What a difference a year makes

We've been observing lots of milestones recently, as we compare our life this summer to our life last summer. On Sept 4, 2009, we had our first ultrasound and received quite a surprise. Although we saw three strong heartbeats, we were warned that we might lose one (or more) baby in the first trimester. Those next 6-7 weeks were harrowing, and our first tiny sigh of relief came once we made it out of the first trimester.

Here's what the babies looked like at 6, 7, and 8 weeks



And here they are at 5 months
