This week, the babies are the size of onions (the size of the foods are debatable, because I have an avocado-their relative size last week-in my house right now that is much bigger than an onion, but I’m confident that they are growing, so they must be some big onions!)

To prove how big these onions are, here are the 17 week pics.

This week the babies can open and close their mouths, which also means they can suck their thumbs!  They have fingerprints already, and are moving their eyes around, although they can’t open them just yet!

Just for fun, here is a picture of their progress from week 10 to week 16! (You can click on the picture to make it bigger).
