Pocoyo and Chicharon

Months ago I asked Andres what he thought we should name the babies.  He didn't even hesitate when he responded with "Pocoyo and Chicharon".  Okay them.  So we have affectionately referred to them as such :)  You'll be pleased to know those names won't be sticking after birth!

I haven't written much about the twins and pregnancy, but I wanted to share an update.  We are at 34 weeks and the babies are healthy and moving around and have strong heartbeats!  We were able to get a precious picture of our son's face, but the little girl is camera shy and hasn't let us see her face even one time!  And believe me... we have had enough ultrasounds that that is really a feat.  Due to various health problems throughout this pregnancy, we have had lots of doctor visits and at this point could not be more thankful to have healthy babies!

However, healthy they may be, they are not growing as they should due to the placenta.  So it looks like they will coming early!  We expect to do a c-section early next week, most likely Tuesday!  So pray for a healthy delivery and babies who can breathe and eat on their own, so that they can come home with me next week.  They are currently both around 4 pounds!

Keep your eyes out for pictures!  I'm officially on maternity leave, so expect the blog to take a personal turn a few weeks as I take a step back from Puerta de Esperanza.
