Large and In Charge

Crichelle went to her appointment yesterday and everything turned out fine. She got her results back from her glucose screening and it was fine as well. There was a little doubt in the back of our minds that Jaxon might not be a boy, but that was confirmed loud and proud yesterday. The boys are doing fine and growing well. According to Babycenter.com, at 24 weeks the average baby is 1 pound, 4 ounces. Well, I guess our children have started down the path of being above average as Jordan was 1 pound, 7 ounces and Jaxon 1 pound, 10 ounces. They are currently stationed side by side inside of mom with Jordan on her left and Jaxon on her right.
I would post pictures, but the pictures this week weren't very clear. Next appointment, I will post pictures because we should be at the better ultrasound machine. Four weeks from now, we are getting the 3D ultrasound. That should provide us with the best look at Jordan and Jaxon that we have ever had.
Although this is not how Jordan and Jaxon are positioned, this gives a representation of twins at 24 weeks. The big difference between this image and our current situation is that Jaxon, the one on the left, is butt down and head up. I have found out that medically that is called breach. Jordan, or the baby on the right is head down which is called vertex.
